Yep, a productive striker will not stop teams taking us apart like Chelsea did.

I hope the club read that Nick because it seems to make perfect sense. They must look at the goals conceded column so surely they can't ignore it.

I have said this several times before, to me its clear RH has total blindspot when it comes to defence
He hasnt ever solved the CB issue, constantly tinkers with personnel and formation, picks the wrong players and keepers
His signings always lean on the attacking intent, he just seems to think attack is the best form of defence
More than ever we need a proven CB

The issue was there long before Ralph arrived

I think Ralph is going to go with 3 central defenders and wing backs. The trouble is I can see him instructing the wing backs to be very cautious about going forward so we'll end up with a back 5 and little creation of chances. We'll be a team that doesn't get regular hammerings but loses to the odd goal. Going behind will be a problem because I can't see us getting back into games. I don't see centre back as our biggest problem because I reckon Salisu, Bednarek and Kotchup will do a job for us. For me the biggest needs are a strong, nippy number 10 who can dribble, carry the ball and pick a pass, a left back to cover Peraud's absence and a tall centre forward who can hold the ball up, head it, has a bit of pace and knows where the goal is. Not much to ask

I dont think Bednarek will be here, he wasnt the same player last season and so far in pre season he has not looked interested, time to cash in and spend the money wisely on a replacement

But he has done zero to solve it, in fact worsened it

I think he has little input on transfers.

The 'buy kids and hope to sell them' approach is very much a board thing which has been embraced by the new owners.

I think Ralph may be getting f'ked off with the owners and is now openly trolling them to get the pay off and leave.

He said this week that Romeu wasn't a natural holding MF player (even though he learnt this under Xavi and Iniesta) and that he might play him further forward as he has 'an eye for goal'.

I think he's just having a laugh now with the absurdity of our recruitment.

Pretty sure that if Ralph was allowed to spend 50 million on a proven striker he would do it. When Ralph departs at some point, we will all see that not much will change. The owners and board have set the transfer policy.
