Ye the more I look back at the summer window , I didn't fancy him at all. Now he would be perfect.

Is this league goals only because I'm pretty sure Saha scored more than 15.

With the squad we have currently, we need a different type of striker.
We don't want the lumbering big man up top, we need someone fast and good at getting between the defenders, creating their own space, or moving the defenders about to create space for incoming midfield players.
I was up in the gods last night and had a perfect view, both Beto and Barry were running towards the 2 centre halfs when we were attacking, neither one trying to move them about.
Grealish will get stick this week for passing the ball backwards, but he's no option, his centre forwards are not available.

Out of those 3 attributes I listed both strikers can't hold the ball up, link up the midfield - win the ball in air - or score much one goal this season between 2 of them ....? for nearly 50 million plus for both of them ?Not wanting much then! Can't afford even the 500k a week for the City giant, never mind the transfer fee!
You either have it, or not - they are both in the NOT category

Rather have Che Guevara or Bryan Adams
Personally, i think it’s more about what we need immediately than what may or may not blossom into a quality striker.
I have great sympathy with Barry as there’s a huge and unjustified level of expectation on him. If we actually had a strike force that would allow a 21/22 year old to adjust to a new home and league, no one would really be that bothered about him imho, but we didn’t.

Would 100% rather have Vardy coming in for half an hour than Barry

There's tactical changes that need to be made before people can start blaming players.
If the striker is consistently not holding up the ball then Pickford and the centre backs need to stop pumping it long. If KDH's natural game is to roam and float into the half spaces inside the wings, then a deeper centre mid needs to push up and stay properly central. We need full backs. Beto's all around game isn't good enough and Barry hasn't shown a lot yet, but we are slow and predictable in possession. Momentum always slows down when the ball gets to Myko or O'Brien. It stops us getting the ball into the box with any space free.
These are all issues that Moyes needs to address, because atm feels like the plan is to hit Grealish, let him hold it while we get players up the pitch and then basically just hope something will happen.
Like yeah it is frustrating watching Beto completely fail to use his physicality to battle centre backs in the way that he could and should, but you can't blame strikers for a team not winning matches when they aren't missing chances.
