Feel sorry for Richie. He hasn’t really had chance. Even spurs fans say he hasn’t been given a chance. But anyway he isn’t our player no more so end of that.
I agree with your points players do suit certain systems. Players you mentioned do suit what we are looking to do. The only difference is the level of quality. We need are strikers and wide players to get at least 10 goals, to stay clear of the drop.
We've survived and did okay off 1 player getting 10 goals with 2 or 3 chipping in with 4 to 8.
Every club needs players who get 10 goals a season. Last season only City, Newcastle, Leicester, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs had more than 1 player scoring 10+ goals.
It's probably not about regularity of scoring goals, it's more about spreading the burden across the team. If we get players in that help others notch up an extra 2 to 3 goals as well as them chipping in... we'll be okay.
Goals arent the be all and end all. Leicester and Leeds were 11th and 12th for goals scored and were relegated. Wolves scored less than us and survived.
But it's an improvement we need to make.
