I wasn't sure whether to stick this in the United forum or the Transfer forum...but I stuck it in here, so if wrong, please don't hesitate to move it.

There's been a lot of talk surrounding buying new strikers, and especially around buying a striker with a "different dimension." eg. buying a bigger, stronger target man style of player, not a little nippy player like Tevez, Rooney, etc.

I do agree that we need another top striker, however, I ask the question, do we really need the different dimension forward?

Throughout this season, we played terrific football, even with the two little men up front, and so I see no reason why we couldn't buy another fast, small striker, as they would slot perfectly into the way we currently play.

I appreciate that a big striker would offer something different, and so on, but would they fit with our current system and style of play - I don't know.

Thoughts?
