We could probably do with cover so we could keep them fresh - maybe a player who wouldn't cost the earth and would accept 30 games a season (Huntelaar?).

We don't need a big target man to win headers because we're not that sort of team. A really big striker signing like Berbatov would be nice but then it could destabilize what we've already got.
Agreed. I also agree with those who are talking about getting a mobile striker.

I was always a big fan of RVN, but we looked much better when Saha replaced him in 05/06. The Berbatov talk makes me nervous, as I suspect we may be reverting to the RVN system in some ways.
