Copy and paste from my comment in the Transfer Forum --
I go back and forth on our most pressing need, but with an old half-fit Cavani we look totally different with a competent center forward who can lead the line and actually make the opposition CBs sweat.
My current hierarchy of needs, subject to change after WestHam tomorrow:
1) A center forward, straight up number 9. Someone who can win headers, who can hold the ball up and bring others into play, who can get on the end of crosses in the box. I have no idea who to suggest. I would have gone with Raul Jiminez if he was a few years younger. Maybe use Harry Kane or Lewa as the template.
2) CDM - we need a Roy Keane / Viera clone. There a number of these available, I'm sure....
3) A winger who can play on the right or the left, but preferably the right. Someone with pace and work rate and good decision making, who can beat his man one v one and create havoc on a low block team parking the bus.
4) CB - an athletic specimen that can win sprints and win headers consistently in a crowded box. We need a Vidic clone.
