I think we can get by with having a quality winger, it's more important that they're naturally comfortable out wide. They don't necessarily have to be top, top class.
In regards to a striker though, yes I think whoever is leading the line for us needs to be world class for us to challenge again. Mourinho is showing with Spurs how important it is to have a top CF to take your chances when you get them.
I think we can fix the right wing without necessarily buying the 'best in class', but to be a top team you need a world class striker. Cavani, Lewandowski, Suarez, Benzema, Aguero. All the most successful clubs over the last decade have been characterized by a world class CF, a world class midfield, and a top CB pairing. If the spine of your team is strong, I think it's easier to fill out the gaps around that.
