Simple question, if Sordell was the only striker we signed this month, would you be disappointed?
In my opinion, having scored only 6 goals in the last 6 league games, we need a 20+ goal a season striker. So yes, I would be disappointed.
I'm not complaining - we're 8 points clear!! - and I'm not saying Sordell would be a bad signing. He's young, talented, and could turn into a top level player. HOWEVER, he's not there yet and we need someone to get us over the line. Someone proven at this level and to come in and get 10-12 goals over the last 20 or so games. Over the first half of the season we've been the best team in the league, but the simple fact is the chasing pack is strengthening (eg Wood to LCFC), which begs the question of 'will we be the best team over the second half of the season?'
And quickly, I'm not being negative (I've just seen us slip up befre), and I know it's only Jan 12, hence the fact this is just an 'if'.
