Re: The Little Pea....Javier Hernandez
To repeat myself. I'm not saying that it wouldn't be a good deal for us. I'm saying that I don't understand why he would agree to join us.
but when you play two up top as your prefered formation, you need different types of strikers to create the space and link up - that won't be our default, but will be an option we can use if/when needed.
the theory that because he will be Soldado's understudy means we shouldn't sign him is a very risky one, as it assumed Soldado will a) not get injured, b) not lose form and c) be able to sustain at least a moderate level of form for 60 games.
the only i can think that can acheive a,b and c are Messi, Ronaldo and RVP.
we will be looking for top 4, a domestic cup win and a EL win this season - that will involve A LOT of players playing in different competitions.
with our primary formation being 1 goalscorer up top, it is ESSENTIAL we have a player like Soldado as an alternative option.
