a striker with some physical aerial, pacey or athletic presence
This is EXACTLY what we need! We don’t have that focal point up top, and we haven’t had that for some time. More often than not, Taylor seems to be dropping deep or coming out wide to get involved. That’s great for linkup play, but when your number 9 is pulled so far away from where he should be, its going to cause problems. Too often he’s the one putting crosses in, and our striker is nowhere to be seen.
For me, I think we need a striker that can play off the shoulder of the last man, do him for pace and get in behind. The whole ‘fox in the box’ style of striker is great when the service is there, but ultimately, we lack any form of plan-B.
Joseph returning will be a big plus, also!
