Do we need another forward?

At the time of writing we have the following:
Sturridge, Ings, Origi, Balotelli, Lambert and Borini. Admittedly the last 3 maybe viewed as surplus and will be sold if an acceptable bid is made. That still leaves us with 3 two of which are yet to play for us but you would assume are in BR's plans. If we play 4231 we only need one Striker.
If we play 433 then the likes of Coutinho, Firmino, Lallana, Markovic and Ibe (assuming Sterling goes) come in to the picture.
This is an abundance of attack minded players if we buy Benteke or any forward surely that is going to be detrimental to either Ings or Origi, the later of which already has 19 caps for Belgium and stunt their development and we will have another couple of players that were never played or showed their potential. Are we not better of using the resources we have and wait until January and spend the money elsewhere.
 
I'd rather have a top DM than another striker at the moment. But in an ideal world, yes, we need to ship some of the shit out, and get a proven goal scorer in.
 
We definitely need another striker. At least one of them is likely to be injured at any given time (mostly sturridge) and another out of form so i'd like to have at least 1 on the pitch and one on the bench.
 
We need Goalscorers not necessarily a 'Striker..'

As the current crop of strikers bar Sturridge are not upto the task..



I wrekon Origi will be loaned out again if we Keep Sterling and get another Striker in.. Just a hunch...
 
We can't gamble on the fitness of Sturridge two seasons in a row. I'd like a shit hot forward to compliment our sexy attacking midfielders (Coutinho, Lazar, Lallana, Frimino, Ibe).

Origi and Ings will get games but I still want someone up there who we 'know' can produce goals.

I'm sure Borini & Balotelli will be loaned/sold if anyone will take them.
 
I don't even think of Sturridge when I think of our striking options for next season... out until October for who knows how long before the next injury, we can't, our at least we shouldn't, let the false hope that he might be fit this season prevent us from signing another striker. We need a reliable source of goals in the team.
