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.
