Scoring goals is not our problem. Indeed, you could say that trying to accommodate two strikers contributed to our poor defensive showing. If we can replace Suarez with an attacking midfielder capable of 10 - 15 goals a season, we'll be in good shape. We don't need a like-for-like change; we should see this as an opportunity to rebalance the team, and shore up some of our problem areas.

That is excessive and we know Southampton are not gonna roll over and why should they they've got a barrel of cash for losing 3key players.. Is there any truth to the Bertrand rumours.. Very underwhelming if true..

He'd also be handy at defending corners and leaving our more pacier players as the counter attacking threat. He also has the much needed EPL experience, so there would be no bedding in time.
