I can't imagine we're after 6 players.

If the club employee told the truth I'd imagine it would be 2 or 3 targets per position and if first choice doesn't work out then move quickly to the 2nd choice.
Maybe six targets out of which we'd sign one or two.

Besides the pace, I mostly agree with you, but I’m more making the point that although we’ve had some notable success with a 9 this season I don’t think in the long term we intend to play one, so I’m more thinking that we’d play 2 x No 10’s interchanging I think Vydra was really a No 10 but coming ...

'Blue Velvet', mentioned earlier, one of my all time favourites. Speaking of David Lynch though, I watched his original Dune today, which is pretty terrible.

'Don't Look Now' is also a great film.

It would take a complete catastrophe from us, and a very good run from a team like Watford for us to concede an 11 point advantage. For context, the bookies have us at 1/6 ...

There are two ways of looking at it.

1. We're top of the league so therefore we don't logically need to change anything
2. We don't possess a pacy, powerful centre forward and a striker fitting this description would improve the squad
Option 2, Rowls.
