Not sure about your first point (another attacking player is the last thing we need), but this is more than valid.

I agree we have a lot of attacking players but i still think we need a player like Ian Wright was for us who can get us regularly 25 goals plus a season. We have to many 'not quite good enough' strikers. Not consistent enough season upon season, game upon game. We don't need anyone with fancy footwork just someone who can regularly stick out a leg and poke the ball past the keeper. I kinda miss our scrappy 1-0's sometimes....

Personally, i think the first "transer" out should be Wenger. I know some will disagree...fair enough!

He's called Eduardo.

We actually sold Reyes because he wasn't quite good enough. The defenders don't have to be English so long as they're good.

I prefer English defenders, with some exeptions, they are the best with their backs to the wall. Cultural thing The Dunkirk syndrome
I was impressed with Reyes. On his day he played a great game

I disagree, I don't see what being English has to do with being a great defender. You look at the greatest all-time defenders, and in my opinion they're Italian and German, maybe French or Brazilian. Beckenbauer, Maldini, etc. Take the English specs off!
I was a big fan of Reyes too, but at the end of the day he didn't cut it.
