We've scored 70 goals in the League, so far, this season, which is only a nano-score less than three per game. To win the title, perhaps we're going to need an average of, roughly, a further 2 per game, giving us 28 more to score (ideally we'd finish up with a round 100).
Jesus is going to be out for a little while yet and we're forever fearful Sergio may be a thug's tackle away from a lengthy injury so, looking at things critically, are we in a position, in the worst of instances, to score another 30 goals to win the Title ??
In my own opinion, I'm not sure we are and we could only be an instance away from drying up completely if things go awry. On that basis, although it would be nice to get another centre-back and full back, in the January transfer window (even another midfielder), it would seem our first efforts would be that we go all out for a further forward to continue and enhance our firepower potentialities, whomsoever that player might be (excluding Sanchez, of course).
I'd hate our title challenge to falter at the final stages, because we didn't score enough goals, especially considering what we've miraculously achieved so far in that Department, given relatively limited resources.
Surely we won't be 'reduced' to playing with a false number 9, because we failed to strengthen this month and the roof fell in on us ??
