So if our final import isn't a striker, who would it be then? 

I get people's angst over us not having a striker but Brockie in the past has scored goals. I know he isn't everyone's favourite but I don't consider it impossible that he rediscovers his old form. I think that Burns is a very good signing as we need quality more than anything else. I can see us creating lots of chances....some have to be put away.

Brockie won't discover his 'old form'. It's the way he plays. 2 Seasons ago our style of play suited him. No structure, lots of long balls, and a fair bit of luck.

He was awful last season because he didn't adapt to the new possession based style of play. The reason he's always up the front line looking for a miracle pass or practically doing nothing is because he is waiting for the long balls. 

I would be very surprised if Boyd doesn't start over him now.
