I know it's not easy to find proven goalscorers who want to come here, especially in January, but we really need someone who will put the ball in net on a semi-regular basis now that Krishna is out for 3 months. I don't think either Williams or Fitzgerald fit the bill. Having one of them would be nice for the extra depth and experience but we really need goals. I also know Burns wasn't really a goalscorer before Ernie signed him, but he was also a better footballer than either of those guys. 

Any chance we could get Tade as injury cover for 3 months? He might not have the A League experience but he is a proven goalscorer. Plus he's used to living in NZ so unlike other imports wouldn't need as long to adjust.

I'm optimistic that Powell can step up but we need more than just him. If he got injured or suspended we'd be screwed.
