Who would you bench though? The front three are all pretty good, we should be looking at signing a player who is a step up on our defensive options.
Sign a wide striker, we get another goal scoring option and have WeeMac/Ridenton/Rufer cover midfield with Watto/Rogerson falling down the pecking order on the bench
Sign a midfielder, we still only have AK9 & Krishna as recognised goal scorers, Watto/Rogerson remain as our bench options.
We have more depth to cover the midfield role than a wide forward role.
Not sure I would agree. Just because we have cover does not mean those in place are effective.
AK9 and Roy are "recognised goal scorers" but so is Vidosic, and they are all experienced and a class above Watson and Rogerson. I am not convinced we need more strikers at this point.
Our midfield is less blessed with talent and experience and I would like some more support to Paracki and Weemac who are class above the rest and where we suffer if one of them is out injured or has a bad day in the office. We need to have more experienced players in midfield at present to get ourselves in order. Finkler's inability to contribute was one of the symptoms of this problem.
Edit: remember how Roly was targeted by other teams with cynical fouls when he arrived at Phoenix? That's because he was an effective midfielder that everyone recognised as a key player for us. I am thinking of spending money on someone in that category but obviously they may not be available in January window.
