One would suspect that our last two imports (Krishna being considered a local) wuld be a RB and a striker. We can change formation to use what we have for the other midfielder (Nichols as a B2B but thats stretching it)

One would be wrong. Second quality DM is Rudan's priority. Its an obvious gap. 

Striker surely has to be priority considering we only have one goal scorer on the books.

Nichols is a goal scorer too. Another striker would be nice though, though unless it's a player at least at Roy's level I'd probably prefer a non import.

Nichols has scored a total of 39 goals in the A-League, with 219 appearances. As an attacking mid, that is not a great ratio. Sure, he technically has 'scored goals' but I would not call him a 'goal scorer' than we can rely upon. If we're lucky, he's good for about 4-5 goals a season. Hardly going to rocket us into the top 4.

That's more than respectable!  

It's not *bad*, just not exactly going to fire you to the top.  Approx one goal every 5-6 games. Most of his goals came at Brisbane from 07-13, but he had a good run at the Wanderers with 11 in 53.
