It's always exciting to see a post from mainstandmoan. His/her information is so consistently reliable.

That said, I loathe the phrase "he could do a job for us". For me it just always seems to convey a lack of ambition. The subtext seems to be "they're nothing special but they'll add something to the team". I can't remember the last time we signed a striker that I was genuinely excited about. And without a really good striker I'm not sure how we're supposed to succeed. Can't we push McGinn into a central position and try pairing him up with Anderson or someone else? At least he's got technique, he knows where the goals are and he scored a barrel load when Pa Broon first brought him here.

It always feels to me like no matter how good a midfield we put together we always seem to lack quality up front (or certainly have since Rooney was in his pomp, recognising his limitations).
