We really messed up ditching Higauin for Suarez because we ended up with nothing at all in the end.
With Vardy, I'd suggest we keep him as an option because it would be criminal if we end up with nothing again. We can't go into another season depending on Giroud.
But we should be making a move for Higuain without question.
Yeah, I think we're gonna have to try and unearth the next big thing, if we ever want to see a real elite striker at the club - can't see us ever paying what it takes for anyone who's already made a name for themselves, especially with so few of them around and demand so high?
In the meantime, maybe we can work around the problem, or at least make it less of an issue? If we had another wide forward as good as Sanchez on the other side, for example, then could we get away with having a striker who is only 'very good', rather than 'elite'? I kind of feel that this CF issue is becoming a bit of a cop out now - if we can't inject more world-class into the side through the CF spot, then we should be looking at doing it somewhere else...

FFS! Why are we so slow on this?
