You could have Alfie May,Clarke Harris and Thierry Henry up front.
But if you can't stop shipping pathetic goals it's all futile.
Getting a physical striker is one of various improvements we need to stop conceding so many. It’ll give us an outlet to hold up the ball and another big player to defend set pieces with.
For me this shows a lack of ambition from JCH and another expensive mistake from us, why when he can leave on a free and negotiate a whopper contract at the end of the season would you sign for a shitshow-gonowhere club in January. He's only going to entertain us if we've offered him a stupid contract and he's not confident that a championship club will be interested in him come May so he's just gonna take the money and fuck it...
It’s a struggle to be positive about anything at Charlton but we have paid a fee for a player it’s a difference to past. We need quite a few more signings before we can compete with the top six but Apples has to start somewhere.

We ain’t losing today so I’m having a good day.
We've paid fees for DJ, Kirk, Fraser, Lavelle, Chuks, and May in the last couple of years. JCH, along with May, probably represent the lowest risk we've made when paying a fee for a player.

Having a striker who can hold up the ball and allow the whole team to get up the pitch and relieve pressure is part of being a good defensive side.
Back four and the midfield also needs attention from a defensive perspective but someone like JCH is part if the jigsaw, imo.
In the summer when his move to Bristol fell through I understood not wanting to pay £1m for a League One striker when you don't feel like he's the final missing piece. I still don't think he's the missing piece, but you're bang on when you point out that when the ball goes forward to him it sticks, and the only other forward who does that for us consistently is Chuks.
I think this is also a move planning for life after Miles. And if that's the case, then it's good forward thinking because JCH may not be available or may not want to come here in the summer.
Still have to get it over the line, but it would be a good signing and it would certainly show intent.
Even if the defence is the highest priority, players like JCH aren’t available for transfer every window, especially at a reduced price. If you want them, you have to sign them when they’re available.
Signing BWP in January 2011 didn’t necessarily make us a better side right away, but was the right move long term.

We can't stop conceding goals my dear chap
So not much higher!
