I know it's a tired cliche and I know RM likes us to pass on the floor, but with the two new signings and the Milkman leaving, are we a bit short as a team?

Yes I'm just keeping my hand in for when Watford come callingThat you tony pulis?
Howard, Stones, Jagielka, Coleman, Barkley, Lukaku, Barry, Gibson, Mirallas, McCarthy not to mention signing a new CB....
That was supply rather than the height of our players.We didn't score many headed goals last season and for me that is a legitimate concern. Needs addressing.
Coleman, Mirallas and McCarthy are not tall. Jags, Barry and Gibson (like he even plays) are 6' on the dot, so not exactly giants, and only the former can jump properly. And Howard's a keeper.
You need an aerial presence. Height isn't necessarily everything, Rom is 6'3 but useless in the air, Cahill was only 5'10 but immense at leaping over any CB. Since Fellaini left I'd say only maybe Stones and Jags could claim to be an aerial presence. That is not enough, in my opinion, and it hurts us during set pieces (both our own and the opposition's).
I thought coates from the red [Poor language removed] was outstanding in his few games for sunderland .. 4 mill as well imo a bargain
Never mind that we did not win many defensive headers frton set pieces either . and with TH stuck to his line like glue its a worrying situation|!We didn't score many headed goals last season and for me that is a legitimate concern. Needs addressing.
