Hodgson on buying a striker

"I'm afraid it is a very naive way of thinking. The fact is there aren't many January transfers where you bring in players who transform a team that has been struggling to scoring goals, he said. At the moment, we have a number of attacking players, and [Christian] Benteke is not too far away. [Jordan] Ayew, [Alexander] Sorloth and [Connor] Wickham are all training every day and trying to get into the team. I am pretty confident at the moment that, given the way that we play, and the way we have played up to now, that the goals will come anyway. And I certainly don't believe there is a magic solution out there that no one else has ever thought of or considered, or been able to buy, to come in here double our goalscoring tally, because he has still got to play in our team."

Not exactly "we don't need a striker" but worryingly close to it. It's almost like he's talking about a different team.
