Don't misunderstand me. We seem to have done great business. And we've strengthened in goal, back line, defensive and attacking midfield but if (if, if, if) Mitro misfires, are we relying on AK? Teams in relegation scraps often survive if they have goalscorers and I'm a little surprised that we have not supplemented at CF. BUT I'M NOT COMPLAINING.
Vietto should do the job up top.

The goals will come from all over. Mitrovic is even going to toot them out his bottom.
We scored the most goals in the league with Chris Martin up top. Goals will come even if it isn't Mitro.
And we have Vietto as backup.
The thing that may help is the fact that every player we've signed and probably long time will play as a starter knows how to score goals.
Chambers, Mawson, schurrle, Seri, Anguissa, Bryan, Cairney, Sessegnon all have a track record of scoring goals. That was as much a strength of our season last year than constantly have a lot of goals coming from a striker. Hopefully mitrovic or whoever can play up front can leverage that as much now.
Vietto is 5'8" tall, since 2015 has scored 9 goals in 60 games. I'm sure we will score from all over the park, but IF Mitro doesn't do it (injury or other) perhaps AK will. I do think we'll have a decent season.

He's been down the pecking order at various teams and apparently seemed to wilt under the pressure at big clubs. A lot of people who watch Spanish football regularly reckon that if we get anywhere near the sort of player that he was at Villareal then he'll score for fun
There are goals all over the squad, has anyone even mentioned last seasons top scorer ?
Johansen? Top scorer over last two seasons.

do you remember when Vinny Montella came in on loan, what a player he looked to be... Vietto will make you think of him..pure class.

Watching his highlights he often looks like more of an attacking MF player or second striker that an out and out number 9, often arriving late in the box to score his goals. I think when he does play up top he has a tendency to drop into midfield to get involved in the play, sort of like Firmino does for Liverpool. While this trait suits our play perfectly it could go some way to explain his lack of goals when playing on his own without another striker up there with him.
