All Xavi wants for Christmas is a striker.
Well actually he wants a lot more but Barcelona's economic situation means they will only stretch to one significant piece of business in the window and the priority is an obvious one.
Sergio Aguero has retired. Memphis Depay has not shown himself able to take on the central striking position Xavi wanted him to play.
And there is a spectacular lack of chemistry between Xavi and Luuk de Jong which will see him leave the club in January back to Sevilla unless Barcelona can somehow use him to bring in another player.
