Harry Kane

[RandomJ]

If we don't get Kane then I'd put Delap up front.

I agree. He still has a lot to learn but he has real presence up front and can finish. I’d rather us give him a chance than continue with a false 9.

Absolute disaster the state of our affairs regarding our striking options.
Really worrying that we’ve let it come to this! Ridiculous to allow Messi to go to PSG and miss out on Kane. Crazy from the board.

Not like you to be so positive

Ok, ok, ok. Just got in from work and from this thread I see the deal is 100% off.

So, just hear me out. What about Martial from the Rags. We'd get him for around £50m to £60m. He's a world class finisher and has pace to burn. He's used to playing with the very best. He's a proven winner in a team that wins trophies for fun.

Worth a punt??

Is it 100% off

If it’s an alternative to Bamford then I’m in. Just checked and his release clause is 82m, I’d take a punt as he’s a good age, already lives locally, is hungry, works hard and can finish

I'm quite impressed that we got that many on target.
Usually we have many shots with a very few on target.

I couldn't care about the Kane signing, if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen but what would be unacceptable is not signing any kind of alternatives. You're paying scouts and people in leading functions to prepare on the short and long term vision. And putting your basket on just one target doesn't seems to show that.

But we know the club is extremely well run, so what ‘seems’ bad planning from your viewpoint, is most likely the wrong view. It may not be, sometimes the best people make errors, but that is the most likely thing because those errors when they happen are usually one off bad decisions not long term planning.

Can’t tell if you’re joking or 100% serious?!

Got to be taking the piss

If we really do not sign a striker it's bad management and someone needs to be responsible for that. This is just not okay!

What would be bad would be buying the wrong striker just to get someone.

If the club don't think there is a suitable alternative to Kane, then we go with what we have.

His work rate is why united fans hate him

 

[mosssideblue]

Two alternatives if this doesn't happen, Sarr from Watford who I think we could turn in to a top player, or a cheeky late swoop for Vardy, what do people think?

You're on the piss again.

 

[Bustergonad]

Wissam Ben yedder would be my plan b option.
Scored goals wherever he has been.

Where’s he been?

 

[leo_city]

Where’s he been?

France, Spain, and then back to France.

 

[Bustergonad]

Some of the posts on here tonight are flipping hilarious dear oh dear I’d hate to see you in a crisis

 

[samuelyeboah]

as if he just said get sarr from watford to play striker nah

 

[Kippaxpete]

France, Spain, and then back to France.

...and he's 31.

I agree with this. Striker is not a position where we can paper over the cracks for another season unlike left back where it is just about possible.
The Spurs game gave me a case of deja vu from last season - so little threat when we attack a packed defence. Pep did brilliantly to cope last season but I cannot see it working twice in a row.
Only having one option who is tied to a long contract at a club with a chairman like Levy is nuts.

Your on the piss again.

Taking the piss as usual

If Aguero isn't happy at Barcelona, we can bring him back. LOL.
