Harry Kane

[TonyM]

Instead of Kane what we need now to get the juices flowing again is a decent relegation battle. Fuck the Premier league, fuck the Champions league. Hello Championship. I remember you well.

 

[Bustergonad]

France, Spain, and then back to France.

Why’s he never stayed anywhere or played for a top club if he’s so good?

 

[Bustergonad]

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

He’s out til November

 

[King-General]

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.

The club is indeed run extremely well but that doesn't mean that every department inside the club are on the same level (like every other businesses there are differences within organisations, and also inside organisations it's very common that people get replaced if they are underperforming). Anyway we still have 2,5 weeks left. We'll see what will happen. But we do need a striker, no if ands or buts.

Wouldn't know mate, not my suggestion either. People are suggesting any striker they think might be available haha

Not that you were being serious but he's out for 2 months injured.

 

[malg]

Is it 100% off

Looking at the tits and tears on here I'm guessing yes.

Anyway.....Martial?

Get it done Blues.

 

[Bustergonad]

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

Works hard? Are you mad?

 

[malg]

...and he's 31.

So at his peak then

Get it done ....

 

[p.taker]

He’s out til November

Minor detail

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.

Exactly, Pep and others at the Club have been saying for weeks that we may well end not signing a striker and that we will use the players we already have. The comment this morning that Delap is not going out on loan indicates that this (plan B) is already underway.

To be completely honest I would much rather we invested some money in a proper left back and Defensive Midfielder.

We will always score goals even without a number 9. We can’t continue to play Mendy and rely on Fernandinho to play like a 25 year old.

What’s caused all the doom and gloom?

 

[mosssideblue]

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.

It was the first game, not our strongest line up and clearly lacking fitness. Too soon to panic.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

His work rate is why united fans hate him

and he's a ****.

What’s caused all the doom and gloom?

Yesterday's outcome really

 

[Tugay One Cup]

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?

Vardy has never been suited to us and I really rate Sarr but he's not a striker.

 

[p.taker]

What’s caused all the doom and gloom?

We lost the league yesterday.

If we did it wouldn’t solve our problem with not having a proper striker. A proper striker yesterday and we probably don’t lose that game even with trouble at defensive mid or left back, if our solution is a false 9, Jesus or delap then strap in for a very long season.

Rather bring David James back to play up front.

The result yesterday followed by no real update.
