Harry Kane

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.

The Delap news may that plan B is underway, on the other hand it might mean Jesus leaving is underway and Delap staying as back up is plan A and Kane underway.Who knows?

What’s caused all the doom and gloom?

Expecting to get news on the negotiation today maybe?

Losing yesterday and not scoring. If we had Kane we'd have 3 points and we'd have won the CL.

Don’t know, been working all day so just presumed something had come about that he’s not coming. If people are flapping over no news then Christ

Impatience, with a heavy side plate of flapping

We lost the league yesterday.

Yesterday didn't matter anyway, the Rags won it Saturday.

I think the doom and gloom stems from the longer it draggs out the less likely it seems it will happen.
Still a faint glimmer of hope here, also hoping the weekend performance will see us addressing other areas that need it also

 

[Bluesince88]

The result yesterday followed by no real update.

So no news. Not an issue for me. Him not being in the squad or stadium yesterday is all I need to know. Relax blues

What's the news on Delap?

A post earlier with a quote that the EDs coach said Delap would stay with the club but not with the EDS. Can’t remember where the quote came from.

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.

I really don’t understand that logic. We won the league last season by 12 points and scored 83 goals. Most of the season we played without a striker due to Sergio’s all too frequent injuries. It’s not ideal but there is no reason why we can’t do it again this season.

Gundo, KDB, Mahrez, Torres, Jesus, Sterling and maybe Grealish all have goals in them.

If it was 100% off we'd know. The silence suggests its still very much alive

It's worth remembering as well it takes some players a long time to get up to speed in this City side.

So if we sign a stop gap option who's not quite as good, we would have two problems:

1) He's already a worse player, think what a struggling version of that player might be.
2) By the time he gets up to speed we buy the replacement anyway.

Exactly, Sky would have it on continuous loop.

Oh yeah we definitely would of know. Don't get me wrong am not worried about this I am very confident.

Is Martin Blackburn a credible source? He’s saying we’re at an advanced stage??

Extremely reliable

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Just bring back Kelechi and admit he never should have left.

Fake news mate, there's no such article. Just someone trying to troll
