A striker in January

[mosssideblue]

We seriously need to look at acquiring a striker if Kun and/or Dzeko are out for January. We cannot afford to drop silly points by not having an out and out striker.
My suggetions;
Roberto Soldado (Tottenham). Let me make my case before you all slate me. This would be a loan option. In Spain this lad was lethal in front of goal. It's just not worked at Spurs. He's had to spend most of his time out of the box. he was a poacher supreme. He played with Silva at Valencia so Merlin will know just how to get the best from him and he'll know when to make runs ready for David's pass. He'll also be on huge wages (for Spurs) and Mt Levy would gladly like to have him off the books (even if it's short term).
Aleksandar Mitrović (Anderlecht). Young striker (20) who is a real talent and scoring in Belgium. This lad will go on to play for a much bigger club. Ideal if we want an upcoming striker with first team/champions league experience to play when we need to rest Kun and/or Dzeko. Would cost about 10 million. A great purchase as a 3rd or 4th choice with potential to push for more starts.
Alexandre Lacazette (Lyon). This lad is on fire and the talk of the league in France. Scoring for fun. Would cost 15-20 million. Wouldn't play 3rd or 4th choice though.

My preference would be a loan for Soldado.

Thoughts..

I reckon that we do not need to buy another striker because if we do we'd be reverting to having 2 out-to-outs. Our results in recent times have proven that when its one striker plus an AM behind him we are a lot tighter. Why not talk about how to get robben, reus, sterling, Alexis, etc (the unlikely) or ntep, ribery, etc (the likely) in summer and of course if possible, right now

Not until the summer mate. Tolm reckons we have agreed a £3m fee with Celtic for guidetti, and Nastasic is likely off to shalke for £10m. If they went through then we would have around £25m to spend.

thanks friend, not many strikers worth having for £25m, looks like Big Dave Watson will be having another field day at the end of the window.
(I know, I know, he doesn't enjoy it ;-)

Hahaha he's back already is mr misery!

Nice one, keep your head in the sand if you don't like what you hear :-)

If we don't buy Reus I'd rather we signed nobody anyway

Manuel has said as much and he makes a point regarding CL squad restrictions and the FFP restrictions. Chelsea might be on the verge of making an offer for Reus which will be a sickner considering our hands are tied behind our backs. Our players are tiring and we have injuries to key players.

Good point. Hopefully Real Madrid will take him.
