New striker?

It’s a Cinderella story this Delap talk. He needed to be loaned; if he stays, he will play very little games. A club aiming to be the best in Europe can’t rely on a guy just out of the Academy.

I agree, which is why I'm miffed that the club have bodged up signing a number 9 this summer.

I'm purely saying given the situation we are now in, take a gamble by playing the only natural number 9 we have in the first team setup. All it takes is one season of football for a striker to burst on to the scene.

It's clear that he's not going out on loan now, so the club at least do have plans to integrate him properly with the side this season.

We wouldn’t loan him to a club in our league because we know he probably wouldn’t get games, yet somehow people are pinning their hopes on him to play for us. He’s a big lad but those shoulders aren’t broad enough to carry our expectations, not yet.

Swap Delap for Foden and I'm back in 2019
 
Who we want is not necessarily who we'll get of course.

Where's Kane? He's still an option.

Would be interested to see:

"Who do you think will most likely be signed as our striker?"

My rankings on MOST LIKELY for us to sign as of today:

#1) Kane (yes, still him)

#2) Lewandowski (close 2nd)

#3) Haaland (hard to hear, but City fans, have noticed how we don't get to sign these type of players?)

#4) A young talent not yet shown it that impresses this season - Lauturo Martinez, Joao Felix, etc.
Kane has come out and said he's staying at Spurs this season. I can't see anything changing that the next 96 hours.

Pep’s quote today is the end of that story. Amazing that some people are still in denial
