I don't think some people appreciate how shallow our striker options are in the current squad. We are in a dogfight for fourth place as things currently stand, and 1 of our 2 recognized, regular strikers is gone for a month. That leaves Defoe, who has a propensity to fade as the season progresses. In fact, in the last 7 league games, Defoe has 1 goal on 28 shots. Even when Adebayor returns, he doesn't provide the type of finishing acumen we need to take advantage of our midfield's service.

Not really. Levy could have bought Ba, Cisse, Jelavic, Michu etc all for really low prices and would have improved us. Were not saying go out and spend 30 mill. Yes he bought some good players in the Summer (Lloris, Verts) but he also did deals for Saha, Nelson etc when we needed something to help us secure a CL spot. Had he bought someone better last Jan we would have prob finished 3rd.

You can defend Levy all you like but you have to admit if he really is thinking of getting Kenwyne Jones in and we miss out on the top 4...who do you point the finger at? He will blame AVB. Ignoring the fact that he spends most of the TW's playing the waiting game till the last day which usually (apart from VDV) doesnt pay off.

Kenwynne Jones is 2013's Louis Saha? Looking at the positives at least he'll be fit & he is a right handfull & quick n relitively cheap. I'll leave you lot to fill in the negatives

Don't wish to dampen the mood but a few on Twitter this morning linking us to Kenwyne Jones. Gards has suggested it could be a goer. So we go from Leandro and Sneijder to a player who plays rugby!

@Gards44: yeh I got told this also and put it on SC! Leandro to costly I'm told!

Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing? Why didn't you also add Andy Carroll to that list?

Maybe because Andy Carrol cost £35 mill and I was listing players that cost under 15 mill?

Unless I am on the wrong clubs fansite, I think everyone knows how threadbare our stiking options are.
AVB knows it Levy Knows it, the question is what are they going to do about it this window?
