Playing the 'no point if they're not better than what we've got' doesn't fly when you've only got 1 recognised out and out striker. You can afford to be picky when you're looking to replace someone or if you have depth but not when you only have 1 option to start with. Kane can be great but he's run into the ground and it's starting to show. Getting a player to come to us on our terms is obviously an issue but there's no doubt that there's quality players out there who would improve our squad.
Well if that's the case, we'll be fine. I definitely think there are strikers out there who can improve us and I personally thinking this time Levy can afford to push the boat out a bit more as we might be getting 12mil+ for Townsend. Maybe you're right.

Time for Levy to back his manager but how many times has that happened? No often. We had the same spiel years ago when Berbatov left and our remaining strikers couldn't hit a barn door... yet we were told there wasn't anyone out there who could improve on what we had.

Spoke to someone who's given me decent info in the past tonight. He was in the directors box and I sit just behind it - apparently Poch is pushing very hard for a new striker - all this 'happy with what he's got' is just party line.

It's beyond frustrating, we need action and not 'we've been talking to WBA for 6 months'.

What's the betting we cash in on Townsend and bring nobody in. It's all pointing that way thus far.

I'd imagine it's berahino or no one.

Probably but I don't get that mindset from the club. No one in will be a big mistake. We've seen as much this season so far.
Cheers for passing on your info though. Let's hope he gets his way.
I already brought it back on january 1, I believe. But all the same...

Alex Pritchard. Once he's fit, I firmly believe he'll be pushing Eriksen hard.
Not gonna happen, btw. I dont see us buying anyone.

If Afobe costs £10m and Shelvey £12m then a proven Premier League and international player like Townsend (with overpriced English player tax included) is worth at least £15m. At least.

The more we sell Townsend for the more we have to fund a striker.

Where has it come from that our striker search hinges on the sale of townsend?

I assume due to freeing up a squad place and our long history of zero net spend.
