Poch has done an absolutely awesome job to date with the team, but I just can't seem to get my head around us not being able to find the right striker. If X is highlighted as being the right striker by the commitee then surely they should trust their opinion enough to pay an inflated price/premium to get the man?

We really are playing with fire. Chadli and Son can cover but aren't proven out and out strikers. Not long ago the consensus was to have 3 strikers for a season and we're worried having two will kill the new found love and harmony?

Lots and Ifs and buts I guess but a risky position to find ourselves in when we are in a bloody good position to win it this year.

The club have left themselves open to it. It was bad enough when the summer window closed and people thought we'd been left short but come April/May its going to be carnage if it all goes tits.
Personally I'm happy enough with Chadli & son as potential cf backups. & n'jie if/ when he's back this season

I know they're not perfect, but they'll do the job if needed imo

I think the thing is that if we fall short of finishing top 4 this season you want to be able to say "well we did everything we could and gave it a crack", whereas I think we would all be bemoaning the lack of activity much like the year we signed Saha and Nelson when finishing 3rd was achievable and would have lead to Arsenal getting booted out of the CL instead.

Who the fuck will want a striker when Chadli and Son have both knocked in 20 each in our title winning season

40 goals between them in the 15* matches left? Got to say that's really pushing it, even for a fine pair of strikers like them.



*Disclaimer - I haven't bothered to work it out and can't remember how many we've played.

Not a meltdown, but I am right now having a hard time believing that we signed 0, nada, nothing in a year we are challenging for top 4 and more. Somehow incredible. :nailbiting: I guess denial is the better term.
If you go through the premier league table every team in the league has 3 or strikers except one which only has one absolute fucking joke I will let you work out which team that is!!!! Please Harry stay fit.. We are in the best position for a long time and once again Danial deep pockets fucks it up again.. I will take my hat off if we keep it going but Danial fuck wit Levy doesn't want Champions league football as he would have to fork out big bucks! Once again he is just happy5th or 6th keep us on our toes another window goes past 20 million profit and when everything is complete sell the club and fuck off and who will he be laughing at!! Love you spurs boys and girls been all over Europe with you to watch the famous Tottenham Hotspur F.C .. Absolutely gutted once again COYS

But IF it happens, it will be a deserved criticism. There is no denying that our striker options are too thin. You should've seen what kind of abuse Wenger got in Arsenal forum when Coquelin went down, even though they had Flamini and Arteta as a cover. And they now got Eleny.

Pleat confirming

- We only looked at young/cheaper players this window
- Price agreed for Dembele over the weekend
- Poch wanted no loan back, and that was the stumbling block
- Pleat wondering if we'll resurrect it late now Fulham have loaned in and kept McCormack
