Push for the bitey racist firstIf we get Malcom in part exchange, sure.

We need him now, his exit in January is a total non-starter.
He last played a match over a month ago, and Atlanta's first CCL match is still a month away. Can't imagine he'd even be fit to play...Thinking slightly outside the box, how about a short-term deal for Josef Martinez from Atlanta? His scoring record in the MLS is pretty unreal, though of course it is a very different league to the PL.
He'd crossed my mind as well, due to the Spurs connection with their FO. A bit on the small side, though.Thinking slightly outside the box, how about a short-term deal for Josef Martinez from Atlanta?

There are players poch would play straight away we just won't buy them.If we're gonna play a genuine CF while Kane and Son are out, Llorente is gonna be the man, no two ways about it. No matter who you wanna bring in, Poch wouldn't play em till they were up to speed anyway. By that time, hopefully barring injury (ffs) Sonnys back.
Llorente may not have ripped it up since he's been here. But maybe knowing he'll be playing consistently for the next few weeks, may see the best of him. Or he might just be crap, I dunno.
Either way, he's gonna get some playing time.
It's pretty worrying that we did really setup the side to play to his strengths, and he still struggled. I would have thought those long balls in to him would have been his bread and butter given the size advantage he had over Odoi, Le Marchand and Ream, but nope. I think the issue is he's got little to no mobility, his leap is basically gone and his touch when he did win the ball was nothing short of terrible. Missed a couple of golden chances which he simply has to convert and just doesn't look physical enough to lead the line any more.
Other than that, he was wonderful.
I disagree we set up to play to his strengths. Their were hardly any high crosses for him. Be played shit but we still tried to fit him into our way of playing. I think we need to give Janssen the run out
Exactly. He's not the answer.We attempted 32 crosses this match. Two went directly at his head. The one he managed to deflect from his head to his shoulder. The second he almost completely missed.
