You can all wish for a striker but, as far as I can tell, Poch has said something along the lines of "We need to find players that will suit our philosophy and way of playing"
So if he can't find who he wants, who wants to come to us, with a price we're willing to pay and whose club is willing to deal then we won't be signing one. Sorry
That's the long and the short of it but I think we will bring someone in though.
You will be spot on. And it pains me to say itI said it from the start and I maintain, we will not be signing a striker this January.
Happily eat humble pie but yeah, don't see it... Despite the glaring need for one.
Based on what out of interest? Just hope? We desperately needed striker in summer, no striker. We've need reinforcements most January's, and never get them, apart from when we were relegation threatened. There's just no history of it with levyThat's the long and the short of it but I think we will bring someone in though.

Well he had no choice, sell now or lose even more of there value, and even more levy wanted rid of there sky high wagesThere's also no history of DL selling players at a loss like he did last summer.
Poch must be doing something to alter his mindset to that extent.

We scored 4 v Monaco.I can't remember exactly how many games Kane started on the bench in the EL, but those saying Son can't stand in need to remember his debut 2 goals, plus Kane sat on the bench v Monaco. Both games Kane never played in and both times we got 3 goals.
I agree we need to get a striker in, but if we were to spend big it needs to be someone that can play in our system, and play anywhere across the front 3 + not upset Son, as he would most probably like to be playing more time by now, and not limit N'jie once he returns. At the moment we have a happy team, we don't want that changing

We need cover and someone to share the burden with Kane, simple as that.
Given our position and the nature of the League this season it would be hugely remiss not to address this glaring need. I understand and accept that Poch and his team will only want players in they deem suitable on all counts, but surely to God we've identified a healthy list of alternatives even if January isn't ideal - we've know about this problem all season long.
I fully expect us to be doing everything in our power to sign another forward this January.
Agree, but I'd also argue that we don't have anyone on the bench who can turn a game. I know Son won us the game at Watford, but his match winning contributions have been minimal so far. I think he's a good player, but there's no point sugar coating it. He's not a CF and nor are Chadli and Lamela, despite some desperately clinging on to the notion that they might be to make it seem more palatable when we don't get one.
Of course Kane will still start the majority of games, but the situation at present is that Kane has to stay on for 90 mins every game, even if he's out on his feet or having a stinker. It's ridiculous and belies our position in the league and our ambitions of where we say we want to be.
