So we go back to having one striker who will inevitably pick up another long term injury .
Parrot and Scarlett another year older
Does this mean you want to pay the 38 million ?
Parrot just turned 19 and hasn't done anything yet to suggest he's ready to lead the line for spurs, and Scarlett whose still 16 for another week or so would need to have a Michael Owen/Wayne Rooney type full debut season to justify not buying a replacement striker.
I'm sure we could knock 5m or so off and I'd be happy with that. The reality is spurs don't seem to want to pay the going rate for a backup striker that will spend the bulk of the time on the bench due to how good kane is, but also needs to be good enough to meet our ambitions.
It's a good point.
Totally agree as the club obviously doesn't want to spend money in this department.
That might not be a bad idea actually. Go for a young, hungry type to be almost like an apprentice to Kane. If they make it, we can then sign them permanently and job's done, if not, they go back. And then if, in the meantime, one of our prospects takes a step up, we then have that resource available.
Just because we don’t buy Vinicius doesn’t mean we cannot buy anybody else. He is worth nowhere near £38 million and we can get much more quality for that amount of money. If they do not hugely reduce the price we move on.
Who can we get with much more quality than vinicius for 38m that's prepared to sit on the bench?
Ollie Watkins who scored 25 goals in his last season for Brentford went for 33m. Are you happy to pay that for Ivan toney.
I wonder if there's a Cavani type deal that we could do.
The question is whether the 38 million is money well spent on someone who sits on his arse for 95% of the time during matches ? Wouldn’t that amount of money be better spent on helping to sort out our defence ? With the impact of Coronavirus 38 million is far more than most clubs in the PL are going to be spending this summer In total.
