I don't understand why we don't look at strikers in Sth America that we could buy to develop into the next round of star forward(s). Places like Uruguay, Columbia, Argentina have loads of talent that may not be the solution for right now, but could be in 2-3 years. Work permit issues etc I know, but there is a way around all that crap
Buying strikers is a whole different world to defenders and midfielders. We need a different approach
Work permit changes were made last year. It would be almost impossible to get a young South American player in.

Son and N'jie no
Im using them as an example but having someone that can play up top would make a big difference.
Chadli has alot of attributes but isn't being tried there so is a mute point.
In our 4231, there is an over reliance on the AM3 and at times they leave our striker to do basically feed off scraps or try make something himself rather always servicing him. However when the above are tried there it seems to get much worse imo
If Kane picks up a knock and we need a striker to do a job I rather rely on an actual striker who can do the role rather than the above running around trying to be a striker but not really troubling
If I had the choice between Pato and one of Son or Chadli starting up front, I rather go with Pato tbh(though it appears chances of getting him on a loan are slim). Even someone like Immobile who was at loan Sevilla and now gone to Torino on loan would have been great imo
I think all the Berahino fans should realise that he will not becoming to us mainly because their chairman doesn't want to deal with us Levy wants him on the cheap and he's going to Newcastle. So I think you can forget that one.

It also looks like Townsend is going nowhere if Levy insists on 14 mil for him I don't see anybody paying that. To me he's a 10 mil player at the most.We obviously see him as surpluss to requirements so take the 10 mil and move on mr Levy, Please.

Young Dembele.But who a level above that would want to come to sit on our bench ?
When has an ITK ever been right?s
HY's ITK also said we got £14m for Townsend I thought
Young Dembele.
He knows the English game and can score goals and is a striker.
I like Berahino but I don't think he's what we need really. We need a young understudy who knows the league who is an out and out striker and will be a better suited option than Son / N'Jie / Chadli etc but won't be too pissed at not starting that many games, who we can bring on as an impact sub and start in the games vs lesser teams and as he develops we can play him alongside Kane.
Does Dembele know the league? I mean PL. I agree though. I would be tempted to keep clear of Berahino (after all the mess from which neither player nor owner emerge with much credit. Give Peace a chance? Nah)
Who wouldn't want to see an Academy lad scoring goals. But Poch's has given pitch time to a lot youngsters without any strikers making an impression. It is the opposite approach but unless we have something lined up I think Austin would have been fine.

I hope it is not the case that he has an absolute right of veto over any possible signing. If that is the case then he would be totally responsible if we don't find a Kane back up and run out of goals. Levy would get the stick though.Poch didn't want him.

Might be easy for you to write off £4m as nothing. Doesn't work like that in the real world.I think all the Berahino fans should realise that he will not becoming to us mainly because their chairman doesn't want to deal with us Levy wants him on the cheap and he's going to Newcastle.

Latest Grey Fox ITK should ease some pain.
