To cover Kane with someone almost as good as him doesnt sound very clever... Tell me when a team with one striker has succesfully had 2 world class strikers in their team for longer periods?

Leicester had Ulloa AS back-up last year.
Arsenal had...? Campbell, walcott?
City had Bony and a teenager...

Thats the top 4....

Interesting parallels. The goons certainly picked up when welbeck returned to challenge giroud, albeit not for too long! Bony misfired, United were too thin up top and the Russians had no decent cover for Costa. A major reason why we managed to finish so high? Probably, although a lot of dodgy cb pairings helped too.

But the point is these rivals will be adding goal power, and we need to keep up by doing the same, ready for the poch preseason.

Cheers Grey Fox, but that's July's line! You should have held it back a week or so.

June tournaments, players away on hols
July difficult market, stay patient still time
August last two weeks is where most of the business is done, when deadline day passes you,can moan

Seen this one before

And in september "Learnt the lesson"

30th June, I thought.

According to press reports they have come to an agreement that he will be sold this summer so the immediate pressure is off.

I for one have total faith that we will buy the striker we need and sooner rather than later.

I really hope you are right. But I'm not holding my breath

I am not putting hopes in Batshit after Juve came in. Don't get your hopes up too high.

We've been linked with this 21YO Algerian. Regarded as one of the best young players in Europe. Starred in the last world cup and has 50 EPL games under his belt.



I've heard there's this 22YO Cameroonian that's of interest. Tore up French football the season before last in an all-conquering partnership with Lacazette. Had a few injuries last season, but should be over them. Very direct, very quick.

Is this ITK?

I like the point you're making, but this bit isn't quite true is it?

EDIT. Nor is this, and I like Bentaleb.

7 goals from 15 starts and 15 subs appearance is not tearing it up,but shows he does have potential when injury free.
