1. Llorente JM said no!
2. Benteke JM said no!
3. Can’t remember his name, but striker playing in Portugal-permit issues
4. Mario Balotelli JM was not against. But don’t trust dealing with Italian clubs after recent experiences. The offer was 6 month loan, covering his wages. If happy, talk in summer. His club started to play games, and we had not even engaged, so backed off
5. Willian Josè was offered as loan with option. Certainly NOT obligation! Hence us going cold
6. KP (Polish striker from Milan). Agreed ALL . Loan with OPTION. Changed last minute to wanting Foyth/Lamela in similar deal.
How on earth we are going to blame DL is beyond me!

We wont sign a good established striker ever, while we have Kane, I don't understand why anyone thinks we would, genuinely don't get it. Both Son and Steve can and have played there. Why would we spend £20 odd million pound Striker to sit on the bench?
City back up striker, Jesus -£27M a number of seasons ago
Liverpool back up striker - Orgi, average at best
United back up striker - Don't really even have an out and out striker
Chelsea back up striker - Giroud
@robertobaggio not that I'm particularly bothered, how can you dislike that post... disagree sure.
Sorry can try and retract. New to this.

Probably because every window we get this long list of players we tried for, but missed out on for a range of rubbish reasons. Paints us as the unluckiest club in the world.1. Llorente JM said no!

No idea why that WJ wouldn’t work for us. Loan with option was supposed to be exactly what we were looking for.
Easy. It goes back longer than this window. We’ve not had a suitable alternative to Kane and so run him into the ground - and sorry for all his lovers, Llorente was not a suitable alternative - chipped in with a couple goals but was never deemed good enough to allow Kane a rest. The mismanagement of this position has come back to bite us on the arse again, it’s really something that should have been looked at 2/3 years ago.1. Llorente JM said no!

If Mourinho wasn't sure on a player why would we be trying to sign them. Are you suggesting that none of the suspects we were negotiating for were players Mourinho wasn't sure about? I find that difficult to believe.

Yeah, we knew he had failed 2/3 years ago, so point still stands.Ummm Janssen was bought no but failed?
We can’t get Piatek he’s gone Hertha.Benteke is past it. You may as well stick a pole up front it will move more.
Having had dealings with Italian companies in the past I can say they always change at the end. You finally agree a deal you meet to sign a contract and they knock 5 or 10% off or they won't sign. We eventually used to only agree a deal for more than we'd accept so that when they fucked about we had it covered. It's not personal it's just business.1. Llorente JM said no!

It's not like those 6 are only strikers - even for short term - available. Landing no one is down to DL. Desperate need was there for best part of the month, he has seen how we play without a striker.
