A very good window is close to turning into a disaster if we don’t manage to sign a striker, hopefully we can sell before the deadline to sign one.
Like but still think striker more important.Valencia Yid from TFC
Only know about Skriniar at the moment and all good?
FYPI've said something like this before and it's not meant in a bad way but when you're concluding a deal withan Italian companyDaniel Levy you haven't agreed the deal until at least the day after you think you have, there's always something else, it's good fun. What I take from Hercules' latest ITK is that's where we are and it's a good thing because we couldn't be any closer to completion. For what it's worth I'm wearing my confident hat.
Striker was the most essential position this window so we don't send kane off to the glue factory. Suggesting otherwise is just blowing levy for the sake of it.I respectfully disagree
Disaster?! Really?
We’ve signed a quality LB, Bale can play up front, Gio seems to be firing on nearly all cylinders, N’dom, seems to follow Gio, we’ve got a good RB......should I go on?
I agree a ST and CB would be the icing on the cake but I wouldn’t call it a disaster!

Yep and we’ve been doing that for years. Just need them off our books.This is what worries me, define "value". A lot of players are going for cheap now, if Levy is going to be stubborn and hold out for at least what we paid for our deadwood, we may be in trouble. We have many players that need shifting and we're running out of time.

And there is still a week left. Analyse all you like next Tuesday morning. But until then business can still be done.Maybe I should have been more specific with my wording, overall yes we have had a fantastic window & not signing a striker won’t change that.
However it’s absolutely imperative we sign a striker this window as it’s a key hole in the squad we need to fill & failure to do so will be a disaster in itself.
History shows we have injury prone forwards in Kane & Bale so we can’t solely rely on them, especially with more matches to play this season with the EL.
Interesting that Herc confirms the seriousness of the Dele talks - obviously not just a speculative enquiry. I'd imagine that most reasonable fans would accept/be happy with him departing if it meant getting Skriniar AND one of the upper level strikers we've been linked with, rather than (for example) Seferovic ???

PSG#Dele talks genuine. Been going on for couple weeks now. Cannot go into details, but Conte likes him also, but rule that one out for now. Ideally loan with option, and not obligation is the talks. DL himself does not really want to sell him, unless we get our figure. Will not reveal it here.
