if kane is out wont matter about defenders because we wont score goals
We need another Centre Forward for sure but this has been proven to not be the case.

Under two weeks to go for Napoli to stand a chance of getting an ok fee, otherwise they’re in Eriksen territory in January where it becomes a case of sell him for peanuts or he’ll agree a pre contract elsewhere. If anything the Leyton Orient situation will have helped us as now we likely only have 4 fixtures before the deadline (assuming a win in North Macedonia) so we aren’t in a desperate situation that Napoli could leverage. Only hitch is if a more appealing club is thinking the same way, but I’m not sure who would go for him that represents a better option than us at this stage.

I’m struggling to understand who our first choice striker option has actually been this window. We seem to have looked at so many strikers and not made a move for any of them.

Jose’s #1 priority is clearly a striker.Confident we'll sign a striker but who we get probably depends on who we get in at CB first. It's funny, a lot of the talk this summer has centred around getting in cover for Kane but my feeling is the bigger priority for Mourinho is a quality CB.
Think we probably have a greater pool of potential signings in mind to cover Kane. The club are probably looking to weight their spend towards a quality first team CB. If we were to spend considerably on one of Skriniar or Dias, I think we'd try and do a deal for Milik considering his contract situation up until the end of the window but if we didn't get anywhere with that, will probably see a cheaper option such as Diallo arrive unless the price of say someone like Vinicius comes down towards an acceptable level for us towards the end of the windows.
If neither Skriniar or Dias come off, then maybe we would try and get Kim Min Jae done for a lower fee and then be prepared to put more towards a striker. Obviously, lots will depend on what we bring in from sales. Still feels like there's a lot of variables at play for us in this window.

Maybe at the beginning of the window but wouldn't be surprised if it's dawning on Mourinho that Dier as a starter at CB is not a long term solution. Also not convinced he is won over by Sanchez either. Yes in the media, up until now the noise has generally been about us getting a striker but I think the club will be quite happy with the attention being focussed there and then go about there work in getting in a quality CB. Again, no doubt Mourinho wants a striker and will be shocked if weren't to bring one in this window.
This Milik saga is really starting to sour my cheese
