Call me wildly optimistic, but I find it hard to believe that Jose would be so direct and show his cards if we weren't reasonably down the line on something.

Unless he wanted to put pressure on the club

Possibly but the pressure he would be adding would be the selling club deciding they can hold out for a bigger fee knowing we're gagging for a new striker.

I'm sure he wanted to put pressure on the club to find a striker in winter transfer window especially when Kane was out and we didn't have Bergwijn yet and he didn't say anything similar to todays quotes

Maybe it was Edouard this whole time?

Daka = Patson Daka
Rob Patson (Pattison) was in Twilight as... Edward.

Edward...Edouard...

(joking, of course, but thought it was a funny cryptic link)

Possibly a bit of both?

He could be quite confident that we will shortly sign a particular striker but wanted to give Levy a little nudge to make sure that he doesn’t blow it at this late stage.

This is one characteristic of Mourinho that I like over Poch. While Poch would go above and beyond to shield Levy when it came to transfers, Mourinho will make no bones about it.

Don't know much about the lad, but looks pacy and decent height. I think we need to not just be looking for backup to Kane but also someone who can offer something different from the bench, or someone who could play alongside him.

I think finding the right 2nd striker will help get more out of Kane too, if he is not burning out playing every game on a congested fixture list.

True, but I suppose a lot of clubs would be aware anyway, given how short we were without Kane and Son last season (plus I don't think Son is best as an out and out striker).

Just hope we find the right player and the fee demanded from the selling club doesn't put Levy off.

Salzburg heading out of the UCL at this rate. Daka to be sold to prop up the clubs loss of UCL revenue?

I know, I know “optimistic“ rep pending...
