He's 1st choice for Southampton, another nonsense story
Honestly, this is what I was saying yesterday. Shane Long has always been a decent striker, not a natural finisher by any means but he's a pest when he comes off the bench and still gets goals.
IF we can't get our main targets then this is absolutely the kind of player we should be looking at on a short term deal.
He's a tireless worker as well, we could do a lot worse.

Southampton only have 2 strikers, I'd be shocked if they sold him... especially to us.
You could well be right. I dont expect us to sign him, he just nicely supported the point I was trying to make yesterday
Sorry but I can't quite believe what I'm reading here. If we ca#n't find better than Shane Long, we really are right up shit street.
I always say, the world is full of 'strikers' who don't score (enough) goals, and I'm afraid he is one of them, like Connor Wickham, Bafetemi Gomis, and Steven Fletcher for example. We want a young and hungry goalscorer, someone like the young lad I've been banging on about for a while, the lad from Fulham, Dembele. He's young, he's hungry, hes scoring goals although he's in a poor side, and he's going to be a free agent this summer. Please Tottenham, make it so.

You think we should go for a League 2 striker who is older than Kane, because he looked good in a FA Cup 3rd round tie against an out-of-form Swansea?I don't see why we don't go for the in form 23 year old Peterborough striker Washington or the 23 year old Oxford striker Roofe. Both would be low risk signings, cheap and both have potential and are in form. The latter looked very impressive against Swansea in the FA Cup. If they don't cut it in the EPL we won't have any problems shifting them as they're young and proven goal scorers in the lower leagues.
