Does it appear we've failed to get our targets now we're searching at the bottom of the barrel?

A giant at the bottom of the barrel?
All confusing innit

In my view it's the correct option to avoid Piatek on a permanent deal. Too risky regardless of whether we have someone else lined up.

He may turn out to be good he may not, I'd rather go with Moura, Son, Alli or Parrot for a few months than take that gamble.

Unless we can sign a worldie or a proven back up striker then a loan deal is the best option.

Yeah unfortunately we can't throw 30 mill here there and everywhere and write it off. Something has to give and we will probably be better off long term spending that cash on Bergwijn. In the short term however with no Kane it's concerning.

Piatek gone to berlin

Good to know some traditions will always stay, Plan C it is then ? ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NorfolkArgus]

So, are there currently two potential signings being discussed?
1. Cryptic from The Goat, which may or may not be a striker.
2. Mystery player at Hotspur Way, who isn’t a striker according to Gards.

The fact it’s cryptic on No1, and for No2 Herc and Tottenhamboys confirm something is going on but won’t name names, suggests it’s too sensitive to release the name on both counts, so presumably not someone we’ve been linked with in the press, or else maybe someone we have but are so close we don’t want to risk getting Willian’d again at a delicate stage.

Or are these two stories about the same player, and I’ve misunderstood.... There has been plenty of positivity over Piatek until this afternoon, but it feels we’ve just walked away and let Hertha have a clear run. Is that because of other players coming available, or because we just felt the deal Milan wanted was not good.

I think if we had Willian Jose there and Chelsea found out they would be duty bound to hijack the deal for bantz. We are going to announce him on 75 mins on Sunday as he comes on as sub against City just to make sure.

 

[Tottenhamboys]

Not signing Berge. He’s going to Sheffield barring a Dybala-like disaster (?)

I don't remember us being liked this window, so wonder if that means we tried...

 

[Clive Wilson]

Parrott has been in alot of training videos lately for someone way off being ready

 

[Tottenhamboys]

To be clear, I am lead to believe Berge has never been on the cards and this doesn’t relate to any activity going on today.

Regarding Sander Berge, JM did not fancy him. He was offered to us even during Sheff Utd talks.

Reluctantly agree- I put a big wager on him this morning. Luckily the kids’ school shoes are still a size too big

Gedson will play that role

I really don't want Giroud

You might not have a choice

 

[easley91]

Got a feeling we'll see how he does while at Sheffield United somehow. Gets him in the English game and likely premier league next season, too.

I'd rather have Wink Wankwurst or whatever his name is.

Jesus, it could happen

 

[the yid]

I have a bad feeling about a striker but really happy with Bergwijn

True, doesn't change my opinion or feeling though. Piatek makes much more sense both for the future and how I suspect Jose wants us to play
