If this was the plan then not signing a striker wouldn’t have been so bad, I just get the feeling Jose won’t throw him out there with such expectations while Kane is out injured

Sorry mate, but this isn't true about TAA, he has played RB since U16 and he was very highly rated by England coaches (he scored 6 goals in 10 games from RB for the England U19s) and I dont know how you could possibly compare who was more highly rated by national youth coaches when they played different age groups.
What the new stadium will get us is world record profits on a continued annual basis the record is subject to pot luck and whatever the manager can achieve with restrictions.
I just cannot see Jose sticking it out here especially after now seeing what we are all about, one month to get a striker in and yet we spend the last two days sniffing around a 33 year old from Chelsea that just seems laughable from the 8th richest club in the world this just sums us up.
So now it's make do time again trying to negotiate our way through the CL, FA cup and finish as high as we can without a recognised striker but instead use son and moura both of whom at the moment are struggling to hit a barn door.
Nevertheless on a plus note both rose and eriksen are gone so that should help with a better vibe around the club along with sending people out on loan which helps reduce the wage bill.
I’d have to say this was a decent window for us overall, even if it doesn’t instantly help us for the remainder of this season.
GLC, Fernandes, Bergwijn in.
Rose, Eriksen Out
With Hugo back, Tanganga coming thru, the above players, and hopefully a run of games from Tanguy, it feels like a fresher feel.
we haven’t panicked bought a nobody up front for £30m.
Obviously still have plenty of issues to sort, but look at this market, it was never all going to happen in this window.
Bit worried we got the wrong Fernandes but I guess we made our choice in the summer and prioritised GLC.
Chelski didn’t strengthen, United, Wolves and Us did business, so I think the top 4 race may still have legs.

Son at the moment is off form so is moura both of them are struggling in front of goal and then just wait until son gets injured we will have no one
Well we are struggling to score and can't keep clean sheets so I don't think the top four race has any legs.
Jose says unfair for Troy to be expected to fill Harry’s boots. True and fair.
But being on the bench and having 20mins here and there is not filling Harry’s boots! So I’ve been a bit disappointed that he’s not had a look. Surely has to be in the 18 Wednesday!! I’d like to see him start....
I don’t either, unless we can put 2 consecutive performances together - but it’s also not done....
Send Troy out there. If he can't get a few with this kind of service, then he's pish anyway
I think we will finish 6th or 7th and this summer will be a blast with the excuses of no CL money spending will be reduced further, so good luck to Jose trying to compete for top four next year unfortunately the club has got itself in the shit.
I would have put money on Levy ensuring Mourinho was provided with a striker of some quality.
It's an insult to Mourinho, an insult to fans and regardless of there being a lack of top notch quality, another reason to give credence to question Levy and Enic.
From the moment and even before Kane got injured in 2018 against City I have bemoaned the lack of a good second option (Llorente was okay but.....)
And now 21 months on no Kane again. And no physical option whatsoever or height in our attack. It is an absolute disgrace.

I love your optimism but that will not happen, there is no previous evidence for that to happen under these parasites
Harry Kane would not have had the opportunity to develop into the player he has become if it wasn't for first team football. I would like to see Troy P get more game time and I don't expect him to be an instant replacement for Kane but, if he's ever going to be of use to us, he's got to learn how to play alongside Son, Moura, Alli and co and I would rather give a young player a chance than play an established player out of position.
Personally, I think this has been an appalling window for us. Not only have we failed to find replacements but lost an attacking midfielder and a left-back into the bargain. Yes, we've gained a promising winger but that's not exactly a position we were lacking in. Whenever the media talks about us resigning Gareth Bale, you can be sure that neither Levy, the coach or whatever Director of Football they've appointed have a clue about who to sign.
GLC, really?
It's just common sense to pay for him now rather than the summer.
We did panic but there wasn't 30 million available to pay for anyone. Chasing after Giroud on the last day really says everything.
Whilst I agree with what you are saying. Getting rid of Rose and Eriksen will have some benefit. GLC and Ndombele can now step up without his shadow lurking.
Its also better to wait 5 months and get better players than piss our money up the wall on crap.
Son can do a job up top now we have Bergwijn to play on the left.
We are just gong to have to make do and hope for a top 6. A great summer. The a real go at winning the wafa cup and regaining our CL place.
Yes all we can do is wait
What way does José play exactly? Do you think if he went to City he wouldn’t play Aguero because he is small and doesn’t hold up the ball well. Son is actually quite tall and is strong on the ball - we have Bergwin so we are sacrificing the pace on the wings by moving him centre.
