We know the score, we are not spending lots of cash. £10-15m for a proven home grown striker who can cover Kane is a no-brainer. I’d rather we be doing some of what Chelsea are and bring in the likes of Werner but this is where we are as a club.

Wilson doesn't really make any sense though, unless it's genuinely just to lump him on the bench until Kane gets his inevitable January injury.
We should be looking for someone that can play alongside Harry in a two.
I don't think we'd have to pay Werner money for that. If everything has gone tits up with Covid, let's offer to take Jovic on loan and see what happens. Surely more ambitious than picking over the carcass of a relegated team.
100% agree. Just not Wilson.
You would rather sign King? Might also be in our price range.
We are not gonna pay more than £12-15m for a back-up striker.

Yes, Levy. Think of the savings!
We definitely need to say goodbye to a few!
but the point he's making is why see it as just as a back up for Kane, purchase someone that can play alongside Kane and deserves a place on the team sheet regardless. That way its an investment and not considered as money wasted for a backstop. It doesn't have to be an established international, where's the next young Suarez, heaven only knows what are scouts are doing. I assume we have some.
Then we need to pay serious money for a striker, which is never gonna happen this window.. At most they are looking for a relatively cheap back-up.
Cavani...
Isnt that the guy who demands £12m a year?
Bullet dodged. Woolwich jumped on the grenade for us.
Kristeva
beat me to the punch. To be honest, Brooks is the one I’d take from Bournemouth. King is more versatile, but again, I think we’ve got into this mindset where we’re only allowed to play Kane until his annual injury.Maybe it’s because I’ve been reading my Joy of Sex manual and transported back to the early 1980s, but I’ve been taken by the idea of 4/4/2 with a pair of strikers that compliment one another.
Match made in heaven. Pair of cunts.
Fine with that, he was a good player but is 32 and his game was based on energy which is going as evident by his performances this season. It’s a bit like buying Vertonghen now rather then when he was in his 20’s.
I can't begin to describe how excited I am to be linked to half of relegated Watford's team.
Proper next-level stuff

Willian is still a solid player even at his current age. I’m afraid that we will regret letting Woolwich pick him up.
Its all about the marquee signings.
This window is almost as bad as one in 2015 when we bought a Burnley right back, a league 1 MK Dons midfielder and a defender on loan at mid table Southampton.
Proper next level stuff.
Yeah people are just coping. He was great last year actually. Good signing for them but we have many strong wingers already and don't need him - and he is a huge cunt.
He will still be good for 1-2 yrs.
Liverpool getting Tsimikas now too apparently. Great signing imo, 11-13m and very dynamic, offensive full bakc.
Not if the scouts are doing their job properly you don't. Like I said int he rest of my post you don't have to buy an established international, you just need a bit of imagination and a good scouting system
