Joe Hart up front?Provided he’s got a loud voice for if he screams for a decision like wife beater Carroll did yesterday
Giroud might be a possibilty but Chelsea would likely screw us over at the last minute so very risky. Can't see the other 2. The signal that sends out after a 15 month search scouring the globe only to end up with a non scoring lump from down the road isn't great.I can’t help feeling that as the closing of the transfer window approaches, it’s depressingly likely either Deeney or Benteke will arrive at Spurs.
Giroud is probably third choice striker at Chelsea currently, he would be a much better option surely.
Yeah.He's becoming an allrounder. Almost Bergkamp like, where he'll drop into the number 10 and start dictating play.
You'd think there's strikers out there with the ambition to be as good as or better than KaneTo be honest the Kane back up argument can be fixed if we just say that Kane can play as a withdrawn forward.
At times yesterday he was picking the ball up from our defence.
United have like no wingers but they have 3 top class strikers in Martial, Rashford & Greenwood. All worse than Son & Kane mind you, but still. They have similar issues to us though, their first choice RW and LW is simultaneously their first back up at striker.Funny thing about Milik's allegedly being interested in a move to Utd. but not wanting to play back-up here...... 1. It negates the oft made claim that unlike is Utd have proper ST depth and 2. suggests that he sees an easier path to being their #1.

Ighalo has flopped badly for them anyway.
This been confirmed?With son being out indefinitely we need to bring a striker in ASAP.
Ighalo is the warning that its pointless just adding a body for the sake of it as they will never play bar the odd cup game against terrible opposition. It has to be a viable alternative.United have like no wingers but they have 3 top class strikers in Martial, Rashford & Greenwood. All worse than Son & Kane mind you, but still.

Jose confirmed after the game that he picked up a hamstring injury and that is why he was subbed off at half time.This been confirmed?
Ighalo scores when he plays. That's a terrible example.Ighalo is the warning that its pointless just adding a body for the sake of it as they will never play bar the odd cup game against terrible opposition. It has to be a viable alternative.
Fabulous.Jose confirmed after the game that he picked up a hamstring injury and that is why he was subbed off at half time.

Not anymore. He's useless nowadays. Even Ole doesn't believe in him anymore. 0 PL goals in 12 apps.Ighalo scores when he plays. That's a terrible example.
Bale is expected back after the international break. Just gotta get through this week.Fabulous.
Just when he was in form.
Bale better sort his shit out and get fit.
He scored 5 goals in 20 against the likes of Derby and LASK etc. Ok its not terrible but the point remains. You sometimes will need to rest Kane in the odd league game and you can't do that with someone pony.Ighalo scores when he plays. That's a terrible example.
We could do much worse than Mitrovic.Bale is expected back after the international break. Just gotta get through this week.
On Son's position I am rather calm. We have Bale, Steven (who looks low on confidence but a run of games could solve that) and Sessegnon (assuming he doesn't go on loan).
We need a striker in to rotate/back up Harry this week. Has to be a key target for us.
He has 5 goals in 8 games when he starts. Those 11 sub appearances were just that...sub appearances for the final minutes of games. What exactly do you expect him to do?Not anymore. He's useless nowadays. Even Ole doesn't believe in him anymore. 0 PL goals in 12 apps.
No links between us and him tho. And as long as Fulham are in the PL he seems happy to stay there.We could do much worse than Mitrovic.
Levy can literally fuck off and take ENIC with him if he even contemplates this. I would rather recall Parrot than buy that useless donkey Benteke. Can’t believe what a shambles this is. Spend 2 years to get in a decent back up striker, then wait for Son to get injured only to go in for Benteke. What a joke.
