Ange has to give Veliz, Scarlett and Parrott a look over in the summer as well as Soonsup-Bell and Lankshear who won't be pleased if we buy in a new striker.
If after pre-season Ange decides none of these has a chance at THFC maybe then we start looking for strikers.
I love to see somebody come up with an intelligent and witty reply. Keep trying you might get there one day. Perhaps your friends in the schoolyard can help out.I see white hart is an anagram of ‘smelly bald poo head’

I can’t see a 37 year old coping as an Ange Ball right back.
It's cheaper than buying a home these days
It was an interesting point made about Ito in how he fits the player style needed for the fullback position at the club. It hasn’t really been discussed but when you think about it, it does need a certain type of player profile that’s not just a bog standard fullback.
Have they forgotten we’ve just appointed the guy from Villa in exactly the same role?

Someone doesn't live in London and it shows
Veliz aleady scored against Brighton, Ange also gave him minutes in the first team earlier than expected. There are going to be times when Richie an Son aren't going to be available or games like Brighton where we're down and out. I don't see Richie leaving but like I say it doesn't stop Veliz getting minutes. It was just really unfortunate he got injured, he was so happy to get his first goal.
I think i agree with
MVP
on this one tbh. If Nusa is signed that would mean...Son, Richi, Kulu, Nusa, Johnson, Solomon, Veliz for 3 positions is more then enough. I think we only bring a striker in IF we decide to cash in on Richarlisons good form and recoup a large chunk of what we paid.
It's a balancing act, I think we're better off with Veliz getting mins and being on loan otherwise he won't improve that much.

That's without even mentioning Werner, who we may make permanent if he performs well.

We give him the minutes and just wait and see. Ange will give him further chances during preseason.
Parrott is the only one of those that is at the now or never stage. The others can all go out on loan next season and still improve their career prospects at or away from Spurs.
But how many minutes? He's young and at a critical time for playing and developing. The odd 15-30mins or a start in the Carabao isn't the best thing for the player.
If Richy left would you trust Veliz to be ready to step in as our full time starting #9? If not then he would develop better at his age by playing every week somewhere. This kid is possibly Argentina's future starting #9, he needs to develop.

You sign a striker if Richy moves on. only if he moves on. Unless you decide one of Scarlett/Veliz/Parrott/Soonsup-Bell/Lankshear is ready to be the first back up #9 to Son.
If Werner is made permanent then it gets even more complicated.
Just can't see a world where Veliz isn't on loan next season personally.
Not the same.
Sneaky suspicion that they aren't looking at Illing Jr as a forward but as an inverted FB.
The other different thing about the inverted FB role is that because they play inside and more like a box to box player, the side and strong foot isn't as important.
