Possibility?!? FML

No striker and we can kiss top 4 goodbye. End of story.

What's the plan, rely on Son who can't play with his back to goal and Richy who can't say fit more than 2 games at a time?? Kulu? Sarr? Parrott??

Get all the Doue's and Gray's you like, without a striker who can hold up the ball we're fucked. Really question Ange's squad building if this isn't a priority.

Yep, it’s bizarre. Lots of the window left so things can change but it’s like people have forgotten about last season and how for huge periods of it we struggled in the striker position and how much it effects the team.

We need a number 9 good in the air in both boxes (we don’t concede half those corners last season with Kane still in the team) and someone to take the ball and win free kicks high up the pitch late in games when we are inevitably under pressure. It’s because people have been indoctrinated into thinking about goal scoring wingers, number 10s and all the stupid fancy names they want to give them nowadays whilst forgetting what a typical number 9 gives a side.

The problem is the market for strikers is absolutely horrible at the moment. High prices with no guarantees that they do well. Omishen has about a 120 mil release clause in his contract and he only scored 15 goals last season. Could you imagine spurs spending that much money and only getting that many goals in return.

Probably better we spend 140 mil and bring Harry Kane back. Or send Bayern Richarliason, Hoiiberg, Lo Celso and 60 mil fir Kane. Actually that sounds like a pretty good deal.

15 goals in 25 appearances. Not sure if you’ve watched much of him but he is a quality player.

Not that we’d be dropping 120m on him mind! Or that he would come here

Kulusevski scored 2 in his only game as a striker, I'm sure he can jump in every now and then. But I agree, we need a striker. Preferably 2, one to replace Richarlison and one to fight for the starting position with the Richy replacement. I however think we can manage with a Richy replacement only and Deki, Son, Lanksher, Parrot, Scarlett as backups.

I would probably be happier with a high profile striker (Isak, Openda? Ferguson?) and nothing more than with two meh-strikers.
