Do we have one striker, of four? Im not sure. Everyone says one, but I count four. It will be a faliure if dont sign a defensive mid. But who is there to sign?

Four, I would say one striker we have Kane, we ain't using Ade or Coulthirst.

Chadli, Son and Clinton are wide forwards/wingers who could play the emergency striker role I guess but not ideal.
 
Are those names straight outta FM? :adelol:
Don't play it. Rainieri wanted to sign Nampalys Mendy for Leicester as he rated him very highly when he was at Monaco.
Plays for Nice now. 23yrs. Very small but Only seen Mendy play once and he had lots of energy and tenacity. Seems like a Poch player.
Fofana for Lyon 24 yrs old. Not a bad defensive mid. I liked what I saw but have only seen a little more of him. 2 games. Gets forward and has a bit of pace and has a good shot.
Probably both in about £10 -12m range.
 
Right. I know nothing of Njie, but heard he was a striker. Son definitely plays upfront for Korea. And im sure Ades a striker. Im more confused thsn before, somewhere between 1 and 4. Still think we need a def mid
Nudge is more of an attacking mid and he played on the left. Very raw. Kind of like Townsend with a bit more skill and goalscoring ability. Sometimes a bit greedy and doesn't see the pass. However he has a lot of talent and I think that's what we got him for as he he can be coached and improve significantly. However, he's not an out and out striker.
 
Joe Clash Joe Clash . Hey guv got another one of those cockney weirdos following us

Whilst he isn't being played there, Trippier IMO is superior in every way to Walker and should be in the team. Alderweireld is a first choice pick in defence and better than any of our options apart from Jan.

Agree that our main priorities haven't been addressed though.

Alderweireld was a great signing.

I've never seen Trippier play (aside from pre-season), so tbh all this "Trippier is better" talk just seems trendy to me. Walker is a huge talent that's been crippled by injuries in the past but is currently playing pretty well.
 
Whether the other players besides Kane are strikers or not; they are not central strikers/forwards, and this is where we need a backup/alternative to Harry.

The likes of Chadli, Son and Clinton can all play as strikers, but I think it's fair to say that they are not specialists..
 
Right. Modern football. I dont really get it. Son definitely plays upfront for Korea. Is he a striker playing as a winger, or a winger playing as a striker? Either way I think we need a defensive mid

Think he's more of an outside forward. Seems like that's how he played in the Bundesliga, at least -- and I'm more inclined to believe club positioning over country, as more often than not country is literally just determined by talent more than whether or not someone actually fits the position they plan in. Cahill always played striker for Australia, but iirc he was always more of an AM/CM in the league?

It kills me when people say that. Given that service to Kane has been an issue it might not be a bad idea to play Trippier right now, but that doesn't mean that he's better than Walker. So many people fail to understand that certain people do better in certain systems. Right now Walker isn't doing remarkably well in this system, but there's no way I'll concede that Trippier is a better all around player.
 
2 hours to sell Lamlea to a Seria a side and 3 hours to sell him to Marseille.
Lennon, Fazio, Adebayor 21 hrs.
Really can't see anything happening unless we shift 2 of those. Fuck me we're £10m in the positive!
