Do we need to buy a striker if we haven't even seen him play?
I've said it before, but he would have scored against Liverpool if Liverpool hadn't scored against Liverpool first. He was in the right place at the right time.

The last post before these 2 being in May tells you plenty about the chances of seeing Veliz do much next season
Weirdly, reading that reminded me of trying to play hop-scotch when I was about 9 years old (the girls made it look a lot easier than it was).
However, I did scan back, but I'm still unsure what you're saying. Are you saying he's shit and won't play?
I'm saying he's not going to play.
Too early to say he's shit
If we can't at least look to integrate one of our young STs next season considering Europe League is the perfect platform to do so; I'll be very disappointed in Ange.
We will have 6 forwards to integrate already. Why do we need to do anything other than play the players that deserve to play?
The young forwards need to play and build a body of work to prove they deserve to play.
Eh? Son, Kulu, BJ, Rich (and Werner) are already integrated........
.......And this has nothing to do with wingers.
We're talking about back-up STs which in theory would put one of the young'ns 2nd or 3rd choice (depending on how much time Sonny spends at LW next season).
I'm talking about opportunity (whoever the 2nd or 3rd choice ST may be lined up to be)........ No-one's saying play (eg) AV indefinitely even if he's playing like shit.
we are signing another forward tho and between the 6, there will be 3 spots to earn
AV, DS both need loans to show they can score goals at a level close to this. Maybe there is a case for Parrot getting some EL minutes but is that even what he needs?
It just seems like a wild statement to come out firing saying that if AV or DS don't get integrated you will be disappointed in Ange.
I'll factor that into my thinking if and when that happens.
You're misquoting me........
This was your words mate:
This is what I said:
Not sure where I have misquoted you unless you meant different young STs?
Read again......
I spoke of intent to integrate; you spoke of outcomes..... (I still don't know why you brought our wingers into the convo either.)
If (hypothetically) whoever the player is blows their chances then that's on them; but I'll be pissed Ange doesn't try.
You're hilarious mate.
So you will only be disappointed if he doesn't have the intent to integrate one of the young strikers.
So if they go out on loan to get experience, then he didn't have any intent to integrate them?
Whatever.
He needs to play somewhere. We've got to stop having young players on the books that just train at Spurs or go out on loans and don't get an opportunity. We don't have a lot invested in him, but if he doesn't play 40+ matches over the next 2 seasons we'll never know if we should invest more or cut him loose.
S'what I'm saying

I think this boy will surprise many fans (in a good way).
Probably a good move if he can play there regularly, will be interesting to see how he will do in La Liga.
