Sturridge before the injury was unplayable, and to answer your question yeah if it meant that we get top 4 I’d spend fairly big on a striker. I don’t think people realise how devestating it would be for the club to miss top 4

Better than him being a speed merchant and doing his hamstring over and over again!
We'll be fine.
Yep, we have the players although I admit I do feel apprehensive over this injury than any of his previous purely because Son is in Asia. Another worry, of course, would be further injuries and how we cover those, but let's cross that as and when it happens I suppose.
We have Lamela, Dele, Eriksen, Lucas and Llorente who with the exception of Lucas are proven (I've included Llorente based on his history away from Spurs, he hasn't proven his quality at Spurs IMO).
Poch is great at solving solutions, he's got to work his magic again.
I hate life.
Shit.
Well, we're boned!
Maybe not but....well, Poch is going to work a miracle keeping us in the Top 4 this season let alone adding a trophy.
Even if we beat Chavs in the semi Harry will miss the final against Citeh.
Fuck.

Forget Kane.
He can't play for a while
Deserves his rest.
Maybe his manager, whoever that is will manage in future and rest him when they see fit. Which means more often.
Still remember Pochettino bringing on against Tranmere. Pathetic.
Not one other top manager would have done that.

Sounds like Homer Simpson when he walks off to sulk...
Gutted, but also remembering how well we played last year when Kane was out. Missing Son for a bit makes the near-term pain more acute, but the solution IMO is not the open market, nor is it Llorente for major minutes. It is more three at the back to allow Tripps/KWP/Rose to work even more aggressively up the flanks, more false 9 with Dele or Lamela stepping up, and holding it together up front until Son gets back.
This hurts. But we will be OK.

Going 3 at the back will be the way forward.
Adds a bit defensive steel to our game, allows us to push our wing backs up where they excel and also gives us the ability to push Dele or Lamela up top.

Not necessarily.
Strurridge is a catalogue of injuries.
Take away Suarez and Sterling you won't see similar form in his past.
Harry will be fit enough to be on the bench when we beat the chavs at the bridge..... ring any bells ? 
He will charge you for the privilege
I do realise the numbers it will be about £50-£70m that we lose if we don't qualify. In other words that will get us Morata who's scored 5 PL goals this season! It's arguably the hardest position for any club to find even under 'normal' circumstances but when you knock on another teams door and say I want to buy "x" please you will get absolutely rinsed a) you are panic buying b) you have to assume the lad we want is er good, so why the fuck would that club sell a good striker halfway through their season? Unless they get x5 or whatever the value of the player.
Ain't gonna happen.
(Sturridge was a massive gamble, he barely played for Chelsea because of injury and he wasn't rated that highly)
So you wouldn’t take 13/14 Sturridge right now if offered? Anyway my point isn’t about Sturridge, it’s that there are always options out there in January that can fit in and make an impact. It really depends on our scouting department and Levy though, look at Chelsea they are getting Parades and Higuain in January
Who else? Tried Dele last season didn't work. Lamela or Moura not up for it. Eriksen can't do it.
Or we don't need a strike like chelsea but don't have a hazard or a kante.
I forgot .... Levy will buy a striker at 11pm, 31st Jan.
