Luka Jovic might be worth a punt. It's not happened for him over the last year or two since his big money move but is clearly a very good striker. Just needs to find the right club and some confidence.
I wouldn't go near him with a barge pole, we should not be signing players who have already flopped at better clubs. We need hungry players without baggage.
I don't think we should feel like we're in a position where we can say no to any player who's gone to a club and it not worked out for whatever reason myself.
When we are replacing Kane we absolutely have to. We cannot gamble on a flop from another team to replace the best striker in the world.
It's not like Jovic has just been disappointing, he has been a mega-flop. Totally crumbled under the expectations at Real and stepping into Kane's shoes will be just as tough.
Jimmy Greaves would struggle to get into double figures with a midfield platform of Winks, Sissoko and PEH - shitcunts. If the kid can’t score goals at Real, he’s got no chance herearriving at Real Madrid and Spurs are two very different things. Im not saying Jovic is the answer but I’m sure he wouldn’t crumble under the pressure of playing for Spurs at the present moment.
Does Dele have the pace of Henry?What we need is depth as far as strikers goes. If we had the following depth at the front, we would certainly be a feared force at home and away.
4.) Dele Alli - Deploy his as an advanced forward (The same way Woolwich changed Henry)
Henry Kissinger maybe
We have said that about every great player the club has had. Unless he is going to live forever obviously he has to be replaced at some point.
Shame Woolwich didn't have the same way of thinking when Henry was flopping at JuveI wouldn't go near him with a barge pole, we should not be signing players who have already flopped at better clubs. We need hungry players without baggage.

Of course, Spurs cannot replace Kane should he leave (and I understand if he does want to leave - but that another discussion).
I see these players as realistic targets
Dusan Vlahovic
Luka Jovic (he's got talent but not sure how much of a "bump" his stint at Real Madrid have had)
Donyell Malen
Myron Badou
Jonathan David
Aleksander Isak ( I know he just extended his contract with Real Sociedad)
Kasper Dolberg (no, not because of the Euros)
