This is the problem we will have. Any striker knows he is going to be a bench warmer for probably the best CF in world football at present.
There isn’t even much scope for “competition” for places with Harry. While he keeps banging them in, he will play. So any ambitious player will look at Spurs & think “fuck that” because the only hope of game time is through injury or suspension. Fighting for a starting spot against Kane is nigh on impossible. He is just that good that he won’t be left on the bench. Christ, he even started against Newport.
We are therefore likely to be left with players like Llorente who don’t mind picking up a pay cheque for a couple of hours exercise a day.

Poch has played Llorente with Kane but it has not worked. However if another so called back up did work then he would get more game time. Do not ask me who will be dropped as Eriksen etc play too much and it is when they do not play like Newport that we have the problem. Conte said he needs 3 strikers and so do we although we Poch counts Son as 1 of them, but they all need to be able to get goals when they play and Llorente has failed in that respect.
 
Christian's Eriksen said:
We tried to sign him a few years back. He visited the training ground, stadium and met with Levy. Then it all turned weird apparently and he said he’d never sign for us.

Ahh just googled it "Andre Villas Boas was the Tottenham manager at the time Aubameyang was snubbed" say no more..........

'If Spurs ever came back in me for me, I'd say no.'
 
So people want Llorente gone & Batshuayi in while the very same people said he's shit while he played for Chelsea, or Rodriguez who's actually a Sturridge v2. Mmkay.

Anyway BBC reported that Batshuayi rejected a move to Spurs. But you still want him in because Llorente is shit and because he laughed with a couple of Woolwich players at the end of the game. :wall:

No llorente isn't shit because he laughed with a couple woolwich players, he's shit because he has 1 attribute and the way we play doesn't facilitate it. Batshuayi isn't shit he has 7 goals this season, which is good for a player who hardly features and is 8 years younger than Llorente so has a lot more room for growth.
