They can while their only opposition is managed by a total twat who seems as if he's trying to lose the league.

Antonio and Yarmolenko as strikers suited their former manager his style of play, Jose has only on CF available(injured) that is suited for his tactics.
As I said earlier, I was using the language of the original poster who was trotting out the "no strikers are available and if they are they're too old" line.
Still, anyone who thinks that going into the second half of the season with no strikers is the way forward is welcome to try and defend that position.
Well there aren't that many available, and even just in the PL - Spurs, Utd, Chelsea and Villa need a striker.
Man Utd only have Rashford as a senior striker- unless you count wide forward Martial (he's more like Son/Lucas imo) l. Hence why they use the likes of Greenwood from the youth ranks.
Not a good model, but pretty common.
So "suited to the their former manager his style of play" that he got sacked.
They aren't strikers, never have been.

Son plays as a striker for S Korea and is better than anyone we have been linked to in that position. If Jose is able to get plan that doesn't involve lumping it forwards he is our best option.
Get a decent striker and its a different story, but I don't see us getting a decent striker if we do bring one in January.
Might not be as crazy as it seems.
I know it's easy to speculate but couldn't we get him on loan or something? We'd pay his wages yes, but that would be like what, 8m per year? Much cheaper than paying 30m for Piatek + his wage. Even if we paid let's say 10m loan fee that'd still be less than what we'd pay for any striker we're linked with.
Not sure he's got the pace for the prem anymore.
and people who cant read
Then what in the summer? When Cavani is 34 and we need to replace him? We've paid £10m+ on a player we need to replace again.
He's a good player but financially it doesn't make sense. I agree it'd cost more if we missed out on UCL football, but we need a striker that is good for now and the future.
I still think it's likelier we'll go for a short term fix now and then try to find a better option in the summer. This also means we're not likely to spend too much on a striker now.
I'm sure Southampton and Norwich will want to cash in on the players that can help them avoid relegation this season.
I think Ings is worth too much to the Saints for them to let him go.
His goals are pretty much ensuring them premier league football next year.
Hi Florentino,
When are you gonna pay the 20m you still owe us for Gareth?
Yours
Daniel
