So unless Chelski somehow decide to let Giroud leave that's us done it seems.

Are you new to being Spurs, my friend?
I doubt Jose will play Dele as a sole striker, it will likely be Son with Berg and Lucas next to him in a 4-3-3. Dele won't start unless we have alot of midfield industries and he drops back or just behind the striker in a 4-2-3-1.
In any case, this thread should be a barrel of laughs today.

Our remaining home games are mostly against top 7 teams and we're rubbish away. We'll do well to reach 55 points in all honesty.
Sky reporter just interviewed Mourinho but was too pussy to directly ask him if we are still in the market for a player.
It's a fair point, but José's already said he's not ready hasn't he? I don't think he's going to get much, if any game time this season.
I'd sooner see us get someone on a short-term deal/ loan for now; let Parrott go back to playing with the U23's etc. and ease him into the squad next season, or send him out somewhere on loan to get some serious minutes under his belt.
José has also made it clear that Troy has been given a personalized training program so that he can become "ready". And has actually praised him a fair bit.
That's that.
I'd like to know what happened to Willian Jose. Only €10m apart (allegedly) at one point. I figured that would get over the line even if it was a loan with obligation to buy for like €18m (£15m). It wouldn't be a great signing but he'd be a perfectly cromulent striker to rotate with Kane.
I can understand not wanting to fork over €27m for Piatek.

Yep, the first bit is that they're working to finalise the exit of another player
Going into the second half of the season, latter stages of the Champions League and an FA Cup run with no recognised striker is inexcusable.
I understand we might have targets we would rather sign in the summer, but we’ve gone years in this situation.
We’ve resulted in chasing Chelsea’s third choice striker to make him our first and only choice striker.

That's why I caveated with the readiness line.
I think Jose is wrong to find a stop gap like Benteke, Giroud, Balotelli etc. just to let them go in the summer when we can expose Pazza.
Even if he doesn't do well, he's 17. He can return to the 23's next season with a fresh perspective of what elite level play is.
Don't waste your day
I only trust the manager when he says things that I agree with. So Levy made him say that.
So basically "Once we are done with one final bit then there's no more business" then?
Gedson is no risk and Bergwjin is a good signing. Not signing a striker is going to force Jose to adapt his attacking style, though. I would except Ndombele/Lo Celso/Winks/Gedson to bear the brunt of the burden now in terms of advancing the ball and creativity. Long balls are just dead balls now.
Or, since Troy isn't going out on loan because of fucked up homegrown rules (thanks PL and UEFA!), maybe he uses him a bit up top as well.

not really mate. Would be a good window if we signed a striker we desperately needed. Would be a great window if we signed a right back and defensive midfielder. We have signed a bunch of players in positions we don’t really need. We have no striker now for the whole of the season, utter shambles
