This.
It would give us a better chance than having 2 and a half strikers.
Forgot about Kone, the rest I'd bracket with we have Nacer Chadli, shown he can do a job there in other leagues but aren't getting anywhere near a number 9 slot in the premiership.
I like Rodriguez but one good year doesn't make him premier league proven, especially when it ended with an ACL tear.
And yet you can't see the difference, being THREE injuries away from disaster and only ONE injury are not quite the same.
You agreed with a post that said we need to drop Ade for Soldado...
Is it Ade you are worried about getting injured....or Soldado? And you dont rate Kane whatsoever?
What about the new idea of the three behind the striker? You think there is no goals in that system. I think all three will start scoring...Chadli already has.
No I wouldn't bother, wouldn't get a game so would just be another player picking up a wage without contributing.
Chadli or Lamela are totally fine as 4th choice strikers. If we're getting a forward it should be an upgrade on Ade or Soldado.
We sign a striker. We moan about our defence. We buy defenders. We moan about the strikers.
I'm going to go back to the 'Off Topic' section and look at boobs

Seriously? He was like a rabbit in the headlights the first few times he got first team action. He's definitely a lot better now I think. Whether he can go further or is good enough is still out to decide though.
I think the movements in the transfer window were evidence enough that Poch is reasonably happy with the strike force and so addressed the leaking defence more urgently. Come January Poch will hopefully continue to build the team he wants and address any issues, such as the Strikers, should he feel it necessary.
Too much change in one go can quite often prove no good. All the midfield we brought in, initially didn't gel as expected for example

Harry Kane has shown great progress over the last 6-12 months, if you can't see that you're blind as a bat. If you're not going to give your academy players a chance when they've shown the type of progress Kane has then what's the point of having it?
Just this season he's already set up the winner against wet spam and scored the winner against ael away(lovely finish) plus just the other day he stuck a late winner away for England u-21s away in lithuania. Couple that with his end of season form last year and it's clear to see the bloke has made massive strides on the pitch. TBH you're just coming across abit desperate to have a wee whine. The only match Kane hasn't played in this season we got tanked.
We moan about Schniederlin for 8 weeks, then totally stop talking about him and ONLY moan about a striker.......who we didnt moan about until transfer deadline day.....when welbeck was linked......even though he´s shit.......its still a disaster we didnt get him.......

Human psychology Sammy. At it's most basic, 'people always want what they can't have.' You can apply it anything, a girl, a new car, etc. I borrowed this:-
"WHEN YOU DON’T GET WHAT YOU WANT, YOU WANT IT EVEN MORE.
Here are three reasons why this is so:
1. Heightened attention: When something is hard to get (or forbidden) you immediately pay more attention to it. Notice that when you are on a restricted diet, you sometimes get too focused on what you “can’t” eat. This heightened attention -- which can escalate into obsession -- makes the forbidden food seem very important. Your inner brat takes advantage of this, and tries to convince you that you MUST have that chocolate or pizza.
2. Perceived scarcity: When something is scarce or in short supply, its perceived value increases. You want it more because you think other people also want it. If you’ve ever bid at auctions or on eBay, you know the experience of that last-minute excitement as you watch the bids spiral upward. The more people who bid, the more you’re willing to pay for the item. Your inner brat wants it at any price.
3. “Psychological Reactance”: People don’t like to be told they can’t have or can’t do something. It’s related to not wanting to be controlled by others, especially if the situation feels unfair or arbitrary. The “reactance” is both emotional and behavioral.
The emotional part is your inner brat saying, “Oh yeah? I can’t have what I want? Just try and stop me!"
The Schneiderlin situation sums up the inner brat perfectly to me. All the lemmings running around like the world was going to end if we didn't sign him when.................he wasn't even for sale.
no we got tanked by liverpoo because they're far more stable and a better run football club than us at present with a philosophy that's been in place for going on 3 seasons now
mate you're opinion in this thread is ridiculous and makes you look like a spoilt man child
we've got 3 first team number 9s on our books but you want one more
anyway to each his own, this little discussion has run its course
Yeah but if all 3 goalkeepers were, say, delivering a letter at the same time and then got caught up in one post office fire they'd all be unable to play.
