I want another forward in as well but this guy is not suitable. He won't work from the front like Harry does, he'll stand in the box waiting for crosses ffs. He'll expect the whole game plan to be geared towards him like it was at QPR.
Please have a think about this and stop spouting his goal ratio - there's more to it than that. Think about the right pieces for Poch's jigsaw not this chunky Burger king advert.
Some of you need to have a word with yourselves.
Larry if you had your way we'd have an 88 man squad.
If Embolo settled well in England, got up to speed with the Prem in a few years he might be capable of scoring 19 goals in the Prem. Austin already has and would cost less than half the price.

No-one is saying sign Crouch or go back to 442 so I'm not sure where that's coming from. It's the January window where we often falter and we're in a great position but have ONE striker. Njie is injured and Son isn't an out and out striker. Austin is far from the top of my list but he's a pretty good player and we could do a lot worse. We are in 3 competitions and we have a great chance to finish in the top 4 and with United and Chelsea going to want a big response next season it could be our best chance we get in the next 5 years. We're not going to sign Embolo or whoever it is you want and anyone who thinks we can continue with just Kane is deluded. He's already showing signs of fatigue. I absolutely love Poch's philosophy but signing one player who doesn't chase every single ball really isn't going to hurt, especially how he's not going to he first choice. There aren't many players that we're realistically going to sign this window that'd be better than Austin and we can't go on without signing a strikerThe pro Austin comments in this thread make me think I'm living on another planet. A planet in which Poch never happened and we're still coached by Harry Redknapp: "He's a poacher isn't he? We could do much worse than Charlie Austin! Yeah he's a gamble with his injury record, but he offers something different! the fox in the box we've been missing. Course we'd revert to 442, get a couple of wingers in, none of this newfangled hipster nonsense. Can't expect him to run around much either, but that's not what we want is it? Might get Crouch back too. Perfect foil for a sweet little player like Austin. And he's English! Can't forget he's English!!!"
Poch is playing with fire. If Kane is injured or burns out you can kiss top 4 toodledoo! I wish the club would stop fricking about and sign a bloody back up to Kane! Even bloody Charlie Austin FFS. I am not his biggest fan but do something THFC!
