Thank youI never though the 'we should buy Shane Long' shouts would get worse but you've nailed it

Honestly I’d rather have Janssen.At least he got stuck in rustled a few feathers and things happened off back of that.But finding a deputy to Kane is proving to be a bit of a nightmare.Someone in prime of career is never gonna sit on bench.So it’s either young up and coming or older at tail end.
Main criticism of Janssen was his lack of goals not his link up play. I don’t think Llorente has even had a shot for us yet.
(a) He has had a poor pre-season and limited game time so far.
(b) He has played much better than all your knee-jerk reactions suggest.
(c) To get the best out of him, we need to play a different style - which, aside from Madrid away, we haven't yet done.
(d) Name another centre forward who we should have bought instead, who was actually a realistic target.
I'm confident we'll be targeting Zaha again in January. There's an argument that we should have bitten the bullet then.
Indeed, would have been nice to have Zaha (and Llorente) this summer. Not sure how much Zaha would have cost though? I have some doubts over Zaha, but if we can get him at a decent price then I'm sure Pochettino could improve him - he has the raw talent.

ITKs said otherwise during the TW, apparently the Zaha ship has sailed.I'm confident we'll be targeting Zaha again in January. There's an argument that we should have bitten the bullet then.
..From the Rose thread...What did Lorente do ?
He was excellent against Madrid, I think there is a clever player in there. He's not a lone striker for me, he is very unselfish and looks for runners and lay offs. I don't really expect him to score double figures in a season for us to be honest
