After Haaland went, there were no available striker in the winter window that's better than Parrott.
Just about Mourinho being brave enough.

Ive just checked and Anichebe is available on a free...


Looking at the same list, i thought about him as well. But it's close to three years since he's played, pretty much a retired player.

Worst thing is top 4 had become a realistic possibility ( although still unlikely imo) even without Kane.

We have a lot of tough, crucial games though in the next 6 weeks ( Chelsea, Sheff Utd away, Wolves, Man Utd and Everton at home).

The timing really couldn’t be worse.

As much as loved Poch (for most part) I feel more confident that we can deal with situations like this with Jose in charge.

Not a fan of pinning our hopes on a 17 year old, don't think Parrott is ready to play up front and carry the burden mentally anyway.

The silver lining is that Jose may actually have to play a stronger midfield and not play 4 wingers/forwards (who don't pass to each other).

That's always how you have to look at these injuries, does it force an issue which might benefit us in the long run. Look at what the injuries to Sissoko and Kane did, we managed to get Lo Celso given a run to prove himself, managed to get Winks to show he can adapt. It sucks that the players might burn out due to lack of rotation but let's hope this forces the issue in a positive way and I'm hoping we put an extra midfielder in for Dele and try the false 9 with him which might end up working better for us.

Agree completely, maybe a cup start vs Norwich and in the conversation for rotation but that'd be the extent of it for me atm.
