Another striking target gone!

People can apologise for Levyball they want but 1 way or another this club has failed again to sign a striker.

The time for chasing top category strikers is gone. We get played every time. When it comes to the big players, whoever does the negotiation fo Spurs lacks the savvy!

Time to gamble on a Bony, Doumbia or that kind of striker now.

What's the odds on us reaching deadlie day without a striker again?

It strikes me we may have heard he was available for around 5 million Euros and thought that was good business but when we spoke to Barca the fee had suddenly doubled purely because we were PL. I think I would try to haggle that back down a bit? Then the offer comes in from Atletico and it was probably a no-brainer for the player for all those reasons mentioned above. I think our list is down to Benteke and Soldado now with Leandro seemingly on the way to Napoli.

The Barca statement does only say agreement in principle has been reached. Initial fee €2.1m!!

Still time, maybe. Where's my straw...

so where do we turn now? - Benteke too expensive or off to Chavs, Leandro off to Napoli .... Soldado?

Folks cheer up, imagine how boring this place would have been with a striker search over in early July. We now can talk about some more strikers we've never heard of, YouTube them for fun and then get excited all over again. Every cloud...

Can anyone else see us spending more than 17 million on a top striker? Was paulinho a priority with dembele and sandro coming back?


Do you know when Sandro will be back?
Can you guarantee Dembele's hip will remain injury free?

If you can't answer either question, then yes, Paulinho is exactly what we need..

I got some life size Daniel Levy voodoo dolls for sale, all proceeds to SC.

*Wonders if anyone will notice if I send them an action man

I can see us doing that. If we can spend 20m on 2 17yr olds (pls make it happen) we can spend 17m on a striker. And AVB and Bale won't be happy without new striker/s. And fans.

Doubt it mate. I'll eat my hat if we spend more than 17 million on a striker.

You really think anything other than the Croatian kids is going on ATM?


To be honest, I wonder if that's as far advanced as it's made out

Really disappointed by this, I thought he was an ideal player to have in a 4-3-3 and would have brought a lot of skill to our (at times) fairly one dimensional attack

Surely no one expects us to sign a top striker. We'll certainly try and fail to sign any number, but it would be strange to expect Levy's MO to suddenly change.
