Trying isn't good enough I'm afraid.
THIS, we’ve had the whole month to ‘try’ & solve our #1 squad crisis ...

Like?They ain’t good enough. Loads of veterans we can sign if that’s all our aim is.
I assume we shouldn't be trying then...

That’s a fair argument. And it’s opened my (ego) opinion somewhat ??We’ve also signed Sessegnon, Clarke, Lo Celso, Ndombele, Gedson and Bergwijn in the last 6 months, demonstrating serious investment in the squad for both the immediate and longer term, which sort of takes the edge off a bit.
If we have to sign a bit of a “veteran” as a stop-gap in a position we’re in dire need of, but won’t be when Kane is back - what’s the problem, really?
I like the plural.
He also says: “selling clubs want crazy money for back up strikers - I mean crazy money.“
So I can understand why we are struggling. Don’t want to pay out big bucks for players that might not be that good. Guess that’s what happens when you try and wing it in the last days of the window.
But there has to be a cut off point - akin to nhs and drug-cost versus patient outcome. (Ok, analogy Is somewhat ‘heavier’ but the same logic applies)Trying isn't good enough I'm afraid.
IF you believe the rags, Chelsea have offered £5m for Mertens. Dude is worth WAY more than that. Surely we'd be willing to pay more than that.Like?
Possibly. Or he may not be ready.Mind games on the lad?
Just saying we need to be aiming higher than balotelli and giroud neither are good enough for us in my opinion and we shouldn’t just be looking for a stop gap until kane is back. We need someone so when kane is fit we can rest him and not keep running him into the ground. I wouldn’t be looking at past it veteransLike?
Brilliant update. Clear. Succinct. Believable.dragon1: this was player i refered to earlier today (balotelli) jose had him at inter and thinks he is crackers though but club are open and brescia are skint
we have 4 options now, giroud, balotelli , lloriente and one orther who looks united bound now
honestly it probably depends what mood jose wakes up in tomorrow and whether he wants any of them on loan
none of the top tier strikers are available this window and jose does not want players for sake of it
he also says @Hercules info is good
