Imagine believing that, but every good player we are linked with, not believing it possible
Who cares? Look at our stadium
The club and most posters are thick as sh!t.
We needed a striker and a bloody good one when Kane was fit.
It really is not rocket science but maybe to us it simply is.
For sure it is undoing us as much as the lack of a quality DM.

And for this reason I hope the proper target is identified and brought in to aid Kane. It's preferable to not be in a position to learn from your mistakes, but since it's already happened we might as well do the right thing from this point on.
No qualms with Slimani as a backup striker on a short team deal, will probably succeed in the Llorente 'throw on a lump role'.
Anfield's steps to domination: Putting the right man in charge
Liverpool have waited 30 years to lift the Premier League and now they are on the brink of finally doing so. Not to mention, three trophies in 2019 including their sixth European Cup by beating Tottenham.www.dailymail.co.uk
Signing smart by understanding big data
English football mocked when Henry and Werner talked enthusiastically about how baseball had been transformed by Billy Beane's Moneyball and a new wave of perplexing stats, and how, in 2004, it helped them end the 86 years without a World Series at the Red Sox.
Most saw them as naïve owners about to be fleeced by an idea that made for a great Hollywood movie but wouldn't fit English football. Liverpool hired Ian Graham, a Cambridge University physics PhD, from Spurs and Michael Edwards, also from Tottenham, just as Gordon took over.
Former sporting director Damien Comolli, who had worked with them, said they were the best in what was then a niche activity. Graham writes his own statistical metrics to outperform rivals.
Edwards applies the analysis to a wider canvas. The headline successes are Philippe Coutinho, signed for £8.5million and sold for £142m — enabling the signings of Virgil van Dijk and Allison — and taking a chance on Chelsea reject Mo Salah for £34m in 2017.
But Graham's favourite signing is Andy Robertson for £8m, who was part of the worst defence in the Premier League at Hull City but is now in UEFA's team of the year. Gordon identified Graham and Edwards's talent, empowered them and promoted them. Graham is director of research and Edwards is sporting director.
Disgusting that we had them both and let them leave.
Agreed. He's not being brought in to score. He's mainly being brought in to make sure that Son and Lucas end up in positions to score. Which they currently aren't.
But I am unsure on how reliable these rumors are.
Sources at Tottenham say that the only discovery Comolli made was that of the left-back Benoît Assou-Ekotto, while they also mock him for electing to pursue the signing of the striker Darren Bent from Charlton Athletic in 2007 rather than follow up the club's initial interest in Fernando Torres, who would join Liverpool from Atlético Madrid that same summer.

Play Parrot.... How bad can he be, FFS?
Slimani: P35 G8 since 2016.
Benteke: P97 G19 since 2016.
This old mantra from the media and our own supporters for years that we can't possibly get a striker in because Kane plays every game when fit , so nobody will sit on the bench.
Iheanacho needs to sack his agent as he signed for Leicester where Vardy starts every game, funnily enough Iheanacho gets game time, bit like Origi at Liverpool, he gets game time too.
Just having someone out there playing the striker role might make a difference given how we play right now.
Like I said, we'll probably have to wait until the summer for a longer term solution.
I'd gladly play him. I'm not sure what goes on behind the scenes regarding him, but his situation needs to be clarified. We either play him (unlikely) or at least loan him. He could really use some game time.
exactly. Right now we just want to make it through the season. The real rebuild starts in the summer.
And Mourinho teams always have a big, strong central striker who might not be the top scorer in the team, but who creates room for the wingers or AMs to score in. Like he used Costa to create space for Hazard and Willian at Chelsea.
Word on the street is that he has had a minor injury and had surgery on it.
Read about it here, but I had forgotten about it. Bad timing to say the least.
Needs to sort out his future before we play him (allegedly); yet obviously a little game-time would be a sweetener. Catch 22 much?
