Because we're signing the Dembele kid from Lyon instead, right?
Right???

VDVHave we ever signed a player without the rollercoaster of news? Apart from Son, I think no one.
Let's draw conclusions at the end of the window
To the people wincing at the thought of buying a 30m backup striker... let's take a quick look at our competition and their estimated current values in today's market:
1) Liverpool - Divock Origi (20 - 30m)
2) Man City - Jesus (40-50m)
3) Chelsea - Giroud or Batshuayi (10-20m)
4) Woolwich - Two strikers who have a value of around 30-40m each
5) Man U - Martial (40-50m)
I have been intentionally low on my estimates of the 'bigger' players who could well go in excess of the above.
So really it wouldn't be out of the ordinary at all. We need squad depth at this position as Kane is seemingly an injury prone player now so we really need to be prepared (and to have a fucking plan B for once!)

After sitting through the 5 minute Dele-Son slap fest celebration.Much as I hate the goal scoring routine I wouldn't complain seeing it 20+ times this season

I would prefer that. He is a fucking specimen. Frightening pace.Because we're signing the Dembele kid from Lyon instead, right?

I'm so bored of our dead line day bollocking around. I used to find it exciting, nowadays it's as annoying as someone repeatedly prodding a fork in my eye.Deadline day
Just saw an intersting fact. Last striker we bought from AC Milan? Jimmy Greaves. Wonder how that turned out...
At the very least Parrott should have had around 30 minutes vs Middlesborough. Its mental to not even give him that. Imagine if we hadnt done that with Kane. Not like Kane was doing anything majorly brilliant before the great Tim Sherwood gave him a proper run in the side.He's an absolutely vital signing if Mourinho is going to complete his project here. Bringing in players that reduce the chances of pesky youth players getting minutes is a big part of José's philosophy. This could be a great move for Parrott too, just look at the influence José had on De Bruyne and Salah.
As if people haven't learned from past transfer windows. The media will throw everything they have at us during this time, most of which will be bollocks. What matters is that we don't start acting like melts and that we actually end the window getting in some of the players we need.
Please jus buy Mitrovic it makes much more sense. Why are we so bloody stupid. Sometimes the obvious move is the right one.
Was watching a Juventus v AC Milan game from April 2019 earlier, and I didn't like the look of Piatek. No pace or power, very limited footballer.Please jus buy Mitrovic it makes much more sense. Why are we so bloody stupid. Sometimes the obvious move is the right one.
