The spurs scouting team and staff have had 6 months to search for viable option upfront. Don't give that me that bullshit of " there's no one available" what the fuck are we paying Mitchall and Co for then? To sit on their ass twiddling their thumbs? There are strikers out there that I'm sure the club have identified.

Quoting because it needs to be quoted
Problem is that this question is wrong:
There's no signing that can guarantee anything.
If that logic was used for all transfers, then what'd be the point in signing anyone?
Surely most people just think some backup would increase our chances, that's all.
So then you don't know of any strikers that we can sign that are available that will bump us in glory of winning the league? Gotcha.
Obviously if Poch hasn't added any strikers there is a good reason for it. Like it said, which is the most important point of all of this. We all don't know shit about the transfer window.
I think a lot of people feel we already have adequate backup though, and we'd hate to see that backup cunted to the side to make space for someone much less versatile.
I completely agree dude, but I'm proving a point. The point is these guys think if we sign someone that it will guarantee create "that little boost" or automatically prevent our season from disintegrating. It's just not true. We don't know what will happen IF we sign someone and we don't know what will happen if we don't.
Yeah, but the former logic is the logic being spouted by our coach, so it would seem that it's a viewpoint with some merit.
Being called a 'Levy apologist' because I'm not losing my shit over us not signing someone like fucking Jordan Rhodes is pretty fucking annoying, it has to be said.
I think the real issue here is there isn't going to be any sort of player similar to Kane who is willing to be backup, he's ridiculously good and provides so much more than a threat in the box. Players who offer his level of service to the team are starters, not squad players.

Juande Ramos had one of the most lethal strike partnerships in the PL. Berbatov and Keane. Levy then proceeded to strip him of not one, but both in the same window. Taking the Berba deal to the final seconds and giving the fans the booby prize of Frazer Campbell. Charming. Ramos had his pants pulled down in the headlights. This seems a rather strange episode to use in your unfathomable need to support Daniel Levy
It's actually embarrassing for you to be totally honest.
and my point was that....
Eric Dier was a DM for Sporting and he played that position before. It's not a new position like you're making it out to be.....much like Bale who played quite a lot of games further forward for Southampton...again not a new position. Add to that these are youngsters that will find it easier converting into a new position (should they have the necessary attributes to play there in the first place).
It's not the same as someone coming in half way through the season (if Kane gets inured) and being asked to play as a LONE striker. Hell even a lot of actual strikers can't play as a lone striker and lead the line...there's a massive difference.
Jordan Rhodes hater.
Almost like your unfathomable need to dig him.
It's like a new training ground, new stadium and a title challenge isn't enough for you.
haha init.
I don't agree with half of that post (the first 2 sentences) but i do appreciate you being able to state your point in a calm fashion.
You're so wrong that I'm not even going to continue discussing it with you. You're easily the most narrow minded poster in this whole thread. And that includes a guy whose whole Schtick is hating Levy and not believing the stadium is real.
Edit: Fuck it. I'll humour you. How many games has Son started up front for us, how many goals and assists has he got from those starts up front for us?
Now tell me why he can't play up front for us?

Have you read Ramos' side?
It's not all on Levy:
Juande Ramos: 'Tottenham won a cup, everyone was happy. Then? Sacked'
And I find you're dancing around the actual issue. We've been let down by managerial mistakes more than a lack of January signings. To claim that's it's all down to signings ignores everything that actually happened.
I want more. To me, Spurs are the biggest club in the world. He we have the best fans, the best history, the best stadium, the best eveything....But we should always be aiming higher. Its better to succeed aiming high, than to fail aiming low. To Dare Is To DoAlmost like your unfathomable need to dig him.

what am i wrong about?
Dier playing DM for Sporting = FACT
Bale playing quite a lot of games further forward for Southampton = FACT
Playing as a lone striker is hard = Opinion but the general consensus would agree.
Younger players finding it easier to convert into a new position = Basically Fact
It's not that i'm wrong...it's that (much like earlier on when you ignored posts when you knew you was wrong) you don't know how to debate properly and resort to insults (calling people twats and all sorts) and claiming people are saying things when they are not (rather than read their post properly)
Just look at our previous interactions earlier on this thread to see what kind of person you are.
