That is a fucking great point you make there tbf mate.Why do we need another striker? 3rd, 2nd, 3rd and 3 semi-final losses that's why.

Still gutted we didnt go for Witsel.
Imo he is 1 of the best in the world as a holding midfielder. Just look how he lifted Dortmund now.
He's always been great. Always picked the wrong clubs but now at 29 he's loaded and puts his football first.Never rated him.
Until this season. He's been absolutely incredible at Dortmund.

World Cup? Benfica? Early Standard Liege days?Meh. Before this season everytime I've seen him he's looked garbage.

Great player imo.
Explain to me how another striker would have had us beat Utd and Chelsea in those Semi-finals?Sorry but utterly ridiculous and massively incorrect.
It is now like Brexit and this striker issue.
Kane is superb but can lose form, get injured or need support.
Son or Moura are decent options but not strikers. Anyone who understands football should be able to see that.
In key games and for that difference between being a competitor or being a likely winner that difference is most evident. See yesterday with no Aguero for City.
My view is 100% that without a second/other striker who can effectively lead the line in Kane's absence for whatever reason that we will win nothing.
That until we add 2/3 players to the current group we will continue to challenge but not get past the winning line.

Is the one caveat to this trying to sign players from leagues that finish around this time?Its silly doing transfers in winter. I have thinking and it always be. The players dont have any major impact in the season when signed in January. Look at Moura, he's doing things just now. But would not mind buying CM/Wilson.
And or signing contract with Toby or selling him for 25/30M and bringing De Ligt in.
Same problem in the end, the step up is so steep for them that it takes them ages to adapt to the league.Is the one caveat to this trying to sign players from leagues that finish around this time?
Getting someone in from the MLS or a South American league would be easier in January, no?
I guess so. On the plus side, they could do the Lucas-style bedding in and training with the squad process. Doesn't seem to have done him much harm this season.Same problem in the end, the step up is so steep for them that it takes them ages to adapt to the league.

I really don't get those who seem content with it as it is.
Sure we overachieve, look a united team and compete. On that score we are nearly without equal in what we do but is it wrong as a fan to want and believe we can still get more?
So mine is very straightforward.
It's like for some posters even if we could get an Aubameyang, Lacazette or Cavani for example (and there are good strikers who would play second fiddle to Kane) that we wouldn't, not because of anything other than they would not want to sit on the bench. Or that it would not give us an even better chance to win silverware.
I am just baffled by that notion.

I disagree. Winter signings are ideal as it gives the player enough time to adjust to life at Spurs and hit the ground running in August.Its silly doing transfers in winter. I have thinking and it always be. The players dont have any major impact in the season when signed in January.
