They've also bought Defoe and have Afobe and Callum Wilson....
He's had a good season. Can't do worse than Jannsen.

I actually think Josh King could be a very astute buy - and would be happy if that meant we have three proper strikers (like most teams at our level should!) with Son being seen as an out-and-out attacking midfielder.
It's difficult to say but I'm optimistic it will happen soon.
Isn't Chicharito, like, 402 years old? Doesn't sound very Pochesque to me. Also I don't think his style of play is right for Spurs, who've dallied - badly - with close-range poachers in the recent past (e.g. Bobby Soldier / Vinny).
It does feel like Josh King's a more all-round CF, happier to be involved in play from further back. More like Kane. Much younger too. My take on it is that he would fit better into this Spurs squad than an on-the-shoulder goal-hanger type.
I know we've had lots of success with in-the-box strikers in years past but it seems like they're starved in in this current team.

Don't get people who get angry at ITK.
I think it's nearly all bollocks but I see it as a bit of silly fun like horoscopes or something. No worse than tabloid gossip.
Not to say that he couldn't be a decent player for us, but Josh King would be a very un-inspiring transfer... 
According to Cherries fan/journo just been on TS, King goes missing when played deep/support striker.
Josh King is a great buy as a 3rd striker. Don't understand turning your nose up at that when Kane will play 95% of games. We're not looking to replace Harry so don't know why people would expect a bigger name like Chicharito, who doesn't suit us in any way, shape or form.
I think it's cos many still harbour concerns about our 2nd striker.
We were the only club with 3 players with at least 10 League goals. Goals aren't an area we desperately need to improve.
Just offering up the likely rationale....
...but if that's that case why bother signing him at all?
I wouldn't personally. But I think it would be a solid signing all the same. I'd rather invest that money in a creative force behind the striker. I'm happy with Kane/Vince/youngster tbh.
