I forgot about Spurs, they actually need a striker right now.  But, could they get a big name in?  Someone who knows they will be a back up for the foreseeable future.  Maybe we can get Spurs to fly them over and do the medical for us.

LOL Maybe we can send them Willian instead? Say he just missed the flight?

Excellent business, very happy with this signing and the accompanying deal.

If he sucks in the next 6 months (even then I doubt he will be worse than Morata) then we can go all in on an established striker in the summer. If he proves a success then we could keep him for another 12 months and buy a younger striker prospect to act as an understudy. 

Honestly, this is probably the best we could do in a January window. It's all fine and well to point to young strikers as the "obvious" solutions, but success does not always carry over. We might as well have anded up paying a lot of money for Piatek only for him to fail hard. You never know these things in advance, and what we need now is not a prospect but a finished product. 

Paredes, Higuain and Pulisic in the summer is at the very least evidence of the club having ambition.

I think MOST of us are thinking it might come off. But you cant help but to have some doubts.

Once hes in our kit I'll be shouting my damned fool head off for him!

Couldn't say I'm massively excited. Hopeful more than anything. Still very dubious of sarris style and lack of any sort of plan B but hopefully him getting the short of players he wants will help. We need a striker and he was a good one, coming into the premier League tho at 31 having never played here before makes me wary. Then again Etoo had never played here before at his age and he managed ok. Fingers crossed

Sarri can't complain and tbf - contrary to conte - he never does. He got his Jorginho and HIguain, he got the best ball-playing gk in the world with Kepa + he gets to have Hazard,Pedro, Kante and his beloved Alonso to accompany this. What is a bit mindboggling to me  is to see which lengths the board goes to give a modest manager what he wants but refused to do the same for cheque-book managers like Mourinho and to an extent Conte. Maybe it was not even his results but his behaviour that got Conte the sack. Shame would have loved to see a really good manager backed as much as Sarri is backed now. Could have made us CL competitors again.
