Brave move letting our only striker leave without a replacement confirmed.
Assume we are getting a replacement but what happens if he gets injured/ suspended?!

Anyway not buying into the Kodija hate. The broken ankles weren't his fault

I wonder if his wrist will ever get better, he's had it bandaged for 3 years

 

[ldgavfc]

4 camels and 2 goats a real bargain

And they'll still play with less of a hump than Kodjia!

 

[robbali]

Even better if one of the camels can fit into a number 9 shirt.

RSI?

Slimani apparently wanted by spuds.

A little scouts report on Louie Barry. If we ever actually sign the lad that is. Though he's apparently been training with us over the weekend.

Doubt they'll give Spurs a striker when they're both competing for CL spots

 

[1958Villan]

I could be wrong, but that’s the impression I got from all the rumours. Still think it will be a struggle to get him here, he’ll have plenty of offers

If by some miracle we could get Giroud, it could be the best £6 million we could spend.
Just imagine Giroud as centreforward with Jack and Samatta buzzing around him.

Do Spurs actually have any Scouts or do they just go for players others have identified??

 

[Dumble]

Is there still a chance for Giroud? I would quite like him on loan. Obviously we need two. Can’t really see it happening but He is a beast, I could see Grealish thriving in the way that he did when we had Benteke, making runs off him. He’s not a 20 goal man but I think he makes players around him better

Giroud would have to be a signing .We can't loan him as we already have Drinkwater from Chelsea.

Oh I didn’t realise that! Can’t believe we wasted it on Drinkwater that is dire

 

[crimsondonkey]

Giroud would have to be a signing which would be what, £10m fee and £100-£150k a week for say 2 years which would be about another £15m.

If he helps keep us up then its money well spent. It would also perhaps help Wesley as a mentor when he comes back too, if Giroud has that kind of character to spend time with younger players.

I'm sure I saw his transfer fee to Inter was only 5m.

Its classic Mourinho. He waits till the medical is done then swoops in with a late offer.

 

[crimsondonkey]

Ah okay, even better then. Certainly a wiser move than Benteke for £10m, similar wages and a crocked player who would make a mockery of the medical checking process if he passed one.

 

[AMS78]

Samatta won’t be done in time for him to play v Watford. So, into another vital game with no striker.
