I keep hearing Jose bleating on about Spurs needing a new striker. They are supposedly after some guy who is on loan from Palace.
Now, firstly, I don't think Spurs need a striker. Kane, Son, Maura (however u spell it) and Bergwijn (no mission on spelling) is as good a front four, or as strong a front four as you will find outside the top two. Does signing some guy who couldn't get a game at notorious high scores Palace, improve that!?
From what I have heard Spurs looked, granted it was just 1 game, rusty/slow/unfit/poorly drilled/lost pick your favourite. Surely that implies they need an organiser, be it a CB or CM, but someone to keep people on their toes. That tends not to be a CF, by definition he is normally half a pitch away from his back four and unlike CB's who come up for corners, he tends not to be expected to drop back and help defend them.
Seems strange to me.
