Spurs offensively look great, just like Liverpool were last season. However defensively Liverpool have strengthened Spurs have not and that is why they are not top of the league. What I'm trying to say is that Spurs haven't gone any forward nor backwards as you say whilst Liverpool have. Feel if we are going to go forward offensively rather than stay at where we are at then I think we need to at least look at alternatives. Not a magic bullet but relying on an attacker/s finding some form within the club looks dangerous in terms of staying in the league. Roy's comment "we will have to work with what we have" I really hope is a cagey bluff.

Even if we did get Solanke his lack of matches would mean he's a good month from being fit enough to start in Roy's eyes

If our transfers in the last January window are anything to go by then we should keep our powder dry. Put faith in those we have. They are certainly good enough to keep us up. Revisit in the summer. Would be delighted in we could offload Benteke to China

I can only see us loaning in a striker in the Solanke mould - young and as such an unknown quantity.
Wickham is getting fitted and Benteke is due back.
Between ffp and Parish a massive spend is unlikely.

I agree, loan out Sorloth if we can bring in a back-up striker. If he gets a chance to learn he could still be something decent, selling low would not be smart.
Ayew is going nowhere, and Wickham will be number 3 behind Tekkers, so Sorloth will never get a start.

Things are looking ok for staying up, and with Tekkers, Wickham and Dann about healthy we have much better cover. But Roy might be gone in the summer. If so, the new manager might be someone who will try out some young players. Roy likes his veterans, and safety first is the understandable motto. (Only exception being AWB who came in and has been pretty much flawless -had one off game last season and Roy brought Ward back in).

what specifically would you like him to do? he's probably sat through thousands of press conferences and knows what you do and don't do pretty well. boring, repetitive, predictable and pointless questions are bound to get short shrift. I bet he hates press conferences more than any other part of the job, and fair dues.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.
