On most positions we at least have recognised players for the positions, even if lower quality. Just not at CF!
Maybe they’re convinced this will be Scarlett’s breakthrough season?

I’m now expecting 3 ins and 3 outs based on this!

I agree with your overall assessment except the new keeper looks light years ahead of Hart (not difficult) and much more likely to challenge Lloris than Gazzaniga in his appearances so far.

This season, if any season, was the one we could try and blood a deputy without worrying about upsetting Kane, succession planning his likely departure next season and maybe even partner him with another 9 as he continues to drop deep. Playing Son there weakens another position and also deprives him of possible rotation and rest. Why are we the only team that don’t have a recognised backup CF ?!

Jerome Boateng is free. "We too good for him?"

Mitchell Thomas
I'd say he'd be a great back up and serial winner mentality to have in the dressing room.

Chequered life off the pitch. Makes Aurier look Amish in comparison.
Let’s hope so . That’s a lot of pressure on the youngster if Kane does get injured.

Perhaps Nuno, like Pochettino before him, it's somewhat more happy with Son and Lucas as the options to Kane and thus happier to see us focus on other areas of the team?

And as Poch would have already assessed, hard to find upgrades for the position over those two.
My its more about numbers up front rather than whether we can find someone better than Son or Moura. We have 5 players for the 3 positions, only one of whom is really a natural out and out CF. Means a heavy workload for those guys, or crossing fingers that Scarlett steps up

Or that Kane is used judiciously and kept healthy for PL games and anything mildly heavy in cup games or the ECL.
Right, but that relies on Son taking up the slack in other games, and probably playing out wide in league games. And what happens when one of those is injured?
I hope we're trying to get a CF in on loan today. Martial probably isnt needed by Utd, Jovic doesnt play much at all at Real and they're short of cash,....there must be someone!!!

Careful what you wish for. It'd be nice to have another Van der Vaart-type outcome on deadline day, but not holding my breath.

I thought we were in negotiations with Neves? All gonad*s really.

True, as long as we play with a front three and none of Lo Celso, Sessegnon, Alli and Ndombele count as front players.
I think at the very least we have more than those 5 options if we change or tweak the system/formation.
No doubt another good enough option, preferably someone that could be a good enough backup for Kane's role would be useful. But we've seen repeatedly that this is either expensive or difficult to find someone good enough to make an impact, or good enough to be trusted to make an impact.
Happy enough that we've focused on other areas so far and if we do that on the final day too. If a striker option becomes available I would be happy with us pursuing that too.

I think we are short of at least one player in every area of the pitch. Think we ideally need one more defender (CB), one midfielder (CM) and one forward, preferably one who can play CF.
Realistically we'll sign one at best.
Not sure why we didn't try to get a loan for someone like Moise Keane.

We have enough bodies in most, if not all, areas (depending on what positions we have in mind for Gil and Sessegnon), it's getting someone better than what we already have that's the tricky part. Was kind of expecting a loan or two without the obligation to buy now that the window is closing, but seems we're struggling to get anyone else out. Considering the wages some are on it's not a big surprise.
