Not a fan of Morata personally, definitely a step down from Kane. Obviously better than Janssen and we could accommodate to fit him in the system but I feel there are definitely better targets out there.

Who would you be targeting Edin? Genuine question, not on the wind up.

Admittedly my European football knowledge isn't great but:
Lukaku - Obviously cost a lot and a high target for a lot of teams. Would be perfect for us, we could accomodate him easily and brings a different style. Few can run the channels better than him in the PL. (Would guess he would cost £40m-£50m)
Lacazette - Talented goal scorer, runs the channels well as well. Great dribbler with the ball and quick as anything. Would bring a different dynamic to the front line. Highly sought after as well (£30m - £40m).
Fekir - The reason Lacezette scores so many goals, crazy creative and can play anywhere along the front four. Would bring a very different dynamic to our attack if he lead the line. (Would probably cost £20m - £30m)
Martial - A very good talent, exceptional dribbler and quick. Great option off the left; and I am sure he is fed up playing under Mou and would want out. Dunno what his price would be but think we could get him.
I'd absolutely love Lukaku. It would give us two genuinely excellent options for the CF role. Can't quite see it happening though - money and other interested clubs
Lacazette I don't know enough about really
Martial... not convinced about, mostly because I think we need another out and out CF rather than a wide forward.
I would actually like to see Janssen given another season, I still think he has it in him to kick on
Good player and miles better than Janssen let's be fair. This is the type of calibur striker we should be targeting.
People turning their noses up at Morata...
No chance he'd come. You don't go from no 2 at Real to no 2 at Spurs. I don't see us signing a top striker
Would love Morata at Spurs but would think if he does move this summer it will be to play as the "Main Man". I still Think Dembele is the man for us, I know we could've had him cheap & Celtic will have our eyes out over the price, but he's young, something different from Harry is probably young enough to accept he's second choice behind Kane. Hopefully Poch's rep for developing young talent would be an attraction. With that said (& I accept they would never sell to us) I love to offer silly money to Cheksi for Tammy Abraham (Defo one for the future). That would be a hell of a strike force going into a big season with a ton of games to come !
Who is turning their nose up at Morata?
Didn't Dembele fail a medical with us last summer?
There are not too many clubs out there who have 2 big nae forwards on their books, like if we had Kane + Lukaku/Lacazette.
I think whatever we go with as a striker option MUST be able to play wide or central and be equally effective at both. Unless we went to 2 up top, we just couldnt keep 2 No.9s happy all season.
Martial is a good call but Utd wont sell to us and they paid stupid money and would look to extract as much ££ out of us as possible....with Levy, that aint gonna happen.
Morata is pretty decent but again, not going to oust Kane and so wont be a starter more often than not.....Real subs bench to Spurs subs bench might be a tough one to sell to him !
I don't think United would sell Martial to us. Were a direct rival.
All these strikers mentioned are all fantastic players and would greatly improve our squad. The problem is would Lacazette, Morata, Dembele or the like be happy sitting on our bench for the big games?
The problem we have is that Kane is our first choice striker and will play most and all the big games. Yes there will be times when Kane is injured, needs resting or needs a partner if we are chasing games but to entice a big name player its going to be tough.
I think our only option is to find another youngster from the lower leagues or abroad who would be happy being an understudy for a while.
Lukaku goes missing in the big games, is a bit of a pussie at times
Sorry Devon I was writing my post while you submitted yours.
Totally agree with what your saying mate.
Again, I never said I think we will necessarily get any of these players, I just said players who I would try and go for.
We could easily fit every one of them into our team and give them regular playing time.

Has Son not done enough this season to be a back up CF for you?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's really more of an AM or a second striker, has struggled leading the line imo
Son is appalling leading the line, he played well once in the 2-0 vs City but ever since has failed to make any impact. Janssen is preferable.
Son isn't a front man, he's far better when Kane or Janssen play up top and he plays around them. If we only go one up top I'd prefer Janssen and then bring Son on after an hour
The disgusting Chavvs will sign him just so nobody else can

I hope we do. I think he can become a brilliant striker if given the main CF role at a club.
