Not sure he will be keen to play back up when other clubs will give him a start. Every striker know's at Spurs Kane plays no matter what.

Behave

I agree that this sort of signing should be looked at.

I understand that Kane will always start when he's available but look how important someone like Llorente has been to us in his absence, especially in the CL.

Without a like for like back up for Kane, i.e. Llorente, when Kane is out, we no longer have a plan B. It's pretty much guaranteed to be Son/Moura up front, so teams can effectively plan for that without having to worry about us throwing a curveball.

Having a Rondon would:

- Allow us to rest Kane more efficiently
- Give us a plan B with/without Kane

Llorente has made 65 appearances over two seasons and that's with him being a striker considerably less talented right now than Kane.

Although he's done a great job as back up, there are plenty of players that will be an upgrade. They will have the opportunity to play more than enough games over the course of the season.

we need to stop looking at it as a 'back up option' and start looking at a ready made first team striker to push / compete with Kane..

Kane spends large parts of every season injured... and we are in 4 competitions so there would be plenty of football for both to play.

Large parts is harsh. Before last season he only had one injury a season which kept him about for about six weeks at a time. He's never made less than forty appearances in a season.

And that was after he won the Ballon D'or playing almost all summer for England and then playing in 4 competitions from August till he got injured by a nasty challenge?

you may be right....... but in 6 weeks there are enough points at stake to make or break your season... so we need to have a better option. Son has done well in that role... but if he were also out then there is a problem

Golden boot

Don't care, it's all the same for me!

I was a playmaker and those strikers get awarded things for scoring when the hard work is done by the midfield so I never really agreed with these awards


so I call them all the same

Yes, admin can we get an emoji for fackingautocorrect


I know who'll use the most

It's always good to have a plan b type forward so we can change things if needed, I would like a target man type brought in for this reason, but also another pacey wide forward who is also capable of playing up front on his own (Werner, Bale), obviously Bale is highly unlikely but I'd love him back.

And the reply from Levy is "we have re-signed Llorente on a further 1 year contract"

Rondon? Lol would any other top 4 club sign him?

So many Tottenham fans still have a top 10 mentality

Christ.
