I do wonder what ENIC's game plan is here. They should really sell us now while our stock is still relatively high. A few years out of the champions league and the stadium novelty gone and we will be a lot less attractive proposition.
Please release is you cants
Given the popularity of the lone striker, finding a quality backup striker is one of the most difficult things to do in football. And often most teams use a player out of position. Especially when you have a quality first choice striker like Spurs do.
Look at all the biggest, and richest, clubs in Europe and see who they use to back up their main cf. As an example, Real Madrid spent forty odd million on Jovic and he’s done fack all.
What chance do Spurs have of signing a quality player that will happily play back up to Kane and also perform?

A new striker would not be "back-up".
Kane is getting injured regularly now.
New striker would share duties with Kane.
Kane has to realize that he's not as young as he used to be.
What? Harry Kane is 26 and has started the vast majority of your games for the last six years. He’s your best, and highest paid, player and talisman. There is not a player on the planet that Spurs can sign that will be sharing duties with Harry Kane.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why can’t the player come in and play with Kane ? Or when Kane does get injured or needs a rest due to us running him into the ground constantly, new striker comes in and takes his place. Hate this f** attitude of “ we have Kane, so we can’t get another striker to come in and play “. We need another top striker like every other top club has.
Because you play with one up top and top strikers do not go to Tottenham to play out of position.
I’m not saying you can’t sign another striker, though. I’m saying you cannot sign another top striker to come in and take his place ‘like every other top club has’ because you cannot attract a player that can replace and not every other top club has a top back up striker.
PSG are the only club in Europe with a top back up striker. But he’s only that because he’s old, injury probe and has been replaced and now wants to leave to play.
Elite clubs struggle with this. Why you think Spurs should just be able to easily solve this problem is beyond me.
That’s not to defend Levy’s transfer policy, by the way. But you just seem to be living in another world when it comes to this issue.
I count a top striker as a player like Cavani who is 100% gettable right now. We are the only top club that doesn’t have a natural striker as back up, it’s ludicrous.

Cavani 3 years ago, yes. Now..... he's over the hill and way beyond.
We don`t need back up for Kane, we need competition for Kane, there is a difference. Nobody should be undroppable, and that includes Harry Kane.

Not "competition". An equal team mate. Who shares duties and playing time.
Kane can no longer start every game, not with the schedule we have.

I agree, we need a top striker to share the load. F** this United twaaaat saying we can’t get another striker of quality. All the big clubs have 2 decent strikers in their ranks apart from Spurs. We need to sign a striker, who not only could possibly play with Kane, but take his place if need be.
Me personally I would go all out for Werner, but I know Levy won’t pay the required amount. Werner would be the perfect option because he can play centre forward and wing forward if need be. He’s got bags of pace. I would bid 60 mil for Werner and we got 2 quality strikers. Werner, Kane and Son would be a superb trio. But if I look realistically, then 20/30 mil is probably our benchmark for a striker which definitely won’t get him. So it looks like this Piateck is going to be our best option, or a short term deal like a Cavani.

Don, of course Spurs need another striker. Ridiculous we only have a now injury prone Kane as our main striker. Kane needs some competition. I expect Jose realises this and will get the required funds to purchase one.

I`ve been banging the Werner drum for many windows, he would be a good fit but Levy won`t pay what is required to get him.
This Piatek is coming across as a bit of a meh signing, Rasiak mk2 in all probability
Piatek a proper striker though Billy and is certainly better than playing Son and Lucas upfront.

You don’t know he’s poor though do you ? Had a standout season in an average Geneo team scoring a lot of goals. Hasn’t been terrible for Milan either, especially his 1st season. I’m not saying he’s the top class striker we need, but we need a classic number 9 that can provide the goals. Son and Lucas are not up to it.

Based on the games I have watched, the opinions of others and the numbers I'm pretty confident saying that he is poor or at the very least not what we need.

We will see. I just don’t want to spend the rest of the season playing 2 players out of position upfront. Lucas and Son are wide forwards, not strikers.
I want a striker but not just any old one.
Ideally a loan with a option would be good so we don’t waste our seemingly non existent budget
Knowing Levy, we probably won’t get anyone.
Radix might be worth a shot , Ajax captain so Levy will have to spend big, but his 31 .
