Ellis Simms stepping up in place of Kean?

[aglee]

Yerry Mina - throw him up top and let him do those deft little backheels for a winger to knock in. At the right end of the pitch

 

[twoblue]

If he was anywhere near first team ready he would had minutes against fleetwood and Salford.

 

[Philw]

Think we will see Gordon get minutes up top before Simms. Hopefully we will see him in the squad for some cup games at some point this year tho.

Simms has made tremendous progress in the past eighteen months, the coaches have really worked on his hold up play, passing , bringing others into the game etc. His work rate is nowhere near DCLs, his heading is poor compared to his size , but one on one with the goalkeeper he’s actually a better finisher than DCL at the same age, though DCL was the better all round player age for age .
In short he’s got a lot of learning to do , hence why weve kept him at FF until at least January, the coaches are still working hard with him. As a late sub for DCL say last 10 mins he’d be fine. The U23s have been playing him as both the middle of a three and a lone striker so he knows what role he needs to play if he does step up.

Even if DCL doesn't pick up any knocks, he's going to play a whole lot of gains, especially as he's an England regular now. I don't really know why we loaned Kean out without having a replacement. When is Tosun available again?

Not heard an exact date, but he seems to be back doing some training. Probably another month or so for him, similar for Gbamin.

I can only assume Kean pushed for it?

It really does seem short sighted to not of signed a replacement. But we shall see.

Who plays up front for spurs when Kane isn't playing?

Spurs generally don't get results when Kane isn't playing. Think their win ratio falls by around 10% without him.

Gordon played some games as an out an out striker for u23 so I suppose he's an option. Other than that maybe playing Sigurdsson as a false 9.

Wtf

 

[SteStocksDJ]

Disappointed cheesey garlic bread hasn’t got more votes

Can we have VAR look at it?

 

[messymascot]

Wtf

I know but he his a false player so false 9 might suit him!!

True, we’ve been playing him as a false 10 for years.

In a few weeks. Think he will be in the match day squad for the Newcastle game.

It'll be nice to have a striker on the bench again, no idea why we've taken such a daft risk, could ruin our season.

i would expect Tosun back after the next international break / so after the next three games. So Richalison's sending off has come at a bit of a inconvenient time
