Not saying we don't need to score goals. Just saying everyone is going into meltdown over the striker issue when we've significantly improved our team defensively.

Overall, not conceding in a game is more important than scoring in terms of the points it gets you.
Aside from the fact I don't necessarily agree with your logic - 38 0-0 draws will likely get you relegated so not conceding can't really be more important - it's also worth pointing out that our defensive improvement is currently entirely theoretical and has not been confirmed. We haven't kept a clean sheet in any of our last 3 games, so I wouldn't automatically assume we'll be impenetrable this season.
 
You have to wonder if we were hoping to have sold off more players by now, particularly Barkley and McCarthy in order to fund a striker purchase. If the manager and Walsh knew all along that we'd have to sell to buy, then their use of the budget afforded to them will have to be questioned. Did we really need both Sigurddson and Klaasen for those prices? Especially given we had to replace Lukaku. All the talk when we sold him was of spreading the goals around. No one looks likely to slot consistently right now except Rooney. It's not good enough. Personnel wise we have some good players, but there are teams below us who function better as an attacking unit. Not to mention those above us.

However if Koeman was under the impression that money was no issue and we'd have plenty left for a striker, then serious questions need to be asked of our board. Whatever way you spin it, even if we do get someone in today, we've handled this appallingly.
 


If we can only loan a striker wtf Weres the money? lol I'm going to kick of tonight if we don't buy a striker. Everton unless your pretending here and then boom last minute.... I'm getting nervous lol
 
F*****g Spurs have probably jeopardised any move we were going to make with Batman over these Llorente shenanigans. Why is it always them? o_O

Not what we need anyway. He's a good goal scorer but the little I've seen of him he had little to offer in terms of build up/hold up play.
 
Swansea not pissing about. Lose a playmaker and striker, get a playmaker and striker in.

Easy.
We should have been in for llorente. He's going to play second fiddle at Spurs to Kane, but would walk into our starting 11. Great target man, excellent touch and scores goals. Just what we needed, hopefully the signing of vlasic will give us some much needed pace in the team.
