I would expect they are always on the look out for someone who can add to the squad.

Would have to join a very long queue to have chance of getting any striker on freebie... :o

Just to prove a point on what strikers are available, Spurs and Man Utd both needed stickers, Spurs failed with Bale and Utd went and got Ighalo who basically failed at Watford, speaks volumes about those who are free

No idea why people think January is a good time to try buy quality players cheaply... it's the worst time that's why very few clubs actually buy its mostly loans..

Sakho the former West Ham striker had just been realised by Rennes no idea what his form has been like only 30 could be worth a look IF we're looking for a striker

We have 4 strikers for christs sake!!! Why does everyone think we need more. Defence and midfield are our problems as we keep conceding goals...especially early on. We could have kane upfront and still he wouldn't score loads as it's our playing style.

We are in the top half of the table for goals scored but bottom half for goals conceded. WE HAVE 4 STRIKERS!!!.....get over it

Bull shit. We create plenty of chances but the 4 strikers your bangin on about more often than not fluff their lines and miss, not clinical enough to put the ball in the back of the net thats why we need a striker, how anyone can think other wise baffles me

We are obviously useless at buying strikers because its years since had a striker score more than 12 goals in a season unless can enlighten me? But we are
in top 10 for goals scored which is strange considering our style of play! There is no consistency with supporting strikers giving them one or two chances in a game is not conducive to make them a 15 goals a season striker, so unless we change way we play we wont have any striker score 10 goals or more.. pats last two goals been from dead balls arriving in 6yrd area and him 1yrd out he couldn't miss! Its the open play support that is lacking for ward glatzel ect ect

Since when do we create plenty of chances? I’d say barely anything is created in open play.

had a look at free strikers on transfermarkt and there’s not much to get excited about.

for those who’ve played in england there’s:
Diafra Sakho
Modibo Maïga
Victor Anichebe
Marcus Pedersen
Bradley Wright-Phillips
Emmanuel Emenike
Anthony Stokes
Emmanuel Mayuka
Nicklas Bendtner

and then there’s Moussa Sow who’s been quite prolific across Europe but has just turned 34

Very true as I just pointed out to score a striker can need 4 or more good chances only kane ect score from 1st chance and even then they can miss sitters! We create few open play chances for our strikers . .
