I like him, but don't love him, functional and hard working, but doesn't have the cutting edge to elevate us IMO. Thats not even comparing him to Kane, just not the instinctive side there, gets in right areas and good in air, always feel he wants abit too much time on ball to guarantee the outcome than get shots off at times

Teams have won or come close without a real WC striker. (Even the goons). Most famous probably being France winning the WC (Guirvach) or a closer comparison might be Firminio at Liverpool.

You have to have extreme quality in other areas to make up for the lack of a top striker for this to work. France had world class defence along with Zidane and a young really young Henry (that people weren't even noticing at the time). Pool had Salah and Mane and Firminio was a fantastic facilitator so yes it's possible but that world class quality is usually still in the side, its just coming from somewhere else.

Was talking to a Hammers fan couple of years ago who actually believed that Kretinsky was going to buy the Taxpayers Stadium for them , as you say most of the wealth is based on companies they own etc, stock market crash could wipe it all out.

Let’s hope so. Or the post office folds

Won't have to do a 5km run to get to one...

You’re confusing that with scouting

You can just as easily say our level is Romero, VDV, Porro..

But you said better players would choose other clubs. So scouting would be irrelevant.

United, Arsenal, Chelsea would all have been better sides last season if they had Solanke. United is now looking at DCL, Vardy & Wilson as options, so Solanke doesn't seem to be a "bad level"

Utd are a brick show. Let's not use them as a marker.
