We asked for your views on Spurs being set to sign Randal Kolo Muani on a season-long loan deal or whether a longer-term option would have been better.
Here are some of your comments:
Fred: No doubt that he is a stellar player, but I’m curious to see how he will fit in. Spurs already have Tel, Richarlison and Solanke at the front, so unless Frank assigns the likes of Tel to the wing, it doesn’t make much sense to overfeed the frontline. Plus, I imagine PSG will be expecting Muani to get some credible game time, which is not entirely feasible based on the weight of options at centre-forward.
Thomas: Being a loyal Tottenham fan for over 55 years I have seen players and managers come and go, but I don’t think we have done enough in this transfer window. There are still parts of the team that need strengthening.
Michael: Well, that was a bolt from the blue. I have long held the view that we needed an out and out striker but we kept on fortifying the midfield. Let’s hope that he can convert some of the attacking moves that we have proved we are capable of and on a consistent basis.
Peter: It sounds like a good deal but after I thought about it, maybe not. I can always be proven wrong but Richarlison has proved he can score goals and Solanke is ready on the bench. Solanke expects regular game time and so does Richy, so where does Muani fit in? Maybe on the wing? He is a good player nonetheless, but if we are going to sign him as a third choice, why let a fan favourite Will Lankshear leave for Oxford United? He is happy to be back up and not play regularly while three others expect 90 minutes consistently. Yes, we could only land a couple of shots at Bournemouth, which is probably why we are making this happen, but I don’t see the need to. Good player – yes. A good fit for the team – no.
Paul: Spurs needed another striking option to Richarlison and Solanke. With their injury records, no way they would be able to cover playing twice a week, every week.
Peter: Solanke has been a massive disappointment. He doesn’t score goals and he doesn’t keep fit. He’s just not good enough for the Premier League and we need to replace him permanently.
