Well either
A. We have a lot more money to spend than all the bedwetters think we have
B. Agent using us to push Arsenal to up their bid
C. Smoke screen to put every one off the scent of who we really want to buy.
Personally if we have lots of dosh to spend then why not Zaha, we wouldnt need to spend big on a striker as we could play a similar way to Liverpool, you wouldnt call Firminho your typical striker.
Not getting an out and out striker need not impair us if we get quick skillfull wingers which means teams would need to automatically defend deeper against us so no need for a back to goal striker.
Who knows..exciting 2 weeks ahead of us thats for sure !!!
Maybe going for the 4-5 players scoring 10-12 goals each, which is better than 1 striker scoring 20 and the others getting 3-4.
