Lennon to play as a striker?

Robbie Keane

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is hoping that Robbie Keane will be fit to face Blackburn on Saturday.

The Irish striker missed the 1-1 draw with Sunderland due to an ankle injury and Harry is left with a striker selection problem due to Pav’s back injury.

This has left the Spurs boss tempted to play Aaron Lennon in a forward role just off Peter Crouch.

“I could do with Robbie if Pavlyuchenko’s got a bad back,” said Redknapp. “It leaves me with only Crouchy.

“I’ve got no-one else I can push up front, really, even (Aaron) Lennon, who could play through the middle at a pinch.”

    Lennon striker! Why not play someone of whom has scored recently, Bale? Modders could run the LW with VDV in the middle beside Hudds and have a Bale/Crouch partnership?

    I feel a striker is a must in January .Why not try carroll of newcastle as a replacement for crouch or davies of bolton.They could be a foil for defoe or for van der varrtt to play off.

    Because Carroll would be nuts to leave Newcastle for us. He is first choice, scoring, adored by thousands. A move now is wrong for him. Davies too old, and wouldn't score enough. Someone suggested Rodellega – hirstorically he hasn't scored that many – but he is playing Wigan who don't score many anyway. Plus he is scoring now – 4 goals already in the league. Certainly beats Crouch's total of zero. I am sure he wouldn't refuse us as there is a chance of European football, more recognition and a higher salary. He may not be perfect, but he is the right age – and maybe the right price. SpursMalaysia – I don't think Obika is the answer….

    We score when Crouch heads (knocks) down to Pav or who ever else is around. Agreed 1 stricker is loosing us ground in the league

    I think we definatley need to get a striker in January, Suarez or Forlan? Decent strikers than can get goals out of nothing.
