Tottenham Hotspur: "To Dare Is To Do"

[boxhead]

Ah ok, well that's good because for a second I thought you were talking about David Villa :? and I was thinking to myself; "how the hell can we afford him??"
Good thing I'm wrong
Thanks mate!

Yeah I looked him up, he fits the target man bill and is a good striker (have to be if you play for Spain). We would do well to sign him.

 

[Twizzle]

Source? Everything else out there seems to be pointing to us (stupidly) sitting on our hands this window, in regards to getting a striker.

we are not sitting on our hands and we have plenty of cash to splash, harry cant agree with Levy on any valuations and he's being stubborn and refusing to pay overs

I'm starting to think harry was the man to get us out of the mid table position but he still thinks like a mid table manager and if we want to be a top 4 team and stay there, we need to think like one which means harry may have to go, there is a lot of friction in the club right now and harry has been rapped over the knuckles by the board

 

[Nevan_]

I haven't seen him play much, but he kicks ass on Fifa.

 

[Twizzle]

thats good enough for me

harry's misses would be better than our current crop of strikers, a combined tally of 4 goals between them in the epl so far this season

 

[hellteam]

Not looking good at the moment. Disillusioned fans, no striker bought, think we could be at the beginning of a mid season slide....

 

[Twizzle]

We've got till 9:00 AM our time tomorrow and dont be surprised if we spend over 50mill in the next 24 hours.

 

[hellteam]

Hope we do

 

[andrew057]

38.5mil offer for Aguero rejected.

 

[Twizzle]

dont believe the press

we could buy 2 strikers for that, we've never paid over 15mill for anyone previously

that number was mentioned because its his buy out clause amount in n his contract, we have spoken to him but certainly didn't offer anywhere near that, he could be a fall back option though

as I understand it our main targets are Llorente and Benzima but we'll take who ever we can get at this late stage and its possible we end up with no strikers

we have apparently got a new DM, possibly Diarra, I just hope its not Parker

 

[Deacon]

I would love Aguero but at this late stage who knows. Tonight it'll be another repeat of VdV deal, I think well bring in one striker as mentioned in here and Diarra too

 

[G.I.]

Bloody hope so

 

[Twizzle]

I would love Aguero but at this late stage who knows. Tonight it'll be another repeat of VdV deal, I think well bring in one striker as mentioned in here and Diarra too

I'm not sure we've even spoken to him, no one at the club has confirmed it yet, just media crap and he's only 5'9"so he's hardly a target man

 

[Deacon]

plenty of value in him at the age of 22 though, Im favouring Forlan or KB

 

[Nevan_]

Aguero as a fall back option? f**kin' hell

 

[boxhead]

If the DM is Diarra I will be very pleased. Hopefully we do end up with a striker and if we do get one I hope it is Benzema or Forlan.

 

[Twizzle]

Looking like the Aguero piece has legs. Apparently we made an offer (nothing like the 38mill) at the start of the transfer window and have been talking to him for a few weeks, along with every other striker in Europe.

And we have spoken to Carroll but no formal offer was ever made despite what the media are saying.

 

[andrew057]

Aguero as a fall back option? f**kin' hell

lol yeah, a lot of pie in the sky stuff here.

Im sure Spurs are looking at these players and have the money, but do these players really want to go to Spurs?

 

[Twizzle]

we'll find out by tomorrow morning who wants to come

 

[G.I.]

Ideally, KB and Diarra, obviously both know each other very well ( France, Real Madrid ) if one comes the other will fall like a domino.

 

[boxhead]

Yeah and it does seem like Diarra would be the defensive midfielder we have reportedly nearly signed. I think Benzema is still both the best option and the most likely signing out of the strikers.
