mrbojangles Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I was reading somewhere the other day that Levy trusts AVB a lot more with his money than he did Harry I think I'd trust Ronnie Biggs with my money more than I would Harry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates28 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Just thinking, if this new fella that city have just bought is costing 30m pounds how much does that make "The Beast " worth ? yeh we just need to keep fingers crossed the injury hasn't taken too much out of him. As i said before, Sandro and Kaboul will be like two new signings for us. Townsend too come to think of it. You're putting words in Levy's mouth mate. Anyway....I still can't see this striker we are going to sign.... Early days smokes, the transfer window doesn't close until the 31st Aug if it wasn't for the previous years i'd say we're waiting for Baldini to come in and sort everything I was reading somewhere the other day that Levy trusts AVB a lot more with his money(his uncles money) than he did Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He supposed to be a very good player, who I would have thought worth a lot more that 7 million. He's scored a lot of goals and is still just 28.............could be injury prone or something though, as price seems too cheap. I don't suppose Levy has tried a straight swap deal?

Gomez lost his starting position this season to the on fire Croat Mandzukic. Mandzukic will stay at Bayern, and they also might pick up Lewandowski. So, no room for Gomez. He's a proven goal scorer, and at the prices reported, quite the bargain I would think. Arguably a better option than Villa, or maybe not arguably. I think either of them would be a bonus for Spurs or Arsenal, and City and Liverpool could do worse as well. Another option would be Gonzalo Higuain from RM. Another proven goal scorer, though he missed a sitter last night and got sent off in Argentina's draw with Colombia. Juventus however thought to have the inside track there. Plus, likely he'll fetch between 15 and 20 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmine Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 AVB should be telling any strikers our chances created ratio for an average game. The conversion rate is shocking. Yes as it has been for atleast three of the last four seasons and all under the watchful eye of forwards coach, Sir Les Ferdinand. So, being we are a club as tight as two coats of paint, can someone tell me why he is still employed? I never understood how he survived the cull when scrotum face went.

That's about £153,847 a week unless I've miscalculated. How does that compare with other top players in the PL? 7 million asking price sounds fishy.

Personally, as a Chelsea fan, I would be sorry to see Spurs drift away. To be fair its a criticism thats fairly universal. We all understand you don't spend money if you don't have it but you certainly don't downgrade a playing position to nick a few quid and its not as if he's been reinvesting much either. He's probably going to lose out in the end when we do buy a striker through his previous petty penny pinching. Were also sick of the last minute deadline day dealings. All this means is we start off unsettled at the start of the season and play catch up with settled sides who did their dealings early 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmine Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Understood Carmine. I wish the Spurs good fortune. Thankyou. Funny thing is, we won't struggle because we do have quality. For us its the huge frustration of knowing we're a couple of top quality signings short to compete at the top. The major reason that Bale can go next year with my blessing would be if Levy doesn't make a statement of the clubs ambition in this summers t/f window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 No doubt Bale sees this and is watching and waiting as well. This summer will tell us whether the chairman and his uncle have any interest in challenging for the top three places or not. If dross comes in and Bale leaves we will have our answer.

SinglePot Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 It's not easy for Tottenham. City, United, Chelsea have more cash. Arsenal have some too by the sound of it. There is also support for Arsene from the boss. Everton, Liverpool pushing from behind. Tricky for the Levy's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
