smokie36 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 The youtube link at the bottom of that article had me salivating....Soldado would be a perfect fit..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdOQ66PS2Vg&feature=player_embedded Much quicker in every sense than the lumbering Adebayor! But you already only have to pay Ade's wages....no extra outlay. I think it will be the dynamic duo again......cheap. That would be ridiculous. Even Levy must be able to see that.

mjj Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 The more I think about it the more I think Levy is a plank. Spurs are on the cusp of CL footie and have one of the best players in the world in their team. He has an option to buy a proven PL scorer wanting to play for Spurs that had youth on his side. So for the sake of £5m (if reports are true) he doesn't get him and will have probably put doubts of the clubs ambition into Bale. So now the plan is to go for a 28 year old unproven PL striker, that maybe a similar price?? IMO Benteke would have been the perfect choice for Spurs to break into the top 4. Now they just look like the same old Spurs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacknDanny Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yes he is Alfredo.....the talk amongst ourselves is about the possibility of moving Bale into CF....possibly buying a quality left winger and going with the three strikers in that way. I would prefer someone who plays just CF but its a decent option. +1Bale as cf with a winger either side and Pauliniho in behind sounds like good sense. Sounds Barmy to me Bale is world class doing what he does best. He is not and never will be a centre forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they just look like the same old Spurs. Turn the clock back 12 months. I had the exact same comments on here concerning players that Spurs were supposedly after. This year is even worse, because they have improved and they just needed that final piece. So what if they were overpaying for Benteke, he is what they needed. Levy is not a stupid man. I believe they have the money. Bentekes wages would have been on par with what they are paying Defoe, and significantly less than Adebayor . Benteke said he wanted to go to Spurs. He put in a transfer request. All the ducks were lined up. Yet Uncle Daniel manages to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. As I see it there are not that many alternatives...... Soldado maybe. Darren Bent? Why oh why does Daniel do it? And sorry, I say it again... Bale is NOT and never will be a centre forward. You would be taking your most effective and destructive player and playing him completely out of position. Madness!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iancnx Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I just read Paulinho's agent is also the agent for Barnard. I am assuming then that there is already a good relationship with Baldini. A positive. Keep the faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfieconn Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Being as Levy obviously doesn't want to pay more than 15m for a forward, why didn't we take a gamble on one of these : Heung-Min Son 8m Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 10-15m Wilfried Bony 12m Van Wolfswinkel 8-10m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
