    This ones nasty.

    Barca about to have a press conference because it looks like Tito is stepping down. Guess who's favorite with the bookies for the job. You guessed it, AVB.

    At anyone in general really, not you alone or specifically but you would be included in the list of general forum posters who frequent this spurs supports club thread.

    It's frustrating isn't it?

    Who knows what is happening but avb certainly won't turn down job offers like Barcelona if he is not getting his targets at spurs

    Very much so but then again, that's kinda the premise on which threads like this are built on. Its gossip, conjecture and general pot luck. That's just the nature of the beast unfortunately.

    Ah jaysus, this is frustrating. Nailed on they said, done by the end of the week they said. They got the bloody team wrong though! So it looks like whoever leads the line at the start of the season is going to be either Defoe or Ade or some unknown, or maybe a big surprise (though I don't hold much hope for that)

    This Barca thing could work in our favour and force Levy to splash some cash to keep AVB

    Never seen any direct quotes or anything of substance that made me think the Benteke deal was a runner so I didn't have my hopes up unlike I did with Villa.


    Money follows money and with Cavani, Negrado and Jovetic on the move recently, it only makes sense that Rooney, Sauraz, huigain, etc will move amount the big clubs with the money. We could never compete with the big 4 in the EPL, barce, RM, Bayern and now PSG and Monaco.

    Plenty of time for us to sign another Clint Dempsey or that infamous striker who was once the 'top goal scorer at the uefa u-23 championships in 2009' and hasn't scored a dozen goals since.

    Huntelaar
    Yilmaz
    Soriano
    (Altidore)
    Demba Ba
    Gomez
    Edin Dzeko
    Remy

    Would all be decent signings.

    6 in 14. Not bad for a relegated team.

    Not sure of his situation regarding the rape arrest.

    How much of a step up fom Defoe/Ade is Remy. Very little. Certainly no 20+ goals a season striker.

    If we want another player who scores 10, 12 or 14 goals a season sure we might as well bid for Bent or Crouch.

    I wasn't sold on Bentekke. Demba Ba is a much better player and he has hardly set the world alight at Chelsea. Remy would be handy if we sold Ade/Defoe but he isn't the answer IMO.

    DO you think Dzeko could be an option? He was unreal at wolfsberg, id say wages could be an issue again.

    He is on over 150k i would say so we can forget about it.

    We will likely have Defoe / ade / bent :-)

    Unless we can convince them to part fund his wages on a loan type deal a la Ade deal a few years ago.

    Unlikely though.

    Best we can hope for is our scouts unearth the next Berba or similar.

    whats the story with yer man Fred, he scored quite a few in the CONCAF recently, think I recall he went a bit off the wall a few years ago. Quit football or something and is back playing in Brazil. Might be wrong on that one, it was on wiki. Probably too much of a risk.

    I think he's signed for a club in Russia or something?

    Huntelaar is the best on the list. 77 goals in 117 games for Schalke (many of them in the Chanpions League) speaks for itself. He's a top quality target man - ideal for a 4-3-3. I'd pay A LOT for him, even though he's pushing 30. He signed a new contract in 2012 but, given his age, a bid of £15-20m should get him.

    Pushing 30? Time really does fly.
