Why would we want Mulumbu? I know that he's a very talented player but bearing in mind that we have both Parker and Modric do we really need another defensive midfielder?

Another example of our club being cited to increase likliehood of other clubs expressing interest in players?

Agents love using us in the media, but I don't really see how it creates any more interest in the player. How many clubs use newspaper articles as the basis for their transfer targets?

Sandro, Livermore, Modric, Parker.

We wouldn't need Mulumbu. Sure he's better than Livermore but he'd be on much higher wages and Livermore is hardly a starter and doubt he even cares that he's not.

Besides Livermore is just 22 and will get better. And there is also Hudd

Raises the players profile, more clubs might consider whether he is worth persuing if they think that he is available as a potential transfer target. Clubs who may have a level of interest may also want to act more quickly lest they should lose out on the signing to a rival club.
 
West Brom have approached Robert Green's agent about the West Ham keeper signing on a free transfer (Daily Mail)

Yes please.
 
HARRY REDKNAPP reckons he is closing in on a defensive pass master in Jan Vertonghen.

TottenhamÔÇÖs boss insists a ?ú14million deal for the Belgian defender is still a little way off.

Redknapp said: ÔÇ£JanÔÇÖs a terrific passer and versatile too. He can play at the heart of defence but also plays very comfortably at left-back.

ÔÇ£I hope a deal is done but I donÔÇÖt think itÔÇÖs quite finished yet.ÔÇØ

?ú14mil. Thats a little bit over the odds, no?
Quite impressed with his passing tonight I'd have to admit.
 
Haven't seen Verts before today - is he a little bit short on pace? Wasn't paying full attention to the game.
 
Who: Harry Snapper Organs (COYS)
Where: FTL (via COYS)
When: 2nd Jun 3pm (BST)

from glennspurs on ftl:
5m ish is our bid (james tomkins), not for me
 
El Guepardo said:
I didn't include either of Hudd or Modric as I see them playing a different role to that offered by Mulumbu. I think that Livermore is of a lower quality but he did an excellent job for us last season when he came in.

I think we really need to look to improve the key areas, that we have all discussed first; strikers, defenders, goalkeepers, reserve winger and then maybe a midfielder

Shouldn't include Livermore then. He's not a defensive midfielder.

Can somebody give me a rundown of Llorente's strengths and weaknesses? Maybe a player his game is similar to as well?

I've never seen him play except for on Youtube and he's pretty good on that.

His strengths, he can finish with both feet, isn't slow, is an intelligent mover who can dominate the channels as well as the 18 yard box. Is a strong finisher from anywhere in the box, not just poaching (which he is also very good). His main strengths however are his ability to head the ball, and to dominate defenders. He is amazing at both, he can link and score with his head, each of them 10 times as well as Crouch. As I say he can also dominate supremely well - such that I would compare him best to Drogba. No, I never said he was as good as, but he is similar. He can really bully defenders, and be clinical. Some players are 8/10 at their very best, but consistently a 6/10. Llorente (in the 10-15 games I've seen) is consistently an 8, often hitting a 9.

His weaknesses - maybe his lack of pace, like I said, not slow..but not quick exactly. That's about all I can think of, he is such an outstanding footballer. I'd be shocked if we got him. He's worth 40 or 50m in my opinion.

No chance, seeing as his wage demands are more than Ade is currently on, and there'd be a ?ú30m transfer fee.

Only if you think Ashley Young is short on pace, as he had the measure of him.

Perhaps Andy Carroll but more skillful. Not as mobile or quick as Ade though.
