No, it's just me as well!!! He's probably the ONLY one of the (too many) Spurs players to have left 'prematurely' that I would forgive and forget everything and welcome back... I KNOW he went on strike... I KNOW he sulked throughout the entire pre-season... but fudge me, Dimitar Berbatov & Van der Vaart just behind... with a rejuvenated Modric deciding to stay and supply the killer passes to Dimi... come on, who wouldn't want a piece of THAT pie?
Yaya Sanogo.
Indeed. I mentioned that up the thread a bit. Worth a gamble at a reduced price.
Clever to buy a player who is out for another 7-8 months.
We need two top quality strikers. One target man and one proper proper goalscorer. I guess it all depends on formations etc
So what does everyone think of Cardozo? Not seen much of him.
Absolutely terrible.
Deservedly spent his career down the pecking order behind the likes of RSC, Barrios and Valdez.
AVB plays 4-3-3, so if anything we need two #9s and a wide right forward e.g.:
--------------Ade
-----------(Leandro)
Bale-----------------------Remy/Sturridge
(Townsend)----------------(Lennon)
-------Rafa----------Moutinho
------(Sig)-----------(Hudd)
------------Sandro
------------(Parker)

Well in that case we got alot of work to do to bring in three forwards and a midfielder to replace luka. A lot of work n money obviously aided by the Modric sale
Maybe I'm stupid but push rafa forward ever so slightly and that's a 4231? Isn't that what we played last season? Do people honestly think avb will look at last seasons success playing how we did and still say fudge this we're playing 433? How can anyone say bale is a wide forward? Really baffles me some the brick wrote on here
Do we have the money to go out and sign a number 9 and two wing forwards then cos at the moment we have none of them
AVB's an ideolog. He'll play his system and play players who can fit into it; not create a system around what he has.

Ade will be cheap as he's in the last year of his contract now (the rumour of our option on him was £8m).
Most of our spending this summer will be funded by Modric's sale. We should also have the Krancjar, Corluka, Pav, Crouch and Palacios money still in the bank (c.£40m+).
