Please let's keep the postmortem on today's game to the OMT

 

[Modric THFC]

Anyone else suspect the Adebayor and Soldado deals are done but we're holding them up until we bring someone in?

Yep

I think this too just wish we would announce it soon as we desperately need more than we currently have

 

[Denmark Spur]

Watched Ajax – Rapid Wienna on danish telly tonight.

The commentator said that Spurs was one of several clubs keeping an eye on Wiennas 24-year old Slovenian striker Robert Beric, who scored the first goal of the game.

3 years ago, he scored Maribors 2 goals against Spurs in the Europa League group stage. Spurs have been scouting him ever since.

Last season he scored an impressive 27 goals in 33 league matches for Wienna.

Just thought I would share.

Anders Lindegaard Is been given a free by Man Utd ? Is this true ?? Surely selling vorms back to Holland for a few small beans and getting this lad is a no brainer ?? Two times I seen him play and both times a shambles .. Woeful keeper .. Just saying .. Just watching him today .. Zero confidence in him

If you think Vorm is bad, have a look at Lindegaard...

They could be

With Rapid progressing tonight, its highly unlikely they will sell him before the final CL-qualifier.

But it could be one for the final days of the transfer window if in case we really are interested.

I don't think he wud be as bad as vorm .. Luckily we have lloris for now but no top 4 next season and we will struggle with psg lol !! Still psg will pay world record fee to us for a goalie . More money for levy to hoard away

 

[Baleforce]

Anyone else suspect the Adebayor and Soldado deals are done but we're holding them up until we bring someone in?

I dunno, we don't seem to making any effort to keep either match fit or involved with the first team

I just posted in another thread that it's equally conceivable the hold up isn't us, even more so with Ade, he's not playing again for us even in an emergency, I expect we just want him
off the wage bill above all else

I quite like Lindegaard too............. on a free would be a no brainer!

we do end up buying players who score against us e.g. mabizela

Would be funny (sad, actually) if Rapid make it to the group stages and he turns us down for CL football. With Rapid ffs!

Soldado deal is held up because Villareal is not willing to meet our asking price. I'm not surprised. £11m does seem a lot for a misfiring 30-year old who will have no resale value.

Ade is a whooole 'nother story! I wouldn't even venture a guess as to what's going on there!

Is this Lindegaard or Vorm you're talking about here?

As someone who's watched him since he was playing in Norway, no more than a third choice keeper.

No .. Dragged out to fudge to get best deal money wise .. Levy in his element here .. On top of that bidding penny's instead of pounds to get our targets .. I reckon we well down list of targets at his stage and still can't sign any
