Does anyone remember Tevez at West Ham before he started using them as a stepping stone to greater things? He was nothing, nothing came off, couldn't score to save his life, he didn't have the players around him. Now I'm not comparing Rodallega to Tevez in any way shape or form, completely different players but Rodallega is a striker, who's fast and strong and playing in one of the best leagues in the world, with Bale, Lennon, Adebayor, VDV and Modric all supplying him, he could be a real handful for many teams. Let's just see what happens if we do sign him instead of jumping on his back right away
 
Zamora for Pav would be about the only one of that bunch worth taking. Zamora can hold the ball up well which is what we need if Ade gets crocked. He's no prolific but then again neither is Ade.

Looks like we went in for Remy and Leandro but didn't come across with a big enough bid. It's good we are trying for these players and just maybe Levy might go back in with a bigger offer and pull the proverbial rabbit out of the whatever.

If we sign Ade on a perm. deal that would be decent business.
 
im getting excited about Rodallega, worth a punt

will be just our luck if he ends up somewhere else

Rodallega has had plenty of time to show what he's made of. It turns out he's made of poo.

If Pav played in every fcuking game like Ade does - I'm putting my **** on the block and saying he'd have 10 goals by now.

Everyone turns brick on the bench after 6 months and no match fitness - why invest in some useless cloggers who'd cost us wages to sit on the bench? How about players who can make a difference and fight/push for a starting spot instead, ones which have potential and are under 34 years old?

For me It's not about match fitness but effort. I appreciate that Pav feels badly treated and like he doesn't get a chance but then whenever he does get a chance he doesn't give Redknapp enough reasons to pick him again. Surely the minimum we can expect is some effort and workrate? If Pav added that to the obvious goalscoring talent he has then he would be rotating with Adebayor and sometimes even playing alongside him. I would swap Pavyluchenko for Rodellega in a heartbeat. He might not have as much talent as Pav but at least he puts himself about and tries to make things happen. Rodellega would also be more of a direct replacement for Adebayor in terms of him being able to play as the lone player up front, having a bit of pace and being prepared to run the channels.

How bizarre would it be if he played tonight against us and was a Spurs player a few hours later. I just can't see that happening. What if he bloody scored against us!! How crap a start would that be to your Spurs career.

If he doesn't line out tonight for Wigan then I'm turning over the SSN to see Jim White's head explode.
 
The agent of Roman Pavlyuchenko has rubbished reports claiming his client has suffered a falling out with the Tottenham coaching team, but he has refused to rule out the prospect of the Russian striker making a move before Tuesday's deadline.

QPR defender Matthew Connolly has joined Reading on loan, supports the suggestion that Khumalo is going elsewhere.

Leeds have confirmed Adam Smith joining them.

Everton have confirmed they have agreed a fee for Jelavic.

Lucho returns to Porto from Marseille.

Wigan are pretty brick themselves though arent they. Id be depressed playing for them, half empty ground every other week, no investment in the team etc

who knows what he might achieve at a club like Spurs,if the price is right bring him on down i tell thee
 
SSN claims Fulham will bid for Odemwingie after failing to land Barrios as replacement for Zamora.
 
BBC Sport's @philmcnulty says Louis Saha from Everton to Spurs #efc #thfc is a "done deal

Krasic is also possible, so we could end up with Saha and Krasic coming in on loan. Would definitely add more to our team, fresh faces, better depth, would probably see Pav and Pienaar move on too I'd imagine

Louis Saha to Spurs, Twitter going mental d'oh! :-S

If we do go for Saha who is 33, that will be going back on our progress by signing old players. Will be really disappointed if we sign any players who are over 30 except for the goalkeeper.
