Shane Long

[Spurmac1974]

Been saying it for years, think he would be perfect for us. Good squad player and impactful off the bench.
Don't think the Saints will deal with us though.

I cant see him choosing to come here over Liverpool and be just backup to Kane in the months before the only International Tournament he'll likely ever play in. I don't think he wants to play out wide again. Liverpool will likely offer a bigger wage too.
He can easily be Liverpool's first choice striker for the rest of the season.

He suits either manager's style. Very quick and very good at pressing from the front.
The other thing is I cant see Southampton selling to Levy.

I'm sure I read he was a Spurs fan years ago

Not for me, 38 goals in 191 Prem games is not good enough.

 

[Jordinho]

Why would we want to sign a striker that doesn't score and until the last few weeks the fans of his current club were desperate to get rid of? They'd still happily sell him as long they got a decent fee.

 

[Eatmyownbrainwithaspork]

Not for me at all. Berahino for one is utterly different class when he's on his game...

 

[DubaiSpur]

I actually wouldn't mind him: I've always liked him, chases lost causes ferociously and never gives up. Bit limited technically, but a very hard worker. Sort of like an inferior, striker version of Holtby.

 

[We are Tottenham]

a Long shot ....but ...anyway's LOL would be nice to sign him.

 

[Spurmac1974]

He's very underrated by Saints fans, I'm telling you he would be a star for us but unfortunately would be treated like a gimp if he did come. Walters could do a great job as well

I actually think Walters would be a great back up for us
Hard working, physical presence, can lead the line and drift wide and...........his shooting for 16 yards plus is outstanding, and that is where we take most of our shots from.
He is about as close to a poor man's Kane as there is

 

[Baleforce]

with SCBC signing Austin maybe they will let Long go

Could be a long shot but worth a try

Don't let the door hit you on the way out

 

[paxtonwolf]

We've made worse signings

 

[AdamB]

Need a CF in Jan of any quality. My money is on Lambert turning up in the last 48 hours of the window

 

[Jordinho]

He's probably long gone.
