Re: The 1060 pages and finally a striker summer transfer thread

im looking at pictures of Niang and the hairstyle does look almost indentical, and the tone of his skin is prety much spot on. That said, where are they sitting? doesnt look like the West stand posh bit does it, could be anyone!

edit - actually Niangs skint tone is a bit darker, so it probably isnt him! And anyway didnt Everton agree a fee with Caen?

Milan as well. Next it's City, then Arsenal.

I couldn't work that out myself. Niang is a good shout but I thought he was signing for Everton?

It was reported as "will happen" but not official yet.

Has there been any indication of this from Everton? Or is this just paper talk?

yeh thats what I just read. we would have known by now if term or a fee had been agreed surely if he was at the lodge on Friday and the game on Saturday?

Re: The 1060 pages and finally a striker summer transfer thread

I guess it is just paper talk. If it is him then he isn't as close to Everton as papers have suggested. On another thing Sahin gone to Pool, expect arsenal to move for M'Villa because their business isn't done.

Re: The 1060 pages and finally a striker summer transfer thread

We need another midfielder. fcuk we need 2 midfielders. another Modric type player, a winger, goalie and another striker. i think we will get 2 more in. 4 would be too much dollar

Re: The 1060 pages and finally a striker summer transfer thread

Well whoever this guy is, he was at the Lodge Friday and at the game today - must be quite advanced?

Re: The 1060 pages and finally a striker summer transfer thread

At the moment my opinion on what we might do this final week fluctuates massively. The way the window has gone we will either do mad amounts of business next week, or watch everything fall apart as has happened previously. Todays game at least would have emphasized the need to strengthen in key areas, especially as you say in going forward. We lack options and creativity. But basically this window is ridiculous now, never thought we'd be in this position so just want it to hurry up and close.

well thats the thing, he could be anyone. if its not Niang, then I dont think its a footballer as we wont sign someone out of the blue who we are not linked with (well I dont think we would anyway).

But we have got rid of a fair few, and like AVB said after the match it gets frantic in the last couple of days so no doubt there will be more departures meaning more vacant spaces and more money coming in. I think we will get a minimum of 3 more, I just got a feeling Levy is prepared to back AVB a lot more than Redknapp and that is another reason why Levy didn't allow Redknapp to spend too much....

Re: The 1060 pages and finally a striker summer transfer thread

I hope so, just need one of those to be massive signings. A Moutinho would be good but unlikely, a Damiao again unlikely. Just need a massive signing to make a massive difference I think someone that can do something in a game to open it up, or someone that can dictate a game.

Re: The 1060 pages and finally a striker summer transfer thread

Harr1984 I hope you are right on that. But scrambling around in the last week is risky, don't want to hear any more 'we tried but the chairman just couldn't make it work' or having to hear AVB basically lie that we are perfectly fine. If we want to maintain our top 4 place we have to strengthen.

Yeah what Nayim said could well be right, might not be a footballer at all! He does have that footballer look about him though, and those guys who are with him look like his representatives but we shall soon find out I guess.....

Agree. I reckon we are in a better position regarding our targets than most of here think in that we have outlined our targets along with back up options, we know roughly what they will cost but Levy of course is going to wait until the usual circus kicks off in the final two/three days to get them in. I know it's not ideal, but for some reason I have more faith in the AVB/Sherwood/Levy recruitment drive than the Redknapp/Levy one. And I wouldn't be too hard on Levy, most clubs bar the super rich wait until the final couple of the days for a lot of their transfers,not just us.....

Niang' skin tone appears to be a tad bit darker than the guy in the stands do you not think?

true, otherwise it would be called Sky Sports Spurs Deadline Day! Every club works on deadline day!

Re: The 1060 pages and finally a striker summer transfer thread

Doesnt look any different to me. Looks like it could well be him.

Or as I said earlier, could be someone who has never kicked a ball before.

Dont forget there is very different lighting between the two pictures

Yeah I agree, lets hope its a successful final week for us...
