This, I'm all for city stealing arse's best players but signing Walcott is like taking GDS!!

I don't get the Willian thing.

Clearly there is a limit to what we can spend and if I were AVB, given the 4-2-3-1 formation he plays and given that we have Bale and Lennon and that Siggy can do a job from a wide position, I'd rather add Lloris, Moutinho and Dzagoev before spending the best part of £20m on Willian. Just can't see us doing all four, even if the speculation is correct that Lennon and Rafa might be on their way.

And if Moutinho isn't really an option, I still don't see that Willian comes into the equation - I just think Dembele would then be used in a more advanced position and he'd stick with two from Parker, Sandro and Livermore in front of the back 4.

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas wants to sign 25-year-old Portugal midfielder Joao Moutinho from Porto and Russia striker Alan Dzagoev, 22, from CSKA Moscow, but could lose Jermain Defoe, 29, and Rafael van der Vaart, 29.

this would be fantastic business. two older players out, two really amazing young players in.

if we got top money for defoe and VdV, i would be delighted with this outcome.

Think we'll get Afellay rather than Willian. Think that makes a lot more sense

He is meant ot replace Lennon as a wide forward - something which the latter is not very comfortable performing in a 4-3-3
 
Re: 1060 pages and a striker, 1173 byebye Modric, Medical reports pg 1244

Affelay is a painfully average footballer - no better than Lennon - why the excitment?

Willian is a much, much stronger option

How many times have you seen Willian play?


Oh and Southampton have signed that Zambian striker AS kept going on about. Let's see if he's any good..
 
Re: 1060 pages and a striker, 1173 byebye Modric, Medical reports pg 1244

a loan deal for Affelay may well sanction a big money move for Moutinho. I think a trio of Moutinho, Sandro and Dembele is very very good.

Also intrigued with Siggy. We could feasibly play Sandro, Dembele and Sig.

Mate, no way in hell we are signing Moutinho. Time to close that chapter once and for all - we cannot afford him.
 
Re: 1060 pages and a striker, 1173 byebye Modric, Medical reports pg 1244

Thinking
Lloris
Walker Kaboul Vertonghen Ekotto
Sandro Moutinho Dembele
Affelay Adebayor Bale

Theoretically a very decent sounding side. Could do some real damage. Please Daniel make it happen. But don't you dare sell Lennon!

I wouldn't even think about dropping Sig for Moutinho. Sig is a goalscoring threat and Moutinho and Dembele would be playing the same role.

I really see Dembele as more forward thinking than Moutinho. I like that Moutinho is one of AVB's men. I think its an important point. One who will help sell the AVB philosophies within the squad.

Also... props to you sir. It would seem you have Levy's ear. You wanted Parker, you got him. You wanted Siggy, you got him. You wanted Moussa, hopefully we will get him.

VDV's being shipped out to make room for a deadline day Kaka swoop as part of our agreement

For those not that impressed with Afellay what is it they don't like? I mean he earned a move to Barca so must have some talent?

Having not seen him much, what's he like?
