Re: The summer transfer thread, Dembele pg 1277 #Levytime

Once again everyone is dismissing Defoe as a player who can score goals. I believe he scored 17 goals last season???? mainly from coming off the bench.

It's really concerning me that we may end up staying with Defoe as one of our options. As good a player he is in the right system, it clearly isn't in AVB's but there are some whispers that we will stick with what we have if we can't get any deals done for upfront.

AVB has a very clear idea of which players will work in his system, I just can't believe Defoe is one of them.

Not dismissing him. Just don't think he is right for what AVB demands from his players, regardless of what he might have said about him. Not saying get rid (even if I think he is increasingly likely to go) but am suggesting we need a more dynamic option to strengthen our attacking options. If we did bid for Leandro then it seems AVB agrees

It's all gone very quiet on the Llorente front, especially considering that Juve are interested in Berbatov...

Giovani will stay at Tottenham, says @martindelp. AVB is keen for Gio to stay and he will get games. More info (in Spanish) on his TL. #thfc

Strong rumours in Germany that van der Vaart to HSV is all but done now. We'll see...

This has put a damper on my Dembele celebrations.

If Rafa goes I will seriously be depressed, more interested in him staying then bringing anybody else in tbh

VDV is such a class player. This is why I worry about our firepower. We are making an awful lot of changes and hoping they work Would feel more comfortable keeping a player of VDV's quality and experience.
 
Re: The summer transfer thread, Dembele pg 1277 #Levytime

I reckon we'll sign a striker but not a 20mill player like people are suggesting but a squad player ala Saha who can play that position leading the line. Wouldn't be surprised with someone like Kevin Doyle

It might not be as bad as you think. While I share concerns about depth in these areas we do have Sigurdsson, Bale and Adebayor as proven premiership firepower and Lennon/Dembele as premiership players with goals in them.
