The all new Striker thread..

FIFA will cap it at 7,000 players per club :) I don't think those few clubs bigger than us, would be able to buy all the talent, just a lot of it.

All I'm saying is, imagine a future world where Spurs have hundreds of millions sloshing around. Not saying that it will happen, just saying imagine it; then I reckon we wouldn't bother trying to nurture a new forward, we would buy the likes of Embolo as soon as they show good signs in a different league as their price (risk) would be so cheap (low) to us e.g. the equivalent of £1m in today's 'risk profile'.

I agree there should be a cap (for the players sake more than anything else).....But where is it really getting them (eg City & Chelsea)? They've obviously reasoned it out but what is their goal. Surpressing their rivals? Slipping round FFP? At the sharp end, ie the first XI what is the benefit?

I suspect it's partly to suppress others and partly as a backup in case they fall foul of FFP - it's like a new signing with no cost.
 
We should be looking for someone about 1.4m who could get on the end of our usual corners. Benteke is far too tall for us we haven't got anybody who can cross a high ball.

Thank christ AVB didn't get his way and bring him in as well.... (mind you he probably would've been no worse than Soldado).

Our interest in him pre dated AVB and would point to him being a club target rather than manager specific (like Jenas/Vertonghen etc)
 
Agbonlahor?

He impresses in patches. Not exactly prolific.

But he is available, has strength and pace, and being that he is already benched wont mind sitting it out for Harry a fair bit (a point that needs to be considered when floating potential names)

Plus some potential they may suit as a pair.
