I think there is method in the madness...he uses B&Y after discussing Adebayor...you could take that as he was simply indicating Adebayor is B&Y...but in a subtle way, thinking most would make the assumption you've just made.

I think he's being clever again...perhpas the blue part is half...because we are signing him on loan, he does use the word initially which implies there could of been hope of securing the player on a permanent (rules out the likes of Benzema) or just that there will be an option to buy.

He also could of been so sure all along because he's been told that Adebayor wants to come and of course the player himself said so in January...despite what comes out in the media about him holding out for Madrid.

Either way when did POTL mention B&Y and Adebayor in the same post, was it after Harry confirmed we were trying?

Wouldn't be one bit surprised if B&Y is simply Adebayor.

Or it could all be balls :grin:

It was some time ago now, Cannot remember if Harry had mentioned him by then, I think he had thats why POTL mentioned Adebayor.

Or it could be POTL covering all the bases if we sign a striker :wink:

Nilmar is 27. I honestly thought he was a lot younger. I wouldnt have wet pants if we got him, dont really see him as an out and out Striker, im sure hes often deployed as a winger.

I personally think potl was using blue and yellow as a cryptic for the B and the Y. He realised people were so focussed on the colours he stopped using the term and then just used the letters. B and Y

This is clearly 2 players

I was told we were searching for a Big name striker and a Young exciting striker.

Anyone catching on yet?

Big and Young. B and Y

I rest my case your honour

THIS. I would rep you Ryan but cannot on my iPhone sorry

Sorry whos Nilmar? Never heard of hime, any good, any need for him?

Not seen too much of him either. Forward/winger who has had a few Brazil caps and not a bad goal return 9 in 23 apps and 21 in 64 for Villareal

nah this season hes mainly played up front with Rossi, or on occasion Just behind him in a SS role.

From recollection Nilmar would have played with Sandro maybe only a couple of times.

As much as i like Brazilian strikers and would love to see one at Spurs i'm just not sure Nilmar is the player we need, but then to be honest beggars can't be chosers and he's a decent option at this point.

Tell you what, this guy judging by youtube clips (I know!) looks brilliant on the ball, and has scored some amazing goals. Can play as a winger as well...

With our CM options atm, I'd take Joey Barton on a free... (not ITK, just on his release)

Nilmar managed 11 league goals last season and Zarate 9 ... fills me full of enthusiasm, not.

Nilmar is a completely different player to Pavlyuchenko but they both have 1 important thing in common .... their both inconsistent (1 moment of brilliance followed by half a dozen games of nothing).
