You might be wright or wrong, but no need to come across as a know all.
Llorente and Benzema please
How many times does it have to be repeated for some people to wake up to the reality: We Will Not Sign Fernando Llorente!
We did not pay Roma their quote for Vucinic, yet we are ready to shell out 2-3 times as much on Llorente, who isn't even for sale? Please, stop deluding yourselves.
Again, Bilbao has no use for Daniel Levy's money because they cannot directly reinvest it in their first team. Their new president will not sell one of the greatest players in their club's history for whatever (likely) low-ball offer we present. Furthermore, if they did make him available, numerous other teams of greater stature than us would offer the same transfer fee and offer him triple the wages.
It's a pipe dream, even more so than signing Kun Aguero.
We had two legitimate chances to sign quality strikers tagged semi-reasonable fees given the market rate: Luis Suarez in January and Mirko Vucinic in June. We lost out on both. Now, we will simply have to deal with going through the league with what we have, or a marginal upgrade like Odemwingie. The only question remaining is, what incentive do Bale, Modric, and Van der Vaart have to stay in 2012-2013 when we likely don't offer Champions League Football, nor the wages that their future suitors will present. Will Levy block moves for all of them, like he did for Modric this summer?
Shanks info is interesting but his last piece of itk was so awful that Im not sure I just cant trust it. He claimed a while back (few ago) that Forlan was at the lodge having a medical Eek Quite clearly that didnt happen!
Firstly, my apologies, as I briefly edited my above post to add Odemwingie's name again! I know you don't like to see that, but I think he's a very realistic buy late in the window who can help us preserve a top 6 spot.
As for the rest of my post, Istated my opinion, much like when I said repeatedly that Vucinic would sign with Juventus according to all available and relevant evidence. I believe you had a hard time believing that too.
Crouch to sunderland apparently.
Samba in.
Llorente replacement for Crouch (have no idea what this llorente is or plays like or whether its a like for like replacement).
Just on the phone getting some info now, I'll post it as I hear it, do what the hell you like with it.
goat it
shanks - do you work for THFC or am i reading that wrong?
Wow you predicted he would join another Club who were in the running for him...well done you :wink:
Yes its your opinion but its the same negative talk every time you post, I dont know about anybody else but its tiring - no offence.
6 foot 6 and scores more headers than anyone else in the major european leagues. Strong and can shoot but rarely scores more than 13 or 14 a season. Not the prolific hitman but much better version of the player crouch is meant to be.
Really don't think so mate, I'm a bit worried about posting the rest that I deleted.
Nah I don't work for Spurs, I wish I did though!!
My little boy has a two day session with some scouts at Spurs though in a few weeks.
He could be a cracker of a goalkeeper when he's older ;-)
That's because he will be about 9ft tall :lol:
I'm off to play myself tonight, little non league preseason freindly. Someone tell Harry!!
I'm will to bet anyone 10,000vcash that we will not sign Llorente this TW
Anyone wishing to take me up on that can PM me and I'll see you in the vbookie thread for some action!
P.s. In no way a snipe/dig at Shank's info.
