Exactly. I mean, he has competition, who at various points in their careers were considered elite strikers, and he beat them out to the starting striker spot. He works harder than Ade, and scores more than Soldado. He is an example management can use to the academy, that if they are good enough...
This is really why I hope we put faith in him and not try to upgrade or whatever. He plays for the shirt. He wants to win, playing for spurs. He wants to be here. Not because we payed stupid money and then offered him a contract worth twice as much his current one. We haven't had to buy his...
As a player and talent, yep. As a professional, unfortunately no. We already got one moody c**t, no need to add another. And I worry with a seasoned vet, that they might not take to Poch's need for high workrates. Or even be able to do it. Not to mention the wages his experience would command...
Agree entirely that we need probably another option to take the burden of Kane, partner him in against certain teams, and in the situation he gets injured, take over up top. Sadly Soldado just hasn't worked (so sad, I love him). I just hope it a young talent that poch can develop to play his...
Im not suggesting that really. I was just voicing my opinion that atm we have that 1 goal in 2 games striker in Kane, who is young, English, and best of all a product of the spurs academy. If he had cost 25mil last August, was from somewhere exotic and played previously for (insert champions...
There is no guarantee unfortunately. Torres to chel$ki was a prem proven option, and really did not pan out despite having one of the best records in history. For every player we have over paid on for prem experience (bent, Bentley, jenas ect) we have gotten lucky on a foreign player who hit the...
Bony and Benteke came in with no experience in the prem and blew it up. Since Benteke's debut season, he has struggled, mostly due to injury but still, his best season statistically was his first. Same with Bony. This seasons stats will be skewed by his ACN tourney, but atm he is scoring at a...
I agree with that too. Hopefully this is where Mr Mitchel proves his worth. I really don't buy into the 'prem proven' ideology that get tossed out from time to time. The best players in the history of EPL have routinely come from overseas leagues with little or no experience of the EPL other...
Oh, please dont take what Im saying the wrong way, I agree with you. Bony or Benteke would be additions (hopefully). They are just really expensive. I feel if we dig a little, and take a bit of a risk, maybe we can get a bony or a benteke before they hit the prem, like we did with modders and...
Not just the player, but if you pay Bony or Benteke prices, ie 20-30mil, then that amount of outlay demands it too. That's not what you spend on an option, or a benchwarmer. That's an out and out face of your club. That guy is on your website, matchday program and every UnderArmour commercial...
I agree with competition. But with the money it will cost to pry either benteke or bony away to our club, that isn't competition, that's the money spent on a first choice replacement. I just feel that Kane can be that +20 goal striker we have craved for all this time. Best of all he tries his...
@thinktank I have agreed with everything you have said. But I still come back to this thing in my head... why spend 25 to 30mil on strikers like bony and benteke who currently score at a rate comparative to Kane? in terms of value, that ship has sailed, and if Levy is signing a cheque for more...
All I am trying to say is... we have a really good striker now. Like, he is the best we have had in a while. And he loves our team. And he came through the system. And doesn't piss of the manager. He actually listens to him. And according to ITK, gives a shit when other players invite the...
@HFCSPURS19 Nah, im not getting the wrong end of it, I understand what you are saying, im just in my state right now trying to play a little devils advocate. And maybe point out if you hear hooves, don't call zebra (an engineering term). We have guy knocking goals right now up front, and he is...
I normally just cruise through these threads and have a read. My message count backs that up. And more often than not I agree with a lot that the consensus has to say about players x y and z. But given it is xmas, im on my third xmas party, I am little pissed (actually a lot) and I really feel...
This. Also, as much as Dempsey may have seemed like a passenger in some games, he also had this knack of being on the end of a parried shot, or a rebounding ball. We need more of this to polish off the easy chances, especially against the bottom half of the table that will more than likely...
Tbh, it already has. I'm up all hours cos of the time difference. It was after some liquid courage (or 7 pfft) that I felt like posting. And the tinned goods isle is ok, but the hair care/ amenities isle works a treat. There are shelves and shelves of moisturiser and ky there... ;)
Hey guys, first time poster, long time watching these pages in particular. Watching these youtube compilations of Damiao (I live in Australia so Brazilian league isn't exactly on... anywhere really) one thing I notice immediately is that he seems to be a proponent of right place right time. And...
