Tottenham gives 20 million for Fredy Guarin (Inter) On Writing

Tottenham, André Villas Boas, has twenty million ready to offer Inter average by Fredy Guarin, who has passed for FC Porto.

Inter, after a first phase in which Guarin considered putting on the market, had reconsidered the decision and ultimately decided that the midfielder could be on the roster, but the value proposition can make the Italians reconsider.

Villas Boas knows Guarin precisely the times of FC Porto, and feels it would be ideal to hire for the Spurs midfield.

I like Guarin, but 20m is steep and CM isn't our top priority.

A midfield is key, but not Guarin at £20m.

So begins a summer full of unfounded, 1+1=2 type links to players that used to be involved with AVB.... we should make a checklist/bingo card with all the names from past AVB teams

Agree with first part, disagree with second.

£20m is way too much, but centre mid is just as much a priority as a striker. No good getting a good striker if he's not going to be receiving anything from the middle. We can't just rely on knocking it out to the wingers all the time.

Edit: Guarin isn't this kind of player, not the creative type that we need.
