So JJ as well now saying it could be very soon. Hopefully this is Actually going to happen at last! I must say I never thought it would, he better be worth all the hassle;)

Even if we do sign him it might still not be worth the hassle if he is a dud.

I can't see what's in it for Internacional to sell us him before the the Confederations Cup.

Surely the price they could demand if he has a good tournament will be much more than it is now?

If he's as good as he is supposed to be then the chances of him having a good tournament are very high

I think that Mr Levy needs to show intent during this transfer window and sign Damiao as soon as possible! That way hopefully Gareth will see that we are going in the right direction and remain a spurs player! I'd still be looking at Villa as well! Lets hope we have some happy transfer news this weekend then chaps! ;)

I was unconvinced about Leandro until I watched him play in the Olympics. He's an outright poacher who scores crappy goals and does very little else. We haven't had one of those since Lineker. If he signs I don't think he'll ever be a fan favourite but he will score 20 goals a season.

Maybe their getting as fed up of the whole thing as we are, and just want a resolution. Their trying to sign Nilmar, so I'm presuming they will need cash to do that deal.

Exactly! I have a feeling he will come good if he arrives, I think he will need an experienced striker to help guide him a little. Someone like ooooh maybe David Villa:) yeh I think he would do.

If he gets 20 goals a season I will love him long time!

David Villa. Hmmm. Intersting suggestion. I'll give Levy a call.

Good. Other clubs should think twice before trying to buy our best players.

This has been exactly the problem when we've been trying to flog, bentley, jenas, thud, Pav, bassong etc. Not always a good thing not having people to deal with.

We had an English version of one of them called Darren Bent. Maybe people will love it because he's Brazilian though.

We didn't love Darrendo Bentiao though.

the last time we signed a striker i didn't know too much about he turned out to be the messiah before selling him to ManPoo

Note that i had already seen a fair bit crouch, bent, defoe Mk2, ade, keane Mk2

Pav doesn't count.
