Interesting take on this from Sports Witness.

http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/...h-striker-s-father-to-secure-tottenham-signin

A conversation alleged to be between Jose Mourinho and Chelsea's head honcho for youth Michael Emenalo is relayed with the manager allegedly saying "I should punish you, because you didn't inform me that there was such a player in Europe."

Yeah right.

Tottenham are said to have also met Kramaric's dad, with Franco Baldini trying to sell the club to them as a stepping stone to one of Europe's greats. It's stated that when Karamric's father negotiated with Baldini, the latter 'mentioned one more thing; if anyone knows how to sell a player, then it is these Jews from North London
That article is BS, Chelsea have been tracking him for years

Why do Juve need him, they've about 8 strikers lol

Off the top of my head - Tevez, Llorente, Morata, Giovinco, Coman, Beradi (wonder kid out on loan) and others out on loan.

Juventus are to strikers as Chelsea are to attacking midfielders. What a shower.

They will most likely loan him straight to a lower Serie A team such as Atlanta, Empoli or Verona.

Coman is more of AM not a striker bruv same with giovinco whos really winger or AM. The rest are actual strikers get your facts straight.

This one is a tricky case: is he a 1-season wonder of will just keep getting better...? Fex. Rebic, who looked so promising while at RNK Split, is now on loan to RB Leipzig in 2. Bundesliga, where he's played 2 games and scored 0 goals.

True, but conversely, the last two Croatian youth products we skipped on are now at Barcelona and Leverkusen (loan) on merit. We all know good n well what became of the last one we actually did pull the trigger on.

This line popped out at me about the israeli we are apparently looking at. "Zahavi, capped 23 times, has scored 50 goals in 61 games for his club." WHAT?!?!? 50 in 61?!?!?! That's insane

I'll be honest, I've long hoped to see a Jewish player at Spurs. The interaction between him and the fans and the inevitable throngs of "yiddo" would just be incredible to watch.

If we did that any more to a Jewish player than any other Spurs player I would be incredibly uncomfortable.

In a fairly weak Israeli league. Didn't have much luck in Italy before that. Would certainly still represent a significant risk for a side from one of the top leagues.

Well I'm sorry to hear that, and I didn't mean to suggest they'd be any more exaggerated than usual.

Yeah, it would certainly be a risk. But, still 50 in 61 is kinda ridiculous. I wouldnt be surprised to see a lower PL side fighting relegation take a punt with him though as long as he comes cheap.
