Newcastle offering only 8 million, need to jump in and beat them to it.

Might be enough. Does look like he wants to leave. There's a rumour going around that he has cancelled his Audi lease from Twente.

Why aren't Spurs interested in Chadli? He scored twice against Spurs in CL, one being a very beautiful freekick.

Fucks sake Newcastle have bid 10 mill for,luuk de jong and twente are accepting!!!!!

I know we shouldn't panic etc but what the fuck are we doing??? We have 1 striker at the club in Defoe!!!!!

Luuk de Jong is full of promise and could be a potential star in the making. Being 21 he would no doubt be more than happy to play a squad role and learn his trade in the prem.

Pls dear god lets hope levy somehow has an eye on the market still. Just get the feeling we are really starting to all behind.

Based on Newcastle's recent history of talent spotting, the fact they've bid for him means we should just offer an extra million on top! Or just offer the same and hope he is attracted to the bigger club!

I don't get what the huge fuss is about DeJong. He's OK, but not exactly a world beater. I wouldn't piss myself if he ended up in our squad, but I'd be a bit miffed if he ended up our number 1.

Now that JJ knows about it is anyone else expecting a **Sky Sports breaking news - Spurs offer £9m for De Jong** story in the next 10 minutes?

Not the worst news. We just match the bid and let the player choose (with Rafa having been whispering in his ear all Euros)

he certainly seems like a talented player BUT i would prefer Huntelaar or Leandro over Luuk

I think it's that there's a very limited number of affordable decent strikers available (we already missed out on Giroud) and he's at the stage in the career where he'd be ok being a backup for the first choice striker for a bit. More of a Pav/Defoe replacement to fill out the ranks rather than an Adebayor replacement, I'd expect.

Yeah, not a guy you buy instead of a 15-20 million striker but one you buy in addition to him.

Plus he'd cost half of Leandro.

I'm okay with us letting this one go as long as we don't go in for Damiao.

De Jong is at least equal if not better to Leandro, and he's not overhyped and overpriced.

But we need to get active in the transfer market and quickly.

Not sure Leandro is worth twice as much (considering this is a young back-up #9 we are talking about).

Huntelaar would more be an alternative to Ade, but I just don't think he's good enough/would be suited to this league.

Afellay is Arsenal bound if RVP stays, they are besties apparently. KJH wants to stay at Schalke because they're in CL. Seedorf is heading to Brazil. Botafogo are wealthy and his wife is Brazilian.

Spurs should go for both de Jongs. Nigel and Luuk.

affelay said he wants to stay at Barca
