Marcelo Brozovic

[Dharmabum]

Lets agree that you're putting words in my mouth. I said he looked OK on a Youtube vid, I didnt claim to know the player or that I had seen him play, you're the one ruling out a player that you probably haven't seen play. If you really think we're going to fill out our squad with the likes of "Pastore, Willian, Jackson Martinez and Thomas Muller" you're living in cloud cuckoo land.

First of all, I thought you would get it - but you didn't - when I clearly was sarcastically quoting the players the press had mentioned Spurs were after (i.e Pastore, Jackson etc) and never mentioned I thought they are reasonable targets.
However, I don't think it's less reasonable to sign any of those players than to believe Brozovic will become a star at Spurs.
PS! Almost any player can look "OK" on youtube

Love how you've twisted this around to a discussion about how good Brozovic is, when clearly neither of us have clue. You seem to have got it into your head that I think "he will become a star at Spurs". I thought someone like you would take into account that sometimes we sign players for the Development Squad, and that this could be the case. My point was, how can you dismiss a couple of players that you know very little about, yet moan that we dont get the 'Benteke' and 'Michu' type signings? So far you haven't been able to answer that. I think it's alot more sensible to keep an open mind about these types of signings, rather than dismiss them as not good enough, when you haven't even seen them play!!

My opening post was meant as a pun; about how the press had linked us with super stars one day to jump to "ordinary" players the next (I listed those player the press had written up and not players I said I thought Spurs would buy) - everyone else on this board except you seem to have understood that. Now you have turned pun into serious matters. Where did I moan about Spurs not getting the Benteke or Michu? Besides, both were already established players by the time the joined the EPL. Michu was in fact rumoured to go to ManU before Swansea got him. Benteke made his debut for Belgium when he was 20.
If you are so strongly convinced that Brozovic would turn into a hit should he sign for Spurs you must have some knowledge about him other than youtube, and should write Levy/Andre about it.

Are you even reading my posts properly? No offence but I'd rather trust in Franco Baldini's knowledge of Football than some guy on an internet forum. As for writing a letter to Levy/AVB? hahahaha thats probably something you would do, not me, I have faith that they know what they're doing.

You obviously know something I didn't know, i.e. that Baldini see Brozovic as a future star and soon will convince Levy/Andre to make a bid. Sweet music to Levy's ears, a potential star for only £1,5m

Eh?? The original post says Brozovic is a former Roma target, that is now a Spurs target, doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out he's probably a player Baldini likes. What is this obsession you have with players being signed as "future stars", do you think we signed Grant Hall thinking he would be a "future star"? No, we signed him as a player that has some potential and because we were short on numbers in that position, something you cant seem to get your head round.

So you heard from Baldini that he liked him while he was employed by Roma? It's you who're going on and on about Brozovic as if you really believe he's a top quality player, not me.
Why on earth did you bring in Grant Hall in this equation? Btw, Hall has yet to even play a game for Spurs - he was not even stop gap emergency CB vs Monaco - despite of Spurs being short in numbers, so what is there to to get a head around. Or you mean Spurs should buy Brozovic just in case Spurs may run out of CMF during next season?

1)I just told you why it makes sense that he is probably a Baldini target
2) "Going on and on about Brozovic being a top quality player"? Where in any of my posts have I said he's "top quality"? I said he looks a talent, meaning he has potential. I have also added that I made that judgment based on the Youtube Vid I posted, and dont claim to have seen him play.
3) I mentioned Grant Hall because he was a similar price (1.5M) and a similar age 20/21, that we SIGNED for the Development/NextGen squad.
Anyway, I'm going to leave this conversation here, you dont take on board valid points, and dont make any of your own. All you do is make bitchy little comments like "So you heard from Baldini that he liked him while he was employed by Roma?" so I cant be fucked to chat to you. I'll leave you in peace to post your threads on players like Kaka being linked to Spurs.

Hall is at Swindon so couldn't have played against Monaco

 

[theShiznit]

Have we got Barney Stinson scouting for us now?

 

[Sandro30]

I think I remember him playing a lot in the Champions League matches this past year. It's bad because I can't recall anything of note from him but I do remember his name.

I still want Junior Malanda.

Went to Wolfsburg last week didn't he?

There are 0 reports in Croatia about Brozovic, and that Alfredo Pedulla guy has 1500 exclusive reports about many players from lot of different clubs. I really doubt that he is connected with every club in the world. Gianluca di Marzio is reliable when it comes to Croatian players. And then some of croatian journos. Brozovic is 100% not Baldini's target and he won't come here.

Antolic, Husejinovic, Sammir, Brozovic, Halilovic, Pamic, Ademi, Leko<-------all midfielders in the club. Antolic, Husejinovic, Sammir, Halilovic, Ademi and Leko are all better than Brozovic. He'll be lucky to find a mid-table club in Croatia. Dinmpomp probably saw him play even more than I have, wish he would also comment on that one. Also, general consensus amongst Dinamo fans (from what I can see from comments on any of Brozovic articles in the past) is that he is not good. Lot of people don't like Dinamo coach Krunoslav Jurcic, but if there is one thing everyone agrees with him and likes about him, is the fact he doesn't rate Brozovic and wants to get rid of him.

Seriously people, I bet there are 17 yr olds in our academy better than Brozovic. Worst midfielder in Dinamo.

We should scout Ademi, great player, bit temeperamental though (but so is Soldado).

Yes he did. Although loaned back to his original team.
