Will be sad to see him go if true... but can understand if it does happen. Bobby needs to get his mojo back

I know it didn't work out Bobby, but we will miss you (if you do go)

Good luck but you wont be missed by me. Him and lamela are the reason why spurs failed to kick on in last 2 years. Complete waste of money. Major flop.

Will be sad to see him leave - never wanted a player to succeed more than him. Can't see us agreeing to let him go before Adebayor though to be honest unless Levy has squeezed more than the touted £11m out of Seville

Thanks for that, Captain fucking hindsight.

Gutted he didnt make it to the level we expected. After while he just ended up trying too hard. I wonder whether the club did enough to help any of the new signings settle in.

 

[lol]

13m + soldado for krychowiak. please

 

[VoteMe4Prez]

For those who disagreed with me, Bobby may not have hit the mark with us but doesn't mean you have to be bell ends about him.

Really hope this is true. The sooner we sell Soldado and Ade, the sooner we can sort our strike force out. If we have to rely on Kane like we did last season we will get found out big time.

He's not gone yet

I find all this sympathy for Soldado bizarre. What I saw was a player drifting aimlessly round the pitch like a schoolboy out of his depth who didn't want to touch the ball. For 27 million, I expected someone with nuts - someone who would run around and get involved like Tevez (or Kane, for that matter) when things weren't going for him. Poor player, poor attitude, poor signing.

if this happens I can see our forwards being kane berahino and austin

 

[Japhet]

Won't happen but would be nice to get Krychowiak coming the other way. Levy has done a pretty good job making it hard for us to deal with Sevilla (amongst others) though.

 

[Shea]

Really hope we can get deals sorted for him and Ade

If we can ship those two out and bring two players in who can actually contribute to our season it will be a huge plus

He's a nice guy but he's signing has been a complete nightmare and the sooner it is ended the better for the club and the player

Good luck

True his work off the ball looked great but it just never happened for him. Don't think we can blame the club, so much of being a striker is in confidence and Bobby never had it with us. Some fans are critical of the support Bobby gets here given his price tag and lack of goals. Fans love a player who gives his all and never complains when he's not getting picked. I'd just add he hasn't gone yet and if Ade is going too we need to get another striker in.

How anyone can disagree that Soldado and Lamela have been a flop and a waste of money is beyond me.
Can anyone explain how we wouldn't have moved forward had we spent 56m ish on 2 players who put in performances that showed them as actually being anywhere near the quality you would expect when spending 56m?
Fk, we'd have pushed on more than we did if they'd have shown themselves to be worth half what we paid.
Please, explain.
Just don't bad mouth Lamela ok. I did once but I think I got away with it

Exactly, we didnt spend upto 26 million on soldado to work hard. We didnt spend 30 million on lamela to be a great player in 3 years time. We needed them to perform at the standards they were performing prior to them joining us straight away but they flopped big time.

I bet you applauded the purchase of both players a couple years ago...
