Hopefully we can put that story away in the cupboard now with Damiao, Moutinho and Hulk.

I heard Rivaldo is coming out of retirement though!

I have been reading that many on here that many think we dodged a bullet with this one due his supposed bad attitude and lack of work ethic. I think in the end it simply came down to wages.

Personally like a bit of genius however flawed and I think this lad could have been one of those for us.

Berbatov never really tracked back, VDV lacked pace and faded after an hour. Still would like this kind of player again in a heartbeat.

I cringe at the idea of a team recruited on stats with 11 iterations of Jordan Henderson.

Now he will either fail and prove doubters right or he will be out of our price range and go to a title winning team.

Sigh. Move on.

I totally agree. You need a balance. I made the comment last night about Messi running the last on the pitch. This could have been a quality signing for us, for free.

Every winning team has its fair share of arseholes. We don't have any. We are too nice, too soft.

i really hope we are signing someone decent that we don't know about but this is typical spurs transfer window so far, teams improving while we falter behind

If we were in for Konoplyanka and lost out to Sevilla because of wages.....then we are well and truely falling down the pecking order of European football

Roy Keane, Patrcik Vieira and John Terry would scare the shit out of our little boys.

But Ericksen, Lloris and vertonghen would thrash them at scrabble.

Terry looked very scared when Kane kept getting the ball at the Lane this season.

Sounds like a merc to me... no great loss ..I'd rather have someone who wants to play for the club rather than jump through hoops for half a dozen agents

We must really trust in our development players coming through which to me is great news.
