He's also 32 and shit.

:evil: He scored four league goals last season. Four! Oh yes, he's still got it alright.

 

[mattyspurs]

Nailsy knows

Whatever keeps you happy :lol:

It's not me you want to be worrying about...just imagine the effect of an SC free-for-all love-in wold have on stat-fan BC mg:

I wasn't including myself in it don't worry :razz:

Nah, Hottie is more of the instigating control-freak instiagator type :wink:

:roll:

Arent we challenging right now? So Levy hasnt done too badly

To be honest to stand any chance of keeping our players we need to win the league. We cannot compete with the likes of City and Chelsea in terms of wages the only thing we can offer is the prestige of winning the title. Until we get a new stadium we cannot match other teams financially. Therefore we need to really make a statement and push on with one or two special signings to improve our chances of winning the league. Truth be told this should have been done in the summer as buying players in the January window is very difficult and prices are over inflated. Clubs also need time to get replacements in; therefore part exchanges are very useful if we're buying like for like replacements for players like Pienaar, Pav etc. If we could do a deal I would love Ganso, Shaqiri; Christensen to come in as exciting game changing subs we can bring on who are young and hungry. Also up front, Maybe Eduardo could recapture his form and his partnership feeding off modric passes in the national team can be rediscovered. Failing that getting Steven Fletcher in wouldn't be bad. £8-10 mil would be a decent price seeing how inflated wages are nowadays. I would love it, just love it though if we Spunk £30 mil on Hazard. He would definitely be worth it and even if Real or Barca came calling later he will be worth £50 mil if we have him on a long term contract.

Same as Defoe. Iaquinta 4 in 20. Defoe 4 in 22.

I'd call that an upgrade. World cup winner to boot. Sign him up.

Quality Dan, quality. :rofl:

Dan, you'd call it an upgrade simply because Defoe is English

And so, the sun goes down on yet another tantalising day of ITK, idle chit chat about Dave, and the pro's and con's of spunking 20mil.

Tune in tomorrow to see who will be sleeping with who, and who'll be the first to scream angrily into their laptop 'JUST SIGN A FUCKING STRIKER!!!!!!!!'

[Mullers]

There really isn't a need to go out and get striker unless we are going to get rid one. I agree with Redknapp only add a player that will really improve the squad.

You forgot to say "Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel".

[BoringOldFan]

Absolutely gutted to see that Souchaux have beaten us to the signing of the season. They went to Esperance of Tunis, slapped the dosh on the table and came away with... Yaya Banana.

Come on. Like Levy wouldn't have got his money back on shirt sales.

But this season Defoe's scored at almost a goal a game (or the equivalent thereof) and been more clinical than VdV. I don't expect this to last now it's January, but neither do I expect you to stop talking out of your arse anytime soon.

Not sure he would have got on with our bunch of players.

I'd buy Fyffe of them.

I wanted us to sign Justice Warrior from Germinal Beerschot, as I thought having a superhero on the squad would be pretty cool. When I put my specs on and discovered he was actually Justice Wamfor my enthusiasm evaporated.

 

[eddiev14]

Looking at JM's sig and hearing what we've all been saying on here, does anyone think we should update the words of Danny Blanchflower to the following? We've been going on about it long enough, you'd think it was the club motto!!

"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It's nothing of the kind. The game is about SIGNING A FECKING STRIKER!!!!."

:grin:

 

[scat1620]

He'd skin them all in training. That said, bet Bale would be quite partial to him.
