Not sure what to make of this, but i just left the pub where i bumped into an old workmate who used to get some really good transfer info from spurs, he told me about the bassong transfer before it happened, and was also bang on with his info about defoe's return to which we thought he had gone mad, but as i say he was dead right. I asked him if he still got info and he said he still hears things through his contact, who although has left his official post with spurs, he is still close to a few faces at whl. When i asked him what was going on he said that we won't be doing anything in regards to bringing someone in this window, but will be signing a player for the summer that will be announced by the end of february. He didn't know who but said he will try to find out for me. He was pissed so could well have been talking nonsense, but i will await his call on thursday and let you know what he says
Cheers EA. You look like a honourable earthling
Adebayor? Leandro?
One can but dream.
Bellamy a good option to have. Explosive from the bench. Probably exactly what we need now as well as Defoe. A genuine game changing option.
JJ mentioned that some names are being banded about, that haven't hit our radar yet in terms of ITK or media
Pure logical deducing would leave me believing that Olivier Giroud MUST be one of them..
Young
Tall and capable of holding it up
Good all round threat in air, ground, has pace and is on brilliant form
Plays at a smaller club and could be available for sub 20m
We have looked in France plenty with Remy, Gameiro, Lille players etc, it seems so bloody obvious that he could be gettable, improve us and maybe go on to be a superb striker, that I simply refuse to believe that we haven't been looking at him
Surprised really seems arseshaving is available
When players like Aguero, Nasri, Silva and Balotelli make a difference you can see the difference spending power makes. All the more frustrating when our best attacking option is their player and he can't even play. They could bring a player like Dzeko off, we have to be able to compete with that kind of player power and we have treaded water while they have strengthened.
I really don't see us making any transfers in this window,there is fuck all out there.
Any work we are doing now is preparation for the summer and hopefully we can finish third in the League and be able to offer Champions League football.

itk?!?
So you're hoping for an A* in your GCSE for Stating the Totally Fucking Obvious?
I mentioned on here the other day that I've got some mates living in Montpellier and they think this guy is the next big striker to come out of the country. More importantly they think he is perfectly suited to a lone role in the Prem.
As you say, given that info we must have had a good look at him.
I agree as I too mentioned him weeks ago in another thread.
I really think he'd be perfect but I believe Montpellier want a ridiculous amount of money for him.
Perhaps you can ask your mates what their President said recently as I can't remember the figure exactly but I know it was high!
