Yep seems like Corluka is off, thanks for the service over the last few years Charlie.

 

[kdspur]

corluka was a real steady eddie.. good defender and if he had pace of walker wud be absolute top top notch but thats football as he says

the lad needs to play and so has moved on.. what i dont get is people having fits about who will replace him. walker is a fit energitic young player , strong but we have gallas kaboul livermore who can all do a job if needs be in that position if disaster strikes.. chill out ..

 

[am_yisrael_chai]

What is The Goat's cryptic about ?

 

[RJ1882]

Would we not be safer signing even Rodellega or Zamora?
Barrios or Nilmar?
Krasic?
Players available, perhaps on loan that would help us this season.

PAV is bloody awful.

 

[Mr Pink]

Will be interesting to see what JJ's update includes....

I think we'll pull off a loan deal tomorrow.

 

[RuskyM]

Very good!



I'm not ITK just posting in addition to what The Goat has been told.

Wait, was that actually the answer? :razz:

Charlie was born to play for Spurs. So good on the ball.

Shame to see him go, but understandably he wants to play football.

All the best chap.

Providing it's a decent striker (Barrios) I'd be pleased with that. Our current squad is good enough for what our primary aim is (4th) and I think it's good enough for 3rd too.

Just lacked pace,oh and of course by his own admission, he didnt like heading the ball.

Is he meant to be posting tonight?

 

[Twizzle]

Is he meant to be posting tonight?

yep, in an hour or so

Yeah he isn't the quickest, but he didn't need to be.

Remember the Zokora at right back experiment against Villa to counteract the pace of Young and Agbonlahor? Zok got pulled of before half time because they had torn him a new one, and Charlie didn't give them a sniff for the rest of the game when he came on.

Classy player. Glad to have seen him play for us.

 

[#1 Spur]

andros is already at leeds, how many players can we loan to the same club?

4 or 5, no?

 

[the yid]

I'll miss Charlie! Class defender but he don't stand a chance now with walker

 

[RJ1882]

Telegraph linking us to Marin. That would be great too.

 

[Mr Pink]

Is he meant to be posting tonight?

yeah he is...

Most media speculating that we'll make bigger moves in the summer. The only way I see something happening hinges on shifting several players in the next 24 hours which is pretty unlikely.

A cheeky loan signing is the best we can hope for.

Already posted in the relevant thread :wink:

 

[mpickard2087]

All window I have only really expected a loan signing, cant see who it will be. If Krasic comes in then surely one of Pienaar or Kranjcar has to go?

 

[EJWTartanSpur]

Seriously guys, it would be INSANITY to let a player of Corluka's ability go, midseason when we are battling on some very important fronts.

So either.......

A) something has to happen

or

B) I'd be raging at who ever is responsible for this complete stupidity ( bearing in mind that I'm a HUGE Harry and Daniel fan )

with this news coming to light, I have to imagine we will see some action tomorrow, even if it is just a defender

 

[walworthyid]

I have to be honest and say that I feel that Corluka is a better rb than Walker and a better partner for Lennon. That being said, Walker has massive potential and I can see why Harry wants to play him and see him develop.

Good luck Charlie. If you had pace you would be one of the best rbs in the world.
