THIS, if Sandro is a 9 what the hell is Bale?

 

[TottenhamLegend]

I honestly think that 9 comment wasn't genuinely saying Sandro is a better player than this supposed "world class signing". Probably just a light hearted tweet.

 

[etchedchaos]

JJ hasn't clarified his standard of what a Worldy is, so there's no point going nuts over his 8.25 tweet, he's just messing.

8.25, Remember JJ is a big fan of the mad man that is Sandro

I agree, he is known to be in love with Sandro

9.1

sandro's a beast.

 

[nstream]

Sandros squad number for this season? :/

 

[marvel]

Probably not quite worthy of RO but JJ agreed to this on twitter:

In response to: @hotspurkeeno
After seeing so many Higuain, Benzema and Falcao rumours signing someone like Rondon instead would be very, very disapointing.

Logarithmic scale?

 

[Mr Pink]

what's this Rondon like?....never seen him play...who would be most like in the prem? (looks like a John Carew type to me ~)

Only seen a bit of him but id say he is similar but faster. He is an excellent finisher, seems pretty clever.....would be a great signing.

Hulk and Moutinho double deal and we'll all be happy

 

[Makkaveli101]

Rondon would be an excellent signing, and one that's very much realistic. Would be excellent back up/rotation for Adebayor.

I'm surprised we haven't been linked more to Huntelaar. There was ITK from the Journalist about him last summer. Nothiing this window yet. The guy's a battering ram and was born to play in the Premiership. His goal scoring record is a goal every other game, his record at Schalke is practically a piss take:-

How much have you actually seen of Rondon? Not including any youtube clips.

 

[McFlash]

Who the fuck is Rondon?!

And Jesus! JJ rates Kranky higher than I do, although we're about the same on Sandro.
Im not even sure why, tbh.

 

[spurslenny]

You lot nee to put your belly wipe kits away...


...spurs always flirt with 'world class' signing, and then...........nothing.


Just saying.

 

[Spursidol]

BTW, we have signed someone new.

Grant Hall, Brighton CB, who we have been tracking for some months. Played in tonight's Spurs X1 game (whilst some were deciding who hated Chelsea most) and did well.

Will put a thread up for him for info

Free agent, so probably just on trial with no official contract yet.
