Flamini on a free...

I've still donated more to SC than Arsenal have spent this summer!

 

[Ossie85]

He's probably a bit past it now, but Lord knows we need more signings Godammit!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Bertoni

Bale replacement? Good goalscoring record at Independiente!

There's also a Moises Santiago Bertoni - might be something in that...

or Flaminio Bertoni - looks like we are going to poach the Filths free signing, just because we can?



These are not serious suggestions.

Bertoni won the 1978 WC with Ardiles and Villa

so you may be on to something

 

[Tiffers]

If this were COYS you would have been banned for this


I kid. We love COYS

no i don't

If this were COYS. A very very few of us would be here to read it

 

[wallyjakeman]

people in my office seriously think i have metal problems. Some days in the last 8 weeks i havent said a word to a soul, others, like today, i have been prancing around the office with a stupid grin on my face singing bohemian rhapsody. The other spurs fans have an inkling why but everyone else thinks im a manic depressive. Good times

Queen is hardly metal though...more like classic rock IMO.

 

[Geyzer Soze]

EPL, UEFA, & 1 local cup... I make mine a triple ;-)

I was thinking epl & fa cup, but what the hell?!

 

[mckenz]

I don't think I'd advocate replacing Walker, but on last season's form I am not his biggest fan. He has some wonderful raw atttributes, that hopefully can be moulded into a dependable, long-term option for us, but if only he had a brain in his head and didn't make so many stupid decisions. However, if there's to be any point in having a youth policy and signing young players from this country, we can't just buy a ready-made option in for every position at the drop of a hat.

We just did.



Although I like Walker - He'll get better I'm sure

Steady people............or it will end in tears.

We now have very good ingredients AVB need to perform his magic and bake the cake.

(hopefully an nice victoria sponge) but I digress.

 

[robertgoulet]

On behalf of everyone, stop the Bohemian Rhapsody before it starts ... it's a fucking long song

Those 4 lines were actually posted late last night by Wick3d...I was trying to figure out if it was cryptic. No luck, so I just had a rub and went to bed.

 

[Fluteryid]

Does anyone else think that to really top of this window a new right full back would be lovely. Or am I the only one who really doesnt rate Walker?!

wouldnt want us to get rid of anymore English players tbh

 

[marion52]

Promised myself I would keep away from transfer rumours this window and failed miserably. Sent a donation to thank you for keeping me sane.

 

[tom4s]

Anyone thinking we will might do a nice triple announcement today? Perhaps accompanied by some nice photos of a smiling AVB with the new lads

 

[THOWIG]

Has anything else been mentioned regarding Ahmed Musa?

 

[nicdic]

Announced at the ground with the players presented before the game is my bet.

Ahem Wu's that?

 

[van_Pommel]

Let's not start taking the mick out of the Flamini signing. He'll only bloody score against us.

 

[sebcole]

We're getting oh so close to having "two" teams. 22 players that can all be called on and relied on. We've never had that.

Isn't there a quote from AVB stating that is the intention - to get literally two teams form the squad to compete on all fronts? There is a pic in http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/index.php?threads/we-can-win-the-title.101281/page-8 highlighting this.

 

[THOWIG]

Ahem Wu's that?

Linked with him today.

 

[The Scarecrow]

Or break Soldado's leg.

 

[deka-]

Linked with him today.

Ok, didn't see that one.

20 years old Nigerian striker, playing for CSKA Moscow.

Why not.

 

[Breezer]

So Breez. I've seen on the interwebs that he's on 2m euros annual. Who knows if this is the case. But is he looking to double or treble that? Because the standard in most lines of work is to get 20% if you change jobs. That's about 2.4m which is reasonable. But if he's looking to do something crazy I could see the issue.

Cheers

I'm just waiting to hear back from someone. Coentrao either wants £80k pw and we won't meet his demands or he wants more, but £80k is the max we will pay him. I can't remember so need to confirm.
