Sturridge is prob one of the options for Young World Class striker but you have to look around hard to find someone that matches that description exactly.


Please dont use the words 'World', 'Sturridge' & 'Class' in the same sentence again. Thank you.

Remy seems to have gone cold. Maybe AVB doesn't want him but for less than £20m we'd get a backup striker and a wide option in one. Of course, if there's truth to the Adrian story, then we'll get that anyway without Remy coming in.

Yeah I agree, Leandro might be the better option but would cost a lot more money and isn't proven in the prem. Also getting Leandro for their asking price would probably mean we wouldn't get Moutinho so we wouldn't get as good a Modric replacement as we would hope.

Sell:
Mods: £35m-40m

Buy:
Moutinho: £25m
Leandro: £20-25m?

Are you saying we don't have roughly £10m extra available?

Well we've already spent an estimated £20-£25M on verts, Gylfi and Ade don't forget plus were allegedly looking at Lloris and Adrian if you believe the rumours


And I'd be staggered if we got £35-£40M for Modric

Thinking about it no. But you have to remember we still want Lloris (£15m) If Defoe goes we want 3 strikers although maybe 2 with VDV. Which will leave 1 striker. Remy/Adrian both around £15m, Moutinho £25m, Leandro £22m, Verts £10m, Ade £6m, Lloris £15m, Sig £8m. In:about £100m. I don't see that happening especially how Leandro has made it clear he doesn't want to come anyway.

I asked JJ on Twitter a while ago about Gio and his problems breaking in to the squad/impressing Harry/attitude problems. He said the problems were both on Gios and Harrys behalf. Whatever that means.

Probably because neither of them have a very good grasp of the English language............... ;)

i agree but not many meet that description. he is miles better than Wreck and Carroll imo
Exactly. Sturridge certainly isn't 'world class' but I'd put him on the list of strikers who are up and coming and might well improve. I wouldn't mind us signing him at all.

Quite. He had his best spell under AVB at chelsea anyway I thought.

I didnt say anything about signing Remy/Adrian!

Buy: Moutinho £25m, Leandro £22m, Verts £10m, Ade £6m, Lloris £15m, Sig £8m. Total:£86M

Sell/Sold: Mods £35-40m, Krancjar £5m, Corluka £5m, Gomes £3-5m, GDS £5m, Pienaar £5m. Total:£65m

Obviously all estimates....

So we're talking about takeovers at the club, cash injections etc etc... You don't think we have £20m of our own money to spend on transfers?

Really? How much was you thinking? £25-30m?

Surprisingly, I found his english quite good in an interview on Spurs TV after one of the cup games last season. I always imagined him sounding like that little Speedy gonzales mouse.

I think Sturridge is definitely worth a punt, but would they sell him to us unless we let them have Modric?
