Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (!)...

[The Watcher]

He don't want to come? Screw him. Simple.

I wasn't aware he had a multitude of fantastic clubs clambering over his signature to be honest. I guess he can afford to be picky.

He might want to look at Remy...he dithered when we were interested. Now he is going for a relative song and allegedly waiting for bigger clubs to come back in for him to avoid having to go to a mid-table Prem side.

Newcastle fans would be pleased with that description!
I agree with you though, he's a prospect but already 23 and at an upper-midtable French club - up his if he wants to be a diva about it... Next target.

I'm disappointed we can't conduct ourselves in a better manner. Agents to sort out transfers? WTF!?

They aren't neccesarily working for Spurs, there's lot of agents out there claiming to represent a player or club - trying to get a deal done to get their cut. You'd be surprised.

I watched him against marseille and to be honest wasn't hugely impressed, this may be a blip of course but he seems to be going through a baron spell right now

Lets hope His Lordship gets back to last seasons form then. Looked great last year.

Watched him earlier in the season, scored I think, but what impressed me was his pace and workrate in pressing from the front. As a wide forward, great, however as a CF we need someone who can capitalise on the amount if possession and chances we are having.

This YouTube guy does some fantastic work (I think he must be a Spurs fan):

 

[YiddoInPoland]

apparently according to bbc gossips the barcodes are looking at him

Ryan said we're interested but thought the fee of £7m - £12m was too much, bollox

 

[michaelden]

everytime I see his name all I think is NumberWang!

 

[HappySpur]

So he's cheap but we've fucked about on the deal and it looks off?

I find it odd that we have will no longer buy strikers based on potential. Something has scared Levy off from doing that. I wonder what it is? Because it can't be price. The valuation on him seems completely reasonable even by our standards.

Interesting if not baffling as to why Castrol have striker rankings

They don't. I just edited it to show strikers. He's the 15th highest rated player (all positions) full stop:

http://www.castrolfootball.com/rankings/rankings/?team=&nation=&comp=&position=&p1=&p2=&max=25

Just happens that most of the highest rated are strikers since their system is about how a player contributes to scoring (or stopping) goals.

Defoe rated higher than Cavani and Mata. Says it all IMO.

Wouldn't say no to Aubameyang though. Interesting player.

Still no idea why they would have a list of the best ranked footballers in the world, given that they sell oil.

Falcao behind Benzema... get back to selling oil

 

[jushin3]

A goal and an assist today, he's still the one I want above the Negredos and Bentekes. Even though he's had a dip.

 

[DJS]

He doesn't like us...
