I agree. To assume that Lllorente and Damiao are automatically better than Ade is harsh.

Ade has played for Arsenal, Madrid, City and Spurs and did well everywhere. The other two have yet to even step out of their comfort zone. Llorente could even struggle in a different country considering how hesitant he has been to leave his home town club.

well i dont think we can look at variables that we cant control. eg settling, home sickness. we need to look at things that actually make them good footballers. the fact is the llorente is a more finished product that ade in terms of physicality and technicality. for the mental part, we can only judge when they move over. mata, silva, tevez, aguero, all did fine when they move over from overseas. yet for every aguero theres fernando torres. coming from overseas doesnt immediately determine how they will settle.

every signing is a gamble, and you cant make sure if ba can ever replicate the same form he has in castle. for now, judging on the variables we can control and see, llorente is indeed a better striker. damiao on the other hand, is slightly behind ade but with a bigger potential

Just thought id point out that although we sometimes get very frustrated with the late deals we do in the transfer market, fans of other teams believe differently...hence this comment from a liverpool fan RE Holtby........

'Extremely good signing by Spurs who seems to be masters in the transfer market. I think it's time to applaud Levy who year after year get quality players for bargain prices. They always seem to do their bussiness quick aswell.'

I believe we have beaten off some stiff competition with a few of our recent signings and this one in particular I believe credit must go to freund and AVB but I have to point out that the Training ground must be such a more powerful pull for players to chose spurs over other teams!!!!

we need 3 decent strikers anyway

So if Leandro came in i would not want us to Sell Ade. As you say, assess it in the summer

i would love to, but very clearly our wages budget wont be able to do that. i would love to have a rotation like damiao/llorente, ade, defoe, thats a title challenging rotation.but you know its just impossible to satisfy all three, let alone pay their wages

Over his last 6 games Defoe has 1 goal with 25 shots.

exactly, and this is the clear reason why neither of them are the strikers to elevate our team to become a top 4, or even title challenging team.

on an other note, how do i make 1 post but quote multiple user's reply. sorry for the triple post man.

Assuming at some point we'll go 433 I don't think you can keep 3 strikers happy unless at least 1 can play on the wing like a Remy, Aubameyang type

yup. absolutely agree. if the new striker in coming is a wing/forward kind, then they can probably co-exist. if the new striker is really whats rumoured eg llorente/damiao, then i'm pretty sure one of defoe or ade has to go this window.

I could understand why you might call your penis maggot - but maggots?

have you got diphallia going on there pal? And why would they know about moutinho?
Hello, Private Sum. Do you mind if i call you that??

My penis is not called Maggot, infact it is called The Choker. But thats a story for another day...

I can see why you may think i was blessed with two wangs, due to the sheer size of it. However i do just have the one.

I was simply refering to the good posters on this forum as 'Maggots', it is a term of endearment for Sargeants such as myself. And was attempting to pick their brains on Moutinho's potential whereabouts...

Carry on, as you were!

I think he is sitting at home as we speak, reading AVB's new novella "Fifty shades of 433"

over and out

I can't see us selling a striker regardless of who we get in. We're short in that position and chasing a cl spot so I don't think making them unhappy because of game time will be a major worry. Look at man utd / city's haul of at least 3/4 world class forwards.

The links with Moussa Sissoko, despite nothing looking more than just some speculation, have continued and become a little more frequent.

I'd love that signing. Love it.

Good show, Soldier.

In fact, i have just finished that book. I must say this was my favourite part:

"Forget about Porto, said Mr Levy, seductively. Forget about those details in your contract. I want you. I've wanted you since AVB was inside me, and I know you want me." Levy says as he unzips his trousers. "I want you inside my 4-3-3 tonight, Joao..." "Meeeeeeeeesah Leevee" moaned Moutinho.

The cheeky little shit.

Also, as sad as i am. I searched for 'fifty shades of grey quotes' on google.

Incredibly, this is the #1 sexiest quote from the book.

1. "Oh, fuck the paperwork."

How incredibly appropriate...
