I think the appointment of baldini will actually see mr levy take a back sat at the lane from now on. I can see him also leaving probably end of next season when the stadium is at a more advance stage. The reason for his baldini appointment is so he will be the main negotiator as I think levy will take more time out for his wife as most of us kn

Levy loves dealine day and transfer dealing I think your mistaken. Levy, as does Avb, prefers working with a Director of Football.

All these rumours we are linked with in Brazil are just a joke.
Why are all spurs signings such an issue or so complicated.
We will end up with McCarthy & Benteke, just like last seasons (Two Bob) signings which won't enhance the squad
Infact Benteke has had 1 full season at Villa. let's see next year when he gets man marked out of the game & see his goal tally at the end of the season.
Just put a £25 Mil bid in for Damiao we must have done that in exp going out to watch him play over the last 3 years.

Re post this after the confed cup finishes and we sign none of the players mentioned.
No one playing at the moment will move anywhere.
Just wait until the tournament is finished.

Why do you think no one has signed damaio yet?
You contradicted yourself with the benteke quote then said we should sign an untested damaio (who has been poor in his own league the last couple seasons)
Don't you want michu either? Falls into the same bracket as benteke while using your theory.
Agree0
Disagree0
We needed Benteke at £7-8m last season, or Michu at £2m.
No good at stupidly inflated prices now and would've meant 3rd or 4th before but, doubtful for next season with others investing a lot of money.

Which once again raise the question Simmo,
What are our scouts doing?
Agree0

How negative is this post would love to see this post at the end of next season when benteke has hits 20 goals but as for michu think he will be no where near as good as this season so stay well away from him until he proves himself again next season
Agree0
Disagree0
Benteke hits 20 goals. let's see.
Like I said next season he will be known to teams so he will be man marked, It's a lot harder to score goals then.
If Damaio has been poor that says a lot for our scouting team then, as they've been watching him for the last 3 years.
The post is not negative, more realistic
Agree0
Disagree0
Who says our scouting team has been watching him for 3 years?
Do not believe everything you read in the papers my friend but I agree about our scouting system not being up to scratch. Not been the same since graham Carr left and I suspect this is a major reason baldini has come in.
Agree0
Disagree0
Don't you think prem defenders realised after a few weeks of last season that benteke and michu where on a hot streak?
Do you think they said 'let's give them a whole season of scoring and then play better against them next season'?
They will both score again this coming season and they would improve 75% of teams in the premiership.
Agree0

Don't get me wrong, I would love us to sign a few Brazilians, but I just think the big guns will step in if we hang around. Oscar ring a bell. personally I think he's class.
If we're looking for CL football we need to look higher than Michu & Benteke - As Arsenal & Liverpool will be better this year - that's only my opinion.

Damiou. or whatever his name is. overhyped and overrated. forget sbout him. other players better. yidade {Ed008's Note - Post of the week!

DR,
Exactly they will be marked out of the game next season. Look at michu's second half vs first. 13 first half of season and 5 second half if I remember correctly. Either he can't stay consistent or defenders are getting wise to his game. Benteke may be a different story but I never saw that something extra that earned those goals other than he was the focal point of his side's attacks. I agree we would be better off with someone else. I'm unsure about Damiao. but would love to see either him, JMartinez, MGomez, or Soldado over any of the others mentioned on here.
Even though benfica would look for 10m I think Cardozo could do a great job for 2-3years. he's physical, tall, great left, powerful free kick, finisher, holds up the ball and gets stuck in. I think him plus one of the other strikers I mentioned would see us in third next season. What do you guys think of CArdozo for us? Worth a bid?

Michu was injured for a lot of the 2nd half of the season.

I think everyone is missing the point of the original and subsequent posts.
DR stated that we would 'end up' with benteke instead we should just bid £25million for damaio.
My original response was meant to read that, in my opinion, damaio is no better than benteke.
I agree we need better. One/two of Gomez, soldado, negredo, higuain,
villa, hulk, huntellar, Torres, Rooney and the like will do.

Rumour has it that Gareth Bale is on his way to Real Madrid for a fee of £85 million but Spurs are looking to utilise that money by placing a £17 million offer for Brazilian international Hulk as his replacement. Spurs were also looking at a striker in there summer recrutment with Jermain Defoe reaching 30 years and Emmanuel Adebayor not reaching expectations spurs are now in the race for Edinson Cavani signature if the Gareth Bale transfer goe ahead.

So Hulk goes for 40/50 mil 6 months ago and then we place a 17 mil offer for Hulk? I see how that works.
I take it were putting a 15 mil bid in for Cavani.
Why not try our luck with a 3 mil bid for Rooney to?

Rumour has it bale is leaving/staying/leaving/staying/leaving/staying.
It depends which red top you read.
Why don't we just wait and see.
I know one thing though, if we can get hulk for 17million (which I very much doubt), then there is no need to sell bale. Buy hulk, keep bale, get another striker (Gomez/soldado). Get erikson/pjanic. Get one if the 3 brazillians mentioned. £50million spent.
Bobs your uncle, fannys your aunt.
Top3 here we come.
Happy days.

£17mil for hulk, try doubling or tripling it son

What a load of bull.
Zenit will want much more than that for Hulk, Bale might leave (that's probably the only thing worth crediting in the post) and if Cavani ends up in London (which I fear he will) he will playing in the blue of Chelski.

Ridiculous rumour! Why would AVB come out yesterday and say Bale would not be going to RM? He'd look a fool. Why would Cavani consider us when we can't offer champions league or the wages that some of the other interested clubs could offer? Nice dream though, Hulk and Cavani playing at the Lane

Given the million rumours on each of them (ten million on one in particular), I would say he means; Damaio, Paulinho and Bernard.
