Re THFC2311, the very top players yeah but everyone of those players you mentioned we could afford, easily! ... and apart from Rossi none of the others really merit those wages you mentioned, nowhere near.

I think the talk of huntelaar, soldado, rossi, remy, etc. is wide of the mark. due to our wage structure we won't be signing these 'marquee players', our success has been built upon taking players from lesser clubs and utilising their potential to create a top side, if you look at our XI now almost the entire team was created this way. more to the point, other than citeh and chelski this has been the blueprint for success in the PL over the years. you can't play the ultra rich at their own game paying big wages to big players, we must look to younger players with potential who fit in our wage structure.

{Ed008's Note - None of these players are on wages higher than 80k though ?

Yes, but players rarely move without taking higher wages, plus competing for players like these often involves going head to head with other clubs who are able to offer big wages, e.g rossi would be offered big wages by big italian clubs like juve. my point is that going after the stellar names is extremely difficult if you're not gonna pay in excess of 100k p/w imo. and more importantly successful sides are usually built creating a team out of players who grow together.

But hunter, remy and soldado are not worth 100 grand a week, but they would be willing to come to us for the wages we can offer, because no one would offer them that much

Does anyone have any genuine transfer goosip on who Spurs might be signing? I believe Levy will sign at least one player before the window shut, the question is who??

Get us Hoilett, Damiao and or Ganso. Three great prospects that will all turn out to be world class. Come on Harry (or Levy, who ever is controlling the transfers atm) work your magic!
