Defoe is better than Ba, that would be going backwards.

The Brazilian hitman is not coming to spurs!
In an interview with Brazilian broadcaster Radio Gaucha, Luigi said: "We are going to keep Damiao. He would only have two motives to leave – if the club was doing badly or if the club had financial problems and needed to sell one of its stars. That is not the case."

Listen to Brazilian radio alot do you pal. Think you should go back to posting on your own clubs page

It's true he did say that, but he said it back in summer
Agree2
Disagree1
Not true, i heard that he was coming by my very reliable source, a cook at the training ground
Agree0
Disagree5
A lot can change since the summer. I hope he joins the club he is quality. What I would like most of all is deals to be done quickly so we can get on with things. Last thing we need are off the field distractions this month. We have 3 very winnable games at home and a trip to city
Agree2
Disagree2
Yeah, cos the cooks at training grounds are always in the now ?
Agree0
Disagree0
Yeah I'm a massive fan of the Brazilian talk sport thanks pal! I'm a spurs fan actually so I'm on the right board. I'm not wet my pants with excitement about Damiao joining like everyone else in here, because I can't see it happening. Why sign an unproved player when we are so close to challenging for the title. For me it has to be drogba in this Transfer window.
Agree1
Disagree1
Drogba? you dick! so you think we will get a 100% from a has been.no thanks mate.redknaap wants to get shot of pav,and go all out for ba.

Ba who has a good 6 months in the prem, just like the prolific Andy Carroll. Yeah nice one dick!

Have heard that we have put an offer in for remy that includes pav, who they do not want, from what i have heard they would be willing to do a player + cash offer but only if we, a - reduce our value of pav and increase the cash side of the offer or, b - include bassong or kaboul in any offer. it is thought we can get him for about 20 -22 million. they would prefer as much cash as possible so they can take drogba back there
Believable3
Unbelievable4
Kaboul is going nowhere, and anyway, part exchange deals NEVER HAPPEN!! {Ed008's Note - Remy is not even a good player in my opinion.
Agree6
Disagree0
Remy is decent,ed you said parker was not a prem player in the summer! and look at him now! {Ed008's Note - You've just said it he's decent! We need a top 20+ goals a season striker and for Remy isn't that especially at £20M+. Parker proved me wrong and a lot of people i thought he just looked good in a poor West Ham team he for me is Indispensable to the team.
Agree1
Disagree0
Remy I think is just spurs fans panicking wanting a new face any face ... 7 goals in 18 apps to me doesn't justify 22 m.. Then again I was on the same thought wave as the ed and thought Parker was just a ok player in a poor team
Time will tell

Stop arguing about who posted cahill is joining spurs, he isnt and im glad. he is overrated. to be fair to him he plays with championship defenders such as zat knight and paul robinson but many defensive errors are because of his error in judgement.
i like samba, id get him involved. hed not get in the team over kaboul and dawson but hes a good option to ledders and willy.
next season will see the decline of gallas even more and a january move abroad. hes been great for us but he will lack game time to be a success for his final playing years.
damaio, yes perhaps. we have first choice over him as we have a link with inter - this is should they decide to sell. he's a suarez type player but will need a good 6 months to adapt to the conditions as has david ruiz who is looking like a catch my fulham.
hulk, tevez, cavani... no no no. as much as id like either of them, our wage cap will holt any movements. expect adebayor to take a wage drop to stay past the summer and expect VDV to leave in the summer to either Malaga or Milan. This will allow Pav to leave and us to bring in another striker reverting more to a 442. Modric will not be leaving in the summer.
Believable8
Unbelievable7
You'll probably find that Vdv would prefer a move to Germany to be with his wife more often (she is on the german tv all year every year), adebayor won't take a wage drop, he is performing now and will ant to go to one of the other big spending clubs with a big wage.
Agree1
Disagree4
Samba would not get in the team ahead of Dawson? Samba is an excellent defender with amazing committment.
Agree6
Disagree1
Agree with most of what you said, sounds reasonable.
Just a small thing, you mentioned Fulham's Costa Rican player Ruiz, whose first name is Brian, not David. You're getting mixed up with the Chelsea defender from Brazil, Luiz...
{Ed008's Note - Im gonna join this debate. As much as Samba is a good defender i think we need a World Class defender as we have too many Premiership standards.
Agree4
Disagree0
Disagree about vdv, I genuinly believe he loves tottenham now and stay for years. Didn't know sylvie lived in Germany though, cos their son damien lives with rafa
Agree1
Disagree0
Yeah sorry - bryan ruiz not david luiz! i was reading a stupid rumour on luiz before i posted. classic.
there are two teams in germany in my opinion, bayern who VDV would not fit in to and Shalke who are ok but once they lose JKH will be very average. AC milan are a good shout, they are in need of somebody like rafa. he may love the club but as everyone knows spurs are adapting their systems to him. he lacks pace, fitness and defensive quality and as spurs grow and add more pace and attack to the team, VDV will be forced out, hence a move.
Samba yes I like him but who'd you leave out to play him? A fit Dawson matches Samba any day and throws his body on the line better than anyone on his day. on recent form Kaboul would make my starting 11 without question.
Recent rumours with Krul, Remy and Ba... id say Ba is darren bent with swagga and a brain. he has been pretty ledge so far but is not somebody to take tottenham to the next level. would like to see him do it against barca or real madrid. remy is a very good young player with pace and can play on the wing which would be a good idea as cover for lennon and/or bale.

ed - any interest in vertongehn from ajax? imo would be absolutely perfect, can play cb, lb and defensive mid, 3 places we are currently short of cover {Ed001's Note - I have not heard of any interest in him from Spurs this January. Does seem a better solution than Cahill to me though.}
