Im sorry i didnt realise we were talking about the football god that is edin dzeko. My point was for the absurd ammount of money someone like dzeko would want he would be absolutely not worth the wages. 1 he is a service striker who squanders a lot of chances although still getting goals, dont we already have one of those with pelle? 2 if we were going to pay out fat wages on a striker wouldnt it be better to go for someone a bit more dynamic like say remy,who would give us a differant option with his pace or could play together with pelle.. Serious question just humour me, how many goals a season more would you think dzeko would give us a season over pelle,if played as the loan striker all season as pell'e has been. I await the sarcastic responses :-)

In my defense i was just saying that i dont think he is a world class striker, not that he would come lol

Have never rated dzeko myself, always seems to squander far more chances then he puts away, but gets so many chances due to service he gets goals. I think he would be poor in a average side.

Tracking for years is not the best compliment since we were not in the premiership a few years ago :-D

Wasnt impressed when we bought him and he hasnt really changed my mind on that, His best asset seems to be drawing free kicks from going down easy, his finishing has been tame so far like the one on one against qpr, so far he has been busy but not a lot else. I do think there is more to come from him,ive seen him have much better games then this with west brom but at the same time it was a steep fee for a player we didnt need, the money would have been better spent on a back up striker in case pelle gets injured. Oh and lastly id have been much happier to see what koeman coukd of got out of gaston ramirez.

To sum up today- spurs were first to every second ball seemed to always get the break of the ball in 50 50 tackles, and to be fair to them pressed us very well. We couldnt really cope with the pressing today and struggled for most of the game in my opinion. Bertrand and mane were probably our best players although no one really stood out in a poor team performance

Sod him, he basically gave up his career for a paid season ticket as a liverpool fan :-D

Gutted. Dumb move our options off the bench are so bad even mayuka is making the bench, gaston looked class on saturday and we started playing much better when he replaced long.what happens if tadic picks up a injury? This has tarnished the man'e deal for me unless hes exceptional we are hardly any better off.

I always though gaston had much better attributes then jay rod, better dribbler better shot more vision better at picking a pass, ill be pretty fumed if we let him go think hes quality waiting to happen

come on lets get townsend. Much more exciting then the likes of capel and mane

A lot of grief for townsend today based on one poor game? All the tottenham players looked outclassed today. Ok he messed up bad getting caught in possession but **** happens..id actually really like him here think hes a real livewire and looked a real star for england at times last season.

Could still do with getting another striker in my opinion not sure shane long could lead the line in koemans 433 if pelle picked up an injury, long still a strange buy in my opinion dont see how he really can fit in our system

Norwich fans seem to think redmonds end product is pretty gash http://services.pinkunforums/pinkun/cs/forums/3165984/ShowPost.aspx Would prefer stumping up 15m for townsend myself. Check out his performance vs villa.pace power quick feet and scaring the defenders non stop http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fy8n7kdMJ_8

Would love clasie, even though its our strongest position. I think we would be signing a potentially world class player,loved his little cameos in the world cup looked a massive step up from winajldrum sp,and was always looking for a killer pass. To be honest id rather the signings were more koeman buys anyway.cant see the point in spunking our money in the severely overpriced english market, would rather koeman brought in some of the top eridvisie players with his contacts

Totally agree, we didnt really have someone like that who could play class through balls that require skill and vision. Gaston i think is capable but he still hasnt got a decent run in the side with his fitness. But if Tadic keeps creating chances at that rate he will be a superb signing.

From the first look of tadic id say he looks like he will use the ball a lot better then lallana, he played some really clever passes especially the ones that played clyne in on goal. Lallanas biggest strength was he was just so comfortable on the ball and could just keep turning defenders for fun but his end product wasnt amazing.

Although osvaldo will probably have the more illustrious career though Even with all his mental problems he still gets big clubs like roma juve and inter.i think he is a good striker it just didnt work out with us

The big differance for me is osvaldo ramirez etc were exciting signings for simular money,the potential was there for them to come in and be something special,ok neither has worked out yet but with the fees came a lot of excitement. Long on the other hand we know his level and its low end premiership level, hes not going to set the league alight and at the age of 27 hes not likely to improve much either. Bit of a meh signing really.

Ok the thing is buying players like ramirez osvaldo tadic abroad for these types of fees there is a chance they can come here and be world class, with long we just know we are getting a bog standard bottom half of the premiership player.and hes 27 not much potential in this deal really is there ?

Theres 2 options that would make me happy here. 1 Do not back down to snidy**** let him rot in reserves or do whatever it takes to keep him at the club.this is getting beyond money, we need to put our foot down and not be bullied by players,this needs to happen so it doesnt continue in the future. 2) get jordie clasie in who has potential to be better then the snidyone and get as much as we can for mongan. I still prefer option one

Break the transfer record two or 3 times! This would show the board have no bad intentions or selling up or whatever. 3 big signings like rojo hernandez and jordie clasie and i think the belief would start to come back. Signing people like bertand on loan isnt going to cut it after the players we have let go!

Happy birthday nicola the legend. I think we that traitor scouserboy lambert should be removed from the banner and replaced with the don.

Seriously? This guy was top scorer in bundesliga in 2012. Over the likes of lewendowski..sounds a bit better then lambert :-)

Not saying we should sign samaras but the times ive watched him i definately wouldnt say hes slow and imobile like some are suggesting.he actually can beat a man and make good dribbling runs into the box.hes a lot less static then someone like lambert
