I wonder if Leandro thinks we're beneath him, just like Osvaldo did. We may have ambition, but we certainly don't have the prestige, yet, at least.
Add to this that we'll be able to sell for at least this probably to another league, whether successful or not.
Hmm that's true. If Damiao had a super crap year we'd be able to ship him off to Russia and make most of our money back. QPR getting almost a full return for Samba makes me think anything is possible.
Pay enough money and try and show enough ambition and big names will sign. Look at Monaco, they've just been promoted and have signed Falcao, Rodriguez and Moutinho. Yea they used to be pretty big... But that's like Leeds going up and signing Ronaldo, van Persie etc...
If they get Hulk, they will basically be Porto. ------------Falcao Rodriguez---Moutinho---Hulk It's a good attack, but I'm not sure I'd pay €182m for it.
Something odd about that Samba deal...why would they get their money back in full? Sounds like some secret sale or return deal.
Taken from Saintsweb. EXPECT ANOTHER RAMIREZ DRAWN SAGA BUT... ITS HAPPENING. TALKS ARE NOW FORMAL FOR A STRIKER. this is not from the 'usual'. Last edited by Monk; Today at 09:49 PM.
Looks that way, I think it's Damiao or bust for us now in terms of a striker. I wonder if that no.11 shirt will still be hanging on its peg come September.
We might have other targets, but from what Spurs fans have told me, this is going to be a very protracted affair, if it goes to long I'd be surprised if there was time to go after anyone of the quality we are after. Besides which, I'm out of ideas for other strikers now!
