Harry Kane...who had a five minute cameo in our first game of the season, and was then at Norwich and Peterborough for the rest of the season.
I think it how's how desperate we have become for a striker we are contemplating taking Franco Di Santo who has a goal ratio of 1 in 10! I'm all for strikers having more to their game than scoring goals but I think this is pushing it a bit too far! I just want us to sign someone! And Nani I really think should be a player we should be looking at. He is definitely worth a gamble at the money being touted. He is a proven premier league player. He was United's players player of the year 2 seasons ago and in the PFA team of the year so it's not like he hasn't performed consistently in the premier league already.
I'd rather play Harry Kane, gingerpele. Kane has potential and looks promising. Di santo's record is already ****! If we consider buying anyone of that mediocre ability, we don't deserve to be anywhere near the top 4.
Barca want Torres,but only as a back up striker Swapping the Chav's bench for theirs,just like Modric then!
Torres can't endure another torrid season at Chelsea so it's best he leaves and Barca's perfect for him. PSG want Bale for £85m and AVB for £10m. We're looking at Garreth Barry,one GB goes and another GB comes in. Take the £95 mill.Spurs will endure without them.
If we got close to 100 million for Bale and AVB I wouldn't blame Levy at all for taking that. That is a huge chunk of the new stadium paid off. I'm all for keeping our best players but this IMO would be too good to turn down.
Never mind the new stadium,there is probably money planned for that,if we are serious about winning trophy's,and C/L football,we need to keep our best players,not sell them because the money is a lot,replacements as good will cost just as much!
If we did sell for £100m (and i'd still prefer not to) then we should be looking to invest £100m+ back into the team, not saving it to pay for a 60k seat stadium for a mid/bottom half prem team (which is what we could well become)
I see that, according to The Times, we are very close to agreeing a deal to sign Affelay from Barca...we'll see!...
