Absolutely spot on mate. You can email them yourself. They take player scouting from fans very seriously. Take it to the top don't bother emailing Hitchen he's usually out of officeI wouldn't be so sure about that. Diego Costa is not old, he is 32 and available as a free agent. I.e. He can still do the business for a few more years, given his style of play etc. In addition, even though he might not be 100% at his prime, even at his current state he is better than every striker who has ever played for Spurs, with the exception of Kane and Klinnsman. Identifying this opportunity is not a waste of time. I sent in emails about this to the club, but I have not gotten a reply. I just don't want to risk them overlooking this amazing opportunity. We can get a world class striker with a proven record in the EPL for free. Its Diwali come early.
Defoe was a good striker at his prime, but he is past it. While would be nice to see some of these guys for sentimental reasons, they are not on the level that Costa and Sturridge are. Those two are game winners and they would come to club.
I'm sure many of you who are active community and supporter club leaders have a voice or have a contact at the club. Can someone please write in and identify these opportunities for them? Especially Costa, we should get in on that before Woolwich target him.
just off the top of my head, Berbatov was twice the player Costa is
Costa is a one dimensional target man who certainly is a good option for someone out there who plays a very direct style, im not sure its us - or anyone else as he hasnt exactly been inundated with offers

Wait!he is better than every striker who has ever played for Spurs, with the exception of Kane and Klinnsman. Identifying this opportunity is not a waste of time.
Was talking about the period starting 2000.Wait!
You think Costa is better than Jimmy Greaves?
You said - 'better than every striker who has ever played for Spurs' you should have added 'in the last 20 years'.Was talking about the period starting 2000.
Jimmy Greaves, surely is a legend but other than a few highlights on youtube, I've never actually seen the gentleman play.

I did boss. I said:You said - 'better than every striker who has ever played for Spurs' you should have added 'in the last 20 years'.
There was football before the PL.
Your quite new so ill be respectful...this thing your doing with Chelsea players...we don't do that here. Happy Diwali by the way. Since your celebrating earlyOk. Let us look at the last 20 years. Other than Harry Kane, who have we had who we can say without bias is a better striker than Costa? This is a proven 20 goal a season striker and is among the Elite. We need to buy him. As a free agent its a bargain and he would love to come to Spurs.

Is Costa the one that looks like Odd Bod from Carry on Screaming?
For that reason, its a no...

I would sell my Son if Berbatov asked me to... fucking LOVED him.... he truly Oozed class... but then he fucked off to Utd.... same old same old.100% agree with Berbatov being world class, quite ashamed that I omitted that.
But Costa's ability to distract defenders would be amazing alongside the likes of Son and Lucas and Delle. I really think if we go for this, it could go down as one of the best free signings in history.
Now I know why all those shite bollywood films are rated so high on IMDB.Ok. Let us look at the last 20 years.

The way the media act you could be forgiven for thinking we are Southampton or Burnley level and they are a rival and the “big” clubs are doing us a right favour taking one of our better players. Ridiculous, why is no one creaming their pants about Ings ? Go give Southampton £50m and he’s yours with a bow tied to him.It doesn’t on one level. Kane has more or less intimated I understand, that he wants to stay in England, which would mean a Top 4 rival. He’s hardly looking to move to Burnley or Southampton.
I remember that film...Is Costa the one that looks like Odd Bod from Carry on Screaming?
For that reason, its a no...
