I don't understand the fascination with Benteke, to be honest. Yes, I do in as far as he's a monster in the air. But I just don't see him fitting in. If Poch's pressing is to work, it has to start from the front, and this bloke runs less than Ade. Do we really want to start punting balls up when we've got Eriksen, Lamela, Chadli and what have you behind a striker. Also, he strikes me as a hugely unintelligent player. His movement is poor, and he's forever STANDING in an offside position. With someone like Defoe, lots of offsides was somewhat okay because he was trying to break the trap with runs, but Benteke just seems unaware. Actually Belgium has fairly similar players to us behind the striker and he looks god awful there.
Agree - he fits a long ball team with quick players around him, as shit as he is we'd actually probably be better off signing Agbonlahor. Benteke won't work with Kane.
And we have an entire other section of the board for you to discuss that stuff.
This thread is about Spurs summer transfers and events that affect our targets.

Seems if we really want him there's still time to hijack the Inter deal. Saints see him as a Schneiderlin replacement according to the article. Hmm..
And another one bites the dust.

Can't see why Poch and co. wouldn't be all over this. He seems to be a perfect fit and I would love if we would pounce all over this. Then we could just focus on the wings and a second striker.
So Martial signed a new deal at Monaco?

Wish we would sign a CDM soon.
Means we can all chill out a little.

I want both to be our CBs.
Fancy Kramer myself for the DM slot. Started the world cup final (Due to Khedira injury) and looks a very solid player for the very limited times I have seen him.
Just something about him being German makes me think he will be good.
i like him too but i don't see them selling. I would like James McCarthy or Krychowiak.I want both to be our CBs.

What's Burnley's CDM like?
How about Jan at DM? Big, long legs, quite fast, decent tackler, positionally aware, good stamina, good passer, decent shot on him. But will probably throw a hissy if played there.
Worth a punt?

Last winter getting in a new striker was an absolute priority. We failed in that, and our season crumbled away from January onwards.
This summer, a new striker is still the absolute priority. I'm happy we have got Wimmer and Trippier in, but the main issue remains unsolved. Without at least one new striker in, another trophyless and disappointing season is looking very likely indeed.

We want solutions, not problems.
Who would you suggest that will play alongside or play a lot less than Kane and will significantly improve the squad?
