You might not be far wrong. Sniffing round Walker too.
The times when I would be worried about this are long past.
United aren't the draw they once were, and certainly not worth 'going down the league' for as a player.

Isn't this what Tottenham should be about. Bring in talents at a reasonable price, develop, cultivate and sell them ridiculously expensive.
I don't see another way to compete with the oilbillionarefootballfunsideprojectowners.
Problem is we don't have the half developed Rose replacement talent yet.
No it isn't what Tottenham should be about. It's what Tottenham became for quite a while. A team that sold its elite players for large sums of money, when those elite players decided to down tools to get their move.Isn't this what Tottenham should be about.

So you are saying Poch is going to Man City (ITK?)Get the feeling that Rose absolutely bums Poch... Can see it in body language and interviews (seem to remember there was one where Rose admitted that he was the biggest 'teachers pet' in the squad.
I reckon Rose appreciates that Poch has made him twice the player he was before, and that he'll only continue to improve under his guidance. So until Poch goes I don't see any reason why Rose would.
Totally agree with the sentiment but the bottom line is if a player wants out and someone's offering to double their wages then there's very little we can do except for get the best deal possible, which Levy always does.No it isn't what Tottenham should be about.

This Tottenham is an entirely different beast. Bristling with talent all through the team. Dare I say, genuinely capable of challenging for honours.
It would break my heart to see this team being systematically disbanded on the basis of profit.
Fuck united & the rest of them. I wouldn't be selling any player that didn't want to leave.
That's what I was saying mate. Bale was the last player who agitated for a move.Totally agree with the sentiment but the bottom line is if a player wants out and someone's offering to double their wages then there's very little we can do except for get the best deal possible, which Levy always does.
Of course we shouldn't sell a player that doesn't want to leave regardless of how much money is offered but when have we ever done that anyway?
Berba, Modric and Bale all forced moves.
Saying that I feel more confident than I ever have before that almost all of our players would want to stay at this point in time. Poch is the key to that and our future rests in his hands imo.

Isn't the problem with Sturridge that he can't/won't press? Not to mention you're only getting him for like half of the season, and that's if you're lucky.This might sounds crazy, but should we look into Sturridge? I could see him leaving Liverpool this summer. His injury history is risky but it also drives his price down.

Have you tried writing him a letter?In my honest opinion a move for Defoe or any striker near his age and quality is 100% what we need in the summer.
Pochettino needs to see this.
Physically broken, so absolutely useless. A real shame, as he could have been a really great striker, but he simply cannot stay fit enough.This might sounds crazy, but should we look into Sturridge?

He also hates being played on the wing. Bitched constantly about it while at Chelsea.Isn't the problem with Sturridge that he can't/won't press?
I'd rather give Defoe one last turn to finish out his career at the top for one or two years.This might sounds crazy, but should we look into Sturridge? I could see him leaving Liverpool this summer. His injury history is risky but it also drives his price down.
Agreed. I'll leave this post in his office first thing tomorrow morning.In my honest opinion a move for Defoe or any striker near his age and quality is 100% what we need in the summer.
