Long... Fletcher... WTF? I thought we were aiming for the Champions League, not mid-table mediocrity...
Baldini is thinking that we signed mint players and now they are shit. So if we sign shit players they will be mint.
He is keeping it simple.

@ cahspur that's bony 13th goal this season
cahspur, post: 452123, member: 2291"]I think he's the worst striker in the Prem, and doesn't even move or run like an athlete. Would not be cool with this.
But i dont want CHEAP and unglamourous players at my club. I want expensive and classy players. I'm sorry but we're Tottenham Hotspur and we should be aiming higher than the likes Fletcher and Shane Fucking LongSomeone like Long of Fletcher as back up striker would be fine lwith me. Doesn't have to be either of those particularly, just an 'unglamorous striker' who would be cheap and be a good squad member. I'm assuming Defoe is history now. We also need a LB, CB or utility defender. Lescott would be a great addition to the squad IMHO.
:lennon: In his last two matches he's pretty much destroyed both City's and United's defences. Should have bought him in the summer.Works for them, but he wouldn't work in our system. He is incredibly unathletic, and rarely creates his own goals. Erego, he'd be doing no better than our current strikers.
It's a bit like last year where everyone was going "why didn't we sign Michu for £2m?".
But had AVB/Levy announced that we're signing this 26/27 year old from Real Vallecano for only 2 million pounds, there'd be uproar - "who is this guy" "I've never even heard of him" "Surely if he was any good he'd have done something by this age" "He can't be that good if they only spent 2 mill on him" "We're tottenham hotspur, we should be aiming higher than this!"

He's strong as an ox and very good in the air. His limitations seems to be in the technical department.Scorin goals doesn't mean he's athletic. You can make your argument all you want he's a decent player, but that dude's run is a waddle and I'll argue to my dying breath he's not got an athletic cell in his body. He's got a decent shot and decent positional awareness, but don't let that deceive you.
He's scorin goals, but I maintain he would do no better for us than our current strikers.
A lot of strikers being discussed but the back line is dire without Vertonghen. I'd prefer to focus here.
If Timmy Sherwood ever gets chance at a transfer window, I'd be very very interested in seeing who his targets are. I mean, some people honestly believe that he's like Redknapp even regarding the transfers too. That's laughable and ignorant imo.
Apparently, according to those better reliable jounos (the Burt types), Sherwood (when a technical director) really wanted us to sign ... Isco ... when we could have gotten him for around about or less than 10 million GBP!
But AVB wanted Moutinho for much more. Well, imo that's fair play because it should be the manager to decide his targets not some technical director.
But still ... that fact that Sherwood pushed for Isco, who clearly is a gem of a player, really makes me curious about Sherwood's transfer plans ... that is if he ever gets to make them.
Writing in his column for The Sun on Sunday, Redknapp comments that the Belgian would be the ideal player to fill a gap at Manchester City.
"The defence is not so solid and the guy who could put that right at a stroke is Jan Vertonghen.
"The deal to take him to Spurs was just being finalised when I left, and I think he's one of the best defenders in world football.
"The way he brings the ball out of defence makes him perfect for City. He would probably cost around £40 million, but an all-Belgian central defensive duo of Vertonghen and Vincent Kompany could prove priceless."
