I remember listening to a world football phone in with Andy Brassell and he said that Damiao's lack of formal training had meant a lack of discipline; also meant that he wasn't used to opposition players adapting to him so his role in the team was providing diminishing returns. Anyway you look at it : not worth the money.

I agree, for 20 million not worth it...but if we could get him for around 10 it might be worth a stab...if u guys want a big point man traore from Anzhi might b another option
Report: Tottenham Hotspur have first refusal on Clint Dempsey loan
Would rather see our boys fight it out for a place ...
Though, I wouldn't be surprised if it does happen. He does score at valuable moments.
So, I guess it just depends on how much our (attacking) players are clicking come January.

If Dempsey comes back who will he play over? Chadli, Lennon, Townsend, Lamela, Siggy - any of those at LW? Holtby, Eriksen, Siggy - any of those at CAM? I'd love to see him come back, but I don't think he will. He is on big wages, and would be pretty worthless to us. He doesn't play our style and would only add more depth to two of the deepest positions already.
For me January is very very simple, sign a left back and leave everything else alone.
:baeshock: ahem....
This seems like an easy refusal
RE: Keeper; Lloris is going to be sought after in the summer, without doubt. Monaco have already made noises and with Valdes probably leaving, last I checked, and Barca on the market, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they enquired.
That said, it would benefit any young keeper to work alongside Hugo for as long as possible. I don't know how instinctive Lloris' anticipation is but if it can be taught, then it needs teaching early.

Any chance of snagging Courtais? Or is he a Chav cunt through and through no matter how many times they look him over for an old man in a helmet.
I gave you a 'like' hoping to get you to 1,000 reps. I am nice like that.....but also a cunt.
What style? If anything we play slower than last season (and score less).
He won't come back due to playing time but would for sure play over Chadli and Sig when he is going through a dry spell.
Im pretty sure Valdes has all but agreed to join Monaco, and i can see Reina going to Barca, would love Lloris to sign a new contract before the summer. Along with AVB, Jan and Kaboul!
I heard Monaco have been told that their players now have to pay 75% tax like the rest of the league. If this is true they will do well to keep / attract more top players. 200K into 50K. Ouch.
TBF, it's a 75% marginal income tax rate on every euro over a certain point (I think 100k€?) Granted, these players are making 100k/wk, but let's say that the first week is taxed "reasonably." They then get 25k every week for the rest of the year
