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.
Someone 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.
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 Long
WE NEED TO SPASH DAT CASH!!!!!!!!!!

People are confused about what we are looking for in January. We aren't trying to buy first choice players as we have tons of players and it is almost impossible to buy quality in January. We are looking for depth to combat injuries and allow us to rotate properly.
Three places where we lack that depth current is CB, LB, and ST. I'd love a winter of Lescott and Buttner on loan and Fletcher. The thing is, if they don't end up playing much it is actually a good thing! Because it will mean we are healthy. They are insurance policies. We have the quality necessary to close out the season well, but our injuries have been crippling and adding players that could do a job as backups is extremely important. Not every player is in the starting 11. It's a squad game and we have injuries that are really hurting our ability to succeed in the squad game.

: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.
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!"

or signed benteke for 6 million for that matter ether...
we are tottenham hotspur which means we should have some half decent scouts to get us good players for cheap...
paying outrageous sums for players shouldnt be looked at as a badge of honor...
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.
He's strong as an ox and very good in the air. His limitations seems to be in the technical department.
A lot of strikers being discussed but the back line is dire without Vertonghen. I'd prefer to focus here.
I feel the same. We're talking possible replacements for our third choice striker while we have a sinkhole at left back that is hurting us, which consequently caused one of our best players to be also be hurt during a vital period after trying to fill it in. I have my first serious doubts with the current regime if we fail to bring in at least another left back this window. Yes, I see that as worse than selling Modric or Bale for top dollar after wanting to leave anyway.
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.

I think we'll get Caroll back from QPR and Defoe will go. That will be it.
That's your view, it's not mine. We'll see what the club's view will be.
