Like I said, he was probably just being nice and keeping his options open. He'll be aiming higher than you lot. If he does sign for you it'll be out of desperation at the last minute.

Probably just being nice. Far too big a player for you lot. Same with Mata.

Why would Mata or Adebayor want to go to Tottenham???

He is both technically and physically good enough to do a job in the EPL.

Villa are turd.

could have been in much, much better shape though It's not like we haven't tried is it?

Manchester City have spent over half a billion pounds in Transfers in the space of 4 years.

My mistake, had assumed you'd got this over on another forum.

good trolling by Luke

Cracking up at this. Anyway, who are you on the other place then?

Nolan was scoring the goals of two strikers, but he certainly wasn't doing the work of two

Think no one accept it and are happy. But what to do? Ignore this thread until we get some sort of indication that this might be happening imo

He's an idiot. Let him rot in the reserves.

3 in 4 actually Both are technically correct, yes?

3 in 3 stat influencing that, no doubt.

Not sure if serious.

Scratch another -10 youngster Actually, nobody cares about Arsenal youngsters these days do they? I mean people have started to see through the haze, haven't they?

We would only get one of Defoe and Erdinc.

Look, if you're happy to spend £600-1000 a season to watch a football team that is simply incidental to a transfer investement fund, then go ahead. What is wrong with wanting to sign players because they are good to watch and not thinking about re-sale value. What does that matter to fans? We are not running the club so why do people take this Football Manager-like view, as if we pass on one player, the club will announce 'hey lads, we've saved a few bob, who should we get?' The club will make decisions regardless of what we think (and has shown this consistently) so why should people get het up about finances? Can you not just look forward to the football? It's fair enough if people don't rate Defoe, everyone can have an opinion on him as a player- but we shouldn't go around discounting players because we are unhappy with the impact on our free cash flow for the year. And nor does that mean anyone suggesting spending some money thinks that it all grows on trees and is disciple of Peter Ridsdale. Just think the club shouldn't be puching above it's weight in an unsustainable manner. That view isn't particularly detrimental to my enjoyment either. I mean, I think we've been very frugal this transfer window and have made small steps forward. Consequently I'm looking forward to the start of the season, hoping we play stronger over the course of this season than the previous. I think we're both on the same page, yours is just half full.

£10m for Defoe? No thanks. That's double what I'd be willing to pay for him and he's probably worth something in between.

I'll believe this when I see it. Baffling lack of awareness on whoever is responsible if it does turn out to be true.
