£10m is a widely stupid fee for him. Be a mug to pay that much for him and feel sorry for the lad if Liverpool will only accept that as he'll never get a transfer and he'll never oust Reina.

He's worth about £3m. Average player.

 

I wouldn't pay 3m for him.

 

I've spent the entire second half of the season on the verge of shitting myself every time someone takes a shot at him. And as for free kicks ...

 

Please don't sign him, Martin.

Brummie was actually responding to Gol's prediction that you lot would finish top six simply because you're buying a lot of players in, with what was a fairly reasonable argument.

 

Don't think it was intended as a proper dig at Spurs, more at the argument itself.

 

But you know, horses for courses and all that.

 

Indeed.

 

It was a pop at the spending money ----> instant success argument.

Oh, hadn't realised that's what I meant. Thanks for putting me straight.

 

EDIT: In fact, reading back, it's pretty obvious I didn't say that. Bet they finish above you though.

i didn't say he did say that.

 

It could have been inferred from what he said - paraphrased as 'Spurs will spend loads of money, bet they do well'.

 

I was just pointing out that we could have said that last year and look what happened, and that money doesnt guarantee success (makes it more likely, though)

I thought that confidence was the only issue with Carson. Weren't you happy to be getting him for £10M prior to the England/Croatia game, brummie?

 

I've never seen a keeper go downhill so quickly.  Yes, before that game, he looked solid. After it, he was just awful. Said this here before, but I feel really bad for the lad, he seems the likeable type, and clearly wants to do well, but he's just disintegrated.

 

As you say, confidence is a big issue, but an unconfident goalkeeper is not something you want.

Disheartened Crouch offered passage back to Portsmouth

 

Gary Jacob and Nick Szczepanik

 

Portsmouth were holding talks with Liverpool last night about re-signing Peter Crouch, the forward, who left Fratton Park six years ago. Harry Redknapp, the Portsmouth manager, has asked the board for funds to bring in several players in a determined attempt to build on this season's eighth-place finish in the Barclays Premier League and their appearance in the FA Cup Final, in which they will play Cardiff City tomorrow.

 

Redknapp wants a target man to partner Jermain Defoe next season and believes that Liverpool will sell Crouch this summer as he enters the final year of his contract. Liverpool's £15million valuation has been a stumbling block, with Portsmouth willing to pay about half that. Redknapp has also considered Dean Ashton, the West Ham United forward.

 

Crouch has frequently expressed his frustration at the rotation policy and his lack of opportunities at Anfield. Liverpool rejected an inquiry for him from Manchester City this season. The England forward left Portsmouth for Aston Villa for £5million in March 2002, two days after Redknapp took charge at Fratton Park for the first time. He scored 18 goals in 37 appearances in the league for Portsmouth, since when he has also played for Norwich City and Southampton. At 27, Crouch has played for seven clubs and has accrued transfer fees of £15.5million in his career.

 

Redknapp has concerns about his attacking line-up for next season. Kanu, the Nigeria and former Arsenal striker, will turn 32 in August, John Utaka, also of Nigeria, has been a disappointment after an encouraging start, David Nugent remains available for transfer, and Milan Baros, the Czech Republic and former Liverpool forward, is on loan from Lyons, although Portsmouth have the option to buy him for £5million this summer.

 

Meanwhile, Peter Storrie, the Portsmouth chief executive, denied that Redknapp is considering stepping down. “It's an unbelievable load of rubbish; complete and utter makebelieve,” Storrie said. “I can assure the fans that Harry is going absolutely nowhere. Harry is furious about this - we all are.”

 

Kanu is expected to play up front in the Cup Final against Cardiff tomorrow, when Portsmouth's defence will be important. Cardiff will attempt to do what only one man, Chris Clark, of Plymouth Argyle, has achieved in 2008: score against Portsmouth in an FA Cup tie. The bad news? Before they can even get David James in their sights, they have to find a way past Sol Campbell and Sylvain Distin.

 

The formidable central-defensive pairing came together last summer when Distin arrived at Fratton Park on a free transfer from Manchester City. The appearance in the final vindicates his decision to move from City to what might be regarded as a smaller club.

 

“I played for Newcastle and I didn't win anything, I played for City and I didn't win anything, either,” Distin said. “At Portsmouth, I'm going to play in a Cup Final for the first time in my career, so for me that's the most important thing. I remember when I signed here, some people didn't say too much, but I could see in their eyes, ‘Why Portsmouth?' They have the answer today.”

 

Distin won the French League Cup in 2000, in an upset that he hopes will not be repeated tomorrow. “It was with Gueugnon, a second division club at the time, against Paris SaintGermain, who were a top-four club. A bit like Cardiff against Portsmouth or Manchester United,” he said. “We had a bit of luck, we had good footballers. We believed. For me, Cardiff are not a small side and it's going to be a tough game until the last second.”

 

Campbell has also made a point to those who thought that his days of collecting trophies ended when he left Arsenal in 2006. “I hope I get a lot of respect for that,” he said. “I'm a fighter and I'll always keep fighting. I've won the Cup [in 2002, when Arsenal beat Chelsea], played all the games and then been in the stand for the final, been suspended - I've had it all.

Spurs linked with Angelo Palombo for around £10m, a hard DM is definitely needed.

 

Spurs ITK's are all agreed  Bostock is costing £100k upfront, further £400k when he makes his debut and more extras, numbers of appearances, international appearances, winning pots, up to a max of £5m.  Typical Levy deal tbh.

"Martin O'Neill could turn to Stephen Carr, who has been released by Newcastle, after being priced out of a move for Porto full-back Jose Boswinga. (Mirror)"

 

Yeah, it's from last week but I just spotted it.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I've been going on about Palambo for a long time on the spurs boards and no one knew who i was on about. I would be over the moon if we get him.

 

 

Talksport reporting that we've signed Dos Santos. What a shitty signing that would be.
