end of Gomes do you reckon or just in as cover?

 

Serious competition for him rather than cover.  Gomes had a bad spell at the start of the season but that bad run cost us about a dozen points or so.  If he does it again, at least we could take him out of the firing line.  Two good experienced keepers like Given and Harper seems like a no brainer when you've only got one option and he couldn't catch a cold.

Palacios signed five and half year contract for £12m + £2m add ons for winning things reported to the Stock Exchange.

 

Saved yoursleves 2 million then.

Depends whether winning the Championship counts or not.

Wonder if its just for the Carling Cup this season. If Sir Alex plays his shadow squad in the final Spuds could well win it again.

 

Dont think he will though, when its the final and your one game away you really want it even more.

Honestly don't think Palacios is a lot better then what is currently at Tottenham in his position and at £14 million would it not of been more wise to spend it on a proper Left Winger or a Left Back that can actually defend?

Crazy talk! Spurs only buy players in positions they don't really need to strengthen!

Watching Pompey go straight through the middle time and time again confirmed there are a lot of positions needing improvement, a CM with an ability to tackle was one of them.

Thought most Spurs fans thought there weakest area was at CM. Got to agree if Jenas gets a game.

 

Just shows how many players you can sign in a position without solving your problems! You'd think after signing every midfielder going they'd be sorted already.

Remarkable really they have spent £14 million on Modric, £9 million on Jenas and 8 million on Zakora and now Palacios for £14 million.

Don't forget the boy Bentley, a snip at 15 million quid.

think spurs lack presence and intellect in central midfield, ie a disciplined defensive midfielder. not sure palacios fits the bill there as. even though he is fairly strong and a comfortable passer, when ive seen him he tends to look for the opportunity to break forward whenever he can - bit like jenas actually.

 

oh, and - i wish we had been in for him  :sadnod:

I must admit I am a bit jealous of the Spurs fans. They have got shit done in this window. Palacios is a player who would have been massive for us.

Pretty sure Modric was actually £16.5m, thought Bentley was £17m too but less sure on that one. How much did Huddlestone cost?

 

Huddlesone cost £1.5M rising to £2M.

 

 

Transfers in this season

 

Palacios  £12M

Gomes  £7.8M

Corluka  £8M

Defoe  £14M

Modric  £15.8M

Bentley  £15M

Dos Santos  £4.9M

Pavlychenko  £14M

 

Transfers out this season

 

Keane £20M

Berbatov £30.75M

Sunderland trio £18M

Robbo £3.5M

Kaboul £5M

Ghaly £1.5M (apparantly he went today)

 

 

 

So our net spend this season has only been £13M. Think we're the only club in the league that conducts our transfer business 'FM' style.
