relámpago blanco Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 What kind of system is Hughes planning on playing to keep all these strikers happy. Bellamy, Santa Cruz, Tevez, Adebayor, they always seem to be linked with signing loads of strikers. robinho Aye, but he's more flexible than the others, they'll just stick him on the left wing or something to fit all the mega stars in up front. Bellamy can play on the wing, can't he? I thought thats why him and souness fell out as he told him to piss off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen927 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 They're locked in talks for Adebayor, he's basically a better Santa Cruz, so that was a wasted signing unless they just want very good back-up players. They'll shift players like Benjani (why did they sign him again?) and Caicedo, but they'll still be left with too much competition for places though I doubt many will complain about being on the bench when they're picking up their millions over the years.

Minhosa Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I think Adebayor will go. He'll be swayed by the dollar fo'shizzle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Two more have got deals following time at Glenn Hoddle's academy. 12.15 Dave Cowley and Lino Goncalves have secured contracts at Recreativo Huelva after benefitting from the Glenn Hoddle Academy (GHA).

Minhosa Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Read an article about that Glenn Hoddle Academy at the weekend. Very noble thing he's doing but the business model's a bit iffy. He's basically bankrolled it in the hope of flogging on the revitalised/further developed players. It didn't mention whether or not GHA include any form of sell on clauses - presumably they must. Fair play though - always nice to see these lads with potential given a second go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to get something back when he's put so much money in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they do - they get a development fee - which is like a transfer fee but because the players cost so little (about £120k seems the average so far) I wondered whether or not they have a sell-on clause too.

As much as we really could've done (and still could do) with a player sharing his characteristics last year (pace, tenacity, aggression etc) I'd be inclined to stay away from Bellamy the character. We wouldn't have went down last year with a fit Bellamy but then you could say that about a load of ex-players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subject to personal terms, Adel Tarrabt going to Malaga with an option to buy. Spurs in talks with Kyle Walker. What's the point in Walker. I mean he's looked v.good when i've seen him but how many rb's do we need ffs (didn't he play lb in the playoff final?). Anyway it looks like both Gunter and Chimbonda will be sold so maybe that's why we're getting him (although we'd still have Corluka and Hutton).
