Guest Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I just used % as an indicator to see where I think Spurs are in terms of where they're capable of, and for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Is Carroll still living with Nolan? Because if so wouldn't the courts have something to say in the hopefully unlikely event that he signed for spurs? Why? He could live with Ledley King then. Don't think he's living with Nolan anymore anyway. OMG! Quick! Someone get the courts after him! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 £30m would be an unbelievable deal if true,no chance is he worth that much on the back of one good half a season. Well if we go down on the back of selling for 30mill then its not a good deal We won't go down if that 30M is reinvested back into the team, especially now with Barfa back from March onwards Well I think we would run a significant risk of it. Obviously we wouldn't spend the XXm (we'll say 30) on a replacement for Carroll having just sold him for that amount. So take half (15m) and get a replacement striker as well as some much needed cover in LB, DM and RM (presuming we could even strengthen that much in the January window) and hope they work out in the 4-4-1-1. A clear gamble. I'd be willing to bet anything we'd not get in someone as good as Andy to fit the current system. Results would suffer and goals would suffer. Ameobi/Best/Ranger aren't up for it. Or ditch that system and get in players to fit a new system while adapting the existing players to it. That will almost certainly take a while and results would suffer in the interim. And it's doubtful we could get that many in in January. Regardless of the amount, this would be a horrible, horrible time to sell him (if he's getting sold) imo because of what filling his absence means right now. IF he has to go it has to be the summer so the team can adjust with less pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Lol Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 What's the betting any Keane/Bentley deal is tied in with Spurtz signing Carroll? Keane is looking increasingly likely to go to Brum. Gio would be an option to add to Bentley plus cash for Carroll. That said, Carroll is the 3rd choice back up option, the first two are abroad. I don't expect Spurs to sign Carroll and I don't expect Spurs to sign either of the first two options either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likely hood of getting a deal sorted with Carrol with Spurs and us to attract and sign up 2 or 3 half decent players to make up the loss is highly unlikely in 3-4 weeks.

AlanSkÃrare Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Totally depends on his ambition and the clubs ambition aligning. Can Tottenham ever get better than what they're currently at? I'd say they're at 95% of what they're capable of. Think the best they can ever be is a top 4 side occasionally with the odd Cup win. We're at about 60% of where we could be capable of, which in 4-5 years time could be where Spurs are now. If he's to leave us, it should be for a club like Man Utd, Chelsea, or God forbid, Man City, where he knows he's going to win stuff regularly in the next 10 years. I don't agree that we're currently at 95% of what we're capable of tbh. Providing Levy still backs us financially, we keep all our decent players and invest in a few positions, we can be much bigger then we are now in a few years. It all depends on other teams though. I think you can challenge the very top if you abandon your wage structure in order to keep players like Bale and to attract some really good players in the coming seasons. Also that new stadium would further increase your revenues as it would - according to your financial reports - be full for pretty much every game even if it was in the region of 50-60k. Difference is Newcastle already have many of the pieces in place to make things happen, just need to make sure the financial part gets healthy before anything can materialise. And get rid of the monkeys running the club of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
