Mole_Toonfan Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Agree with that Bimpy, i mentioned it before that would should look in that neck of the woods. I was thinking more about Croatia than anything else, but Romania and others probably have some hidden talents too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when some of them are going for £8.5m we might as well give up already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Tancredi Palmeri @tancredipalmeri 3h Tottenham and Roma have reached the agreement for Lamela: 30m € +5m € add-ons According to the manager of Romanian outfit Steaua Bucharest, Laurentiu Reghecampf, Tottenham have agreed a deal to sign Vlad Chiriches: "The two clubs have agreed to transfer him. I'm very happy for him. I cannot say the amount for which [he was] transferred, but it is very high. It will be the most expensive transfer in the history of Steaua. The owner says that all there is left to do is sign some documents." Spurs are going crazy with the anticipated Bale money! Never heard of the Romanian player though. Eastern Europe is where we should shop a bit. Resonable prices. Nah lets just go French again. I agree but this would require a competent scouting network. What have we got? Some bloke in france on holiday taking in football matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Our appeal to French players is the 300% wage increase but that's about it. I may have exaggerated the amount, but still the mere fact a lot of Ligue 1 players are on wages that even Sammy would have to cut a wage cut Its pretty much the main reason we sign players from there, its difficult to attract players on 40k a week most of the time.

Unbelievable Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Probably Giggs, but CBA to go through the last pages of this thread: the sovereign state that is Cardif City have expressed an interest in Heerenveen striker Alfred Finbogasson. Heerenveen want at least 10 million euros. Source: http://www.vi.nl/nieuws/denk-bij-finnbogason-aan-een-bod-met-zeven-nullen.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Why the hell are Spurs spending the Bale money before he is sold? They are literally mentalists! My guess is that they already had an agreement with Real, that they will only announce the signings after Spurs have signed those replacements so that Spurs will not be held ransom by the selling clubs.

It seems odd that we are only interested in recruiting from France. Carr does scout in Holland, Belgium and England as well. Being cynical here, it occurred to me with the Sports Direct advertising being in French in the ground last Saturday that perhaps we are trying to maintain our profile in France whilst Ashley develops his brand in that country.

Would be such a good signing for Arsenal. Actually would be a great signing for 95% of CL clubs. Although it does look like Diego Lopez is the better keeper at the moment.
