Spurs showed you can resist a lot until the offer is too good to turn down. £60m for those 2 players is brilliant. But to me it looks like a fire sale rather than a Levy move.

 

I'd have said fire sale because of the ownership change, but getting Koeman in is a bit of a...er..coup. He'll have an excellent youth system plus a fair wodge of cash to remodel the team the way he wants.

Anyway ... it's looking as though Emenike will join Chelsea, so yet another top Nigerian player for Mourinho to castrate. Great.

 

woah!  is he any good?  surely not at chelsea's level anyway

 

They'll no doubt have him as a bench scrub. He'll do better than Torres and Eto'o did last year though. I can see why Mourinho would like him because he's very competitive and physical. So he'll suit the more direct Chelsea approach.

 

wonder what he doesn't see in ba, ba has the same attributes and imo looks 10x the finisher this nigerian lad seems

 

It'll probably be Costa, Ba and Emenike. I imagine he wants three options for that central striker role. Torres and Eto'o are done.

 

 

wonder why the costa deal has stalled

Emenike can play as a right forward too though can't he? Could see Mou using him there to hit teams on the counter.

Lob 5m in the youth system, tell people you want to GROW rather than be one of those disgusting teams that just buys their way to success, reduce overheads (players) but improve (cheap) assets behind the scenes. SELL.

they clearly still plan on staying in the division. Probably getting jealous of Fat Mike's pockets. Their losses where unsustainable but they'll be more than fine now and could tick along nicely with that youth set-up.

He's trying to force through a move back to Brazil to replace Fred [/obvious]

Very difficult re-building job ahead of Southampton, but it doesn't always go the way of Spurs if it's done correctly. If they re-invest all the money raised from player sales, then good luck to them. :thup:

Paying a fortune for a forward that's had one really good season, this sounds familiar...

 

and was rubbish in the World Cup. How much is he costing?

 

Wasn't fit in the slightest. He'll be decent there imo.

They've agreed to pay the £32m buy out clause... Think Negredo possibly a better finisher...

He nearly dropped Lambert in it in his interview, he said Lambert had been on the phone constantly basically and then backtracked when he was about to say "to get me to move too", and said "errrrrrr, saying what a great place it is."
