wouldn't mind him but i don't think we'll be able to outbid madonna or angelina jolie!
i had a dream about SWP last night and he was hiding in some bushes in a park.
i be happy to have him and not sign a left winger have swp and lennon switching and bale coming forward to put in crosses from the left
I agree with this. 10m on Bale, 10m on SWP 15m on Shneidjer and 8m on Kaboul. We would not need a left winger because we would have options in Bale and Lennon / SWP and we would not need a striker because we have 3 good ones already and either SWP can cover the 4th striker role or Lennon and SWP can play as out and out attacking wingers either side of one of our strikers.
Personally I would rather we did this as it addresses the REAL weaknesses in our team. Playmaker, cover for King , left sided player ( Bale ) and extra winger. That is IMO a championship chasing squad. I do NOT support us paying 17m for Bent unless we have so much money that it does not matter. We would still need Kaboul and a left sided player like Petrov ( say 10m ) and a playmaker (15m ). That's 60m. Can we REALLY afford that ? I doubt it. ,
The truth is it is unlikely we will get Shneidjer so we will most likely end up with Bale, Bent and Kaboul. And Defoe will leave. I would rather we had Bale, SWP and Kaboul with Defoe staying.

I don't know much about Kaboul but SWP and Shneidjer would be excellent signings. If Mido leaves we really should get another striker, though. Berbs can't play every game and we would be left with three short players to choose from up front. SWP and Defoe would be the shortest strike partnership in the world. Imagine if we played like that, plus Keano on the left and lennon on the right. Very attacking, but average height 2' 4".
I guess Dawson could play up front. That might balance things. On Winning 11 his second position is CF. If Jol actually researched his players using W11 then he would know their real abilities.
If we signed SWP I would be worried about Lennon's future as a Spurs player. There have been rumours about him being unsettled in London and missing the North, and I can't see him and SWP in the same starting XI.
We would surely get more money from selling Lennon than the price of SWP though, which makes me a bit more worried since the board might take the quick profit. Hopefully not.
