If DL could do deals for say Soldado and Bernard similar to the Paulinho deal our total spend would be in the region if £50m.

Both are being touted around the £20m mark, so I'd imagine we could do deals at £18m+ add ons maybe?

You'd hope then we'd be able to recoup up to £15m from the likes of Defoe, Hudd and Parker, leaving a net outlay of £38m. We've not seen that since the summer of Bent, Bale, Kaboul and KPB.

One day we may have a chairman who understands the concept of strikers in football and the concept of goals in football, marry the two together and get us a decent goal scorer, in my nearly 40yrs of supporting Spurs I can count count on one hand the number of top quality finishers we've had, not many at all!!!!!

Yeah it's odd. For all my life we've been a crap team carried by exceptional forwards (Lineker, Sheringham, Klinsmann, Keane, Berbatov etc). Since 2008 we've become a really good team let down by our crap forwards (the 11-12 Ade/Rafa year aside).

What a bunch of typical fucking Spurs supporters you lot are! ;) Turn up with a bit of optimism and you get instantly drowned in pessimism!

We're winning next year and I've got a big bet on at 40/1 so I ain't thinking about anything other than winning! Should that happen a large chunk of the wedge will be coming SC's way!

JJ,

What you said this morning about AVB needing to be convinced about Bernard. What do you make of what Jason Burt wrote in the Telegraph last night.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...a-reject-Liverpool-bid-for-Ryan-Bertrand.html

"Bernard has been admired by Spurs head coach Andre Villas-Boas for some time, indeed he urged the club to make a bid last summer, but they face stiff competition from a number of other leading clubs throughout Europe."

god knows why two people decided to give yidio's itk a spam rating
They won't be offering up any more for a while.

After yesterday's shenanigans the jackboots are on and if anyone fancies pushing their luck, well............

You missed out one who got 49 goals in a season ;) (and his dad who did ok too)
But he worked with Harry
the ITK looks to me like the club has been put on its honour to keep the promises made to Bale, if it does then he stays.
