Striker/s for next year?

[Mr Pink]

It's all pointing towards Berbatov at the minute.

is this just a hunch, or you heard anything?

 

[RichieS]

Why aren't more people suggesting Yakubu (at least as backup)?

He's shown this season that he's not too fat to cut it in the PL - his goal record has been outstanding.

He's six foot tall, strong as an ox, still only 29 and will likely be dirt cheap.

Plus 'arry knows him well - surprised we're not being linked with him tbh.

Bloody hell, is he really only 29?! I have to say, I'd be inclined to agree with you then. The backups shuld be relatively easy to get for not a great deal of money - which then allows us to really got to town on the main man.

 

[Mr Pink]

I thought Yakubu was about 34!

 

[felmani26]

We have already one brain-dead striker in Defoe, we don't need another in Yakubu ta very much!

What we need more than anything else is intelligence in the final third along with an obvious knack of putting the ball in the back of the net.

I'm not suggesting we sign him as our lynchpin, I just think that I'd rather have him on the bench than Saha or Defoe.

With the guile around him in VdV, Bale and Lennon I think he would do well.

It did cross my mind when writing that post yes!

But that is the remit for me when looking for a forward to lead our line and if he is available at a decent-ish price then he has to be worth consideration surely?!

After that, I still think someone like Fletcher is worth a punt as a rotation striker and is young enough to keep his value should it not quite work out but definitely has alot of upside about him.

I might be wrong, but if I remember correctly, THOWIG is in Manchester and does have connections. Like I say though I could be wrong.

He is Matty, that's exactly why I was asking

I agree mate.

Bet we are linked with Owen!

can someone with a better knowledge of world football than me compose a list of younger less established strikers they think would do a job for Spurs.

Not the obvious Llorente or Rossi types, more like an Falcao before he took off at Porto

Maybe 5-10 "one's to watch"

cavani wud be nice. i remember reading joe jordan is a huge fan. wud be great signing and if we missed out on signing like people say on hazard then using that supposed transfer fee on cavani wud be nice alternative.

mind you the day i see levy spend 25 million plus on someone is day i think i will have to eat my own runners. but a player to really bring us up a notch or two.

Doesn't really mean much. The guy's one of the best forwards in the world!

It was a typo. The correct sentence read: "Joe Jordan has a huge fang."

 

[tobi]

Jovetic can play upfront but I wouldn't include him in that list. Its a secondary position for him.

from that list I know 4, so this was exactly the type of thing I was hoping for. Thanks

Are you Jovetic's agent? Every post i see you make is bigging up the guy! He would be good tho. Wont happen tho.

Well if we've got money burning a hole in our pockets following the failed attempt to buy Hazard then spend it on Falcao, yesterday I thought there was no chance of getting him then someone posted about Athletico missing out on Champions League football and in need of money as they owe the third party owners from when buying Falcao from Porto so maybe we could??? I think his goals would definitely propel us into a title challenging team, he is awesome, the complete striker!
