Somewhere like Swansalona would be good for Carroll.
Couldn't agree more. And Laudrup is good at young players he has faith in - if he could coach him using his own experience Carroll could learn so much.

Lack of ITK since yesterday afternoon. Pathetic effort.
But on the last bit of ITK...I hope that any loan for Carroll is to a Premiership team as if not there's no point. It might be that AVB thinks he's ready to be part of our first team squad, but if not he has to go to a team at a decent level.
Does anyone find it a tad odd that we might be able to buy a Brazil international (formerly 1st choice) striker, of a tender age of 22/23, who will inevitably improve, all for £12-15million...?
I'm not too sure that stacks up. I'd love to, I really would, but I can't get excited about this yet...not again.
Edit - I'm not in any way knocking ITK's here either...this stuff keeps me going all Summer
I don't want to sound negative but maybe he's just not that good after all. Altough I haven't actaully seen him
This is my worry Jim lad, I have said this from day one, just after we were first linked with him the season after winning the double.
I am very happy to e proved wrong though.
This is what is niggling at me too. I don't want to sound negative but maybe he's just not that good after all. Altough I haven't actaully seen him, from what I remember reading he was a relative unknown who then had a magic 12/18 months in a weak league, after which Inter saw $signs. Now that his form has slumped and no one else is interested, they are realising that he's not worth more than £15m max.
It could go two ways. Either our waiting game will finally pay off or we buy a dud. I just have an uneasy feeling about it. Then again, we didn't know much about Sandro and that turned out pretty damn good, so what the hell do I know.
I know DL likes to string out his negotiations, but surely 51 years is pushing it a bit...Christ, that's even longer than we've been linked to Huntelaar.
Where the hell are you getting these figures from, he is worth nowhere near that, I thought it was £14million in jan acceptedInternacional rejected our bid in january (£20m). Why would we get him now for £17m?!
I would love to see him in a Spurs-shirt but i´m afraid im not going to
does seem strange no one else is willing to put up any serious money for him, and we dont seem to have any rivals this time around either even though his value is dropping.
A potentially risky signing i think.

We are always complaining we didn't take the plunge on the likes of Suarez/lewandowski/Torres at xx million and now they are worth triple.
Now we are complaining that diamo might not cost enough!
We've been after him for years, I trust the scouting considering we've wanted him that long!
just a shout out to all the ITKers in the house.
Going for my morning dump i about 15. Would you mind adding some tastey reading material.
Regards,

We can't have it both ways though. There's been a lot of criticism from fans for signing players like Dempsey who are seen as low-risk, so maybe we do need to take a risk for once.
We've also been scouting this guy for 3 years now so surely we must be certain that we think he's good enough.
If it was mine (tho I'm not conceited enough to assume it was) its on page 2 of yesterday's thread. http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/ind...ead-the-bipolar-edition-30th-may.97850/page-2I can't find that quality song for Leandro to the tune of yellow, deserves it's own thread that does
