Not seen Juninho play in quite a few years and worried he may have lost a yard of pace but delighted to hear we are finally signing the Brazilian.

The Brazilian Pav...

That's a chilling but apt comparison.


Technically he's the Brazilian Arshivin. And whatever crap forward we panic buy because he won't come will be the Brazilian Pav

Just so everybody knows, AVB will tell that yet to be determined player "Apenas fucking correr um pouco"

;)

I like the Journo. He gets some good stuff. Not Spurs-specific but seems to have an in on the general grapevine.

Of course, this leaves us with many many problems, if what he says is accurate. The Inter chairman, DL, about 50 bujillion agents and Leandro himself. If it happens then meh will be my response. Not happy not sad. I'm just grateful Moutinho is off the market if this deal does happen. We might have some news on a completely new player!

I really hope it's about Leandro, rather than Bernard. We really need to prioritise forwards over more midget wingers

I'm actually not convinced we are looking at Bernard at all tbh. All the links to him started about 10 minutes (time for a quick google and youtube view) after he came on against England the other day.

Check out the Bernard thread for comments from Dante suggesting not only are we looking at him, but he's thinking about it. (y)

The rumours started well before the England game. It was the Paulinho rumour that appeared straight after that game.

These non stories about Damiao are getting so boring. It is depressing that our chairman and that club can't even agree a deal in between 2 years....

never ending story

That's perfect.

Maybe we could nickname him Atraeyu or make a cover of the limahl song to fit Leandro

Why on earth would a Munich player try and pursuade him to go to Dortmund?

I just think our name is being used here as part of another situation, like the Cavani and Kjaer episode.

He is clearly a gonad. That's all I got.

no way. bernard's a potential superstar, damiao's ten-a-penny.

Disagree. We've already got 3 players in the Bernard mould (Bale, Lennon and Townsend), whereas we've been waiting five years to replace Berbatov. Half decent goalscoring #9s under £25m certainly aren't ten-a-penny.
Yidio was pretty adamant no Leandro yesterday... Hope it means journo referring to the other one

There's been no credible ITK on Bernard at all. The Cobra one has been the only snippet to make read only.

On Leandro however there's been plenty positive noises from some of the most reputable ITKs like JJetset and Edmonton

he is nothing like those players. picking the lock is just as much of a problem for us as finishing chances. bernard greatly helps with the first. damiao hasn't done anything to warrant this hype, would you want us to sign fred? as he's the guy keeping damiao out of brazil's team. there's no evidence whatsoever to suggest he'd be any better than defoe or ade.
