Jedi vaj..... doubly moist.
I'm all for the talented youngster signings too and they should be made each and every season without fail, coulibaly springs to mind as one of these. A bit risky, possibly a pub trivia questions in the future but they excite the fans and can be highly profitable when it all comes off.
These two are a bit beyond talents though. This is a lay em down, in your face, statement of intent from the club IMO.
We're here, we belong and we're not going away.
Throw in Paulinho and Villa, snaffle Deulefeu and we'll have the title in our sights....
I know for a fact we do not rate Coulibaly! Everyone around the training ground thinks he's living off his hatrick against brazil. Personally I can't comment because I've only seen clips of his goals and haven't watched him play but just passing on what I've been told.The difference between Jedvaj and Halilovic & Coubilaly is that when we signed Coulibably it seemed purely reactive to that one tournament he had; it seemed like we didn't have much of a strategy. The Croatians are two of the most highly touted youngsters in Europe if not the world, and to me, especially given that Roma were in for Jedvaj just a couple of weeks ago, have the hallmarks of Baldini and his desire to spend money on the best young talent.
So these signings carry a lot less risk when enough work has gone into them, rather than just watching one tournament.

No idea on CroatsBut as Hash will confirm was told a week agoBrazilian doneThe HUD Defoe Dempsey all for sale.Bale agent adamant bale stays this seasonAvb and baldini want 4 more and don't think the Croats includedNothing ground breaking but all from top table
Assuming this is true, that means 1 brazilian + 4 more which means total we target 5 new signings and let 5 to go.
Paulinho, Villa, Soldado, 1 winger and LB.
What's so funny? I've been told by someone who works with the players.
How much are we paying for these kids anyway?
I read somewhere it's £17m for the pair. I'm surprised Daniel Levy's SC army of self-appointed accountants haven't popped up yet to tell us we've got no money. Probably busy in another thread saying we should offer Barca £8m plus 4,000 Nectar Points for David Villa.
for anyone who didn't catch it, there is an overload of exchanges between JJ and Storts in the last thread

IIRC Archibald said something similar about 5 incoming at the end of the season.
Hmmm if so I think forget abbout LB, I think 2 strikers, 2 wide wingers and Paulinho will strengthen us. Maybe ask for a bundle deal for Villa + Afellay (EUR 3M) since Barca wants to offload them.
Absolutely need a left back....we were cack there all last season.Hmmm if so I think forget abbout LB, I think 2 strikers, 2 wide wingers and Paulinho will strengthen us.
Football Manager 2013/4 is going to be sweeeeet
World Class keeper - no need to shell out there.
Bale - will be god, hello LongShots 20! Freekicks 20!
Jan - IMHO he will prob be slightly overrated, but will do for the first 5 seasons.
Holtby/Siggy young and coverings for the next xx years
Dembele/Sandro/Paulinho - fairly highly rated outside Tottenham too - so should be decent enough.
Villa (cough) - scoring goals left right and rhubard for a few years
bahoooom!
