Even MORE Spursy!Yeah, but none of of those teams have Pochettino as manager.
WE shoulda been Hoovering up their talent, not wait to see what crusty residue was left once Liverpool had sucked the last drop of spunk out of them!!!

Oh I agree completely, we should back him in the transfer market, but I've seen figures of £25m banded around, and now they've dug their heels in they'll probably want more. I'm not sure he's worth the first figure, let alone a higher one.
But will we be getting value for money, is the question. I've no doubt MS has different traits, strengths and weaknesses, but that doesn't mean we should have 17 central midfielders. He is being valued at an exceptionally high amount of money, and for me, he won't add enough quality to warrant paying that sum.
This statement is so so true. And so beautifully scripted as well.Even MORE Spursy!

I assume you mean CB? And I agree and disagree. I don't think we need Bony at all, at the same time I don't think we need Schneiderlin as we have so many other center back pairings that can do the job just as well. However we could do with a new center back... Then again Veljkovic looks very good so who knows, Poch might think he's good enough to be 4th/5th choice.The same talent we put six past in the league last year?
Id much rather 'spunk' the money Bony and a CD.
So we can put 10 past them.

I thought Origi was shit in the World Cup. He looked sluggish, off-pace and distinctly average. Very much like Yaya Sanogo. His record in Ligue 1 is appalling. I don't get the fanfare surrounding him to be honest.

i agree with this, but worry that if he doesnt score a few early his head will drop quickly.I would rather not sign bony. He managed a progressive 16 llast season which is impressive against Soldado's unadventurous 6. But I honestly feel , if given the support, Soldado could bag us goals and when it matters, that's the key for me. Too many of these big brutus forwards bully their way but struggle against the better sides. Soldado is an intelligent player and hopefully should come good.

Waste of money, don't want him and don't need him
Why are people so concerned with his price tag? Its not like the tickets will become cheaper if we dont buy him. Its about time this club start spending some cash. We all dream of top 4 and CL football but the moment we start throwing the cash around its bad. Funny how last year we spent 100M on players that the manager didnt realy want and this year we cant get ONE player that the manager thinks is vital for him. As sad as it sounds if u want CL football and top finishes you have to swallow your pride and start spending the big cash.
We can't do that though, without big money coming in from sales. Levy showed last summer that he's willing to spend, but breaking more or less even in total is what keeps us stable. However, we still have a huge squad, so it should be no problem to finance this deal for Schneiderlin by selling a few others.Why are people so concerned with his price tag?

I agree with you on the fact that he is willing to spend, wasnt the managers call. These 'deals' had 10000 of subpayments and shady things (like at any transfer) that benefitted Levy more then AVB. For some reason 3/4 of the players we buy have no intrest from other big clubs and our competition is usually other midtable teams. I know we dont rly stand a chance to big clubs in terms of salary, but still. We feel so cheap... Levy runs this club as a company and for profit. The owners of Chelsk/City/PSG/MANU run theirs for pride and ego.We can't do that though, without big money coming in from sales.
