i prefer to go for realistic signings. aubameyang aint coming to us. u said " Borussia Dortmund's mercurial forward might be looking to develop his career further following his club's disappointing season and little chance of European qualification". isnt that the same as us. unless u mean europa league which i dont think is an attraction unless its to a player at a team who dont even get europa league football. he will be disappointed at not getting CL football next season. so i dont think his solution will be joining a team who hasnt got CL football & have little hope of getting it in the near future.Both can play behind Kane and vice-versa. Aubameyang is an attacking-mid / wide forward anyway
He can survive a season with no CL (assuming we make it next season) - if playing in England is on the cards an no other PL teams is sufficiently interested.i prefer to go for realistic signings. aubameyang aint coming to us. u said " Borussia Dortmund's mercurial forward might be looking to develop his career further following his club's disappointing season and little chance of European qualification". isnt that the same as us. unless u mean europa league which i dont think is an attraction unless its to a player at a team who dont even get europa league football. he will be disappointed at not getting CL football next season. so i dont think his solution will be joining a team who hasnt got CL football & habe little hope if getting it in the near future.
ok in that case i will go for tevez. because he can go 1 season without being league title holders! we're gonna win the league game. tis the problem with the what if game. makes more sense to deal with facts. no ones going to join on the promise we will get top 4 next season. lets just look at who we can realistically sign.He can survive a season with no CL (assuming we make it next season) - if playing in England is on the cards an no other PL teams is sufficiently interested.
Yes, VdV, Soldado, Lamela, Lloris, Eriksen, etc. - they never signed on that promiseok in that case i will go for tevez. because he can go 1 season without being league title holders! we're gonna win the league game. tis the problem with the what if game. makes more sense to deal with facts. no ones going to join on the promise we will get top 4 next season. lets just look at who we can realistically sign.
We need a wide attacking player to replace Chadli / Townsend - a striker / forward / winger - whichever you prefer, BardinhoDon't we have a 30 goal a year striker already?
Sign two older players as back up to him. Save 20m and spend it elsewhere, like RB, CM, CB, DM, RW.LW
we already tried to get bas dost. levy rang their chairman & said is bas dost avaliable? he replied in a singing voice " bas dost we shall not let him go, let him go!". those germans are odd.Name: Bas Dost
Country: Holland
Age: 25
Current Club: Wolfsburg
Estimated Value: 12-16 million
An excellent run of form in both the league and European competition saw his stock rise considerably this season.
if they did then they were stupid. i think we would have made the best offer to them & their clubs. i think u are naive if u think bigger clubs made better offers but they chose us.Yes, VdV, Soldado, Lamela, Lloris, Eriksen, etc. - they never signed on that promise
/facepalm
how can u disagree with a rubbish joke.we already tried to get bas dost. levy rang their chairman & said is bas dost avaliable? he replied in a singing voice " bas dost we shall not let him go, let him go!". those germans are odd.
Van Der Vaart didnt.Yes, VdV, Soldado, Lamela, Lloris, Eriksen, etc. - they never signed on that promise
/facepalm
I DID IT!! IT'S THAT EASY!!!!Millbanks - superb input
Heung-Ming would be my pick as well
If you can throw a few images for reference - would be great - simply copy / paste in the post
Scott mate, you can keep disagreeing with who you think is and isn't realistic (of which none of us know - crazier things have happened than Aubameyang joining Spurs) or you can actually add to the thread as requested.ok in that case i will go for tevez. because he can go 1 season without being league title holders! we're gonna win the league game. tis the problem with the what if game. makes more sense to deal with facts. no ones going to join on the promise we will get top 4 next season. lets just look at who we can realistically sign.
I said 'if no other PL club offered Aubameyang a better deal'if they did then they were stupid. i think we would have made the best offer to them & their clubs. i think u are naive if u think bigger clubs made better offers but they chose us.
Matty Phllips.We need a wide attacking player to replace Chadli / Townsend - a striker / forward / winger - whichever you prefer, Bardinho
Name: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Country: Gabon
Age: 25
Current Club: Borussia Dortmund
Estimated Value: 29-26 million
Borussia Dortmund's mercurial forward might be looking to develop his career further following his club's disappointing season and little chance of European qualification. Offers both pace and technical ability along with deployment in various attacking positions. A truly versatile attacking player who would improve our front line substantially. Unfortunately, might be out of our reach by now.
?Has literally said he'd never go to Tottenham
