Too fucking fat for Spurs anyway.
I don`t think he will go back to BVB like Sahin and Kagawa did . I hope he sees out his contract and comes for free next summer
Currently a way to go with the negotiation.
Bayern want €27m, whilst Dortmund have offered €23m
Even though we have no interest, that sort of figure isn't out of our realms of possibility? Wages being the main sticking point. However if we're entertaining the idea of Wijnaldum for £25m I know which player I'd rather sign.
Maybe Pav was not as successful as we hoped, but he was not a failure.He did look good in that game, before he also became a fat mess. Soon rectified that issue with the signing of lithe Berbatov and his languid style. The days when ENIC signed off on strikers....
Sheringham, (Postiga oops forgot him), Keano, Defoe, Kanoute, (Rasiak), Mido, El Hamdoui, Berbatov.
Then it went a bit down hill from....
2007 Bent,
2008 Pav, Campbell
2009 (Defoe and Keane) again :defoe::keane:
2009 Crouch (actually a success)
2012 Adebayor (patches of success, his loan period was)
2013 Soldado:soldadowatch:
Hopefully leading to, successful
2016 Janssen
Maybe that is true for Bent as well, though I am not so sure about him. His style was all wrong for Spurs.
Pav did have a glorious shot at times. Wasn't sad when he left though.
Signing Darren Bent (what was Comolli thinking?) was also a bit odd when we had Keane, Berbatov and Defoe. Especially as it also led to us selling Defoe to Pompey, was genuinely gutted when he rocked up down there at 22.30pm on deadline day.
Although when we'd beaten Roma 5-0 in preseason and bent had scored in every game I was thinking the guy was van basten. Then the season started.
I wanted Bent to work out as he was a local lad from this here parts and he was mates with some guys I used to work with and they all thought he was sound. He was just a limited type of player that really never suited the way we wanted to play.
Saw the same mistakes again when we signed Soldado, lovely guy who we'd all love as a mate. However the way he played just does not suit our style of football.
He's actually from Bavaria originally, but yes - his family now lives in Dortmund where his father teaches. Pretty sure his brother is still at Bayern, or at least was at some point recently.
I don't get why he's going back to BVB honestly, but I'm not sure what other option he really has either. He won't be one of Bayern's stars it appears and there's no other high profile club in Germany he can play for other than Dortmund (if he went to Schalke ... hoooo boy, that would be BAD).
He and Reus are tight though, and they play exceptionally well together and BVB needs a #10. Maybe it will truly work out. We'll see.
Nathan Dyer, lightest player in the Premier League. Who's gonna do the honours of opening the thread?
Pritchard is a bit fat.
Sky sources reported in June that Alex Pritchard had been put up for sale for £8m, while experienced centre-back Federico Fazio, who went on loan to Sevilla last season, is almost certain to leave. The futures of second-choice goalkeeper Michel Vorm and forward Nacer Chadli are also far from certain, while midfielder Tom Carroll appears surplus to requirements after Wanyama's arrival, and only has a year left on his current contract.
Pritchard? Sure. But Onomah really needs a loan first.
Sounds about right for all concerned.
Hoping that in particular Pritchard is given a single season to challenge, though
There's a Premier League price, and a price for the rest of Europe. The smartest clubs in England are the ones who can make the difference between the two prices as small as possible.
Reid always looked a bit chubby,
