Wrong guy from there. We need Bruno Fernandes.

I think we missed the boat on this one...

See here...How do they get this stat by the way Juicy?
I also agree that we should sign players based on platitudes.I have to say that although I definitely warm to the idea of Isco/Barkley and also would welcome what Zaha might add that Sissoko and N'Koudou haven't, that the key requisite for us is the presence any signing may bring.
We do not lack quality per se (although a slight improvement in overall terms is needed) but I feel that at times we lack a player who, when they step on the pitch you think YEP, we got nothing to fear and every chance of prevailing.
It's a rare brand of player and that is why confidence bordering on justified arrogance might just be critical in choosing who that person is.
TBH that's how I feel about pretty much all of our starting 11. With a fully fit team we shouldn't fear anyone. We could do with strengthening the overall squad for sure but I don't see us signing anybody that could walk into the first team by replacing an existing starter.I have to say that although I definitely warm to the idea of Isco/Barkley and also would welcome what Zaha might add that Sissoko and N'Koudou haven't, that the key requisite for us is the presence any signing may bring.

I met a bloke from Sheffield once who claimed he slotted one past Waddle's daughter, he then went to the pub to brag when suddenly ol'Chris comes from behind and punches him right in the faceCome on guys. We've all fucked Lauren Moyes at some point in our lives. It's just a phase that people go through.

No such player really exists.I have to say that although I definitely warm to the idea of Isco/Barkley and also would welcome what Zaha might add that Sissoko and N'Koudou haven't, that the key requisite for us is the presence any signing may bring.

Perhaps, I have no evidence to refute or confirm it so I hold my judgementAnd then he woke up in bed
Why is N'koudou wearing a Celtic kit?
Win some silverware and there would be no reason to leave.
Its all well and good having a plan in place, shiny new stadium, loving manager etc but if you don't win anything, you're going to get the feeling that you want to move to win something.
Rose and Kane I believe have both said they want trophies. Obviously they'd love them at Spurs but if it comes to it and 2 or 3 years down the line, we still haven't, it'll be weighing on the players minds.
Kane is better than all of the players you name. Eriksen is too, in what he does. Berbatov is not, and has never been, as good as out current best players.It is the final step. The real glue but the issue for us is just having in our rank that kind of player who for years has become associated with brand THFC.
Bizarrely our recent highs have been achieved without such a player (Alli may become it but......)
If we had right now a Ginola, Bale, Hoddle or Gascoigne , we would be closer still. A 31 year old Berbatov without the sulks and we would win something without doubt.
It is these type of players in terms of presence that we lack.
