Are you new here?nice topicArcspacE but why the need of giving so many disagrees?
I have to say that your lack of self awareness is terrifying.
Fair enough, pollute every thread with bullshit about conspiracies to Sin Bin and continue your pattern of disagreeing with the person instead of the post. But to then whine about others derailing threads with patterns of bad forum behaviour is astonishing.
I prefer not interacting with you at all, so not happy at having to quote you, but someone needs to pull you up for this bollocks. Have a look at your own behaviour and people may treat you differently. Continue to act like you are and people will continue to treat you with no respect.
Precisely mate, this thread awash with Baldinis love children
I have half a mind to create a Youtube video for Andros, the England goals the few things he has done right, and send it to a Fiorentina fan board to see if they fall for the same shit
Name: Grzegorz Rasiak
Country: Poland
Age: 36
Current Club: None
Estimated Value: £0-£0
Cracking Bargain & probably more likely than any of the above......
You forgot the Complication video...
Name: Miroslav Klose
Country: Germany
Age: 36
Club: Lazio
Estimated value: free agent
His contract is up at the end of the season. He is a legendary player. Worth a punt? Rumored to be off to Brazil club Sao Paulo
Name: Alexandre Pato
Country: Brazil
Age: 25
Club: Sao Paulo (on loan from Corinthians)
Estimated value: free agent
Contract is up at the end of the season. Likely to either remain in Brazil or return to Italy. Might he be tempted by a move to White Hart Lane?
Honestly, I'd prefer it if everyone got on better on here. It'd make me less depressed for us all. If you stopped with the tin foil hat stuff and constant disagreeing, I'm sure it would make the forum a better place for many on here. If you don't care about that, I can't really do anything about that.
As for the thread, no I'll not be sticking to the template. I think anyone posted over the age of 28 or over £15m is complete fantasy. And we should sign one of Ings, Austin, Rhodes, Gestede or Chicarito.
Brilliant. Means we can get Zlatan.
Half of these players aren't even strikers.
Danny Ings for me.
Fuck your dossier.

Name: Iker Munian
Country: Spain
Age: 22
Current Club: Athletic Bilbao
Estimated Value: 17-23 million
A winger of immense ability and potential who's already racked up nearly 200 senior club appearance by the age of 22. Offers blistering pace and goal threat to match, improving our much maligned left flank following Bale's departure. One would imagine he might be looking to move at some point, having spent his entire career so far in the Basque giants. Would be an immense capture.

Good thread mate.
Of the ones you've suggested, I think Dybala, Aubameyang and Muniain are out of our reach. Not seen Martial so interested to read your thoughts on that one. Bolasie, for me, it still not proven enough at top level. A good 4 months doesn't warrant the money they'd demand for him (I guess around the top of your valuation - £15m).
Personally, looking at the league I watch the most, I think we could realistically target -
Name: Son Heung-Min
Country: South Korea
Age: 22
Current Club: Bayer Leverkusen
Estimated Value: 14-22 million
Despite another decent season, he has been much more under the radar this year, which I feel will reduce his value in such a publicised, media-orientated transfer market. With a goal every 2.5 games for Bayer from the wing, he'd be a big improvement on what we have currently.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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. At 25, this is his first real breakthrough since joining the Bundesliga in 2012, but he has shown if the service is there, he knows where the goal is.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Karim Bellarabi
Country: Germany
Age: 25
Current Club: Bayer Leverkusen
Estimated Value: 10-15 million
On the opposite wing from Son Heung-Min at Bayer, Bellarabi has had an excellent season after impressing on loan at Eintracht Braunschweig last season. With 9 goals and 4 assists so far this season, he would certainly add firepower to our forward line. I could best describe him as a stronger, quicker, more technical Nacer Chadli. Would be a good alternative to Son Heung-Min if we couldn't get him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Max Kruse
Country: Germany
Age: 27
Current Club: Borussia Monchengladbach
Estimated Value: 9-14 million
8 goals and 8 assists this season says it all. A great eye for goal, but also very unselfish and able to pick a pass. Works well with a striking partner, so would mean a change in formation for Poch to get the best out of him, but of course that would mean two up top with Kane accommodated. Strong and good in the air, he would offer a good alternative also when Kane needs a rest or gets injured.

Fair enough.
My opinion is that if we don't bring in a defensive mid and a creative attacking player (be it wide forward or central...ideally can play both) we are fucked.
Having watched Pritchard's a bit i think he's pretty damn good for the wide left role (as cover for Eriksen would be ideal imo) so a central attacking creative mid would be nice.
A dm to partner Benteleb is essential. I don't care how many quality cb's we bring in...we will still look exposed time and time again if we partner Benteleb with Mason who has no positional sense.
