Which of course is crucial.
No transfers this year.
the only feelings people give a shit about on this site are in the groinal region
History!!!!!
well we've a few new young players, it's not as desperate as some make it sound. We've still saha
but Manucho is an unknown quantity. If he can get himself 10+ goals, it all helpsLast year?

Im happy as we are but we do need a striker and Louis Fragile is not the answer.
Get him on a Webster next year, so that we can laugh !
fecking hell.
Are you going to repeat this same "feeling" (with absolutely no substance, other than your own paranoid thoughts) every single day between now and September 1st?
Petrucci, Manucho, Silva twins
The year the before I meant
..thought I had slipped through a time warp.

I think it worries you too.

It will be dissapointing if we dont get a striker. I mean its not as if we didn't knew that we needed a striker. The club had over a year to secure one and yet failed to do so.
Manucho is unknown quality (a slightly bigger name then Dong was) while the others are still kids. Nothing wrong with signing up kids but none of them would solve our problems upfront. Maybe Petrucci will in 5 yrs time.
Should we also add a 14 yr old who signed for us recently?
We brought Tevez for that.
Its this year that we had finally admitted that Saha is a waste of space.
You know guys, if we'd just signed Tevez and Hargreaves last summer, and Nani and Anderson this summer, we'd be here now happy as hell, not even bothered about a new striker.
I think it's just the boost factor that a new signing gives everyone that's the issue at present.
We do need a new striker though, and has been a pressing issue for 2 years now.

What SAF tells the press and what is actually going on behind the scenes are rarely connected.
I'm inclined to believe that the fly in the ointment are these cnuts at Zenit, who have convinced themselves that Spurs will have the gutes of 50 million quid burning a hole in their pocket, after selling Berbatov and Keane, hence they're charging crazy money for Arshavin (a fee which put Barca off, weeks ago)
Spurs, OOH, won't sell Berbatov until they can placate their fans by unveiling two Russians, not just one.
If Fergie gave even a hint of progress in the Berba deal, then the russkies would dig their heels in and hold out for top wedge. If they think that Berbatov might stay put, then they will have to be a bit more realistic.
Anyhoo, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
I'm actually not all that arsed if we do miss out on Berbatov. I think our squad is good enough as it is, providing Saha spends a few less games on the treatment table than he did last season (which isn't a fecking huge ask, to be fair).

Honestly I would still say that we need a striker. If Manchester United signed Essien, Nesta and Zanetti this year I wouldnt be happy because they are not the players that we need. What we need is a striker.
A like for like striker replacement I mean.
Tevez is more of a withdrawn forward and not a Ruud replacement.
Dick Advocaat was just on SSN now and he said Arshavin signed a four year deal last year, so if Spurs want him they will have to pay the price we are asking.
He was pretty firm about that.
Your theory is a good one.
Negotiations have obviously hit a snag. If SAF says he's not optimistic about bringing someone in before the deadline, then I'm inclined to believe him.
Didn't Dick just say a week ago they reduced Arshavin price, and he will move soon.
I don't disagree with this off hand, but how is it that you or I can tell what is happening behind the scenes in any given scenario?
SAF, like any public figure in any sort of authority, will receive press talking points and will have a framework that he answers questions within. Media manipulation is of the utmost importance in situations like these and similar ones. But we have no way of knowing about certain events if not for the media, which we have admitted are often manipulated, or else are simply liars.
My point is that all of the drama surrounding this transfer comes from such little fact and so many red herrings. Any sort of theories to explain what little we know will always be shaky, and it turns us all into gossiping old women.
People writing songs or getting tattoos because of such gossip are entirely amusing, but I wonder about the sanity of modern football.
Interesting theory. Some fecking journo will probably nick it and it would be in tomorrows paper though.
Guys there is still plenty of time to sign him.
If Berbatov stays against his wishes i can see it destroying Spurs' season.

When you look at adding the de Silvas and Passebon and probably Manucho thats adding plenty. He can feckov and stay at spuds. Save the cash and make a hard run at Benzema.
Dude, Benzema is not interested. He would cost a fortune.
He has openly stated that it is his desire to play for Real Madrid or Barcelona.
Do we really want a re-run of the Ronaldo situation with another player?
But what good will that do for Manchester United?
The thought of this over the next few days may make Levy sell him especially if the negotiation stalling is over the difference of a couple of million.
Have we signed him yet?
Gosh, repeatingly pressing F5 every minute is tiring.
On another note. In terms of views, how's that counted?
If say I hit F5 ten times a day, does it count as ten views? Or does it mean the number of viewers who've ever viewed the thread?

Fair enough.
I have to say, though, that Berbatov being capable of being a disruption for an entire season, should speak volumes about his professionalism. Firstly, I don't see him being such a character, although he may try his best to force through this transfer during the window. Secondly, if he was capable of something like that, I wonder if this should not calm certain people's obsession with him, especially since SAF still has a complicated ego in Ronaldo to deal with.
I think Berbatov Knows that this is really his last big chance of a move to a top side.
If we don't get him before the deadline we never will.
Buying Berbatov this summer and making the Tevez loan permanent would have "completed" our forward line for the next 4-5 years.
Next summer will be all about bringing a squad replacement in for Giggs (No easy task!!). You could also add replacements for Neville and Scholes to that as well (You never know!).
So potentially with a new striker as well next summer we could be looking to bed in 3-4 new players. Not ideal IMO.

Good question..........MODS?
I think it's the number of IPs which've visisted the thread.
