Ditched by Spurs this morning. He could play in the hole couldn't he?
Sheringham's available
- Thread starter Dans
- Start date
Sorry he has passed it. I've watched some of Spur's game this season and he was no longer one-tenth of the player he used to be. Otherwise why would Hoddle ditch him as Hoddle like him so much?

also looks like dwight yorke has fellen out with Souness, am sure he could do a job.maybe we could bring in both this summer
George Best is out of favour too.
Looks like Yorkies acting like a twat again though. Where as Teddy is just another victim of Hoddles incredibly shortsighted plan to try and make them competitive by buying loads of geriatrics at huge wage bills. Spurs are screwed.

Get Teddy and Di Canio both on a free.
I'm damn sure Teddy could still do a job - in an emergency - with the players round him that we have. He didn't have that quality at Spurs.

Should never have gone in the first place IMO Livvie. And Di Canio we should have bagged ages ago. We dont need some world star 3rd/4th IMO. Not for next season anyway.
liv, he's passed his sell by date...anyone who's seen him play will tell ya that.
He was crap last year n'all. Moved away at the right time IMO.

How many goals has he scored this season?
He's not forgot how to kick a ball has he?
And he never had pace!
What is the difference?

Sub? perhaps. I agree with Weastey he's never had any pace.... but he's not the player he was at OT. Why else would Spurs fans want rid off him?? I've heard many complain about him.
(He had the chance to sign a one year contract....yet prefered to join Spurs on a 2 years one....suppose he should've stayed, I bet he would've got enough games n'all)

Both would give different options IMO, and would be free, and willing to sit on the bench. Not only that, but the experience they could provide, a la Blanc in reverse to our younger forwards would be invaluable. We've scored 124 goals this season with what we already have, and we started poorly for a variety of reasons, so I really do not think that we currently need another "world class" forward in the squad right now.
My opinion on this is well stated, I would prefer the money spent on fullback cover and wing competition if Beckham stays, and if not, a bigger midfield rebuilding job to start.
Lets assume Beckham stays, because no offer is made, Livvie is right, it would do, but I would prefer to sign the 30 year old Christiansen who has scored 17 goals in Germany this year. He has experience of playing for big clubs and little clubs, and is a season pro who can still hack it. Would only cost around 3m or slightly less IMO, and would be the perfect stop gap measure while other areas are addressed.
But I have no qualms about Di Canio or Sheringham coming, but would just prefer Christiansen.

What if Ruud gets injured??? I think we have to buy another quality foward. A di Canio or a Sheringham won't be good enough.
That's why I suggest Christiansen. Only 30, 17 goals playing for an average team like Boachum (sp) in Germany is one hell of a total. Had his problems in the past, injury and burnout (Barça played him from the age of 16), but an excellent player. Decent pace, good ball control, good dribbler. If he played for us I reckon he'd 15+ a season, from the subs bench.
25+ if played regular, which is not the idea.

jens thinks he's crap.... besides the market's flat..we can pick up quality players on the cheap....
3m??
7m buys you Kliuvert or Makaay.(examples)
So whats the better deal.. 3m for a 30 year old... or 7m for a world class 26 year old?

The market will remain flat for serveral years to come. We are not looking for a striker of the ability of Makaay (Who although wants to leave Deportivo, is still under contract I believe for another 2 years, and if Depor do not want to sell has a huge release clause). As for Kliuvert, you can stick him up your arse! Quality player no doubt, but a bit of a moody.
And in any case, we do not play 4-4-2 anymore, and none are as good as Ruud i that lone strikers role, Kliuvert especially would not cust th mustard. And also, neither would sit on the bench looking at their compatriot taking all of the glory. And also I believe that it is an insult to one of the best strikers in the game - one Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who if let loose would score just as many as the both of them.
We shouldn't be looking for 2nd choice IMO, as that is Solskjaers when required, but backup. A sub that will not mind sitting on his arse watching most of the time, but can come on and do the buisness, and not be moody about any of it.
The money needs spending elsewhere IMO, and that is on wing competition, and back cover.
Would you not like the option of a flying winger on the right again if that was the given tactic of the day? I would love such an option.

And that 7m for Kliuvert is a press joke!
missed my point, young weastey.
Fact is we can buy quality...for relatively cheap prices. Makaay and Paddy were just examples of players going cheap. btw Roy's off to Bayern for 10million Euros...

As I've already said also, my prefered win competition/cover is Denilson. He'd run the likes of Roberto Carlos ragged, and feck all over and rightback in the Prem. Then he'd do the same with all the leftbacks. Excellent ball recovery rate too. It's a myth that he's a selfish dribller of the ball who doesn't work out.
As for a pacey left wing player that can cross the ball, if that is more what you are after, De Pedro could be took for very little.

He will yes, but I do not think it will be a big name.
chelsea know they've got a player that takes care of himself. might be higher priced than expected, dunno
Sheringham isn't the player he used to be.
Uh! This thread has elicited serious posts. Hmmm. As for Denilson Waste, you may like to think that he'd run rings around premiership full backs, but I'd wager that he'll take a few good clattering tackles the likes of which he's never seen before and he'll go and sulk in the corner and that'll be him off to some Turkish club or something.

Definitely. But di Canio and Teddy on a free as well? I suppose the wage bill might put the mockers on that, but I'd imagine they wouldn't be that high - beggars not be choosers.
Bye the way Weaste - thanks for the novel. Get back to you later.
He's always taking clattering tackles, cropping him is the only way they can stop him most of the time. And he isn't small, he's about the same build as Giggs.
