Well once again the Arse have got one up on us by signing Danny Wellbeck from under our noses, probably 'cos Levy was trying to get him on the cheap, when will he bloody learn, he maybe a good negotiator but I wonder how many other players we have missed out on because of him being such a tight arse, we will never know. What I do know is Wellbeck was just the sort of player we needed!!! :( :( :( :(

I just spoke to an Ars*nal season ticket holder who knows his stuff, his only words were " what are we doing buying Welbeck" Opinions vary !!

Glad we didn't pay £16 million, not worth that price.

I bet if we did sign him then the opposite few would have been taken. Criticism only comes to those that don't sign for our beloved club. Anyway; we didn't need another striker.

If we need a striker, it certainly wouldn't be him. The thing is, i am sure he will do well with the Arse!

Voice, Obviously you have changed your mind, I am sure you posted that we needed another striker, but then I could be wrong. ??? ???

I’m sorry but I will have to jump in here. Are you seriously telling me that Voice has contradicted himself? Never! Wouldn’t happen.
The next thing you will be saying is that he repeats himself a lot…
Oh wait a minute did you mean when he said this?
What we want to hear is that we've signed a striker and probably an attacking midfield.
Or was it here?
Glad to see we are strengthening our back four. Another striker and we should be there. :up:
Maybe it was here?
We also need another striker and probably a creative midfielder. Don’t forget that Ade will be off when January comes to play in the African cup. If things stay as they are we will only have two strikers and if we get injuries we are in trouble. I must say I was impressed with Liverpool; more so than last year.
No? Then it definitely must be here.
A good result for Spurs. That is three in a row. But the bigger test will be on Sunday against Liverpool. But I was impressed in the way that Spurs had performed. I still say we need another striker though, which I hope is on the cards.

I'm getting head-ache from this. Voice, do we need a striker or not? I'm confused.

You are totally right; it should have been we needed another striker. It was a typing error.

The only confusion was that I made a typing mistake. We do need another striker. I even wrote an article to say we need another striker. So sorry for the mistake. It only goes to show you that I am human after all. :up:

See, I knew it wouldn't be a contradiction. I sincerely believe you too. You have been saying for a while that was an area we needed to strengthen, hence my bit of fun. All in good jest I promise. 8)

Sorry Paul but I would have to disagree. Danny Welbeck is a good team player but he is not the out and out goalscorer that we are crying out for. So happy that the Arse paid over the top for him too!

The reason why Welbeck didn't score that much in ManU was that he was mostly played out of position. To be honest I've always rated his work-rate and believe he could have been suitable for us and will probably do well for Ars*nal.
-
I think he would be a quality purchase for that price. Is he more than a third of the quality of Torres or Di Maria? Or more than half as good as Andy Carrol or Juan Mata? In today's inflated prices 16m doesn't seem that much. I mean we paid 13m for Pav 6 years ago and he is far better than him. IMHO
I think Sherwood said on Talksport that we are a top striker away from the top 4. I would totally agree with him.

Does anybody know if Lamela played as ST for Roma? I seem to recall he did. So, in case Soldado doesn't come good, Adebayor falls out of form and Kane proves still too inexperienced for our level, we would someone capable of playing up front.

I take everything in good jest. People on here are good in spirit and a bit if ribbing occasionally can't hurt anybody. As I say "people who live in glasses house etc". All input is healthy. So thank you for your words. :up:

Whether he is an out and out striker or not he would have been better than nobody and that is exactly what we ended up with (apart from the defenders).

At this moment what striker would come to Spurs?
None of the top strikers that's for sure Welbeck chose Ars*nal no big surprise there Spurs have a new manager with a big job to do to get Spurs in touch with the top 4 who at the moment are light years in front of us.
Right now we have what we have and we just hope this guy can get us to where we want to be and we must give him time

I think you sum up the situation pretty well.

How about the Southampton striker Jay Rodriguez? He may not be regarded as a top 4 striker, however, he would have been a good acquisition for Spurs. Until we break into the top 4 we will always have problems enticing certain players to the Lane.

I think that we have to somehow discover talented but unknown young players, and bring them on in order to springboard our way into CL. Cant see any other way. I think that this is what Pochettino is all about, and maybe why he has been given a 5 year contract.

I read today that Manchester United plan to develop their youth academy even more so that they can bring on youngsters. I agree that you are right.

Being in the CL isn't going to solve our transfer problems I'm afraid. Firstly, Man U managed to get one of the top strikers in the world and a world class midfielder and they are not in the CL this year. Although their reputation obviously counts for them. Secondly and more importantly than that, when we were trying to get into the top 4 we kept saying that once we were there we would be able to attract the top players, we got there and then bought nobody of any real significance. Maybe if we are able stay in the top 4 using average players for 3 years, then Levy and co may change, but don't expect anything to happen anytime soon.

Dream on my friend!

The reason Man Utd got their man was because they pay 3 times the wages we do

According to Levy that is why we need a bigger stadium (or at least one of the reasons); that we me should be able to compete with the best.

I was very disappointed that we never bought Wellbeck. I always thought he was a good player. I just hope now that the three strikers we have got is enough. That is we do not get injuries that incapacitates them all together.
-
We missed out on a good player for a reasonable price. But would he have come to us even if we offered the same money as Ars*nal? I doubt it.

I think he might have if we could have offered him European football, that is championship football.

Maybe, but what he didn't want was to go to a club on loan, and that is all Tottenham would have offered him (if you believe the papers).

Unfortunately we shot our bolt with Soldado. When the likes of Chelsea and City make these errors of judgement, which they do, they just move on and spend another 100 million. We do not have such a luxury, and will have to wait until we can recoup some of what we wasted on Soldado etc, if that day ever arrives.

I am still not prepared to give up on Soldado yet. Hopefully he will be back soon.

At the moment that is the best we can hope for.
