Seriously benteke for under 20 mill would be amazing deal he has the potential to be world class strong fast great in the air great on the floor. Don't get why people are so down about him. However I could see spurs launching a cheeky bid of 20 mill for Rooney obviously he wouldn't come but can you tell me honestly you wouldn't want Rooney at spurs when he would clearly want to prove a point. Imagine a front 3 of Rooney benteke and bale or bale Rooney villa :o

Not sure about the Jese Rodriguez situation, never seen him in action, however his scoring form was quite good last season for RM Castilla!

The only way to make Levy pay attention is to hit him where it hurts. His wallet. Good know how many transfer windows our need for a quality striker has been ignored and failure to dine at europes top table has followed.

Tomorrow the new kits will be released and preordering will be expected to be in full flow as agter all, we are but a cashcow to be milked. Well I don't know about you but I like the idea of No new Striker, No new shirt. What do you think? No ordering or buying of kit until or illustrious leader buys us the striker we need. If enough if us stand togeather, no matter how unlikely, maybe just maybe someone may just listen.

Would be a good idea but it is Levy you are dealing with and he couldn't give a toss what the fan on the street thinks! He knows that us fans will be there whatever, because that it what we are like, followers through thick and thin, good times and bad, s*** forwards and good forwards, oh sorry, got that wrong! If what is said in the papers about waiting for a late bid AFTER the season has started for Benteke, we will still be starting with little and large, the useless twosome, up front!

Agree0 Disagree0

I won't be buying the kit anyway, under armour are atrocious and have no style whatsoever. Bring back Adidas or Puma anyday.

Agree0 Disagree0

As a spurs fan of 30 odd years, I don't gives flying fack who makes the kit.
It's my teams shirt. End of.

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't give a fack either, don't buy kits/shirts anymore regardless of who makes them. Commercial bs!

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't get this levy bashing, look were are club has grown to under him. do you all want him to spend 50 million a year and if we don't get cl we end up a leeds. you armchair fans need to get real

Agree0 Disagree0

You won't be buying the kit? Who cares! In a few years time under armour will be one of the biggest brands in the world. Rugby players are using it, the police force, army, schools, gyms have all strong interest in the product. not to mention Americas NFL & Basketball players. Do you know what this means. more money, more money, more money.

Completely agree with the last poster, why all the hating on Sir Levy, he`s by far the best chairman in the league, so what we haven't bought a striker yet, but guess what the window has only just opened and we have a month and a half before we need to panic. so chill boys and girls get behind the team and AVB and Levy. I`m sure he knows which direction we are going in and that strikers will be bought in in time. He loves the club as much as anyone, he is also person don't forget.

COYS!

Much love

Agree0 Disagree0

The club don't even get that much money from shirt sales. And it won't be enough to make Levy want to spend. But let's be realistic here, the window has been open for a week, he's just spent £17m on a WORLD CLASS box to box midfielder. A full Brazillian international. Think about that before you start the hating. There's plenty of time to get th striker we all desperately want to see.


Dom

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes Dom there is still plenty of time but surely you understand we have been waiting over three years for this striker, and as much as I would like to see Villa come, he is still a cheap short term answer as he is what, 31?
I don't think it's Levy hating by all as such, just exasperation ( spelling )! I do admit to my own dislike of him though.

Is Levy mad, Benteke would cost 25 million +, when you could get Gomez for less. pull your finger out levy and sign us a striker.

Erm, it's only the 7th of July. Give him a few weeks at least. Before you say pre season this, pre season that, paulinho is off on holiday now, so a new striker can start with us when paulinho does if need be and that's probably another couple of weeks.

Agree0 Disagree0

^^dont the lads fly out to Hong Kong on Monday?

Gabriel

Agree0 Disagree0

I think you have missed the point. We still got another couple of weeks before a striker needs to be in to prepare for the palace game. If we buy a striker in 2 weeks, he would start training with us the same time as paulinho and would be raring to go come the palace game.

Anyone else got the ominous feeling that levy will sell defoe and ade but wait till last minute to sanction baldini into making a bid? leaving us without a striker and leaving baldini to take the blame?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

What would be his motivation to do this?

Agree0 Disagree0

One of his normal tricks. Hope not, he is proving me wrong so far this transfer window!

Agree0 Disagree0

He knows if we become strikerless, then selling clubs can add on value because they know we HAVE to sign someone. New strikers will be in before they leave, I'm sure of it.

Agree0 Disagree0

I doubt JD or Ade will be sold before a replacement is lined up. may be announced after a sale. but we won't go into the new season worse than we ended the last one. might not go in better either though.

SS reporting that Jese Rodriguez of Real Madrid is a reported target of ours could leave them to get more football? I don't know much about him and its the first time I've heard him linked with us. Anyone know anymore?

Hi lads (and maybe a few lasses),

Just a point on Bentekkers - If Levy is trying to play hard ball on price with us, if he is even interested then I think he has his work cut out!
We know how much Benteke can be worth & we aren't in any rush to cash in on him. Perhaps Spurs going for Bony is a better option? probably about 1/5 of the price of Benteke & they are rather similar.

Hi,
He had a good season but £20-25m is just bonkers. With all due respect I really hope we don't go for/pay that for him. He could do very well again and live up to those sums next year in your improving, young side but we need to look elsewhere IMO.

It's the way of the world Simmo.
The likes of man city and the chavs have driven prices sky high.
Fernandinho for example, 4 years older than paulinho. Less caps. Less goals. Behind paulinho in the pecking order. Man city pay double the price.
That's where the problem is and it's affecting the whole of football. Others try to follow and fail. Loserpool for example. If a club asks stupid money, we have to move on. COYS

Agree0 Disagree0

You're bang-on, look at Negredo. In January it was rife that he could maybe be bought for £10m. Now Man City want him in July and he's £20m. Crazy.
