I imagine Aguero will want wages topping £150,000 a week minimum considering how much he will be taxed. This will in turn piss off the likes of Modric, Bale and VDV who are paid just over a third of that.

Not a very well thought out plan tbh.

Aguero latest - we're told he must pay tax on top of the contract he buys out and Aguero's not willing to pay it.

AFAIK, spanish 'buy out clauses' are not the same as we think of them. Aguero must buy himself out of his contract, not the club, for £45m. Only problem is, once he has 45m in his bank to pay A.Madrid, he's liable to 40% tax.

Which brings it closer to 60m.

Spurs are goign striker crazy atm..

we could do with a good striker but he should sell someone first. like pav, or crouch.

Can't sell Crouch. I just bought his jersey, it wouldn't be fair if he were to leave the club so soon.

Reports suggest you lot are closing in on Rossi who used to play for Man United.

[jermaindefoe]

fook me, we do need a striker, and no way levvy would let keane go without having something up his sleeve

LOL I just typed in rossi into google and my first search result was a wiki one "Giuseppe Rossi (born 1 February 1987) is an American-born Italian footballer who plays for English club Tottenham Hotspur" - click the link and it actually says "Spanish club Villarreal CF"

The wiki page? Scroll down, it says he signed for us for 30mil pending a medical.

Well, it did earlier..

Well, we've got no defensive midfielders that should be in the team but I can see Harry opting for a Jenas, Palacios CM partnership...
I'd like to see a 4-4-2 again (Pav, Defoe up-top, Kranjcar, VDV CM), and just attack, attack, attack in the hope we score more than we let in.

[Sandra1993]

its sad that there are 2 goalkeepers on the bench tonight because of all the injury problems

Did any of you keep an eye on Hoilett during the match? I've only watched him once properly, but every time on MOTD he seems pacey, direct and powerful, looks to have real potential.

I just wikipedia'd him and he's only a couple of months older than me. How do these guys become so successful so early

He looks very promising, but tonight didn't really do much iirc, maybe one or two runs but nothing of note.

Palacios is more important than people realise, When he first came everyone was all if he just rediscovers a little bit of that form, he'll be class again.

I maintain my stance that jenas is a good player. Potentially.

442 does seem the way forward atm tbh, we are a defensive team.
