    OMFG .. this geeza is strictly 2 bob. If this is true then I hope we sell Luka & Bale before the window shuts as we clearly wouldn't be matching even Jenarse's ambitions in signing this overated bellwipe

    If we were serious, surely we would bid the full asking price. Who have we potentially lost this transfer window because we wouldn’t go the extra couple of million? A certain Brazillian who now looks like a great buy and plenty of others. I assume we are not really in the market for him.

    As a viola and spurs fan i hope this transfer isn’t happening. Gilardino is certainly not to be underestimated. He fills all spurs criteria, he is a great finisher, great in the air, can play as a lone striker though he excells with an offensive partner at his side or right behind him. The reason he didn’t score as many this year is because the team has been plagued by injuries, and the players to support him havent got the quality of the spurs midfield at all.

    The only reason i am against this transfer is because it would ruin fiorentina as i doubt they will find a proper replacement. Also I’d say that anything below 18mil is too little for him.

    But i certainly do hope spurs find a quality forward soon, it seems as if they just let every opportunity to sign a star slide away… :(

    Is there anybody in the world who plays up front – or even crosses the half way line – that we have not been linked with. I am getting sick of it all now and will go to the Everton game to see who we may have bought and who we may have sold.

    Do something or just keep quiet
