So there have been a few articles regarding this today, with sources ranging from The Sun to Yahoo Brasil that his agents are in London at present trying to tie up a 10m deal for him to join Tottenham. If it was to become reality how would you feel about the signing? I remember him during his AC Milan days but haven't really seen much of him since his wilderness years. Is 10m a reasonable deal or would you rather see us go for Austin or Berahino, albeit at a higher price? Thoughts please.

I haven't seen much of him in recent years but it appears he has turned his form around and has had less injuries. His form at Milan was apparently hit by growth spurts causing muscle problems so I read.

And the drinking, parties and drugs that ended up with his wife giving him the boot

Still only 26, undoubted class, injury problems seem to be behind him, good goal scoring record wherever he has been, would be a gamble but I would take him, he could be another VDV type signing.
It`s almost certainly media bolloxx though, I think we will be back in for Berahino.

I'd be happy to see him at Spurs. He's constantly played for the last three years without any injury problems and at £10m is worth the risk.
He is also someone that will not be expecting to start every game especially as he has to get used to the league.

So, isn't Son supposed to be the Kane backup??
He certainly put in a shift against Wet Spam although perhaps his shooting boots were missing.
Pato probably comes with a lot of baggage ... the sort that disrupts the dressing room. And isn't he already too old for this Spurs team?
This rumor smells like Levy trying to make up for not spending on Berahino. I do not like it at all

Okay, I changed my mind ... someone says Pato is only 26. Well then ... do the deal and hope he's not another Paulinho.

Haha this pato deal is crazy. he will not be coming to us. (Unless we are desperate well we are desperate but not that desperate!)
Pato plays on the left now but is due to return to his parent club sao paulo who do not want him back!
According to a Brazilian scout friend of mine pato is off to a big money deal in Asia. (I'm guessing China) he was offered round to Brazilian clubs only two were interested joinville who are gonna be relegated or palmeiras but it was dependent on them winning the Brazilian cup to get into the copa libertadores and overcoming the Derby hostility.
Pato lol lazy journalism.
I would love us to sign embolo of Basel that boy is gonna be something special.
