Time to say goodbye.

Damiao would be a summer signings if we did have a chance with him...which i dont think we do

Still... We wouldn't be letting Pav go if we only had Defoe and Ade as out-and-out strikers.

Remy must be at the Spurs lodge

Whatever happens with Pav I shall have some good memories of him, mostly from last season and the CL, the two goals (ok pens) that sealed the 4-1 win over Twente that calmed me down a lot after VDV was sent off and I thought we were going to throw it away. And the goal from Bales cross agaisnt Milan.

The amount of time some Spurs fans watch other leagues and kill on the internet in forums we should really start a scouting website with recommendations for the scouts to look at. With the way the internet is today and video sites we could argue points with clear examples. What does a scout do? Go to matches and watch games, maybe training sessions as well. Surely they would have time to discuss (or at least read) fans thoughts as well. (If presented clearly and not just people going sign x he's well gud innit)

Surely scouts only get info from the resources we have (games/media coverage) with a bit of help (ha) from agents and people at clubs. Why can't we start a fan scouting network up. (Hell, I might even watch some foreign leagues if I thought I could help out my club).

Pav has given us some good goals, his Volley against Bolton last season was never given the attention it deserved

My issue with scouts is putting aside all the problems around Suarez..we apparently went to watch him 14 times over a 2 year period and yet we didnt deem him good enough?

31 Moments

Good idea. Can I be a senior scout? I'll dedicate all my free time to FM11/12, FIFA 12, YouTube and the BBC Gossip article

I'm glad we didn't get Suarez now - people were saying Samba might be a disruptive influence, but that little has done himself and LFC no favours.

I'm still quietly confident Damiao will turn up at the lodge at SOME POINT - the special relationship we've got has got to be good for something!

RRP - I'm inclined to agree with them at this moment in time, technically he's great, plenty of skill and movement. Yet. his conversion rate is awful. According to this link it is only 7%

That could be wrong, but for a striker that was what £22m? its not that impressive, though everything else is fairly good for him.

Still Im glad we didn't sign him, his petulance annoys the hell out of me.


@Doovde, I think we need to see more of the players than video games and the BBC gossip (reposting rubbish from trashy papers and thus giving it more credibility than it deserves).

The idea for a site though would be interesting, surely there are Spurs fan clubs in many countries that could offer us more info about players in their leagues. If they watch them on a regular basis surely more knowledge is useful than just a few games.

If they did go and watch Suarez 22 times (and didnt they think he was more a VDV player - well I suppose with the conversion rate they might not have seen him as a main striker rather a potential playmaker). It would be nice to hear why we thought he wasn't good enough (even though I am with them on this one).

GIO

could care less if anything happy to see him leave. all this talk about how talented he is yet i never saw any of that when he was wearing a Spurs shirt. hope he sits on the bench wherever he lands.

I hope he is a success where ever he goes and the same for Pav.

Its a sad case for Gio as in my mind its another talented youngster we have failed on. I feel Harry is too old and with the pressure to succed on his shoulders he doesnt have time to nuture the youth we have.
