Had major growth issues at Milan (grew about 8cm and 9kg in 5 years) which took a toll on him and has probably robbed him of some of his blistering pace. Can still finish though. Depends on the price and how/ if he's rebuilt his game

Damiao?

Injury prone and too similar to Soldado imo. We need a target man like Benteke, Lukaku, Giroud etc... to give us a genuine alternative.

Lionel

From all accounts he's struggled to find form in Brazil, could be a bargain if these stories are true.

Super.. agreed, a proper target man capable of holding up play and getting on the end of crosses would be ideal.. if only Ade could be bothered..

I dont think he is very good tbh mate. Always showed glimpses of brilliance, but so has Fraizer Campbell lol.

Bale's, interestingly Ade did an interview with the Sun today. Doesn't really say anything that couldn't have been guessed already, but does confirm that AVB has sometimes 'interesting' man management skills.

Think he'd expect to be a starter if he went to Spurs. Could he be paired with Soldado? Doesn't AVB like one guy up top usually?

Super

To be fair he refused a transfer in the summer.. while I respect his desire to prove himself I don't think it reflects how AVB is with most of the squad. We wouldn't have one if that were the case.

I'm disappointed he's not being played in the cups though.. seems like a nose-spite-face situation.

Pato is a wonderfully gifted player, but we certainly dont need an injury prone player.

Every Spurs fan and his dog knows we need another LB. but we also need to shift Adebayor ad maybe Defoe and bring in a Benteke / Lukaku type.

Its ironic that Adebayor is that sort of player but he obviously has no future at our club.

Would be a terrible signing in my opinion:

- he has done nothing of particular note since returning to Brazil with Corinthians. He often looks disinterested and struggles to impose himself
- his injury record speaks for itself
- hard to see where he would fit into AVB's favoured formations. Second striker his best position and we hardly ever play two up

That's a big no then.. target man please Baldini
