I'm getting a bit fed up of Tittenham n everyone else but us being linked with the players i want (Lucas, Hazard) while we get linked with this rubbish. Sorry but 20mill for Defoe?? why the fk would we do that, just so totts can go and buy Reme?
We have missed out on way too much talent over the last few seasons, it makes me sick. Well if we can afford to spend 35mil on Carroll then we can afford to spend that on Hazard and Lucas. we need to be more ruthless in the transfer market against our competitors.
If the story is true at all, that we have inquired about Defoe which maybe true or not if they have said 20m we will have said no thanks, simple as that. He doesnt fit into the owners buying policy for a start, they may have been convinced to part with 10m for an immediate fix but no chance at all will they allow 20m.
Real life isnt like football manager, do you not think that we would be interested in the likes of Hazard? But he has so many options open to him that unfortuanetly we are probably not on his radar, he has reportedly all the top clubs in europe after him who all have CL football to offer him which is the thing at the moment we cant give this type of player.
Its not a case of being ruthless, if a player has two clubs in front of him (and Hazard prpbably has more) and one is an established CL team he will take that rather than a project. We are as big a club around but until we get back into the CL we cant really compete for these types of players. On a level playing feild then it would be a different matter.
