Eto'o to Spurs

Like I say, Benzema would be like winning the lottery, but who else, realistically I guess, would we have?

Classic powerful & pacey no.9's are somewhat thin on the ground at the moment. Looking at a majority of top European sides & even national teams I can still only say Benzema would be the ideal signing.

I want Mario Gomez.

Huntelaar's an option too, he's quicker than some here think, though not lightning. He does though like to play right up top, has excellent movement and is an excellent finisher both on the deck and in the air. If the price isn't as ridiculous as recently quoted he might be worth a look.

& his goal scoring record in league & international football is also ridiculous, not to mention Marco van Basten rates him highly...

Berbatov will join United.

No, it was a definitive statement, he WILL sign, so hpe is unnecasary, well after he explains why he is so certain.

from a spurs board, they have received 3 bids for overseas clubs and they will sell berbatov only to one of these clubs.

No.

I meant EXACTLY what I said.

Spurs is a club that only a select few can have the privilege of playing at. Bit like Real Madrid but bigger.

Experience teaches me. They want to sell, we want to buy, he wants to join, the lenders have the loans. The wages available at Real / Inter / Bayern (who've registered an interest via agents) are not comparable with what United would offer. The evidence suggests to me he will join. I may be proved incorrect but I wasnt aware I could only post facts.

Ah, I see, that's fine it was just the defiinitive nature of your statement that threw me. Maybe "i think" would've been a better way to start given it was an opinion then?

Not an editor at all my friend, just giving suggestions for clarity. I like to be helpful.
