The rumour mill is saying spurs am want hulk. Ill be devastated if hulk joined them. Think he is brilliant player built for prem league and just what we need, a lot of you guys say his overrated but he takes players on. Quick strong powerful and can score: and make things happen from nothing. Problem is he could be pricey!
Dreaming I know but lewandoski hulk wanyana along with our loan ayers back if be very happy, realistically we will not bet any of those 3
PS essein wants his place back which is brilliant news for us

He's a brilliant player if he doesn't act a baby and actually uses his power. Seen him winge and nearly cry for getting pushed over.

Zenit paid £30M for Hulk and I doubt they'll let him go for anything less. The only way I can see Tottenham getting him is if they sell Bale. They simply don't have the money. And haven't ever spent near that amount of money on a single player.

Spurs forking out the money for hulk could make bale stay. Shows ambition and attracts big stars.

Not with Levy in charge. They don't have the finances/turnover to field a team full of big stars.

If only we could get these players, what a team we would be!

Sergio Ramos. Solves all the defencive questions. You can then keep Terry, Cahill and Iva rotating for second center back spot, move Luiz to midfield, play three cener backs ormation if needed be. We intantly become so functional and universal at the back.

With Luiz, Lamps, Ramires and Romeu in the middle of the park, you basicly need noone at all. Sell Obi, bring anyone who the club deems desirable.

Schurrle. Not my ideal choice, but the club is in advanced stages over this, so I hope this gets done. You get. Quality attacker who can slot at either wing. You do not need a Cristiano Ronaldo to complement Hazard. You need a strong team player to make him better. With Hazard, Mata and Schurrle we'd be amazing. You can rotate Oscar between those three spots, or shift him into the middle to compliment the attack. I think Schurrle would compliment our team better than Isco or Reus. Not sure how would they share the ball otherwise.

And finally Lewandowski. Tremendous body control, plays in the same system we employ. Gets open, is strong in the air and on the ground, scores loads of goals and is 23 years old. Sell Torres, bring Lukaku back and there you have a perfect team.

Shurrle isn't your ideal choice but would compliment the team better than Reus or Isco?!. Just out of curiosity who is your ideal choice for this role?

In my opinion Hulk----Mata----Hazard has a nice unrealisticly brilliant quality to it!

Agreed Sergio Ramos would be excellent and Lewandowski would be ideal as a striking option!

I would be devastated if we signed Ramos!

Don't know about schurrle being a better fit than reus. Reus is absolutely amazing, can play all across the front 4

Jackson

We won't get Hulk. Why would you be devastated if we signed Ramos? Isco is likely to end up in Bayern and Reus is unlikely to move this summer. Schurrle is a good choice.

Ideally, i'd like the following line-up:

Cech
Azpi-Ramos-JT-Cole
Luiz-Oscar
Muller-Mata-Hazard
Lewandowski

If that is Schurrle rather than Muller (who schurrly is not available) it's great news.

If that Falcao and not Lewandowski, how can one complain?

But a top center back is so hard to find, especially of Ramos quality. Such a shame JT is so out of pace.

JG

Unrealisitically, i'd love to see : A new Lb (Shaw) For the Future, A Cb (Ramos, Hummels, Subotic or Dede) as cover, A Cdm Playmaker like Gundogan, A Cam (Reus, Schurlle or Isco) and a Striker (Lewandowski or Falcao) The Players are in order of My Preference And as I said 'Unrealistic'
