Spurs in for forlan and joe cole- both top players , we could be chasing their tails unless we spend big money .

After a World Cup and long season for Forlan he'd have to move to a different country (albeit one he's played in before) at 31. And Joe Cole is injury prone, way past his best and was never that good anyway.

Don't get me wrong, and I'd take both at the Villa, but Modric is a better player than Cole and they'd get one season max out of Forlan, I reckon.

If they signed Berbatov and Carrick back we'd have to worry, IMO.

3 players, I noted today, we should go for.
Simon Kjaer Danish Centre Half
Achille Emana Cameroon miffielder
Eljero Elia Dutch midfielder (However I heard he is on his way to Hamburg for 7.5m)

On the basis of one game? Or maybe two if you watched the other WC matches?

2 in the case of Elia and 1 game for the other two...however they are playing for their Country in the WC that shows some pedigree.

No he isnt.

I wouldn't say there is much in it between them, and Modric possibly is just about the better of the 2 players. However, if given a choice I'd rather have Joe Cole than Modric.

PaulTheVillan · « **Reply #4249 on:** June 20, 2010, 10:51:49 AM »

That is a close one.

I think I'd prefer Modric, simply because he's 24 and got years left in him.

The same could be said about Emile Heskey.

Joe Cole has a boulder head.

I seem to remember Redknapp saying Cole had more or less agreed a deal to sign for someone else and that he'd missed out on him?

and you believed him?

Jockey Randall · « **Reply #4254 on:** June 20, 2010, 12:06:43 PM »

My mistake, it appears he's now come out and said it's still possible as his mind hasn't been made up according to his agent.

I would drool over my keyboard if we were linked with players of that quality. If it meant Modric became available.....he'd be a great shout but couldn't see him leaving Spurs.

Funny that Rommedahl got a mention here....I wanted us to sign him 2002. I have always rated him very highly and for a winger he has really done well to have not burned out in the later years of his career. His quality with the ball will make up for any loss of pace.

can't see cole ending up at spurs because of his demands. likewise arsenal. citeh and manu are the only clubs in this country who could pay him what he wanted and if he took a paycut to go elsewhere then his agent's going to look a bit of a berk

Yes but Pedigree Chum in Emile's case!

It'll probably get shot down in flames but I quite like the look of Matsui from Japan. Good engine, decent crossing...I know a World Cup can make a player look good (or terrible) but in the two competitive games (and the England friendly) he's been consistent and hard-working. Plus he only plays for Grenoble so probably wouldn't cost the earth.

Maybe someone could recommend him to Money City and they could splurge 24 mil on him instead.

Forget about Joe Cole he will definately not be coming to us.
