Wow. Saviola. There's a name no-one has considered before.

I was Battistuta and Ardiles were also still available. And off course Ricky Villa. Maybe Spurs could throw those two in when we sell them Benteke for £15m

Saw this on Twatter - an ITK - but one that has as many hits as misses.



I thought there was meant to be a protocol regarding talking to players under contract at other clubs - I do hope Villa have had CB under surveillance - proof of such shenanigans strengthens their hand considerably.

Spurs will not offer enough cash.

And if they try to add players into the deal - they have only three we want

Gareth Bale - Gylfi Siggurdsson - Tom Carroll.

Gylfi or Tom please.

Riquelme would offer more than Ireland. Saviola could prove more effective than berger or pires

If we get Saviola we should re-sign JPA. Reunite their deadly River Plate partnership.

Why stop there. I reckon we'd get a work permit for Cummings this time around.

QPR in for Saviola apparently - he'd get kicked up a height in that league. Probably a bit too slow for us now, but could he play midfield? Certainly a better option than the Scottish pele.

Jesus, did Harry Redknapp not learn his lesson about expensive mercenaries? Ha ha. Can't see Saviola joining a club like QPR for any other reason than a big fat paycheck.

He'll fit right in then.

Why exactly do we want Tom Carroll? Over say, Dembele, Sandro, Vertonghen et cetera?
