Souleymane Coulibaly In Defoe Out

[morro24]

After the Next Gen Inter Milan mauling, Tottenham Technical Co-ordinator TimSherwood singled out the latest forward nicknamed the “new Drogba,” “SouleymaneCoulibaly was unbelievable. He played up front on his own, absolutely batteredtheir two centre-halves and scored two goals.

When is the last time a Spurs forward did this to an opposition? If rumours are to believed we should have swapped 'Offside and Can't hold up the ball' Defoe for Cahill and give this lad his chance at 16 years old like Everton did with Rooney.

We would have had a better defence and also a forward who will terrorize defences and score goals!

He didn't batter centre backs of the senior Inter Milan team. He battered centre backs of players at his level. Its extremely rare that a 16 year is ready to make any impact in the first team of an EPL club, or any around europe.

Still is a better bet than Defoe, what on earth has Defoe added to our team for the last one and half years? NOTHING!

If Defoe starts scoring again this season please dont make an apology thread!! There will be enough of them already!

Im getting very bored of the defoe hate on this board! Pay his some respect, he's only scored 100 goals for our club.

How do you possibly know that? That would have been a monumental risk, having a strike-force of Adebayor, Pavlyuchenko and Coulibaly.

That's mental.

Are you mental?

[morro24]

Defoe has had his day, time to move on along with Pavlyuchenko. This young lad just has it and should be given opportunity now.

Wow, the threads that are popping up now-a-days......

[morro24]

Out of the three forwards Crouch, Defoe and Pavlyuchenko. Pavlyuchenko is utter rubbish and worst of the three. Defoe is on a downward curve and Crouch is not great but actually added something with van der vaart last seaon. Guess who we sell Crouch. We had previously sold Bent and kept Defoe, what a mug Redknapp is!

Wow, the threads that are popping up now-a-days......

And when Rooney made his debut for Everton he was built like a bloke... think Soli needs to grow a bit and it's important not to rush him too early.

[morro24]

Coulibaly shoud start on bench and start giving him 20 mins. What about Tendulker for India he started playing cricket for them at 16? if your good enough your old enough!

pretty sure kane would get a chance before him

[morro24]

I think Kane is a good prospect too and Coulibaly and him should start on the bench.

Tweets from WindyCOYS (who was actually at the game) about him.......he's very young and will need a few years to fully develop, no way would I play him over Defoe

"Soli definitely not one for the first team yet, calm down people! Looks a great prospect though."

"Lots of people asking about Soli - all action player, good finisher. General play not there just yet but he's only 16! Time on his side."

"Souleymane Coulibaly 8 - My first glimpse, and he was pretty much what I expected. An enthusiastic, live-wire striker who never stops pressing/harrying. A good finisher with good technique, but a tendency to take on shots that perhaps he shouldn't. "

Just the Striker we need now. We need opposition defences to be in a game, which has not happened for a long time!
