Cris?

[CmonyouSpurs]

The 32 year old Olympique Lyon centre back has been quoted as saying that he wants to try his hand out at playing in a new league. We haven't been linked with him but I think we can get him for a pretty decent price and he would be solid cover for King Woody and Daws.

Defo, i dunno wether Lyon will wanna sell him cheap though and his wages may be a stumbling block?

[CorLuka Modric]

Im guessing hes on a big packet at Lyon, and would probably demand 1st team football as well. I'd rather we got Bassong

[P UNIT 1980]

We dont need another old player.

We need to invest long term imo and derville seems like the real deal.

Bassong, richards, someone of that ilk please to learn from ledders and woody for a year or two.

[CorLuka Modric]

Your right Unit, the way Richards played last year he could really do with learning a bit from Ledders!

[Eighteen82]

Yup agree with Richards, and with the way Citeh are going he surely doesn't fancy himself that much with them?

[aingram]

We might as well have just kept Rocha

Id rather an older player with champions league experience to play some games while daws, woody and king are hurt rather than a 20 year old who is extremely prone to make mistakes.

[P UNIT 1980]

Looks like a mistake releasing him now dont it!!!

Surely our ressies has a few tidy players to tide us over till the lame are back from their pre-season rest.

[Spurs4life93]

I say we bring in Jean-Alain Boumsong as we've already signed Peter Crouch

[block32row26]

our ressies was dervitte who got mugged by samaras the other day...

lets not rely on them...

Bassong would be a snip at 6million(ish)

haha also loving how people are trying to say that rocha should have stayed...what short memories we all have

[P UNIT 1980]

Its said in jest my end, however we are looking desperately short at the minute.

[block32row26]

Lets face it, Ledley will be playing against Liverpool.

he doesnt kick a ball monday to friday and slots in at the back on saturdays like he's never been away

why would we play him in pre season friendlies???

he will be the same old ledley when the season comes around.

although admittedly someone partnering him in there would be nice...

[P UNIT 1980]

I say fook it!!!

Play with 2 defenders and out score them with our prolific strike force..........oops!!!

[Eighteen82]

I think bringing in Cris will be a bad idea. Based on what he's said he wants to be playing regularly, and would surely command a huge wage packet coming from Lyon. We only need to be signing a stand in until Woody & Daws is fit. So what happens to Cris when everyone is fit? He'd just be someone sitting on the bench, not wanting to be here collecting his money.
