Tottenham today announced that they are in talks with 20yr old FC Porto striker Helder Postiga.
According to the web site negotiations are currently ongoing.
Now he would be a good buy but would he really want to come to Spurs 
Hmmmm lets hope someone does soon.

Well its been done, below is the story from Spurs.co.uk-
| Quote: | Tottenham Hotspur would like to announce the signing of Portuguese international striker Helder Postiga from UEFA Cup winners FC Porto. The deal is valued at £6.25m, which could rise to £8.25 depending on appearances and team performance.
Postiga's signing represents a real coup for Glenn Hoddle as several major European club's showed serious interest in the 20-year-old striking sensation. His impressive displays during FC Porto's successful UEFA Cup campaign last season enhanced his already burgeoning reputation, making him one of the most coveted young strikers in Europe.
A self-confessed Spurs fan, Postiga has agreed a five-year contract and will link up with the rest of the squad when pre-season training begins at the start of July. He has had an impressive season with Portuguese champions FC Porto, scoring 19 goals in all competitions. This form has led to him making his full international debut and he has been an instant success at international level - recently scoring two goals in a 4-0 win over Bolivia.
Glenn was naturally delighted with the capture of the gifted Postiga: "He is a player who will add definite striking quality to our squad and is a young player of proven ability. I'm sure our supporters will enjoy watching him over the coming seasons."
"This exciting signing demonstrates our commitment to increasing the strength and quality of our playing squad and will hopefully assist us in our quest for success next season and beyond," added chairman Daniel Levy. |
Unbelievable, finally a word class striker at our club who isnt 35yo. Now we have finally got a strike force that can challenge for europe, with Postiga and Keane up front we will be a force again, now we have to make sure we keep Carr!

Will be interesting to see how the new boy goes in the premiership. I don't know anything about him, but from what I do hear, he is a very good signing.

Thats a bit harsh, we all know why we were so pitiful last season, and that is injury. Ziege, Redknapp and Richards all champions were injured for at least half the year and if they were fit i think we would have at least a spot in the UEFA cup this season.
If we can have a good run with injury (i think its our turn) there is no reason why we cant get a champions league spot, i mean if Chelsea and Newcastle can get there with their lists there is no reason why we cant.
But both of those teams have something we didnt have after Christmas- Team Spirit!

GM i really love your cockyness, but Team spirit is the diference between Spurs and newcastle with full squads.
When you put on paper Tottenhams best side on paper is a pretty awesome side-
Keane Postiga
Davies Anderton Redknapp Poyet
Ziege Richards King Carr
Keller
Now thats a side that would be an instant Euro qualifier if it could stay fit and of course if they can play with pride which was a problem last season.
Newcastle is a very good side but if they had a drop in team spirit and a few injurys they could very well be mid range like we were last season.

I'm sorry, but there are only two teams capable of winning the title. And I don't need to name them.
I am not saying Newcastle, Liverpool, and Chelsea are not very good sides, but there is a gap in class between them and the other two.
By the way, there is nothing wrong with passionately disagreeing with me about this. I can understand this.
Being a Collingwood supporter makes me believe we can win the premiership, when in fact we really have no chance compared to a couple of other sides. The only thing is, if we qualify for the finals, we only need to win 3 or 4 games to "pinch" the premiership.
You cannot do that in England.

Woe, niether of us were saying that our sides could win the league as i think niether can (GM im trusting that you wont argue this point), we were talking about how even Spurs-Toons sides were.
GM you have obviously over looked Keane and Richards from your list, as Richards is a better player than Carr (Richards is the 10th most expensive English player in history*) and you cant be saying you would rather that Welsh turd Bellamy than Keane.
And you also put bowyer in your top team, that is a discrace to Newcastle as i would rather Iverson playing 1st team football than him.
