Yeah but let's not forget Roberto Soldado's 81 in 141 for Valencia before he came to Spurs. It's a whole different ball game in the Premiership as Bobby soon found out. If you can't cut it in the Premier League it can very soon swallow you up and spit you out again.

He was already on the slide before he left Liverpool I think. Finished a season early to have knee surgery and not sure he has ever been the same since.


But his scoring record at Liverpool was awesome.


Also, whilst his league form was less than spectacular at Chelsea, he scored 17 European goals in 40 appearances, which ain't bad.

Didn't Spurs do something similar, spent the Bale money before he was sold so they wouldn't be seen as a club with lots of cash to spend?...

Ahem...I guess so.


Anyway, I've checked out a couple of Firmino's videos on You Tube and I have to say he looks impressive. Had me swooning in fact. Might be too late if Stirling has a change of heart now.

Perhaps- but top Bundesliga performers don't necessarily cut it in the Premier League. Sahin and Kagawa looked like world beaters at Dortmund, but failed miserably in the Prem.

Still had to take a ?7 million loss but glad he's gone. Quite a few other bit of deadwood to go.

Optimistic about Kane this year Jah? Didn't look great in the under 21s - I think it'll be hard for him to repeat last year. I think he's a decent player to be clear but not absolutely convinced last season wasn't a bit of a flash in the pan?


The kid needs a break. He's young and still got an awful lot to learn. I wouldn't say I was optimistic. At Spurs we can't afford to be. All depends on who we get in and out of the squad. We shipped in an awful lot of goals last season so the defence needs sorting out. If we can get a decent spine through side then our chances of winning something will improve vastly but I'm not holding my breath.

Hope he does better than the last defender we signed from them.


Seriously though I'd been hoping to read that news, think it's a good signing.

      Vet recommendation

      By tiddles · Posted

      Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent.

      Dawson Heights again

      Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
