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.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Sue · Posted

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
