Spurs Transfers: Forget Willian - Tottenham Need Stability

The Daily Mirror, Willian of Anzhi Makhachkala is once again on the Tottenham radar, which begs the question: Is this what we really need? Anzhi are currently under an extreme measures cleansing, with the manager placing all first team members on the transfer list in an effort to cut their wage bill considerably. Ignoring the satisfying feeling when a €˜mega rich€™ club effectively bites off more than they can chew, it is clear to see with the right negotiations Tottenham could be in for a bargain acquisition; but not in the form of Willian. Lacina Traoré, the 6ft 8inches Ivory Coast international is a 23 year old striking power-house built to play in the Premier League and perhaps even a make-shift bomb shelter which could come in useful if you are to accept the rumours of a terrorist threat directed firmly Tottenham€™s way. Traoré is valued at £14 million and scoring 18 goals last season it could be the perfect time for Mr.Levy to take full advantage of the club's current unrest. Defoe has been fantastic over the years, but with age comes the growing concern of injury proneness that appears to be well and truly part of his terms and conditions over a season. Not to mention the truly exasperating inconsistencies of Adebayor, deciding to score one world beating goal every few months. Stability is needed, and with the acquisition of Soldado I firmly believe we are on the right track. So let€™s stop with these exhausting connections to various midfielders, and perhaps gain the services of a young talent that could truly make for a formidable Spurs attack.
