Arshavin And Milito

ehsanul · 23rd July 2008, 16:28

Both reportedly close to joining spurs,fee agreed in arshavin case,still i think it will need some convincing for arshavin to join spurs...milito will be a good signing..

REd FUn DevIl · 23rd July 2008, 16:30

If that means we get Berbatov let it be.

Sarni · 23rd July 2008, 16:33

Who needs Robbie Keane?

Bye, bye Berbs.

Ronaldo No.9 · 23rd July 2008, 16:33

Diego Milito?

crappycraperson · 23rd July 2008, 16:35

Probably the best players they could sign to replace Keane, Berbatov. Both with potential to be as good, maybe even better.

Dunno about Milito, he seems UEFA standard to me but Arshavin is quite an ambitious signing, especially since Arsenal and Barca were in for him.

No chance.

Decent replacements. Will never be as good as the Keane - Berbatov partnership though.

The thing is, why would he choose Spurs over Barcelona and Arsenal? Especially when both were reported to be interested over weeks/months and Spurs only declared their interest recently.

They obviously decided against signing him. Even though Barcelona is his dream club and he'd be a more or less perfect replacement for Hleb, he goes to Spurs... Last I heard, Arshavin was complaining that Zenit were pricing him out of moves. It seems Spurs were the only club willing to spend £16 million or whatever the final fee will be, on him.

carpy · 23rd July 2008, 16:50

I don't believe anything unless it comes from a well-respected Spurs ITK.

Milto's record in La Liga is as good as or better than Keane's in premiership.
And though all the hype and wanking over the Russian was way overborard, there is obvious quality there.

Ramos is gonna employ a completely new system anyway. Discounting that they may not adapt to a different league, Milto with Arshavin behind him would be a good partnership.

he'll probably go with the same 4-3-3 he had at seville. dos santos and arshavin wide with milito in the centre. pretty good system if you ask me.

kietotheworld · 23rd July 2008, 17:07

7/2 on Skybet for Arshavin to join Spurs.

Rowem · 23rd July 2008, 17:32

Arshavin would be a ridiculously good signing for Spurs.

Milito, not so good. Especially if it's as a replacement for the far superior Berbatov.

Where is it reported? Links, please.

Sarni · 23rd July 2008, 17:37

Arshavin is a very good player, although he doesn't exactly play in the same role as either Keane or Berbatov. He will probably be used behind the strikers along with Modric and possibly dos Santos, which leaves plenty of job for the defensive midfielder that Tottenham don't really have at the moment, even though GlastonSpur seems to think that his ITK is right with Diarra rumours.

Milito could easily replace either of them as he has led the line for Zaragoza for a couple of years and has established himself as a fine striker. He will be a good signing for Tottenham and has seemed to be heading them ever since Zaragoza got relegated. I'm a bit surprised that none of the La Liga teams made a bid, after all he's a proven goalscorer them and the likes of Atletico and Villarreal could find a player of his calibre handy.

It would be a good partnership, but Keane - Berbatov is the best partnership in the league. At 29 (Milito) and 27? (Arshavin) they'll need to bond very quickly if they want to end up better than Keane + Berbatov, something I simply dont think they have in them.

bbest · 23rd July 2008, 17:54

Ehsanul, is the link up to date?

Raven_Blade · 23rd July 2008, 17:58

I would have to say that I hope this happens. If only because it will make them more receptive to selling Berbatov. We need an end to these transfer sagas before the season starts.

Its not about individual records, Keane and berbatov as a partnership are simply out of this world. I really doubt if these two can form such a formidable partnership.

Arshavin will be very good signing for any team. He may drift in and out of games but on his day he is clearly top drawer.

milito is a bit of a gamble. He's 28 and hasn't been on the radar of big clubs beofre. A couple of good seasons in Spain and not much else. It's the age old question of whether he'll fit in the PL.

I personally think Spurs will go for another forward. Santa Cruz would be a good option given the cash they have coming in from player sales - he'd certainly offer something different.

Ekeke · 23rd July 2008, 18:19

Milito is 29 apparently.

Spurs plan shock double swoop

23 July 2008

Andrei Arshavin has emerged as one of Europe’s brightest talents after shining at Euro 2008
TOTTENHAM have made a £25m double swoop for strike stars Andrei Arshavin and Diego Milito.

The Journal understands Spurs are the only club to have matched Zenit St Petersburg's €22m (£17.5m) valuation of Arshavin and are now waiting to see whether he is willing to come to White Hart Lane.

Milito, meanwhile, has already expressed his willingness to sign for Spurs after his current club, Real Zaragoza, accepted a bid in the region of £7m for the 29-year-old Argentina international.

A physical, mobile target man, the terms of Milito's transfer have been agreed for some time, but Spurs delayed on the deal as they hoped to persuade Dimitar Berbatov to stay for another season.

With Berbatov now likely to move to either Barcelona or Manchester United, Spurs have moved a step closer to completing the deal.

Spurs have also retained an interest in Arshavin's team-mate Roman Pavlyuchenko, also a strong centre forward, although any deal may depend on the future of Darren Bent, who is wanted by Everton.

Arshavin was left out of Zenit St Petersburg's match-day squad yesterday (Wednesday) evening, and was expected to travel to meet Spurs officials and discuss personal terms.

The 27-year-old had previously claimed that he would only consider a move to Barcelona or Arsenal, but neither club have made a bid, with the Catalan giants pulling out alto-gether after buying Alexander Hleb.

Spurs, however, have already pul-led off one major transfer coup this summer by persuading Luka Modric sign from Dinamo Zagreb, and are hopeful of completing the deal.

Primarily a second striker, who can play on either flank, Arshavin is seen as a direct replacement for Robbie Keane, who is expected to join Liverpool for around £18m.

The moves for Milito and Arshavin come after Juande Ramos was guar-anteed that all of the monies rec-ouped on Berbatov and Keane could be spent on strengthening his squad.

Ramos is also optimistic that the sale of Younes Kaboul, Teemu Tainio, Pascal Chimbonda and Steed Malbranque will generate enough funds to finalise a deal for Blackburn Rovers' England winger David Bentley.

I reckon it will be 4-2-3-1.

If we assume for arguments sake the signings of Arshavin and Bentley, then with no other signings it could be:

--------- Gomes
Hutton -- Woodgate -- King -- Bale
-------- Jenas ---- Modric
Bentley ---- Arshavin ---- Dos Santos
------------ Bent (or Milito or whoever)

With a 7 man bench of something like: GK, Dawson, Zokora, Huddlestone Lennon, Taraabt and Milito (or Bent or whoever)

I'd be very happy with that, even given the departure of Keane and Berbatov. It might take a while for them to gel, but I reckon that side would be formidable opponents for any team to face.

Rowem · 23rd July 2008, 18:30

Regarding partnerships, I reckon Arshavin playing behind Bent could be a very good partnership. A cunning, skillful playmaker with a pacey goalscorer - perfect combination.

I actually think Milito would end up being 3rd choice. £7m seems like a decent price but he's no replacement for Berbatov.

So Modric has moved from being one of your front 3 about a week ago to a holding midfield role????

That looks like an Ossie Ardiles style line up.

Sultan · 23rd July 2008, 18:37

Come on Spurs, make it happen quick.

I can assure you Glaston, they are quality.
