Vieri May Join Spurs

By Jaymes Payten-Marsh

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is in talks with Christian Vieri's representatives after the cult Italian striker had his contract cancelled by Inter.

Talks have been ongoing since the morning, but as yet, Spurs are keeping tight-lipped about the whole affair.

It was apparently Frank Arnesen who tipped off Levy about Vieri becoming a free agent. Arnesen is still under contract at Tottenham, but has been relieved of his duties.

Vieri speaks fluent English as he was raised in Australia. If Spurs can land Vieri, it will surely prove that they are ambitious as ever.

  1. If we could land Vieri, it'd be one of the biggest signings of the season and would be a great addition to the team. If he would come I don't know. Although he's 32 soon, he would still fit in well at the other "bigger" teams so whether or not he'll come to WHL I don't know
  2. Yada yada yada.

    Heard it all before. Sorry to sound like a killjoy but until I see him standing next to big MJ holding up a shirt with his name on the back I am not about to even contemplate believing this.
  3. another cock and bull tottenham linked with signing
  4. Will belive it when i see him in a Spurs shirt at the press conference,
    until then we take it as just another summer press story to fill the pages
  5. Another ageing mercinary foreign player to come and pick up a fat cheaque. One to finally annoy Robbie Keane and other younger better strikers out of the club? No thanks.
  6. Heard it all before..we don't sign real big names anymore..pity
  7. Please no, look at Kluivert last season.

    Vieri is past his best lets not waste wages on him.

    Also Mido i love the guy but if preason does not cause him to lose wieght its time to terminate his loan.

    same goes for Andy Reid lose wieght or go on loan. Pointlees keeping him and not allowing younger fitter players who can track back to get a chance. Regardless of his shooting ability.
  8. An aging Vieri to lead the front would be an asset even in the short term. Defoe and Keane would learn a lot like Ledley has learnt from Naybet. Ledley is a far better player now.
    Experence rubs off
  9. Vieri, would be a gr8 signing he could link up with Defo, or Keane, get rid of kanouté
  10. Vieri is overweight, overpaid & we really don't want him over here. Experience means nothing when combined with Vieri's poor attitude. Why oh why do we have to be linked to every available player. It just raises false hopes & gives the other clubs another thing to make fun of.
  11. If only we could stick to our guns. lets keep going with the under 25s and be patient for a couple more years. Christ we are Spurs fans we have waited over 20 years for success 2 more wont matter.

    I could not stand the thought of this over paid, "has been" comming in and taking the place of one of our younger future stars only to see the cart-Toons (carot crunchers) or the scum benifit by picking them up on the cheep.

    No lets stick to what we started, give the young lads a chance to prove themselves. When and i do meen When we win the title in two years time we can enjoy it all the more.
  12. I don’t mind foreigners coming over to earn a final pay packet if they put the effort in, like klinsmann and Naybet.

    And I don’t mind good start that did not cut the mustard when they moved from their first club to a bigger.

    i.e. Viera and Bergkamph.

    But players like Veiri are trouble he is lazy and slow and the only thing our younger players would learn from him is how to cause disruption in the dressing room. We have been plagued with dressing room discontent for a good few years why get players that will upset the balance now this area is fixed.

    As for young under 25 yes good idea as the older Birts are way over priced. But I don’t want to see under 25 brits as our only signings if we want mid table finishes they are fine but to start challenging for a place in Europe we really need to bring in some proven quality.

    Granted we won’t get any super start yet. But lets buy the better players, we were previously linked with Emre I cant believe we are not going to get him he plays on the lef…
  13. just a quick re the facts in this article (ex Oz spurs fan): -- true Vieri lived in Sydney for 2 years as teenager, but returned to Italy and no longer speaks a word of English:
  14. I Think you could be right, with the right motivation he could play well, but he could turn everything upside down.
  15. dont get exited- it's not going to happen. (sadly)
  16. i'm a spurs fan but this is rubbish and his wage demands will be totaly unaffordable but he is a good player
  17. big up vieri come to spurs so we can put one past the gunners
  18. spurs to be champs
    next year
  19. Look what Jurgen achieved at the lane. Even if he only stayed for one or two seasons, he could help us gain a Champions League spot. It shows our ambition.
  20. Come on guys!

    What makes a great player? Attitude & learning to apply themselves. He can have all the talent in the world, but without a right attitude and application, he'll end up like Kanoute or someone similar.

    Vieri is world-class. Lets not forget that. So what if he's 31. He'll have at least 2 great seasons in him.
  21. come on lads we're getting fed up with these old players getting linked with us.First we're after Figo now Vieri,who next? Pele and Maradonna!
  22. Vieri to the lane would be a god send if we can get him. I have read most of the comments about him being over the hill, not having the right attitude and being over paid.

    Get a grip. I have seen this man play for his country and for Inter and he is a natural striker. He is big, has quick feet, is packed with talent and can find the net.

    Remember people used to slag Ginola off before he arrived at the lane but he proved them wrong and Vieri will do the same if we can get him.
  23. just remember lads. we never sign the big name till the last few days of the transfer window!! defoe....

    keane....

    vieri??.... (maybe)
  24. It wont happen......

    We have linked with just about every player that shows a sign of wanting to leave their respected club in recent months..

    I swear Martin Jol plays Champ manager, a bit of advice to him would be to return to the real world and stop chasing these world class players (Rosicky, Shevchenko) that are not even going to consider joining us whilst we cant even get into Europe!

    Stick with the young lads and lets build a team to be proud of!!
  25. LOL. firstly Champ man and Footnall Man are both excellent games :D.
    Secondly we were only linked with players like Rosicky and Vieri because A. Rosicky was unhappy at Dortmund
    B. B.Dortmund is struggling financially so they needed the cash.
    C. Vieri has been well known to be unhappy at Inter and Spurs are always first to be linked with just abot n e one :)
  26. Vieri will add alot of experience to the team as he is a huge player and has been around for a while. I think he will even improve defoe by working closly together.
  27. He's at AC now anyway!
