Heskey looks set to sign
A lot of reports are claiming that England target man, Emile Heskey, is close to completing a £5.5 million moved from Wigan Athletic to Tottenham Hotspur.
How true are all these media reports? Who knows? If he's in a Spurs shirt by the 12am deadline, then I'll personally be extremely happy with this bit of business.
I may be in the minority, but I feel that signing a player like Heskey will prove a master-stroke for the club.
The target man has never been known in a positive manner for his games to goal ratio. What he has been known for though, are his other qualities. He's perfect at bringing in his team-mates into play. His ability to hold up the ball may be just what our team needs, especially if Bent and/or Pavlyuchenko are playing off him.
Before I get completely slated for my comments, please remember all that he has done when he's played with out-and-out strikers.
COYS!!!

more than that
He'll make a great squad player and is the type of player that compliments any striker he plays with.
Don't expect him scoring more than 12 a season, but expect him to make at least 20 goals.

As a lot of you have said; if he signs for around £5 million, then he'll be a great signing.
At 30 (or 31), he's not worth more than that anyway.

I'll be gutted. We've been linked with some of the best in the world and we come up with someone that nobody wants (apart from Wigan)...
I'd cancel Pekhart's loan and give him a go instead. He's even at the bottom of the list of people I WOULDN'T want (which includes Owen, Saha etc).
Three games in and I'm depressed. Another false dawn!
pppplease nooooooooo
How come we can spend apparently £50M yet still be beaten by Sunderland at home (the same Sunderland who get beat 3-0 to City at the weekend).
The only hope we had was that we would pick up some players that the other 15 teams (not including the "top 4" or us) would give anything for and players that could have us breaking into that top 4. Is that too much to ask? Especially after £50M?? Liverpool & Arsenal haven't spent that?
So, we go for Heskey... & we have people happy with that???
Your suggesting that Bent,a unproven russian in this league and god forbid heskey is progress ? Fuck me Toshspur ,you need to stop eating sugar !
Its a joke.
I want to scream
