Tottenham have made an £18million bid for former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan.
The initial offer was rejected by Forlan’s club Atletico Madrid on Thursday but Spurs boss Juande Ramos remains determined to sign the Uruguayan.
Forlan is keen for a move back to the Premier League but is unlikely to sacrifice the chance of Champions League football if Atletico progress. But if they fail to make the group stage, Spurs are confident of nailing down a deal before the transfer window closes. Ramos has cooled his i n t e r e s t i n Re a l Zaragoza’s Argentine striker Diego Milito. (The People)
Forlan hasn’t looked back since fleeing Old Trafford and has managed an incredible 82 goals in the four seasons since he left the Premier League. At 29 the price tag may be a bit on the high side but clearly Ramos has seen enough of the Uruguayan to rate him to highly. Clearly a bid may be more effective should the Spanish side fail to get past tricky opponents Schalke in the final qualifying round of the Champions League. Do Tottenham fans think that a move for the former United flop would be a wise one?

I saw this in the people and wasn’t sure what to make of it. Forlan may be a totally different player to the flop at Man U, but still don’t think he would suit us

Forlan wouldn’t be a bad signing but that seems very expensive!

18m for a 29 year old is not good business

I love Forlan, he has the most amazing hair! i wouldnt kick him out of bed, but i am almost 100% positive he is going to score with me. Maybe even a hat-trick here and there! i want him to take of his little headband and spank me with it whilst i wear his athletico jersey! oooooh baby im excited!

in one word no. i hope we sign a few quality CB’s again tonight we found ourselves with thudd at CB and zakora at RB.
god - August 3rd, 2008 at 8:35 pm
actually i love him too. alfie has totally sold me. his hairband is a complete cocknock isn’t it ; )
being god i don’t usually talk like this but i want him all over.
don’t worry, i’ll pull a few strings, i know a few people. the big man upstairs will make this transfer happen.

What a crock of shite. We won’t be signing him, maybe wheeling and dealing in spain still but 18m on 29 yr old is not Ramos’ style !

FFS That’s approaching Huntelaar’s price tag!
I had the same feeling in my stomach after reading that we’re linked with Anton Ferdinand… just make it go away, please.

um… u guys are saying he is old and everything but do you guys realise that Ashavin is not exactly spring chicken either, he is about 27-28. But agreed… Forlan will be a bad signing.

I think spurs should try and buy silva and villa they would be to great signing’s. By the way i’m a celtic fan but i think tottenham are are very good team.
willyceltic - August 4th, 2008 at 10:18 am
