Spurs to sign Giovani Dos Santos

[Rarelime]

Yes, thats right.


We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Barcelona for the transfer of Giovani dos Santos to the Club, subject to a medical and agreeing personal terms.

The 19-year-old Mexico international made 28 senior appearances for the Catalan club last season, scoring three goals, after displaying his credentials in the B team, where he made 27 appearances and netted five times.

It was his performances playing for his country at the FIFA World Under-17 Championships in 2005 that caught the attention of the Nou Camp side. Mexico emerged as winners in Peru and Giovani was named second best player in the tournament, while he was ranked in the top three players of the FIFA World Under-20 Championship staged in Canada in 2007.

He has since been capped on five occasions by the full Mexico national team.

According to the BBC the fee will be initially £4.7M and could rise to £8.6M based upon appearances.

Great signing for Spurs.

[Discharge Man]

Yes, I can see how a player who scores 0 goals in 37 games is an excellent acquisition for Spurs.

He scored a hat-trick against Murcia

[Discharge Man]

He scored a hat-trick against Murcia
But hasn't scored in 37 games prior to that, and considering Murcia were already relegated - I probably could've scored a hat-trick against them.

[Browney]

Thats why he said in 37 games I think, because the Murcia game was one of the last.

Edit: Ah, already said, my bad.

[Jordie]

Probably in the same way that Forlan was good for Manchester United.

I'm bringing this thread up for the good of myself. I am Discharge Man and I was right.

Feel my wrath.

Way too early to actually judge him now. All players were performing badly under Ramos, so it's unfair to judge him completely on that. Since Harry's come on board, he has been injured as well. He's a bit of a lightweight it seems, but technically he's amazing and I think he'll become a very good player in seasons to come.
