Its just been reported Spurs have bid £36m for a Athletico Bilbao striker aswell as the £38m they bid for Aguero, looks like there determined to get at least one big name signing before the window closes.

That will be Llorente. He's strongly linked with a summer move to Madrid.

Thats the one, seen him a few weeks back playing against Madrid, looks in the same mould as Edin Dzeko.

If he was at a more fashionable club than Athleti he'd be a household name, he's that good. Brilliant in the air but great with the ball at his feet too. He's pulled Athletic through some games almost singlehandedly this season.

I'm gonna ring Harry Redknapp and tip him off about Kyle Eastmond's availability. They'd bid for anyone. £36m would do Saints some good.

Spurs were in for Agüero, Negredo, Rossi AND Llorente!

Very frustrating as a Man Utd fan seeing the likes of City, Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool willing to spend big to bolster there strike force, whilst Fergie insists he's happy with his squad that contains the likes of Obertan, Bebe, O'shea and Gibson !!

I'm dying to know, do you think that Fergie actually sees all those players as United class or alternatively do you think he lives in the real world & realises that while the names you listed are absolutely dreadful & in many cases are stealing a living from MUFC, that he realises that his employers are so saddled witth needless debt that he'll just have to try his best to fashion yet another title from what he's left with because there's not a pot to mickey in in the transfer pot? As a Man Utd fan I'd love to know.

Be prepared to see plenty of panic buys from Spurs today. Harry will be going into twitch overdrive today, bet they've cancelled training too

Might make a bid for Young? Although, thinking about it, it probably wouldnt make much sense to bring in a player unless he were elegible for the Europa League & FA Cup.

It's like a shark feeding frenzy. Some crazy money to be made by agents today.
