For spurs the best feature Villa would have brought is his ability to attract other top players. He would have been a nice stop gap solution but nothing to build a team around. At 31 his ability to cope with the pace of the PL should also be questioned. He certainly would be an excellent solution but not a long term one.
Unfortunately spurs are now where they always are, trying to find a quality centre forward. Damiano is off to Napoli by all accounts. I suppose this leaves us with Benteke and Remy.
For the price, Benteke screams Darren Bent mkII to me. No thanks. Remy is dodging jail too.
I don't know who we could go for but this is where Baldini needs to earn his keep. I fully expect us to start with Defoe next season or a hideously overpriced PL striker that we have ponied up the cash for.
