Ipswich Town have signed 19-year-old Tottenham striker Giovani dos Santos on loan until the end of the season.
The Mexican goes straight into the squad for the Championship encounter at Reading on Saturday.
Dos Santos joined Spurs from Barcelona for £4m last summer after making 28 appearances for the Spanish giants.
He has made 12 appearances for Tottenham this season, scoring once in last month's Uefa Cup victory against Shakthar Donetsk.
When they signed him my Spurs mate was crowing for weeks - bleating about the usual, that they were signing players we "could only dream of" :haha: and that they'd finish above us this year.
I told him Dos Santos is shit.
Just sent him a text gloating and here is his reply :haha:
"He's got talent but not sure he fits in. :haha: He's far from shit pal, just perhaps not what we need."
:haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

He's obviously a very skillful player but hasnt got the physical presence needed for the Prem IMO. He'd do better in Spain or Italy.

I remember Carlos Vela and him being superb for Mexico in one of the youth tourneys a couple of years ago.
Bit like LeTallec and Pongolle I suppose :o

The thing here is that Barcelona were willing to let him go unlike Messi, Iniesta, Xavi amongst others. I know they let go of Reina but he wasn't as hyped to be the next best thing like dos Santos.

That's exactly what I thought when Spurs signed him. If he was that good, Barca wouldn't have let him go.

To be fair Vela looks fucking brilliant. He's an ace finisher...reminds me of Fowler.

I've been really impressed with him too, he's better than Bendtner who seems to start practically every game?!

Wenger is getting slaughtered by a lot of Gooners over this. In Adebayor's absence he's preferred the hopeless Bendtner with van Persie, largely, with a returning Eduardo and Vela as back-up. Naturally he seems to be getting a free ride in the press, with the wolves instead baying for Benitez's blood as usual. Wenger makes a lot of curious decisions and persists with shit or out-of-form players (Eboue being a prime example) but never seems to get questioned or criticised.

seems he likes that big man up top.....curious for a man who has allegedly the best passing teams in the premiership would have thought a vela/van persie combo would work well

I'll go with that. I think Bendtner's play and touch outside the area is very good, linking with the midfield which maybe why Wenger has persisted with him.

Vela/Van Persie/Eduardo. Take your pick out of those 3, they're all scary. Both Vela and Eduardo are excellent finishers

Add to that Arshavin, Nasri (to some extent) Walcott, Rosicky. Its a very good attacking line up.
Did anyone see the little chip pass Vela did yesterday. Absolute class this lad

if wenger got his head out of his ass, realised he needed a masher type along with a couple of experienced players they could be a real threat
If they start next year well it could be interesting although there confidence seems to be shattered so easily.

Actually a lot of Arsenal fans I have talked to of late have started coming round to Bendtner. Largely they would rather he was on the bench but they appreciate the work he is doing for other people and helping the rest of the team play. Although they all say that he can only finish when he comes off the bench - so basically he is the new Tore Andre Flo.
