Atletico Madrid linked with Tottenham striker Postiga tribalfootball.com - October 24, 2003 Atletico Madrid have been linked with Tottenham striker Helder Postiga. The young Portuguese forward has struggled in his first season in England and is being linked with a January loan move to Spain. Atletico coach Gregorio Manzano is keen to strengthen his attack and take the pressure away from youngsters Jorge and Fernando Torres. Along with Postiga, Lazio striker Simone Inzaghi and Inter Milan's Mohammed Kallon, who has failed a dope test, are also interesting Atletico.
BARCELONA MOVE IN FOR SECOND CLASS POSTIGA BARCELONA are ready to offer Spurs flop Helder Postiga an escape from English football. The £6.25m summer signing has made just four starts at White Hart Lane and the striker has yet to score a goal in a Spurs shirt. Postiga, 21, has told pals he is struggling to adapt to the demands of English football and was fuming when he was made to play for the reserves two weeks ago.
i'd like to know what it is about english football that is more demanding than spanish football for Postiga. Language? Culture? Can't understand why these clubs would want him if he isn't panning out at Tottenham, unless there's some way that Tottenham is holding him back.
a chance to play, any top club will be glad to use Postiga, his welcome at Benfica anytime http://geocities.com/porto97.geo/
