I've seen on SS how a perm club offered 8 mill for Vydra, I remember hearing a rumour that spurs were an interested party. I think he could be amgood signing for the future? {Ed002's Note - There have been two separate bids - neither from Spurs.}

Its been confirmed by SS that spurs hold interest in Paulinho, but have yet to make a bid

Hopefully it works out!

ConnorSpurs

What's the betting our opening bid is £11m.

I think all this paulinho to inter may be a little premature as I've seen a statement somewhere by the president saying a spurs representative will be out in a couple of days to agree a deal. Didn't mention any fees or anything though

17 Jun 2013 16:53:07
Forget about Paulinho, signed pre-contract agreement with Inter! :- (

Jim686

Cheer up. They are probably signing Paulinho to be a replacement for Guarin.

Not yet he hasn't.
According to reports, this was the story given to shaktar because he didn't want to go there but there are so many conflicting stories, you don't know what to believe.

Oh great, I will b pretty dissapointed if we waste any money on the useless guarin! Everytime I have seen this guy he has been poor would be a big step backwards.

Rob

Corinthians deputy director Duilio Montero Alves has denied all reports that Inter have signed Paulinho in a press conference.
Corinthians director Montero: "I can confirm tottenham are interested in signing Paulinho, and keeping him will be very complicated. Tottenham will send us their official offer in the next days. We expect to reach an agreement for Paulinho. "

Just heard a rumour that Paulinho has signed a pre contract agreement with Inter Milan which would be a shame for us, he looks like a bright prospect

d00gie

Guarin replacement!

17 Jun 2013 13:04:21
We can forget Son Heung-Min this summer, he has signed for Bayer Leverkusen for £8. 49m

Glenn

How will we cope!

17 Jun 2013 12:29:38
Heard that fenebache are interested and willing to make a bid for adebayor. Here's hoping.

Yid d.

I'd say hope we get someone else in before we let him go. but not having him really won't make much difference based on what we witnessed this past season.

16 Jun 2013 22:19:51
Hey EDs

Any truths in these Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang rumours? {Ed008's Note - Since when was their Aubameyang rumours? No truth theirs interest from a fellow london club..

Ed you obviously haven't seen the Aubameyang rumours not just today but lots of times before. {Ed008's Note - But how can their be truth in a rumour? Chelsea are interested that is all...

Tottenham have looked at him a few times and very recently so its not just a rumour its factual.

Newcastle, West Ham, Arse, Chelsea and Spurs are all supposedly looking at him along with Anzhi and both Milan clubs, but he favors a move to Monaco, so never.

Not the guy we want leave him!

16 Jun 2013 21:17:07
In my opinion I think honda is worth a punt with him being out of contract at cska
What's everyones thoughts?
K93 {Ed008's Note - Not out of contract yet..

Yhea he's a free agent {Ed002's Note - In January.}

Ed that is wrong he is a free agent this window {Ed001's Note - no he is not, the BBC were wrong, his contract ends 31/12/2013.}

"had been in talks with CSKA over an extension to his current deal, but with less than four months left to run"

Article was printed on 2 Mar 2013!

As you just said it's an article.

Anybody could've written that based on assumption that his contract finishes this year. With the majority of European players contracted on the 30/06/?. But not all.

Articles aren't always right. Otherwise we would have Hulk by now

R91 {Ed001's Note - it is not difficult to check, his contract runs to the end of the season, which is a summer season there. It is just poor reporting by the likes of the BBC to continue putting false information out there. This was the reason I initially started the original site, there was just so much reported by reputable sources, such as BBC and Sky, which was completely false. The original idea was people would post in stuff and people could put it right, or back it up if it was true. The problem is no one will listen when you tell them something!}

One of life's simple fts right there Ed.

16 Jun 2013 21:02:37
Any truth in the Erik Lamela rumours? A lot of rumours going around we are considering a bid for him?

Tom {Ed008's Note - If you scroll down a bit on rumours I explained it.

16 Jun 2013 20:30:19
Any thoughts on wilfred bony? Reports of interest from a london club.

Jockspur

No, No and No {Ed008's Note - Correct.

THFC4EVER

I think he could be a hit I like the look of him

I read something about wet spam looking at Bony

Fulham

Hellllllllllllll no!

There's reports in Spain saying Juan Mata may be unhappy with the appointment of Mourinho and will look to find another club in a few weeks time. Here in England Mourinho has hinted 2 players will be gone this window.

If the reports are true then we should offer Chelsea 25/30m for his services.

What do you think?

Gabriel. {Ed002's Note - I would not hold your breath.}

I agree could not see Chelsea selling to us In a million years as much as I would like to see him at the lane

I would love to see mata in a spurs shirt but Chelsea won't sell him, and if they do probably not to an English club

More to the point why would mata go to spurs what can they offer him lol

Haha you think mata would go to tottenham? are you serious? 25-30 mil? are you serious?

Mata is class but we will never sign him. chavski wouldn't allow it plus I can't see why they would want to sell him either because in my eyes he's a better player than both oscar and mata. Dapz

Mata is better than oscar and mata?
wtf

sean.

If U can sell Bale for £85 million then selling Juan Mata for £25-30m would be an insult.

Would command at least 50 million pounds, and he would never join us, as much as I'd love him here it is impossible. Stick with the Paulinho and Bernard idea.

Although different types of player Bale is much better. The only reason Mata (and every other player that signs) joined Chelsea is money.

The 2 players in question are Torres & Luiz

Bale might be better than Mata but not £50million pounds better.

16 Jun 2013 03:07:24
The Newspaper is saying we're linked with Lamela from Roma. Is there any truth in this, Ed? I hope so! {Ed008's Note - I think they are putting the possible arrival of Baldini and his previous club Roma who have Lamela at the club and assuming a link. He has very complex ownership issues something along those lines and I think a deal is unlikely..

15 Jun 2013 10:56:58
Eds,

Do you have any news on Spurs Targets or the so called bids for Paulinho, Soldaldo or Bernard, there is a lot of news linking us to everyone but nothing that seems certain or close.

Cheers {Ed002's Note - I am not sure there is much to say.}

THFC4EVER

Once again, all talk coming out of the newspapers at the moment, we seem to be after about 150 qPlayers with most of our squad up for sale! If AVB goes, face it so will Gareth, who will probably go anyway unless we get some investment! Why can't Levy get our business done early like the other teams instead of leaving it late so we end up dredging the bottom of the barrell? At least we could start blending the team together early then.
This is going to be one of our most important transfer windows for ages, we have got the right manager, a good spine to the team, good youngsters to bring on, and one of the best and most wanted players in the world. So come on Levy, get your finger out and buy us a creative midfielder, and two forwards, sell off The deadwood for whatever you can get for them or give them away, and we can push on and give the mancs a run for their money!
Three of the top 4 have new managers this year so hopefully they will need time to settle so let's get buying early, settle the team, and for once have a flying start to the season to put the pressure on early!

SS (if people know what that means) have reported that paulinho is waiting to hear from his agent.

This means that the agent is out and about and would actually make sense if he has been seen in london.

Bernard and Paulinho also share the same agent, so there may be a chance of a double swoop for spurs!

we can only hope!

ConnorSpurs

Well, paulinho playing tonight.
Levy better get in there quick, any stalling, like he normally does, and paulinho will be snapped up.
My opinion is we will be disappointed again.

Didnt he score last night for Brazil vs Japan

15 Jun 2013 10:11:10
Reports this morning that Giuliano Bertolucci (Bernard and Paulinho agent) is in England today. With paulinho himself saying that same thing. No club has been mentioned but with all the rumours lately, surely it's spurs? Bertolucci was also the one who brought D. Luiz, Ramires, Oscar and L. Píazón to Stamford Bridge. Paulinho and maybe even bernard are starting to look all the more likely!

Just reporting from other sources, don't shoot the messenger. But this story is everywhere this morning. Including tv sport, saying we are about to make a €17 million bid for paulinho

Thfcmatt

If this is the same guy that took all them players to Chavski, then isn't a possibility that he could be here to see any one of them or even be at stamford bridge trying to talk up a move for Bernard or Paulinho to Chavski instead of Spurs. Just a thought.

THFC4EVER

Mr negative over here, Believveeeee, and may the Levy be with you

It just seems more likely to be us, as we have been linked with these players. Plus Chelsea are looking to spend big on cavani and already have similar players to bernard (hazard Oscar and mata) and paulinho (Ramirez, Mikel, even luiz)

Thfcmatt

Unless Jose intends playing 10 in the middle I don't understand why Chelsea would be looking to these players. Unless they are having a complete rebuild. but with Oscar, Mata and Hazard plus Schurrie that would seem unlikely. Perhaps we should talk with Marko Marin I would guess not a happy camper.

14 Jun 2013 22:09:58
So with all the talk coming out of Brazil I feel we may be missing a trick.

Sneijder, clearly unhappy in turkey, is apparently available for 12m

Wages will be a concern but surely this is something we should look into. A move to London, to the BPL could get him playing like his old self (do I really need to draw vdv comparisons?)

has anyone heard of any interest from us? Eds?

Steed {Ed002's Note - No Steed.}

I would stay well away from sniejder even if we was available for a real bargain.

Anyone else but a striker and Bernard is Irrelevant.

Gabriel.

14 Jun 2013 22:46:12
Nicolas Lombaerts is apparently a player we are highly likely to sign. Belgian left back which probs means Danny Rose will be moving on next season as he wants to play every week

14 Jun 2013 20:30:46
Madrid set to appoint Ancelotti and PSG set to trigger AVB's release clause

They might trigger his release clause but doesn't mean he will go.
He will be spurs manager come season start.

Even if a release clause is triggered that just means the club have to accept it. It is still up to the individual whether they take the offer or not {Ed002's Note - A "release clause" is not legally binding.}

I believe avb will stay, after what happened at Chelsea he needs some stability, it wouldn't look good managing 4 clubs in 4 seasons and as he has won no trophies in England his time in England wouldn't be deemed a success

ED002 you are wrong - A release clause is basically a contract between the parties. Therefore, release clauses are governed by the law of contracts. This means that a final agreement in a release clause is legally binding on the parties.

However whilst being legally binding at club level, the player would technically still need to agree personal terms. In addition the club triggering the legal right to buy that player, could get gazumped if another superior bid was lodged by another club. {Ed002's Note - You have misunderstood something although this is a horribly complex area so it is understandable. I will summarise. The "buy out" clause is legally binding between a club and a player. The "buy out" is effectively what it says - a means for the player to buy himself out of the contract. As an example, if a player wishes to buy himself out of a contract, he pays the applicable FA the amount of the "buy out" clause effectively becoming a free agent. The problem is that in most cases a player would need to obtain that money from the buying club - and this is fraught with issues regarding "tapping up" and, of course, taxation as it can be seen as income for the player and would therefore be subject to income tax. There was a test case about the taxation issue in Spain about three years ago.

A "release clause" is far more common in that it gives a figure that the club would accept for the sale of a player to another club - but it is not legally binding. These are normally unreasonably high figures (Hulk at Porto for example) introduced to act as a deterrent for hostile bids - and even then the club could easily block a move. However, if a club does agree to match a release clause then the club would be obliged to ask the player if he is interested. Examples are Goetze who decide he wanted to move and Cavani who, regardless of two offers were made that matched or equated to his then "release clause" recognised Napoli did not sell and accepted a new package. Now of course Napoli say they will listen to offers above €60M or so.

There is then the becoming popular "termination clause" which is binding between the player and the club and if met would see an offer from anywhere accepted and the player given the opportunity to make a call on a move. This overcomes the issues associated with "buy out" clauses as the money would be paid by one club to another. This is what Malaga are trying to agree with Isco. Malaga are looking to have Isco sign a new long-term contract because they do fear a move for the player this month. Malaga wanted 21M euros and have now negotiated an increase in a termination clause to 42M euros (€35M for the transfer and €7M covering some other costs), using a pay rise to tempt the player to agree.}

Spurs have offered Valencia 7m for Soldado. Other targets are Bernard after we ended talks with Psv for Mertens and Paulinho.

Loads of reports worldwide from Italy to brazil saying we are very close with Bernard and paulinho and damaio is all agreed (wages/fee) but working on a work permit.

Paulinho is a done deal and Bernard is close.

PS £7m for Soldado could be true, it's the sort of offer we'd make when the tag is £20m, the possible end-price is £15m and the bargain price would be £10-12m.
Simmo

With all the forward we have been linked with, the one that nobody has mentioned, is sandra redknapp, according to harry she could be a better player than darren bent, think she would be a cheaper option than some of the forwards we have been linked with. ha ha. barb {Ed008's Note - According to my sources she's in negotation with the club over a 3 year deal however the club are only interested in giving a pay as you play contract...

14 Jun 2013 18:14:27
hi ed, any developments in the deal for the Southampton youngster Jake Sinclair? apparently Freund was the one who ear marked him in january, cheers

johan
{Ed008's Note - No idea don't have the greatest knowledge with youngsters maybe a spurs fan might know?

No chance were not letting our young players go theses days

^And so you shouldn't, have the potential to be European challengers I think in a good number of years!

Hope so!

14 Jun 2013 17:07:21
Mario Mand?ukić coming to spurs would be nice?

16 Jun 2013 00:42:15
He starts for bayern

13 Jun 2013 22:03:59
Hi eds, was wondering if you have any more information regarding either Erickson or Snejder coming to spurs, are we still interested?

Essex yod {Ed002's Note - I don't know of interest in Sneijder from Spurs but there is interest in Eriksen - don't hold your breath though.}

The interest in Eriksen was genuine, until Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan entered the same race. The agent tried to play each club off against each other, and Levy stepped out of negotiations after Eriksen stated his intent.

It is clear Eriksen's heart is with a move to AC Milan, and inferring that unless we offer considerably more then he will join them. This mercenary style of football negotiations is not acceptable to Levy. We already have one mercenary in Adebayor, and my money is on Eriksen joining the italian mob.

Sneijder on the other hand is a seasoned mercenary. Nobody moves to Turkey when there were options for him across all major European leagues. This was simply a financial issue as he refused to take a pay cut at Inter, and with similar 40-50% tax rates in these other main leagues, it was the 15% attractive football tax haven of Turkey that allowed Galatasary to get him. Ao it is obvious he cares more about money tgan football. and that only leaves PSG, Monaco, Chelsea or Man City who would be stupid enough to pay his ridiculous wages. As good as he is, I think football has to rise above this type of selfishness, and I say let him rot in Turkey.

13 Jun 2013 20:20:26
The mirror is reporting that inter have told levy that £21 million will be enough to land guarin after previously saying he is not for sale. Any truth in this Ed? Or just the usual bs?

Thfcmatt {Ed002's Note - I don't know what Inter have said, but that seems unlikely.}

13 Jun 2013 13:32:45
See we're being linked with fresh players today in the papers, Fredy Guarin from Inter, Radja Nainggolan of Cagliari and Ibrahim Afellay of Barcelona, Eds any truth?

Also i'm getting slightly worried by about AVB leaving and Bale following, i'd quite like both of them to come out in press and silence these rumours

d00gie {Ed002's Note - I don't see Guarin or Nainggolan moving to Spurs. Spurs could look to taking Afellay on a loan to buy deal.}

Nothing gives more authority to a rumour than coming straight out and denying it.

14 Jun 2013 10:31:49
£17mill bid for paulinho reported! Any truth in this ED? {Ed008's Note - First I've heard of it will need to look into it...

17 million euros, aka 14.5 million sterling, supposedly.

14 Jun 2013 07:12:43
Bale to PSG Ed? Reading a lot about it, hope not but if a staggering amount comes in can't see it being turned down {Ed008's Note - I read that this morning aswell, I think its the press linking PSG's reported interest and adding Bale to it, they can afford him but don't think its gonna happen. For me its Spurs or Real Madrid for him this season.

Thanks Ed

BowBowJack

14 Jun 2013 09:52:35
Basically rumours saying we want two Brazillians, with Paulinho being reportedly being close to signing (via Italia) and apparently AVB has sent scouts to Brazil to watch Bernard at the Confed Cup. {Ed008's Note -

Not a bad idea, him and sandro would be a strong partnership at CDM leaving dembele free to push further up the pitch and make more of an influence.

Lets Face it, we are linked with every player in virtually every country, When Mr Levi finally gets the cheque book out it will be a player that's not been mentioned previously.

Surely the chairman has learned his lesson by missing out on so many last minute transfers. I agree with the 10 players put on the transfer list, but we must not wait until these go before we buy.

We have Sando.

14 Jun 2013 11:27:27
On very good authority Levy is looking to tie up a deal for Mathieu Flamini who's contract is set to expire in a matter of weeks and will come in on a free. This will be the replacement for the outgoing Parker and Huddlestone. {Ed008's Note - I think Flamini agreed a new contract with Milan actually?

Sorry Ed, but your information on this one is incorrect. No contract has been signed and Flamini has spoken out of his relationship problems with Massimiliano Allegri. He's leaving Milan with Spurs at the front of the queue. {Ed008's Note - Never said it was my information its what the Italian press said but its well documented he doesn't get along with Allegri they want him to sign a new contract, Inter want to sign him.

FFS! hopefully not another ex-arseanal player coming to spurs! we've already had campell and gallas at the club and they didn't tur out to be all that! plus he is getting older aswell!

Spursfansam

Note : campbell left us for arsenal, so he wasnt ex arsenal when we had him
to be fair gallas was not at all bad
flamini is a good player.

Sorry my mistake!

14 Jun 2013 09:22:07
According to Italia we are close to signing Paulinho for 17m {Ed008's Note -

shorty

I was meant to say SKY Italia.
shorty {Ed008's Note - I know that's why I removed the sky part not allowed to advertise it. Also that's why I left my Ed's note there.

If you are not aloud to advertise it and removed it why did you not this time and you wrote it lol {Ed008's Note - I'm trying to make a point we can't advertise newspapers and others etc..

I see, thanks for the info Ed.
