Ante Vukusic is very close to signing

Apparently s**tty are preparing a 29m bid for llorente and are also due for talks later this week with hazard

Ryan fredricks need to be played more on the right wing when lennon gets injured

We have to try and prize away cisse and ba from newcastle if we Ade goes back 2 city and defoe wants to leave....

Fredricks looks good but i think next season would be 2 early for him..andros townsend and yago falque can play both left and right and look really good.i rate lenonn highly but when hes ou we look desperate on the right and walker has to do a 2 man job which he does well..bring in moses

I haven't personally been too impressed with Townsend, but think falque would be a good squad player next season. Think we should make a move for Hoillet since he would be a free.

What makes you think ba and cisse will come to us ? No champs league !

Harry Redknapp met Loïc Rémy yesterday at Orly airport. Looking good. Marseille is asking around £15M

Spurs Lad

Watched remy a few times and hes scored in every game ive seen(bout 7 games)..he looks good and would defo be a good striker to pair with vdv

3 goals from open play all season!

Watched remy a few times and hes scored in every game ive seen(bout 7 games)..he looks good and would defo be a good striker to pair with vdv
...
If he signs for us you must watch each game we play twice.

I would imagine most of these "deals" are conditional on the result of the CL final and if we get to play CL football next season.

HR f*** off and dont get him please don't be stingy and pay the extra 5 ish m and get Damiao ..... For the love of god don't blow the money we have been saving for 3 seasons on s**t like him ...... Agh !!!

Remy is certainly not the solution we need, he has a heart defect, scores infrequently from open play, and has shown to be lacking in the control department. The positive are he is 6ft tall, strong and can score from set pieces. At £15m I would be devastated if we signed him, it would remind me of when we signed Rebrov, another player hyped with limited ability.

The strikers we need are Damiao and Huntelaar and we have to stop looking for cheap alternatives. We have Defoe & Saha and to be honest I would rather just sign Dempsey and allow Kane and Couilbally a chance than sign an average forward like Remy. As Harry has said time and time again, we will only sign players who improve the team.

The strange thing is every one of you can see what we need, and for a year you have been left mystified by the lack of activity. You all scream out to Levy; Sell Gomes, Cudicini, Bassong, Corluka, Nelson, Bentley, Jenas, Pienaar, Krancjar and Saha. Put King into coaching and let Adebayor go back to City. Then go get us Lloris, Vertonghen, Hazard, Damiao & Huntelaar. When you have got them keep Caulker, Naughton, Coulibally and Kane as cover and let's go make a title challenge.

The Oracle

How can you call Damiao so much better than him when he is unproven in a European league?

Just watch him play his pace his power his heading and shooting ability hes younger
He scored against Barcelona he has bags more potential where even in the French leauge remy isn't exactly great

He scored against barcelona? so did torres and he is pish atm. also that is due to his team being below average this year.
Damiao plays in brazil it's not better than the french league

Who ever siad remy has scored 3 goals in open play hasne done his history on the player..hate to sound negative but we wont sign big players.we have to realise this after seasons and seasons of harry bying cheap or gettin freebies...remy would be a decent signing when u think of players like pav,crouch and dos santos,saha

Well there goes all our targets, f*** chelsea

Great Authority - Modric deal done - Johnson swap & cash

I am told that Tevez IS a definite possibility as long as we get CL - City want offload to make way for VAN P and are prepared to subsidise move - Tevez wants Italy but is prepared to go back to London where family a bit more settled

BUT most interestingly I have heard a whisper that Arry is putting a deal together for - Kaka from RM to replace Luka - early days but agent has been approached and i am told that a meeting will be set up late June (not sure why late June but thats the whisper)

you heard it here first

Harry the Nut

As a true spurs supporter would love to see.adam johnson,kaka and tevez at the lane but it isnt likely mate.mayb johnson but i just think your bored so u make u srupid rumors.

Modric going to utd done deal
I'd be happy with Vertonghen, Huntelaar and Dembele top players who we have a realistic chance of getting, and Bale has been known(on visits to Cardiff) to say he'd love to play for Real Madrid one day!

ou812

We won't get kaka and Tevez as three both on about 200k awk so no story there ? But adam johnson
Be good addition but does that mean bale goes back to left back? Coys

When s1 posts about players like tevez who is on 200k plus wages ,even if by some miracle that you sign him u would also have to increase other players wages .
citeh with there over inflated wages and transfer fees cannot move most of there players . because hey would you take a 50k wage cut to do the same job

18 May 2012 12:52:28
Spurs have held talks with eintracht frankfurt about their 21 year old central midfielder Sebastian Rode according to BBC Sport. Anybody know anything about him?

18 May 2012 11:55:31
I swear to god, don't let Harry control this window! I know you will all criticise me & what not, but Harry isn't going to take us where we want. We could be a new Arsenal (please god no) if we carry on signing below par backups to our class team, & notice i say team & not squad. That is where we fell short this season, our team were fantastic the first half, & then they were just dragging along, with no one decent to fill the gaps whether they were tired & needed a rest, or injured. Levy needs to push the bounderies, seal the JV deal, get in another CB!

With the midfield, we can't just do a same old Spurs! Selling Modric & or Bale, are we going absoloutly bonkers?!?!?! They are two of the main parts to our team, without them, we'd be well & truly screwed. KEEP THEM LEVY, WHATEVER THE COST! I think we should bring in Redmond or Hoilett as comp for Lennon, as he gets far to relaxed in his position, try & get Ade on a permanent, only if possible, & definately get Huntelaar.

Levy, bring in the quality for the team, the decent for the squad & get rid of all the sh*tty below par backups. If we let Harry control this window, we will come 5th-7th no doubt. Don't just do what we always do, get the class, do well for a season or two, & then flog em, & sink back into mid table, we're a top team now & we want to stay there, & even maybe push further. Lets pray that Bayern beat the chelski, sign the class, go out next year & get champo league again (above the scum), maybe win a trophy, & keep pushing on from there

Young Yid

You my friend speak more sense then most others on here. Absolutely agree - LEVY PLEASE SIGN PEOPLE EARLY SO EVERYONE CAN SETTLE IN PRE SEASON!
I have heard today that a fee has been agreed for JV so it sounds like its a done deal (Fingers crossed)
We should now have players on a £100K a week, seal Ade for a 3 year deal as that is when he starts to think about somewhere else. We need to get a deal wrapped up for a striker, and if we are going to bring in a midfielder/winger then its back up for the wings - with Tommy H coming back from injury, and Dawson we will have 2 solid players we didnt have last year.
I think JJ is worth keeping for more back up. I also heard that Walker is attracting interest from the big boys in Spain, but he is a loyal player and cant see him leaving. Also a lot of talk about a keeper - Ben Foster would do great with our coaching team, I reckon he has the ability to rival Joe Hart but needs a lot of work which I think Ray would do wonders with him.
Kaboul and BAE need to be kept so Levy needs to tell the Italian teams to bugger off!
In the next two years I can see a major trophy at the lane. COYS

Well done for the enthusiasm ...
I fully agree I really really hope levy does the purchasing ... Granted some ideas have to come from HR or in the very least be run past him because it's his squad.. And he may do a Gio and almost refuse unless it's absolutely desperate to field him ...
Come on Bayern !

Coudent agree more, redknapp and hes buys to say the least have hardly been inspiring, levy needs cheque book out and fast why wait until cl final result. need news blood. i know new stadium going to cost a few bob, but in last few windows hardly parted with any money. pay the money levy after all its the fans that put money in so lets see some of our money spent on top quality footballers and not oap's after one last pay day, as for modric and bale. great if they stay but if they truely dont want to play for us sell them get top dollar and bring in top notch players, players who wear the shirt fight for the shirt andwant tyo wear the shirt

Lets hope Levy can see what the fans can , we need early buys , good buys and to keep Arry away from the transfer dealings ! Dont ask him if he agrees , tell him or let him go . His track record in buying players absolutely stinks .
But after hearing about seedorf , del pierro and HOLT , looks like Arry has already had his say . Please no more oldies looking for a last payday , buy the decent players and we can go on from here . Levy , get the cheque book out NOW !!

I see some of u r just prancing around the real issue. The fact that Harry should be sacked. Because of his lack of strategy and hence his ignorance about players to bring in, as he has no system. Frankly, he has caused Spurs not be in the hunt for the title forthe last 2 seasons. Why, because luck and the individual brilliance of our players can only carry a team so far. If you disbelieve, look at the matches again strategically and you will see my point. No doubt we have talented players but we need acoach with a good attacking strategy who knows which players to bring in to complement the team - it is not Harry if we want to win trophies. Possible targets should be Brendon Rodgers, Roberto Martinex, Frank Riikjard. Bottom line, it does not matter which players we bring in, if Harry is the manager, we will not be winning anything and that should be our ambition as Spurs fans.

Forgot: another top manager would be Bielsa

Problem is there no guarantee another manager would be an improvement. Look at Chelsea for example, they didn't improve when AVB arrived.

Harry being sacked is a laod of rubbish...im sorry but i love spurs but im going to be realistic hear.....look wot was happening to us befoe rednapp signed..now we finishing top 4 with a quality squad which we havent had better since 1987/1988.....we should of finished top 3 i agree but if u told me even 5/6 years go that spurs would have all this talent and finishing in hamps leagues places i would of told u wear to go lol..hes done a top job and we looking better season after season...good luck to him i say and long live harrys reign at the mighty spurs....................
DAPZ

Harry inherited most of the players, brings in old players or mercenaries, and tactically and technically inept!

For people to think that Harry can't take us further is, in my opinion, fair, but to say that he hasn't done anything for us and he's inept is simply stupid.

He might have inherited the players but he's the one that made them work well. The players need to take some of the blame for our drop in form this season. It also has to be understood, that Levy is just as much behind the transfer activity as Harry and there wasn't going to be huge investment with the court case looming.

Besides, who that is proven, that wants to leave their current club, would be a worthy replacement? Expecting managers like Rodgers and Martinez to lift us from 4th to the top is simply naive. I'd prefer to stick with a guy that had us fighting for the title for a good portion of the season than some one unproved at the top level. LEt's be realistic. Just saying...

Just a thought let me know what you think.
With Blackburn being relegated would it be worth picking up Yakubu. He has score at a bit better than 1 goal every 3 games at sides like Middlesborough Everton Portsmouth and Blackburn. With us he will be given more chances in front of goal and is a proven finisher
COYS

Would prefer someone better .... But I'd your talking about back up ? Maybe

Hell to the no. He won't put in performances unless he is the main man. If he is the main man - we don't get top six.

18 May 2012 10:09:39
Too many names who we "are signing" being chucked around on here. I know its a rumours page but we all know form past experiences that Levy wont splash the cash even though he knows he needs to in order to have a serious title shot next season. I image Modric to leave and head to Manchester, possibly the Blue side as United will not cough up £40-45million for one player. I expect levy to invest some of the cash generated from the Modric sale on new transfers but not on the big names we are all crying out for. 'Arry is a wheeler and dealer so i think he will take Hoilett and spend £7million on Vertonghen. Other than that i cant see any big signings coming in. And here is the possibility we are all dreading........ i expect us to snap up Micheal Owen, its the typical spurs way. We all want Llorente, Damaio, Cavani etc but thats not realistically going to happen. Personally i think we should take a punt on Grant Holt, out and out goal scorer and with the service bale, lennon and VDV can provide him i think he will score goals for us and wont cost us an arm and a leg on transfer fee and wages

Rich

It's been confirmed 50m to spend So much as levy doesn't want to spend the money he's given a chunk to be spent plus the sales of our dead wood
Bentley , jenas , bassong , gio * unfortunately * Gallas isn't how he used to be and needs shifting ... Khumalo ... Saha
We should have 51 m to spend xD ok I joke but you get the point we should have a fair bit to spend I think this season ... Will break the mild on not buying quality and rather getting players to tide us over

Holt it a great player

I was enjoying reading that until you said Grant Holt...

How do you go from saying let's get Damiao, Llorente, Cavani and then go "but I'd have Grant Holt"?!

He would be something like 178th choice for me...

I didnt say "lets get Llorente, Damaio, cavani etc" i said thats the kind of player we are all crying out for. My point was although they are the kind of players we want, myself included, i cant see Spurs splashing that kind of cash around hence why i mentioned Grant Holt. Okay he's not the best forward out there or technically skillful but he knows where the back of the net is which he has proven 15+ times this season in a Norwich shirt and he wont cost us an arm and a leg on tranfer fee and wages. Like i said above i would love levy to splash the cash on some quality world class players but im just being a realist and not building myself up to just be disappointed when we have a shocking transfer window again. I hope 'Arry and Levy prove me wrong.

Rich

Please , lets leave Grant Holt where he is ! If he was that good then other teams would be looking at him , and he is 31 years old for gods sake . If this is our targets then keep saha ! Spurs should be able to afford and get better players than this . If not , then next season will be the same , nearly there , not quite , just like Arsenal !!

17 May 2012 21:42:36
Apparently spurs Are showing "interest" in out of contract ac Milan veteran Clarence seedorf.

Mk1

Would love seedorf at the lane. Class player him n sandro in the middle beautiful

We DO NOT need any more midfielders. And we DO NOT need any more old fogeys.

Was a class act now past his best just like Edgar Davids was

ou812

We are been linked with Seedorf and Del Pierro. i think we can see which direction spurs are heading unfortunately!!

Well sorry to spoil the party but from where I was sitting, Edgar David's was superb at Spurs. He provided unity and confidence and those two seasons saw Spurs finish in 5th both times. A brilliant player who experience like Seedorf will be infectiously positive should we gain Champion League Football.

Seedorf on a free transfer £50k a week wages - Yes please Levy and kick that lazy buffoon Bentley out the door.

The Oracle

Seedorf WAS world class but we need current WORLD CLASS players and not has beens.i accept that davids worked for us and player would learn alot from seedorf but r players r developed anyway and if we did buy a center mid(which is already packed otu)i would want lassana diara

17 May 2012 20:54:24
We r in 4 oezil to replace modric and we r in 4 hulk to replace bale and finaly that jonny vertongen has acepted terms and will join soon. Up da spurs init.

Above post has convinced me these will happen. Get a life ffs.
Go back to your own teams site please and leave proper fans to discuss their own team

What a very sad individual you are, i bet you thought it was funny in your pathetic world?

Iniesta and cesc assist =53
Ozil assists = 57

One of the best in the world, at one of the best teams in the world.

Possibility of transfer = 0%

Naz

17 May 2012 16:56:34
Ganso and Hulk are coming to Tottenham Hotspur.

I wish these gooners would stop posting crap on here

Followed by:

Damio
Kaka
Tevez
Rossi
Cahill
Given
Robben
hazard

Every season we get linked to everyone. We end up with Saha and nelson.
I wish people would get real.
These transfers dont happen to us.

Ganso maybe if it was last January I woulda believed you ....
But now a big lol to both

17 May 2012 16:09:27
Adler moves to Hamberg on a free, I hope Levy at least tried for this trandfer.

Lucio has handed in a transfer request, would be an ideal signing for us for a year or 2!

Naz

Lucio from inter? if so yh lets sign another past it cb for crazy wages jheeze and hes crap anyway

Yes Lucio from Inter, yes he is old but an amazing attacking CB. 19 goals in his career, how many goals did we score from corners last season.... 0! Just 2 goals from a corner could have given us 3rd place!

Naz

17 May 2012 14:31:57
Owen is to meet Levy on his return form holiday - this was already discussed at the end of last season but I have on good authority that initial contact was made in January.

We are trying to secure another loan deal for Adie, we cant buy cos he wont leave his current contract - hopeful but Chelsea have also requested talks

Sadly Luka is on his way out - Man Utd have already tabled an offer and is his preferred destination

Replacement is going to be Junior Hoillet

Last one - I again have on good authority that we are closely monitoring Adam Johnson situation and would prefer Luka to go here a part swap deal - including Carlos Tevez!!!!!!

Not sure I want him though?

Adam johnson be agood addition to the spurs side but means bale will go back to be a left back ?

What a load of twaddle!

Why would you replace Modric, a cm with Hoilett who i am almost certain is a winger?

This is crap, how would Hoillet replace modders, two totally different players, and Modders said he's deciding after the euros.

Also what is with everyones Teves to spurs obsessions? It's not going to happen, I'd like to see Johnson though, but he plays RW so why would Bale go to LB?

Steed

Johnson nomally plays off the right so would be great competition for lennon

But hes all left footed.he likes to play left mid

I think Modric is gone, and I think it's to Man utd. I'm sure he will only get better, on the up side, I think he will go for 40-45 million.

I really like Modric and I think he does all the simple things perfectly, the fact that he doesn't score is neither here nor there. Thanks for the profit and I wish you well.

There are replacements out there, only problem is it took Modric half a season to find his feet, and the new guy (whomever it is, hopefully Hamsik) will probably take the same. Not many people can come to a new team, league, culture and fit in straight away.

I too have heard Hoilette is almost a certain done deal with Vertonghen.

I have also heard rumours we have contacted Fulham in regards to Dembele.

Naz

If you think we have an issue paying Ade how do you expect to pay Tevez ?

Hoilett yes please
Johnson yes please the rest of it is dribble

All I'm going to say is that with glazer debt, I'm not sure united can justify spending that sort of money on one player who doesn't score goals. And before you get at me, I know that's not his game, but the fact is strikers are always gonna command the biggest fees

Wouldnt say no to modric nani money swap deal. Johnson yes Hoilett not convinced about.

Tevez deal will be paid by for City - they want him off rota for VAN P

Modric out - KAKAKAKAKAKa

17 May 2012 13:33:03
Tottenham are interested in making a 18 million bid for Samir Nasri. Also Bentley set for a move to La Galaxy for 2 mil.

Yawn..really nasri to us after he berated gallas for joining us. Dont think so.

Lol
Bear yid

We won't go or get nasri as he on 200k awk and levy wont pay that lol, maybe bring in Tevez and adebayor they be good togther up front coyyyssss

Isn't Tevez on about 280 pw?

^^^^ They are on even bigger wages!

Didnt nasri have an issue with gallas coming to us. So why would he. Thinks gooners shouldnt move to us.

17 May 2012 11:58:15
I would make a look at trying to get micheal owen a proven goal scorer, i still think he has the will to win and wont cost us a penny and why not look at nani as well

Slight difference from 30m Hulk.... to Free to a good home great with children fully house trained Owen.

Will to win? this is the same man who has willingly wasted the last 2 years of his career instead of agitating for more playing time

I don't want Owen. I think he is past it and more injury prone than Ledley

Naz

Owen is totally what we need, sit him on the bench bring him on if we need a goal cos he knows were the goal is but not 1st choice player...uuummm just like defoe and maybe get kevin phillips while were at it

ou812

Owen want to stop in northwest cos of his horses , he wants to move to everton

17 May 2012 11:36:47
Just seen on ssn that Michael Owen is leaving utd,
Anyone else agree he would be a good back up striker for us
And Harry could probably get something out of him...... Bare in mind he will be free as well.

Owen will look for assurance about regular first-team football before he signs anywhere. Spurs can't offer him that.

One word..NO!

He wont look for first team football, if he cared about that then he would have left united years ago

16 May 2012 21:52:56
Vertonghen has agreed personal terms but fee still to be agreed. Looks like we are gona have to get rid of some cb's to make space as we have 7 already :/

Gallas and Nelson are probably going to move on, Ledley is never going to be considered a first team regular anymore and Daws loves an injury, realistically your looking at Younes and maybe Daws as competition? yet to see what is gonna happen with Caulker, seems happy at Swans and they want him back, may not be a bad idea to let him carry on playing every week in Prem, perhaps with a call back option if needed?

Khumalo ... Gallas ... Nelsen ...
Leaves us King kaboul caulker Dawson
I see caulker going on loan again although he shouldn't tutalage under king would make that kid an absolute legend like king himself in a few seasons ....
And bring in jan so we would have
2 lots of CBS .... Plus one if we don't send caulker out .... Then again with the amount king and Dawson are injured we may need caulker problem sorted plus
From sales of khumalo and Gallas to an American side 2m between the two
And about 50 k ? Of wages saved put those extra 2 m to secure J V and the wages saved go into his wages ....
Job done

I didn't mean khumalo USA bound I meant Gallas

All sounds good hopefully happens and sign some strikers

I was including bassong in them 7 aswell btw no bongani

Ooops I actually forgot about bassong .....
Now I feel a bit silly ... He will be sold as well though ...

Don't worry, it's easy to forget about bassong

16 May 2012 19:57:23
Apparently Southampton want
Harry Kane on loan
Bear yid

Be good to see kane geting games in the premier league next season with southampton so hopefully they will take him on loan for the season

Or perhaps he'll end up like Falque, didnt even kick a ball in the red and white shirt. not sure they are the best team for playing the players they have loaned...

Yeah it would be good ... I'd Defintley like to see that hopefully it puts in place a future starter for us and we'd have a decent squad with decent youngsters and English
Walker ... Caulker ... Kane ... Rose if he gets loaned to a prem side and gets some first action Livermore * why do people hate in him ? * give him a year or two hell be good especially having tutors like Parker and modric .... He's still young ...
Tom caroll a decent youngster
The future is bright guys

16 May 2012 19:53:46
A deal for Hulk is in place.

Only between the film companies for hulk 2 & 3 and avengers 2.
What a stupid comment. If that happens I will eat my sons hulk hands.
Prob a goon poster

Source?

I've heard he has a deal in place with chelski.
One thing is for shore tho, he will not be a spurs player next season.
Heard all this last couple of windows.
This and that top player signing.
Our best will be ade or remy.

Seriously, where has all the Hulk talk come from? He is far to expensive, would love to see him in a Spurs shirt but how on earth are we going to keep him to the wage structure?

Wasn't his buyout clause 80
M? Surely even Chelsea would cringe at that ?

Just because his buy-out clause is £80million doesn't mean Porto wouldn't accept less.

That just means they can't refuse that much - wake up!

15 May 2012 20:51:47
It was reported in the sub that jan vertonghan (don't know spelling) had a VIP tour of the lane earlier. Thoughts?

Yes he was present, but the clubs are still agreeing a suitable fee. Sign him asap Levy!

My spurs transfer wishlist:

Jan verghonten
Damiao
Huntleaar

Sorry for the spelling. I think with these signings we would be amazing and a massive title contenders.

Cheers

Jon

My team for next season:
Lloris,
Walker, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Benny
Lennon, Modric, Sandro, Bale
Damiao/Vdv Ade/Huntelaar COYS

Jimmy

Ins:
Maarten Stekelenburg - 5m, Jan Vertonghen - 7m
Hulk - 32m, Adebayor - 4m

Outs:
Pienaar - 4m, Corluka - 4m, Gomes - 2m, Bassong - 4m, Khumalo - 1m, Dos Santos - 8m, Nelson - Free
Saha - Free, Bentley - Free, Friedel - Free

................Stekelenburg
Walker....Kaboul.....Vertonghen....Bale
.............Sandro....Modric
Lennon............Hulk..............VDV
...................Adebayor

Subs: Cudicini, Ekotto, Dawson, Parker, Kranjcar, Defoe, Townsend

Jermain

Jermaine normally your fairly sensible but come on Ade 4 m they want like 10 for him ... Plus a few m we would have to pay for compensation to lack of wages in a boost
Verghonten they want according to reports between 9 and 12 ... M i can't see levy snatching 7 for him ...
Bentley we could probably get a few m why we paid 17 or whatever the hell paid for him
Is beyond me ....
And I think kranjcar will be sold

That is the exact same team i could wish spurs having. It would be awsome.

ED's any possibilty on these?

Come on Levy if you read these forums do us a favour and just sign them... You have the money.

Jon

Man City do not want Adebayor back! A price was already agreed between spurs and city if we were to sign him, 4/6m.

Jermain

Bale???????

15 May 2012 18:11:27
Tottenham are looking at Adil Rami of Valencia.

15 May 2012 16:49:53
Reports today that remy is waiting to see if bayern munich beat chelsea before decideing on coming to us as he wants champions league football which i reckon bayern munich be way to strong for chelsea i hope ha,but remy being injured for the euros and being out for a month i tink he will be fresh for the new season then so be a good signing,honestly i think our signings are down to this saturday the defender from ajax and remy i think will sign next week if bayern munich beat chelsea,n lets all hope harry can pull rabbit out the hat n try get someone like hazard also but thats wishfull thinking

I personally do not rate Remy, especially for such a hefty price. I suggest going for Ade and someone like Huntelaar rather than Remy.

Jimmy

15 May 2012 16:39:03
Adebayor will not remain at the lane next season. Remy rumour is NOT true... outstanding Montpellier striker Giroud is the real target (French media know this, stupid English media havnt cottoned on yet) whilst Peter Crouch will return as backup in a shock move

HA
HAHA
HA
HA
WOW
HA

Giroude may be the object of our desires, but no way Crouch comes back

15 May 2012 09:36:48
Hey guys Iam a spurs fan and I have heard that jan vertongen (spelling sorry) was at the lane on Sunday with levy and co at half time,and now Lioc Remy is due to have spurs talks on Wednesday ? Do u think we will or can sign both, and get rid off Saha,nelson,gallas,frieldel,king to retire but stay on as defencive coach, hold on to bale, modric,sandro, and maybe give more game time to jake Livermore? No matter Wat the result on Saturday we must keep hold of our top players?? Do u think spurs should sign adebayor on a perm deal???? Cheers guys coysssss

I have been out to aajax 7 times this year and i promise you he is an awesome CB who will be a prem legend in a few years great signing for you guys if it goes through

Adebayors first touch is woeful and he may well have the most assists but he's there to score so it's a no from me. Modric will go so i'd have Sandro and Parker in the holding roles full backs bombing on and Dempsey and VDV up top

Vertoghen would be good and remy but would like berbatov and ba too. let bently nico gallas defoe saha nelson and jenas go. ade to go back to man city. caulker and naughton to be brought in. Like baines at lb too to compete with bae. Al habsi or vorm for gk.

Any other realistic fans fear for the future of our club let's face it if we don't make CL next year there could be the chance that bale and modric could leave if the price is right (like any player par messi)and with adebayor loan up and saha contract up were short or strikers and if I state IF bale n mod r sold our midfeild lacks creativity and have a very aging defence what's every1 realistic thoughts and yours ed

First post on the site good job guys
IRISH JOE

I agree with you Irish Joe but you have forgotton about one man. IN LEVY WE TRUST.

The Rabbit

There is supposedly already £50million to spend, so if Bale and Modric both leave that gives us a total of at least £120million. Obviously no CL means there are certain players you can't get but the future is bright whatever happens.

Get Berba back!
Still a great player, has scored goals when Utd have actually played him a bit and realistic fee and wages for us. It's about as box-office as we can hope for, particularly if (most likely when) Chelski win next week.
Wait for it; ever seen a German team lose a major tie on penalties in Germany? Will probably do so next Saturday.

But they lost to another German team do it doesn't count haha COYS

Not interested,i'd rather have a player who fights for the badge,like Sandro,Parker,and Kaboul do.

That's all very well but i'd fight for the badge and you don't want me up front for us, or any of the players you mentioned there for that matter. We need fowards, Saha was a short-term deal, Ade is a loan, Defoe does a certain job but is not an option as the only out and out forward, neither is Rafa. Damaio, Huntelaar, Drogba, Falcao, Llorente.....i'd welcome them all but we've dragged our heels so many times in the past two years and the prices and/or wages aren't going to be much better now.

Dear People

Let's get over Berbatov and this hang up with his sulking exit. Unlike the traitor Campbell he left for £30.75m to the dominant force in European football. At the time we were a sleeping giant at best and a midtable nightmare at worst. He was clearly a player of world class talent and any unbiased observer would have wanted to see him perform at the highest level. He was absolutely fantastic at Spurs, and has consistently delivered nearly 1:2 goals to games ratio at every club and level. Sure he is getting to his twilight years, but was never a player who was reliant on blistering pace. I would compare him as a more skilful version of Teddy Sheringham. Brilliant vision and a total composure in front of goal will see him deliver for another 3-4 years. I see him as a superb addition to our squad, composed assured and bags of experience will be useful if Bayern Munich do the job. If not then we will need depth in our squad and at 31 years with a short contract he would be ideal. Sure he has high wage demands but will now appreciate playing for Spurs at this stage of his career, and would be open to more reasonable contractual terms.

The Oracle

I'd agree I'd have him not as our main striker though .... However someone to be bought on if we are lacking that cutting edge in a game

Berbatov and Remy as the front two - sounds feasible to me. Very similar to the Berbatov/Keane partnership of afew years back. I seem to recal that partnership scored over 50 goals (in all comps) between them

13 May 2012 14:22:43
Gary Hooper is banging them in again.scored 5 goals today..i think he could be a good signing for us! look how well Jelavic has done at Everton

He is also a hugh spurs fan!

Spurs Lad

Only problem is he might be bitter because we rejected him 20 minutes into his trial when he was 14

Or he has something to prove?

Spurs Lad

Whilst Gary Hooper could potentially be a class act, I would be very careful with Scottish Football in deep depression. I honestly believe Bolton could win the Scottish Premiership at the moment, the glory days are over. You put Gomes, Corluka, Bassong, Caulker, Rose , Pienaar, Jenas, Krancjar, Bentley, Kane & Defoe as a first XI and they would win that league. So sure if you can steal Hooper for £5-7m then worth a punt, but I would rather make a serious £15m bid personally for Papiss Cisse who looks outstanding from where I am sitting.

The Oracle

I agree with The Oracle for once

Oracle, you actually made some sense this time!!

Welcome back Oracle. You've had an imposter on here for awhile squire. This is more like it - Informed and sensible.

110% agree with you.

Flippit

Well the ED generally does a fantastic job, and impersonators are flattery in disguise. The great thing is most of you identified it before I wrote my confirmation.

I know we won't sign them but seriously Papiss Cisse and Davide Santon at Neecastle would be absolutely superb buys. I am mystified how Europe's most talked about LB moves to Newcastle for a pittance. Santon is going to become world class and Papiss Cisse was already firing them in by the bucket load in Germany. Quite how Pardew slipped under the radar and got them along with Tiote is simply astounding. No surprise Newcastle have done so well and about time we stopped making excuses about players and took a leaf out of Pardew's book.

The Oracle

Well said Oracle...... well said

Naz

Why would the barcodes lets cisse go he's only been there for 5 months.

My God.....Oracle talking sense

Cisse would cost 30m easy.

Gary Hooper - are we for real?! I guarantee you that Ricardo Fuller, Kevin Davies, Jason Roberts, Yakubu, Danny Graham and even Bendtner (ok maybe that's pushing it) are all better and have played at Premiership level.

Cisse will start next season bad that would be a bad signing jelavic is better, secondly we need to find our own players not sign newcastles maybe we should sign there scouts,

We did have there chief scout, Graham Carr was once a scout for us!
Mo

Let me guess mo, he's the one that bought bale, modric and berba

12 May 2012 16:48:07
Tottenham have enquired about potentially signing Samir Nasri as he has not had the greatest start to his Man City career.
Also rumours of a 8 mil bid for Bendtner as a back up striker, due to the fact he is leaving arsenal and spurs require strikers as all 2 may leave the club

The Oracle

Yeah rite try again!

We couldnt afford Nasri's wages and Bendtner is worse than useless. Jesus Oracle, what the hell have you been smoking today? This latest one is mental - even for you !

Flippit.

Really they haven't

Haha oracle your desperate, get a life

He posted this on our site also

Surely this is a wind up and not the real oracle

8m for bender!.
at those prices i'll dig my franz beckanbaers out of the wardrobe!
what a load of tosh

I agree ..... I don't think this is
The real oracle either .... At least his "predictions " are a bit more sane and pro spurs than this

Dear ED

Once again you allow an imposter to post under my name, in a frivolous attempt to sabotage me. I thought you had agreed to delete these false posts, after I agreed to provide my email address each time.

So to the person who linked Nasri under my name, I can only be flattered that you and others take the time to impersonate me.

To the real Spurs fans on here, get ready for action as we destroy Fulham and Hodgson's men do us a favour.

The Oracle {Ed037's Note - Sorry about that mate, i'll have a word with everyone}

Be more than happy to give us 8mil for Bendtner.

To the Gooner clearly Trolling us, I wouldn't sell Bendtner just yet as you will need him when Van Persie goes. Bendtner and Podolski will be your new front line next season.

The Oracle

Ouch! .

Don't think so Oracle, Because Bendter isn't good enough to play in C/league.

Were bigger club, bigger history, better stadium and in a better position financially to challenge once are beautiful stadium is paid for.

Oracle and ouch

Bendtner stats
played goals assists shots
29 8 5 62

Modric
36 4 4 83

He done this with a mask on {Ed004's Note - Difference is it isn't really Modric's job to score is it? Modric is a midfielder and makes Spurs tick when on the other hand Bendthner can't even start for Arsenal. A bit stupid comparing a midfielder and a striker}

Stupid comparison. About as useless as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.

Naz

But look at the Assists ED {Ed004's Note - And? Bring me relevant stats such as Passes Completion percentage? Interceptions? Number of Passes a game? How many times he has provided the ball to the assister?}

^^^nonsense^^^ assists is based on a pass that has set up goal.

This gooner has lost it

Typical Gooner talking utter nonsense. Well done on third place, and congratulations on your fantastic stadium that was designed with acoustic consideration. You make stupid uneducated comparisons playing with meaningless facts. Sure Modric is so poor he has been man of the match so many times. Let me show you another meaningless fact and turn it on you; without Van Persie you would have scored 30 less goals and been relegated.

So let's hope the left footed Podolski doesn't become the next Healy who was terrible at club level and great internationally. It would be a major coup if you can extend Van Persie's contract but it looks very unlikely in my opinion. If he wants to leave you are in for a nightmare as he will do what Sol Campbell did to Spurs. I think he will go to Real Madrid for about £20m which will be a bigger theft than the great train robbery. If we then take the transfer history over the last 7 years it will see your board bank £10m and buy another Mertesaker, Gervinho or maybe a Squilacci and Bendtner. Anyway at least you are guaranteed Champions League football, just need a team, acoustic roof on the stadium and signing lessons for your fans and you might pinch a draw here and there.

The Oracle

12 May 2012 14:53:12
these arent rumours, just personal opinions.
Spurs need a new goalkeeper, as Friedal is getting on a bit so I think one of Foster, Vorm or Mandanda would fit the bill. Also heard whispers about Ter-Stagen (unsure about spelling) possibly moving.
Defence: I'm confident Vertonghen will sign and also think a bid should be made for Baines, who I would rate as one of the best LB's in the league.
Midfield: Bale and Modric will stay. Can see a move for Hoillet and possibly Hazard, but he looks to be in it for the money. Ganso would be a fantastic signing, but again looks unlikely.
Strikers: Ade will leave, Defoe will stay. Saha i think may get a new deal but low wages. Also can imagine Remy signing as the attraction of Champions League football may be too good to resist. Also would love to see Dzeko move to Spurs, got a lot to offer but not given the chance. Wages will be a stumbling block though.

12 May 2012 11:07:03
Pesonally i think the only striker we should look at is olivier grioud as he is exactly what we need! would probably be cheaper than Damiao aswell.

Ed your thought? {Ed002's Note - It was expected that Giroud would stay within France with a move to PSG but performances this season have seen Lyon, Marseille, Valencia, Newcastle, Villarreal, Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and particularly Malaga show an interest. At one point Nicollin discussed the interest in the player saying Newcastle were too minor a club and Arsenal would have to pay 50M euros, if not 60M euros for the player. The reality is that he will move for perhaps 20M euros or so in the summer as it will be tough for Montpellier to persuade him to stay. Interest at the moment is still being shown by Arsenal and probably Liverpool - Bayern Munich have made an approach to Montpellier about Giroud who has let it be known that he has spoken with Ribery about a move to Bayern Munich. The player has also declared an interest in a move to Italy. I don't see Marseille being able to pay enough, nor even Lyon.}

IMO we need to bring in two centre forwards this summer; there are only a small number of centre forwards around that can really guarantee 25-30 premierleague goals a season (gomez, van persie, huntelaar, higuain, benzema, falcao, rooney, aguero, ibrahimovic, cavani). Other than possibly Huntelaar I don't think we are gonna be capable of sigining this calibre of player. Hence, we should get two forwards who can compete with each other and share the burden. I'd sign one more experienced forward for

11 May 2012 08:53:58
I have a feeling City will look to release Dzeko in the transfer window and we will make a bid. Could do well at Spurs where he'll get playing time. Seriously doubt we could afford his wages though.

Would get lots of playing time with us as he would be the main man, but theres no way we'll pay his wages. Nice idea and I would love it to happen, but I also agree with your last point so I cant see it happen either.

Flippit.

Would be a great buy if City let him go on the cheap; in this way, we can give him a signing on fee.

11 May 2012 08:49:19
It seems we are looking for a bargain goalkeeper as interest in Ben Foster, Robert Green and even Paul Robinson echo around the boardroom at White Hart Lane. Surprisingly all are still relatively young by goal keeping standards., and all three have flirted with England recognition. Paul Robinson is still only 32 and was probably unfairly moved on when his form dipped behind a suspect defence. Poor old Rob Greene looked world class until one howler for England saw his confidence and reputation fall like a house of playing cards. Greene has since been very assured in goal and has been instrumental in giving The Hammers a real chance of promotion. Still only 32 like Robinson and with contract vulnerable for all players they could be the value bet for the future past Friedel. I would love to see Gomes, Cudicini, Alnwick and Friedel move on. I am not sure we need to look overseas when we have this sort of homegrown talent. People talk about Lloris but is he really a better keeper than Robinson? Jack Butland looks like England's future and two from Greene, Foster and Robinson would be great additions to provide the depth, experience and cover required to nurture a superb talent like Butland. So whilst there is little offensive action at the moment, I ask you is it nit time to ship out the old and bring in the new?

No prediction but enough noise to make me wonder if solutions lie closer to home !

The Oracle {Ed002's Note - Santos goalkeeper Rafael has attracted the attention and confirmed interest from Atletico Madrid, Palermo and Spurs. Caniggia has also had Rafael watched on behalf of Liverpool. Roma have gone as far as making an offer circa 6M euro. A move is quite likely in the summer.}

Robinson is awful can we get serious here would much prefer Gomes back in if that's our options at least he pulls off the odd world class save

Robet Green looked world class!?!? The howler against the USA wasn't his only, it was just the highest profile one he made. He is a fair to sometimes decent keeper at the most, no thanks!

Robert Green is the worst keeper i have ever seen.

Jermain

Ben Foster would be a good replacement for Freidel but would like a more higher profile keeper

Naz

Craig Gordon is on a free cost safc 9 million,Had injury problems but is Scotland's number one and only today won an award for greatest save in premiership history just seen it on sky sports news for a save against bolton in 2010,quality keeper if fit.

I think you'll find Allan McGregor is Scotland's number 1, and will continue to be so.

No gordon is number 1 fact.Mcgreggor is only playing at the moment because of Gordon's injuries.

Out of the two I'd rather we signed McGregor and he should be cheap with Rangers problems.

I think we should pull out all the stops to get Lloris though. Heading to Milan? Maybe but lets at least make him an offer. He's young, classy and has great experience plus he's looking to move. If we secure Champs League why not us? After all I don't remember AC Milan being that impressive ;)

Ok, Gordon will be fine in the next month or so. Let's see who gets the jersey then eh?

10 May 2012 19:55:49
Barcelona will offer david villa+10m for bale

What are your sources mate

Crap deal, a 30 year old, high wages and is injured. Not going to happen!!!

Spurs Lad

F**k that .Villa aint worth that much and injury prone !
Davo

I would consider that offer! We get a top class striker plus a good amount of money to put towards a replacement for bale. I know it would not be easy to replace him but while he keeps drifting infield he is becoming more ineffective. Amy thoughts on a suitable replacement?

Keep the players can we have dema ba or pappis cissie or Carlos tevez good luck

IMO, keep Bale, either buyout Villa (if possible) or buy Cavani (he hasnt got champions league) or Dimiao or Falcao.

how realistic the buys will obviously depend on if we get champions league.

Naz

Sell Bale and buy McLean from sunderland,that lad is going to be one hell of a player,well to be fair his quality now.Watch him at the euros for Ireland he will be a star of the tournament.

Villa could probably b bought for 15ml, so its ridiculous to think levy would only rate bale at 25 ml, Even if barca rated villa at 20 ml again can u see levy taking 30ml for bale? Get out of here.
If barca were to offer villa & Pedro or Affelay I'd take hand off them but tealistically if bale was to b sold there's only City psg malaga cheatski & Anzhi that could afford a straight up cash deal. cant see bale moving to France or russia, malaga highly unlikely so if it leaves city ad the only realistic sale as I can't see levy doing business with another London club.
Spurs will let bale play in Olympics so can see him stating for another season b4 been sold but i suppose u never can no for sure if it becomes crazy money.
Espur {Ed004's Note - And how much do you expect to get if you sell Bale. Now take into consideration that he has recently said he will consider his career with Spurs if they don't get Champions League football. I can only see you getting around 25 million if he wants out of the club and forces his way out}

Ed - I think you undervalue levy's skill as a negotiator. Think about the berba situation, he was on strike and didn't even have as much potential as bale does, and levy still got 30 million for him. Bale will not be sold for less than 35m. {Ed004's Note - No one in their right mind would pay that much for Bale in all honesty. You be extremely lucky to get that for Bale as he hasn't really set the world alight other than a handful of games.}

Are u serious Ed004 do u think levy gives a flying hoots what bale thinks or says, he didnt with Modric that's for sure. How many yrs has he got left on his contract the exact same as modric so honestly mate your deluded if u think spurs would only value bale at 25ml, your talking about one of the most sought after left sided players in the world at moment so in all honesty it doesn't matter what price i rate him at its what spurs rate him at that counts & it sure as hell is more than 25ml.
How long had downing got left on his contract & how much did he go for? 20 ml. I don't know who u support ed but if there are a number of clubs after bale City more than likely would blow utd & cheski, Madrid or whoever out of the water. {Ed004's Note - You would need to get a bidding war started and the only club that seem to be interested in Bale is Barcelona and possibly the Milan clubs. Also hasn't Bale stated he wants to go abroad therefore that rules City out. He will also want to go to a team with good players and in a good league ruling Anzi and PSG out. Leaving only the Milans and Barcelona. Why would Madrid want him? He is not better than Ronaldo... Chelsea have just got Marin so can't see them wanting him... Also Man City don't really play with wingers so why would they go for Bale? They have to get a few strikers imo if they are looking to get rid of Dzeko or Tevez or Balotelli. Also we have all seen how both Spanish clubs can get their players on the cheap. Take Sanchez for example. Every club in world seemed to want him and he was bought for 24 or 28 million.}

Sorry Ed, but I agree with the above poster. I'm confident Levy could get 35 million at least. People said he could only get 20 million for Modric but was able to get Chelsea to bid 40 million and still say no.

Berba, Carrick, Keane, are just some of the people he was able to negotiate a value higher than first thought.

Naz

It doesn't matter what the media, the player, the fans, the other club think a player is worth...all that matters is our valuation...if Bale isn't worth it, then teams can piss off and we will keep him...fine

Agreed with every poster here ....
Especially the modric case 40 m was offered and it was shot down ..... Modric refused to play against man u .... Still we held firm
Levy is a truly fantastic buisnessan and stern as hell when it comes to getting the price we want for players
Just because a different club want one of our prized players does it mean we have to sell cheap because he's not Ronaldo or whoever else thats gone for a load
No it bloody well doesn't because we want to keep Him therefore they'd have to compensate us over whatever market value he's actually got ...
Your an absolute fool to say he'd go for 25 m
Looks like guys our new targets are
Cavani 5 m
Huntelaar 5 m
Pique 5 m
And getting them to sign contracts on 20 k a week ?

Why I hear you ask ? Because that's what we want ??? It doesn't work like that

Ed - if you think that only barca will want him, then he's not going to move. Barca are in debt and can't afford Bale, that's why they're going for alba. The reason they got people like fabregas so cheap was because they are his childhood club. I mean what are barca going to do, appeal to Bales strong sense of Catalan national pride? {Ed002's Note - Barcelona have an interest in the player but that is far from making any sort of offer. They have players to be sold and players they will look to exchange this summer.}

ED one thing all us Spurs fans do is become very possessive when we talk about our stars. Sure we may be overselling when we talk about Bale being worth £60m, but seriously you are totally off your rocker if you think he is worth £25m. We sold Crouch for £12m and Palacios for £7,920,000 and you think a world class star will sell for £25m. You say he has been average when he had been fantastic for the last two years. Still only 22 years old and still improving, so expect £40m+ if a cash deal is struck with Barcalona. Personally I expect Afellay will get thrown in on a player + around £35m cash deal.

ED not sure if you are an Arsenal fan, but seriously try a little harder to be more realistic.

The Oracle

10 May 2012 04:08:37
I heard a rumor that we will go for Krasic. Serbia isnt in the Euro he will fly under the radar. Dont buy if no one is making an offer before the Euro and just wait for when his market exposure and value is down. Harry is smart, watch him wait til the latest possible time, if he does act. Also hopefully there is a new GK coming in. Lots of names bandied about. I just hope its not another guy 1-2years away from retirement.

Whats the Arry is smart bit ?? That smart that we will sit back and wait , then end up with f**k all again . Please Levy , keep him away from the transfers !!

With Birmingham not being promoted now
Would it be worth having a go for Redmond ? As he will be cheaper than had they come up surely ? And being stuck there for at least another year ? Would be a very good prospect and push Lennon ?

While Redmond might not exactly be Spurs material right now, but, if the price was right, I'd take him(>10m). Maybe a loan if he's not ready for the big show.

Heard the deal for Jan is close. Good stuff, onto the second more important matters. Like a Forward who can carry his weight in goals like Bost, Lewandowski?, Doumbia, Huntelaar, Yilmaz, and Cekulajevs(maybe not lol). Stats are there for a reason. They produce. Honestly I'd be happy with anybody can put the ball in the net, we produce enough chances. Just like Baarca pre-Etoo, Arsenal Post-Henry/Pre-RVP, Portugal, Spain PRe-Villa, etc. Go SPurs

I would absolutely love to see doumbia
My wish list is

Start with cb
As we really should be letting go of nelsen and Gallas .... Keeping king * how can you all hate on him ? * he's still got another year even with bum knees
Leaving us
Kaboul .. Dawson .. King and brining in Jan verghonten ... Really that leaves us 2 CBS not prone to injury ... I would be inclined to put caulker on a short loan back to maybe swansea again with the option to make it full season if by january we still have a full contingent of fit cb's * providing Swansea agree to this all * as we don't want him not getting game time and halting what looks to be fantastic progress

Onto midfield

Left side bale shouldn't be sold simple... Lennon is ok but needs pushing
I would like to see 1 of these
hoilett , Redmond , Zaha
Yes it all well and good saying hazard but the fact is until we get a new stadium we cannot compete with the monstrously rich
Chelsea man city etc ....
If we get him great I won't be unhappy but I'm not holding out hope
I'm not sure on the development of any of our youth wingers Such as Townsend so maybe 2 of those three would be more prudent ....
The centre of the park we are pretty awesome can't see much else to add there
...
Strikers
As much as I love Defoe I see him going
Ade I don't see dropping wage demands
Therefore a no go ... Saha going
So three strikers
Or two if you want to include vdv
Huntelaar with the chances we make he would be better than a 20 + striker we have been longing for I don't see how he couldn't do 25 +
And doumbia who is fast strong and knows the back of the net well
And then we have the youth coming through who can take over giving a rest for some cup runs etc giving others a rest

And a keeper I shoulda started with as everything seems out of order now ...
I can honestly say I'm stumped .... Any suggestions ? I'd love a younger freidel
But time travel out the questions
I'd be inclined to say loris but it sounds like I'm just following recent press with that one he just looks like a good Keeper watched a few games and wouldn't mind Hom there
I keep forgetting to tag my posts
So for the first post and this
Beat yid

I totally agree, redmond and hoilett would be fantastic additions, we have money to be raised by the sale of pienar and niko.
love them both but neither play well for us!

as for the striker situation we need 2 big guys, as im sure harry kane is going to be used next season, to ease him in.

keeper i would like to see ben foster great keeper potentially, and with a season as brads understudy would learn so much.

i also believe that a left back would be another great addition baines would be most welcome.

All good suggestions, although people should stop talking as if lloris is some ok keeper he is no.1 for France beating out other good keepers like mandanda and would probably cost over 20 million

Foster in goal.

Caulker back at the Lane

Ledley to ONLY play cup games with Caulker. We all love Ledley but it's plain to see he's very slow now and is not good enough for the premiership.

Vertonghen IN

Baines IN (I love BAE personality and his drag backs do put a smile on my face every time but Baines is just better at LB, simple.

Huntalaar upfront and VDV

Also buy Zaha who I rate as a great prospect. or even Victor Moses or both as they are friends!

Naz

09 May 2012 20:48:27
Jan Vertonghen is more or less confirmed, should be a Spurs player in the next few days. Adebayor, Hoilett and Damiao as well as Llloris to follow. COYS!

Sources please mate

I wish mate, what about wages??

He was at the Fulham game as a guest of the club. Confirmed on the Spurs webpage.

Do any of the eds know whether the january interest in milos krasic is likely to be followed up in the summer? {Ed002's Note - Juventus will be open to offers for Krasic and Joksimovic has been trying to get as many clubs as possible interested including Lazio, Liverpool and Spurs - and he has had success in gaining interest from Spurs. Lazio, Borussia Dortmund, Villarreal, Sevilla, Zenit St Petersburg, Fenerbahce and Anzhi Makhachkala have a confirmed interest in the player although I suspect Dortmund will drop their interest. There is at least one very influential person at Chelsea who very much likes the player and wishes to revisit earlier interest. Krasic has declared his interest in Manchester United and it is not completely out of the question that they may be interested in him. Fenerbahce strike me as the most likely destination for him right now.}

09 May 2012 09:51:13
Nani Set for a shock move to White Hart Lane for a fee of 29 million. He has fallen out with Ferguson and wants a quick get away! Source from the training ground!

Not worth half of that, far too in-and-out a player for Utd but then again they rotate him whereas he'd get more game time with us. Good signing but not £29mill worth.

Someone has been smoking the wacky!

Sure Messi is moving to luton

Love the way theres 8 disagrees and 0 agrees

Oracle forgot to sign off by the look of it.
theres more chance of platting p*ss than Nani moving to Spurs.

Happy to take the abuse for my own articles, but a little harsh putting ill informed cowards posts against my legendary name. For the record I always give ED my email address and always sign off my posts.

The Oracle

Also for the record, towards the end of the last transfer window you posted under a different name pretending to support 'the oracle' but where spotted and outed by the Ed's because of your IP address. So your not being entirely truthfull are you......

I wont be the only one to remember this episode, after all it had me laughing for days - and i bet a good few more of the other posters will remember it too and back me up.

Why do you do it to yourself oracle? Im sure deep down your a nice bloke (you are a fellow yod after all) and previously you've indecated just how long you've been a Spurs fan for - so we know that your not a silly little school boy. You must learn that people on here have long memories.

I hope you are right with some of your predictions, which I have said many times before -namely Diamio (spelling?). If your ramblings prove to be correct, I will be straight on here to congratulate you. Of that you have my word and many witnesses. But until then please just calm down, take a deep breath and think before posting your next chapter.
For example, feeling sorry for you in the past I have previously informed you that people might not be so quick to jump on the oracle bashing bandwagon if you where not so cocky and arrogant. Your 'Legendary' name is only legendary between your own ears my friend.

id like us to sign relistic targets vertogon, loris, hoilett, remi and affella forget robben, tevez, hazard, ade if we get the realistic targets and keep our best players we can push the manchester teams next season {Ed002's Note - In the future please put spaces after the commas of the posts may end up being deleted.}

*Vertonghen, *Lloris, *Remy, *Affellay?

Wikipedia seem to state Vertonghen has already signed a contract with Spurs, but I woulldn't go that far YET. Damiao and Adebayor are a must.

HAHA wikipeadia is balls, i could go on there now and change it to he has joined Stevenage. Ade and damiao a must? Don't think they are a must. Ade should go PSG and we should get someone who scores regularly 20+ a season. Ade costs to much for what he brings.

Spurs Lad

Hearing rumours that huntelaar wishes to leave schalke 04 in the summer and play in EPL. I feel we should try to sign him as he is in his best playing years a proven goalscorer and targetman, providing the missing piece to the puzzle of finishing the chances we consistanly create but nut finishing. COYS

Really dont want ade he only celebrates when he scores a goal f him

Huntelaar would be perfect for us, can score all kinds of goals, seems an intelligent forward what i've watched of him and keeps finding the net at all levels.

Vertonghen, Hazard & Damiao will all sign for Spurs provided they qualify for the Champions League.

Levy is currently finalising talks with Vertonghen's agent Ungeklart in a deal worth €12m around £10.5m. The deal for Hazard is trickier as Firsteleven ISM are trying to play 3 clubs in the Gazumping Market. Levy is currently ahead of the two other rivals with an offer of €22m Euro but it seems Lille want €27m Euro and Hazard wants to wait until Champions League status is agreed before signing a contract worth £70,500 per week. Lastly the deal for Damiao that has been floating for many months is nearing conclusion. Boavista Consulting GMBH have been playing the dangerous game of expressing interest and then demanding more each time. I feel Levy would have been better to offer £15m Sterling instead of increasing the offer piecemeal. Internaccional now believe they can get £20m for their star man, but it seems Levy is using Corporate pressure and club affiliation to grind out a deal at an amazingly discount price of £12.5m Sterling.

The signings are so important for us over the summer, but Levy is certain to offer total commitment to support a champions league campaign.

The Oracle

Wake up! We only have a chance of signing Vertonghen! Leandro has stated he wants to go to Italy and Hazard's agent has stated he is going to manchester!!

Stop posting bollox FFS!!

God bless ya Oracle you do make me smile, after all the stick you get you keep coming back for more. I do hope you're right though!
Mo

Sorry guys, I know he gets alot of stick, but I agree with the Oracle. I believe that Vertonghan and Damiao with both come. Unsure about Hazard but alot of this talk could be from the agents trying to get their player the best deal.

The Rabbit

I so Hope you get one right oracle and i hope its the 3 you have mentioned.

Three per window is it Oracle ?

Cahill, Damiao (again) and Olympic Stadium anyone.

Bore off knobhead

No joke just seen Vertonghen near London colney

I don't think there is any question that these three and for that matter Remy are on our wish list, nor that CL qualification is an important factor, nor that Internacional have constantly moved the goalposts on price, but I don't think anything is certain, though for sure CL qualification could prove a clincher on at least two of the deals

27 million euros for hazard who micky hazzard looking at 30million plus in pounds for eden,
he will be at city

Oracle please try watching football instead of the Matrix

Firstly I have to say I love you all becuase you are fellow Yoddos, and yes my last window prediction was not my finest hour. I gave you Cahill, Damiao and The Olympic Stadium which kind of destroyed the legend that I am. Well if only you knew the half about Cahill you would feel for me and realise how close he was to join Spurs, Damiao has been playing silly buggers for more money and it has started to backfire now so that deal is imminnent, and the good old Olympic Stadium which cost the tax payer an estimated total of £800m seems likely to go to West Ham. Well we know we lost Cahill, but trust me Damiao will join this summer. In addition if you honestly believe that THFC are going to invest £200m on a 56,000 stadium you are as barmy as some newpapers who are posting the future of the Olympic stadium as an athletics track with West Ham and their 20,000 attendance record. Spurs know they need the 80,00 capacity and also know that the waiting list for season tickets demonstrates the ease in which they could fill the venue. Sure the 2017 World Championship in Athletics was won on the foudation of the stadium, but the Spurs design business plans incorporated a retractable seating design as one of the options. Now the location in London has been won should the facilities be changed to a new state of the art athletics village in Crystal Palace, I am confident the athletic world governing body would agree.

Vertonghen will join very soon and whilst Eden Hazard has been rumoured to be going to Man City, Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, Juventus and even Luton Town, I am confident that Levy has already secured the deal in principle for Spurs. I accept that it looks unlikely if you read the press as does the Olympic Stadium but you wait and see.

Lastly I feel you are being slightly harsh and short of memory as I gave you Adebayor, Rafael Van Der Vaart, Kaboul and Defoes Return and even Luka Modric way before the press were talking about them. I recall very similar abuse then saying I was mad and why would a proven Croatian International choose us over the other clubs being touted, and that Kaboul and Defoe would never play for us again but they all did. When I gave you VDV you destroyed me and told me I was crazy, deluded and should stick to playing Football Manager on my Playstation. Well for the record I haven't got a Playstation and I am not deluded, but I would have to hold my hands up to being a little crazy.

The Oracle

OK Oracle; i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that i'm looking forward to the 3 signings!!

Ahh.... the THRUSH is back ! i am 100% certain that he stated he would never post on here again after being shown to be the fool/liar that the majority on here knew he was ! he really knows nothing gents, but feel free to waste your time reading his BS ramblings.

Ok fair enough we do give you enough abuse on here. I think we will all think twice IF the following happens.
Vertonghen (sorry about the spelling)
Damiao
Hazard (if we get the champions league place)
If and when by the sounds of your voice happen I will apologies for any abuse I have said in past posts.
Anyone agree?

I didn't find this site till last summer dont remember the Adebayor prediction ...
And wasn't here for the vdv , modric one if Infact you did or didn't
But the predictions I have seen have all fallen short with the exception kind of Damiao were a bid was placed and rejected
But I'm willing to forget those now and hope these predictions are true
Although if you've jinxed it now and
We don't get them I'll be annoyed
Bear yod

Haha, The Oracle is delusional!

PR!

^^^ But he does LOVE you.....

Levy is still willing to dish out a bit on one top quality striker. Still interested in Rossi, but apparently Pato is going to be the man, i don't think he's really lived up to the hype at milan to be honest

Pato has struggled not because he's a poor player simply that he's had a lot of injury problems which makes it unlikely Spurs would try for him even if Milan decided to sell.
Rossi broke down and sustained another injury so will be out some months so is also not a likely target

Do any of the eds know whether we are able to recall kyle naughton from norwich to play left back for the fulham game? {Ed002's Note - You cannot.}

Wot about this scenario. I think the ars 3rd. Us 4th. Chelski 5th. Geordie 6th. Then, the way RDM's luck has been goin at the chavs, I can see a German side finally losing on pens to an English one. When it finally happens I could always seeing it kicking us in the nuts. I have been on my paddy power acc placing a bet on this. Great odds. I think it is nailed on. I think chavs will beat scouse in the week. Then they only 2 behind. Such a great chance today. AV have won one in last 15 for ffs. I agree that HR has taken us as far as he can. And one good note about failing to get CL is that he will almost certainly be gone. I can't wait for the season to finally be over.
GL everyone. Have a good summer.

Chelsea can only finish 6th.

Know that now mate. Check date and league position when this was wrote

HARRY OUT! Im sorry but when we are dominating and need a goal in the 89th minute, you do not put on parker for VDV and leaving Defoe on the bench. He has lost it and if Modric or Adebayor is wearing a spurs shirt next season i will be so annoyed. King is going to retire and we need to buy early like arsenal and chelsea to get Vertonghen before the scum get him.

Spurs Lad (A must win Next week)

Thats why he did not get the England job

He is not very bright

So you fickle Spurs fans don't like Adebayor and Modric now; despite Modric being your best player and being offered £40m for him last year?
And you wont Harry out even though he is the reason you are where you are because of him; don't forget your a SMALL club destined for mid-table mediocracy, like always! It's not Harry's fault your club likes to get nervous and bottle your chances ;)
WE LOVE YOU ARSENAL! 3rd is ours :)
BR

We want Harry out just like you wanted Wenger out. A mid table team does not challenge for champions league? Modric plays with no passion and all he wants is money so let him go. Yer we bottle our chances but that why i support spurs. Harry has been good but he has lost it and therefore needs to go.

Spurs Lad

I didn't wont Wenger out, but other fans did because Arsenal are a big club and just champions league qualification isn't good enough .. but if spurs do equally as well as Arsenal you are over achieving.
You just can't compare the two teams its like chalk and cheese.
FOREVER IN OUR SHADOW
BR

Sorry Br but champions league qualification is all you do get . You are the tim henman of football , always there but not good enough to go the distance ,
Davo

Anything can still happen BR remember karma can bite you back. Gooners cant win at the moment unless it's against big teams they struggle against the smaller teams. WBA away will not be easy. Best if you wait before gloating just yet. Previously we have been at least 10 pts behind your lot in past seasons now it's 1 point and one goal. Thats progress 4th 5th and where ever we get this season. For spurs the future is bright for gooners the shadows are drawing over the emirates.

Shadows over the emirates lol at least we have a stadium and don't try to steal other peoples. Spuds done ok this season but only because the gooners and chelski been so bad. Better luck next year on Thursday night footie

06 May 2012 16:26:39
Just need to ask , is Redknap the most useless tactician in the premier league or just fu****g useless ? We are down to 10 men , we need a win , we have 2 CF on the bench , so he takes off VDV and puts on the most defensive midfielder he can find !! For f***s sake Harry , you dont owe these players anything , they play for the club ! why did you put Parker on , to boost his england chances . As a tactical manager , you are a joke ! You need to win , take off an attacker and put on a defensive midfielder , thats patched it up . What the hell must Defoe and saha think . It was harry who brought saha in , and he doesnt use him ! Even saha is better than Parker when we need to score ! All I got to say is , Levy get rid of Him . What with the England fiasco , and his tactical sense , he has cost this club big time !!!!
Davo

In response to your question davo,I would say yes,redknapp (that's with 2 p's) is the most useless tactician in the premier league,and yes he is f**king useless.

This is why he is at a second rate,never going to be big club like the spuds,he is perfect for you...I hope he stays for years!

I thought you were all saying how much you love him and that parker was a masterstroke of a signing not too long ago!

And please don't embarrass yourself again by saying ''all you gooners wanted Wenger out a while ago'' ..because that was just a few negative morons that post on the Arsenal page who have mostly vanished now things aren't so bad,not the general views of all genuine Arsenal fans.

Poor old spuds,always the bridesmaids.

LMAO

a VERY happy gooner

Parker was put on to secure the point,with sandro pushed forward.
defoe would have shot from every angle possible and been offside more times than not.
dont forget we were down to 10 men so needed security as well as a threat up front.
defoe would have have changed the shape of the side and possibly cost us the point we won.
i notice all the arses are gobbing off again,after removing their heads from their arses, after yesterdays disaster.
3 points at wba is certainly not a foregone conclusion so dont start the smugness yet.
i personally feel you must win there,which could be very difficult.
going gung ho would have looked stupid if villa had scored at the end

Parker on to secure a point !! I am spurs through and through and couldnt really give a sh**e what the gooners say , its all banter . But when a fellow spurs supporter agrees with what Redknapp did today , I have to start wondering if your name is either Harry or Jamie or Sandra . We were all over villa , we wanted 3 points not 1 , and at least Defoe would have had a shot , also as usual , harry makes his subs with 2 mins to go . For f***s sake was you watching a different game ! Harry has done all he can for this team , if we qualify for CL no way will it be down to Arry . He was ready to run to England as quick as possible and his loyalty is to himself . He is crap at tactics and tactical substitutions . He is a good man motivator , but thats the end of it . Perfect for England as he could have carried on playing his old team and chums but not for us any more . Bye bye Arry I hope !!
Davo

Come on davo me old mate,don't be harsh on your poor fellow spud.

He is only portraying that classic spud characteristic that when it comes to football,you spuds don't have a clue!

Also I am pretty sure his name isn't Harry because old twitchy doesn't know how to use computers (or phones)

LMAO

a VERY happy gooner

I think a lot of people have overlooked that putting Parker on was about allowing Modric, Bale and Sandro to keep pushing forward without having to constantly think of covering back
Just because a more defensive player comes on doesn't mean it's a defensive sub and to be honest the 10 men were doing all the attacking and it was only VDV picking up an injury that meant having to make a substitution. I think Harry made a decent call, of course JD or someone else could have come on and scored, but equally so could have Modric, Bale or Sandro with Parker on to allow them to get on with it.
It's still all to play for even if we aren't completely masters of our own destiny

Gooner putting twitchy as an insult shows that you Defintley are worthless cretin as we all thought i hope your in a car crash * which is how he got this *twitch as you put it *
I realise this probably won't get posted as its offensive but eds please sort out these people posting about his twitch its disgusting

You would all be crying if we bought defoe on and villa had got another lucky goal. we may think it was a negative substitution but harry was looking at next week still being able to get cl which would have been harder if we would have lost. stick with harry and judge him when the season ends

Maybe , but if defoe had come on and scored we would have been a lot f***ing happier . And as they couldnt get the ball out of their half , 4 mins to go , not much chance of them scoring . Anyway , it would have been an attacker coming on for a attacking midfielder , big deal !!
Davo

Well im not harry jamie or sandra.
i can just imagine the outcry if defoe had come on and villa nicked a late goal,denying us any points.
i agree hr is tactically inept at times,and his substitutions bemuse me at times,but parker provided assurance at the back ,allowing our attacking instincts to continue.
defoe is one of the most frustrating players i know,especially this season when his options have been limited.comes on late and has a point to prove,thereby he shoots from every angle and at every possible opportunity,which usually results in a goal kick for the opposition.....not ideal with minutes to go and us chasing a win.
i would have liked to have seen gio given time on the pitch,no theres a player with a point to prove.unfortunately,hes not going to be given the chance before he leaves.
as for the arses,i couldnt give a toss what those chappies post on our page,theyre more fickle than us.wait til rvp moves on,hes kept them in the top 6 this season single handed
bucks spur

I am totally amazed that Spurs fans are trying to justify Parker as some master tactical move. Sure he can hold the line but we were all over Villa with Van Der Caart on the field. We had a point that was worth nothing as we have superior goal difference to Newcastle, and therefore a loss would not have affected our standing. Even if you were looking at Arsenal they would have been 2 points clear, so provided we beat Villa and Arsenal drew or lost we would also have finished above Arsenal despite a loss a Villa. The only conclusion is Redknapp has not got a clue tactically, and he has proved this throughout the season. This was a game that we had to win, and the correct substitution would have been VDV and Adebayor off for Defoe & Saha, and Parker on for Sandro if fresh legs was the bane of the game. All this should have happened at 75 minutes not the dying seconds like so many other games this season.

As for you Gooners who are gloating after another great escape, how ironic will it be if you draw or even lose at The Hawthorns. Sure WBA are average at best, but they have already beaten Chelsea and taken point off Man City at home, and with Hodgson off to England I would be so certain that they don't turn in a positive one. So less of your smugness your pitiful swines

06 May 2012 11:29:27
If Harry Redknapp decides to play Parker tomorrow i'll go crazy. This 1 decision could cost him his Job at spurs though i'd love for Levy to just get rid anyway. Poor tactics, Poor team selection and has only started caring since the England job was given to Roy. Have you noticed that when he was strong favourite to get the job he was linking our Big dogs with a move away from WHL. Now that the jobs gone, hes back to sucking our Arses....Not good enough. I hope Levy doesnt get Conned again by that rat..........HARRY OUT.......HE HAS NO RESPECT FOR OUR CLUB.
