Daniel Levy is about to put every single doubter to shame over the summer, and Franco Baldini will have his chance to redeem his purchases.

Firstly we all know that Louis Van Gaal is coming to take over the helm. Sherwood will be sacked at the end of the season, and Van Gall will begin the massive rebuilding plans.

Firstly Roberto Soldado will be used as a play weight with Athletico Madrid for Diego Costa. Levy will obvious try the straight swap, but expect Soldado + £15m to be nearer the mark.

Next we will see Lamela traded in a straight swap for Mario Balotelli. With both valued around £28m which on paper sound fair, but Lamela is out of form and Balotelli is on fire. However Lamela has real pedigree in La Liga with Roma, and Balotelli has had his usual disagreements with the club.

Then we will see Gomes released and wait for it Lloris sold for £30m to PSG. In will come Stekelenburg from Fulham for £8m.

I have my hard hat on so let me have it!

Of course all of the above is inside info, which by some sheer coincidence has also featured in some of the national rags during the last week.

Mm interesting I'm still waiting on the official announcement of the signing of the young keeper you said was 100% done in January. Given that I haven't seen anything about that or anything else you claim to know why should I believe a word of this?

As much as I'm sure "The Oracle" is complete bull***t. I can actually see some of this happening.

I believe it all depends on where we finish in the league. But I do believe Tim will go and manage somewhere in the football league, and Van Gaal/De Boer will come to Spurs.

I do however disagree with Robby leaving. Imagine had we sold Bale to Birmingham when he was playing bad? I believe Robby will come good in a Spurs shirt. All he needs is two wingers played on natural sides for service, and a bit of luck in front of goal.

I am one who absolutely loves Balotelli. but I personally feel that he'll think leaving Milan for Spurs as a "step down", so cannot see it happening. Plus I'd hate to imagine what his wages are like.

Thirdly, Costa won't come. He'll go to Chelsea, who I can see offloading Torres and/or Eto'o this summer.

As for Lamela, your guess is as good as mine. I'd love for him to succeed. However, with a £30m+ pricetag, he will have to do it quickly otherwise he will be shipped off. I feel for him. He's young with a huge tag above his name. It's not really fair, but let's hope he starts getting some games and produces good performances ready for next season!

Same with Lloris, not sure. He want's CL, we all know that. I personally feel that the MASSIVE game that will decide the top 4 is Spurs v Arsenal. The winner of that game will be in the top 4. I can't see Chelsea, City nor Liverpool slipping away now. But with Arsenal's fixture list, I can see tham slipping.

{Ed002's Note - (1) Spurs are looking to replace Sherwood and Van Gaal is first choice and likely to happen. (2) Soldado might well be replaced but I agree, it will not be by Costa. (3) Like you I don't see Balotelli arriving - but I do see Lamela leaving I am afraid. (4) Eto'o is out of contract in the summer and will leave, as will Ba, probably Torres and right now Lukaku (although his situation might change still). (5) I am not so sure Lloris will leave in the summer - but it will be a summer that see plenty of goalkeepers moving all across Europe.}

Even a broken clock is right twice a day . which is two times more than Oracle.

ED 2, Spot on.

The Oracle,

Did you said, Atheltico values Soldado a 30 year old vetran at 20 mill? and Costa would come without CL?
lamela with Balletolli, Dream on mate, he would make Joe barton a Priest.

{Ed002's Note - You need to sign in.}

To the no namer,

I think you'll find Soldado is 28 and at his prime, although your right costa won't be coming to the lane.

Well I am glad most of you agreed with me, and those who didn't exposed themselves with incorrect facts like the age of Soldado.

Balotelli crying on the bench against Napoli is a clear sign how much racism in Italy is getting to him.

For the sarcastic Olympic stadium jibe, I would ask you to look at their balance sheet. £71m in debt which is secured on Upton Park, Galliard Group looking to redevelop into residential homes, and a £15m single payment for the Olympic Stadium. Sorry for stating the obvious, but do you think the banks will allow this to roll over unsecured? If not, where is the money coming from in 18 months?
