Lightning / Oracle,

I dont see any of your predictions coming to fruition. I need cheering up today so could you enlighten me on the current situation as YOU see it?

I would be really intrigued as to which of your predictions come true and which alter ego is the better predictor...Also a rough idea when a deal may be completed.(Please don't say by the end of A transfer window some time in the next few years lol)

foxspur

Nice one foxie - but don't expect a reply from him, you know what he is like.

Foxspur, signings are definately round the corner mate!
Without sounding arogant I can pretty much confirm from my sources that there will be a minimum of 3 players coming In.

I can't put a name down for a keeper but I can confirm, whatever GK comes in....he will be of worldclass stature.

You've asked me for my opinion so please do laugh and belittle me when I tell you Hulk is a massive target for us. In the next few days this target that I've been telling you all for months will blossam.

Adebayor is practically a done deal....we've offered something good but city are holding out for something a little more.........literally 1m....balls in our court believe me.

Like I've said many times before. Luka will remain will us till January. This will ONLY change if Madrid sell Kaka and loan out Sahin. A price of 34m was agreed long ago.

Lightning {Ed001's Note - no mention of M'Vila?}

Haha Ed001 do you by chance think this glory hunting poster Lightning/Oracle could also be our very own Daniel Hanwell from the Liverpool Site?
Wouldn't be suprised...

Question from a Toooon fan.
whats your feelings towards Saturdays game?

Defence is good and midfied is good but goona struggle to score or win and hold up play with defo up front, so will prob draw as its stands, but if get ade or a big striker would be looking to get 3 points.

Dont understand why anyone would disagree with the original post, its a question not a statement

Defence is good? Have you been watching out pre season matches ? We haven't adjusted to the high line yet for the first few games we will get caught out ... Specially against Newcastle who have decent players
The midfield is always our strong point every Tom dick and Harry knows it ... And up front we are lacking badly dont be surprised to see Harry Kane on the bench and or coulibaly ....

Maybe because some Spurs Fans (not me) are worried?

Spurs Lad

Defence is not the issue. In Every one of our matches we have so blatently missed our creative midfielder Modric.
Can't replace him DONT sell him.... Simple.

Lightning

Cheers for replying!
will modric be playing? i think we'll beat you if i'm honest, quite comfortably. yes you beat us 5-0 last season, but you have AVB in charge. Cisse Ba BenArfa will have fun with your high line haha. my opinion

What about this Oribe Peralta guy looks like he knows how to find the net

Kind of old to be moving to europe for the first time

Where is 'the oracle'...
I drove down the tottenham high road this morning, if, as he says, we are nailed on for the Olympic stadium, well, then I'm a Dutchman.
There is loads of work going on there at the moment. I never realised so much land had been cleared.
Things seem to be coming on well with our new stadium in tottenham.
Forget the Olympic stadium oracle, like most of your 'itk', it's all just drivel.
Bet he takes credit for DAMAIO tho, if he signs.

COYS

He has tried taking credit for
Vdv ... Adebayor ... Vertonghen and siggurdsson the guy is a joke .....
But like I said in the past when he doesn't pretend to be itk he actually comes up with initellogent posts and comments....

Now it looks unlikely that we will not be getting his love child (Damiao) he'll disappear until someone else signs, then spend the following week crowing repatatively telling us he told us it first - even though we can all read and know that he didn't

We should go for carrol we have a completly diffrent playing stule to liverpool we have wingers and AVB likes a big man upfront hes 23 and we could get him for 14-16 mil one good season and hes a 30-35mil player again he looks powerfull and with better players around him will score for fun why are we not bidding for him, i no people will say what about hulk or damiao but nither have prem experience both would cost huge sums of money which levy wont pay and there just not going to happen, in my opinion carrol and sturridge would be perfect have we show any intret in the two of them this summer ?

When watching us against Valencia yes a big man we would have drawn or won the game I reckon ... But in the EPL it's harder even for big forwards to score as the hieghts reached by defenders here is a lot higher than Spain

I'll drive him down tomorrow

Puzzled

I was in amazement that we signed Gilfi and Jan quite quickly against the normal Spurs tradition of leaving it till the last minute BUT as it stands now we are still in DESPERATE need of a WORLD CLASS striker.

I have to wonder if its DL's stance on our very own Luka Modric that is holding up proceedings...

By this I mean that any potential targets are looking at our club and thinking Yes Spurs are a great side but regularly fail to live up to the hype and finish off with the goods, so therefore if I join and we win something then all is good, However if all ends as usual and Spurs fail again to deliver silverware, I will be held to RANSOM over a fee that no-one can afford.

Thus avoiding signing for our beloved club. So what do you think?

I honestly believe we need a MARQUEE signing and definitely before we kick a ball in our first game against the Magpies...

Hey Liverpool fan here. Can I ask what are your thoughts on Modric? Personally I think 30mil for him is good business, then buy Moutinho for 25mil. In my opinion Moutinho is a better player than Modric and would be a fantastic acquisition for you.
Any thoughts?
KiwiRed

2 problems. 1 Madrid haven't offered 30 million for him yet, or at least not all up front. 2, it would take a lot more than 25 million to sign moutinho, unless we sold lu,a for 35 we'd probably make a loss on the deal

Man u missed out on moura creative midfielder expect them to be looking at mountino/dembele while spurs p/b about a decent replacement may be hard to find
