Rumours linking Willian as Modric's replacement are definitely wide of the mark. Why would we sign a winger (who can play as an attacking midfielder) to replace a deep-lying playmaker? I'm not saying Willian isn't a target but he belongs in the same category as Adam Johnson and Stephane Sessegnon who have also been linked as quality, versatile wide players. If rumours are to be believed the Modric replacement could be:
Dembele (Skillful, powerful, tidy with a good price tag)
Meireles (Solid but not in Modric's class)
Moutinho (Perfect, but very pricy)
Pjanic (Potential, very similar to Modric, but the sounds from his agent aren't good).

Spurs Guvnor I did not see that post that you say you posted their are other Ed's and they might have deleted if it was abusive.
I follow Spurs i am not a supporter as i support 2 other teams one being my local team Brentford and the other being a rival to Spurs and to avoid a debate i won't say it and no it's not Arsenal. I just post your rumours/banter and enjoy a joke with you guys i have never stated i was and never have mocked Spurs in anyway. That's all you need to know and i couldn't put your recent post up as it was "offensive" {Ed008's Note - This is me.

Ed are you a man city fan also if you are there not currently our rivals {Ed008's Note - Why do you want to know ? No i'm not.

Ed008 is probably a fulham or QPR supporter

Chelsea 100%

With all the main teams in the EPL having 3+ strikers, except US and Chelski, could we really be in pole position to sign a quality striker? I hope that we don't try for the same players (Damiao / Llorente) as we will lose. Also what about Sneijder as our CM replacement for Wan Miguel Modric..!!

We have to plan BIG to compete and not get left behind AGAIN...

I think we will get lewandowski

My opinion only, but with a little bit of cover now, it wouldn't surprise me if levy went for Rossi now.
I think they need to sell him after being relegated.

Isnt rossi ruled out till mid september {Ed008's Note - More next year... Favours a move to Italy though

African Nations this season, must have another striker in before the window shuts.

If ade plays and if his country qualify.

Adebayor retired from international footie

Wikipedia - Adebeyor subsequently returned to international duty in November 2011 following assurances from the Togo Football Federation regarding safety, making his comeback in a 1–0 win over Guinea-Bissau in a 2014 World Cup qualifier.

Why is everybody now praising and raving about DL, it only Ade, granted its better than nobody, but it is not the player everybody wanted, me included
I hope I'm wrong but give it 10-15 games and his toys will be well and truly out of pram and the windo will be shut and we will be back in this position once again, unless he signs another striker and quick

But at least things are looking a little brighter down at the Lane.

THFC4EVER

As already stated, adebeyor, apparently, is getting the no.25 shirt.
That still leaves 9 and 12 free.
There is plenty of no.9's out there available and one noticeable no.12 available.
I think one big buy is coming, only my opinion tho.

Who's the noticeable number 12 ? {Ed008's Note - I think he means Hulk...

I think I do mean hulk, I no there is not much chance getting him but while he is available, there is always that chance.

Wheres the oracle now

Does anyone know how long he signed for and what wages roughly??

How can someone disagree when it's only a question that is being asked. {Ed008's Note - It's the Gooners just ignore it.

Ideal Squad:

GK:
Lloris/Butland (13/10m)
Friedel
Cudicini

DF:

Walker RB
Naughton RB/LB
Kaboul CB
Caulker CB
Gallas CB
Vertonghen CB/LB
Fryers CB/LB (3m compensation)
Cissokho LB (8m)

MID:

Parker CDM
Sandro CDM
M'Vila CDM (11m)
Pjanic CM (12m)
Livermore CM
Sigurdsson ACM
Van Der Vaart ACM

FWD:

Lennon RW/LW
A. Johnson RW/LW (12m)
Bale RW/LW
Dos Santos RW/LW
Adebayor ST (8m inc. hefty singing on fee)
????? ST (insert Dzeko, Damiao,etc 25m)

Outs:

Gomes 2m
Corluka 5.5m
Bassong 4m (reported 2.5m w/ 1.5m add)
Dawson 7.5m
Assou Ekotto 8m
Huddlestone 6m
Jenas 2m
Bentley 2m
Krancjar 5.5m
Pienaar 4.5m
Modric 35m (reported 25m w/10m adds)
Defoe 7m

99m not including Palacios, Pav, etc

Ins would be around 90m too. But ignoring figures, which I admit are likely to be inaccurate, Spurs could build a quality squad and still break even in the transfer market. Figures aside, agree or disagree if you think the above squad could really challenge for a top 4 spot in the EPL...

Hass

Would be a great squad just cannot see us getting that many players signed before the transfer window shuts. Lee

BAE is not going anywhere, he has to improve, but he is quality

Wow!... Football manager stuff....and just about as real

My nan was spotted at villa park outscoring darren bent whilst redknapp was chuckling in amusement

Ok it's not about the big name it's about the right name that will make a difference.from last season we are 2 players short. Mod and adi was a huge hit 4 us.we didn't win rubbish or cl place. So I thought you keep the same squad add it by 2-3 players and move on the players who dnt make a different. Levy has done the total opposite. We are in a position now that we are replacing our best players. For years levys goal was cl and the extra cash it brought in. I think his ambition has gone and happy with a mid table club with good accounts.
Point 2 either keep the transfer window open all season long or close it at the start of the season.
Point 3 loan signing from premier clubs to prem clubs should stop
Mr g

Point 1 - As we are not in the CL for 2 seasons running, we have to cut costs.
Point 2 - The window is kept open until the European competitions require the squad lists.
Point 3 - I agree totally

Hardly levys fault models wants to leave for the second season. Give him credit for keeping him this long! Ade was on loan. So what is the stress about?

Glenn, Levy has had years of knowing our need for a striker. Also if Avb aint identified our targets yet then we are in trouble. More like every bid gets turned down cos Levy takes the **** with insultingly low bids.
I like many am becoming very frustrated and i expect real quality in before Sept otherwise Levy will think what happened to Alan Sugar was a picnic.
