Reportedly being interested 10 minutes before signature must be a new record for a club. Brilliant work by Levy, kept us all in suspense. In my opinion, a much cheaper option to Schneiderlain and someone who's work rate is second to none. But that leaves the club with 7 central midfield players, Holtby, Capoue, Dembele, Sandro, Eriksen, Paulinho and Stambouli, one would assume that at least one of these will move on with Sandro being the unlucky one due to him being third choice defensive midfielder. The addition of a another player also brings our squad size to (I think, no research done here) 28, which surely means that 3 players will depart in order to comply with the squad cap. If other targets are pursued we could see many faces out the door in these last couple of days. I fear Sandro and Holtby may be two of them.

Eds, could you explain in simpletons terms for me if you know what's going on with Fazio?
Sevilla claiming they haven't recieved a penny from La Liga yet and that he's therefore still a Sevilla player. Apparently their President has said we may end up paying more than the buyout clause.
{Ed002's Note - They will get the money which is held in ESCROW after Spurs confirm the medical is passed and everything is complete - that then goes from La Liga to his club.}
Correct me if I'm wrong ed but isn't this sort of thing just usual practice with the club just making a big deal out of it?
On the OS site, he has been given no21 and is available fir selection for Sunday. So I'd say spurs/levy know that everything is done and dusted.

I'm clearly hoping we get a good/great result at the weekend. The lads are already buying into the system the manager has introduced.
The lads confidence will go sky high if we can make amends for last seasons result against the pool.
Get behind the boys big time this weekend! be the 12th player. make W.H.L a fortress
C.O.Y.S.

Northeast Spurs - I couldn't agree more, i'd almost take beating Liverpool over Arsenal this season - almost - just because of how they embarrassed us last season (and a lot of my mates are pool fans - arrogant tw*ts at that).
There's been no drama's preseason, everyone looks happy, we're playing like team, we have a strong squad, I have to keep pinching myself as it feels like a dream - if we beat liverpool on sunday it will be a wet one!
COYS
Ha ha d00gie.
Starting to feel a little giddy. 2 PL Games in. :-)

Hi Eds, with all the first team transfers occurring do you know if Spurs signed the young Romanian lad (the name escapes me but was on the poll a fee weeks back) and the Ivorian Ineista, Musa Yahaya. There was numerous sources saying both had signed but there doesn't seem to have been any conformation from Spurs themselves. Thanks in advance for any information.
{Ed002's Note - I am pretty sure the court order is in place still that stops me answering questions about the under 18s. I guess others can help WB.}
Understandable ed002, wouldn't want the page to get into trouble
