Where is the proof re Adebayor and what news on Diarra. . . my gut feeling is Ruiz will sign now Twente are out of the Champions League - not worth quite as much now

Believable7 Unbelievable1

Ruiz may not be worth as much noe bt at least he WANTS to join SPURS and stated that FACT prior to any result.. I for one watched him tonight and he looked like he was trying to prove a point. He never stopped working even after being 3-0 down so I hope we do sign him

^^ i agree hope we sign him

Agree0 Disagree0

I suppose it's not as much of an issue, but I assume that would Ruiz be cup-tied?

Agree0 Disagree0

Steve Mclaren said he has a 15m euro buy out clause good player imo but not what we need right now

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't shoot me down but I don't think he is cup tied as they never qualified for CL and as it was a qualification game he could play for another club in the EL. I'm sure the ed's can correct me if i'm wrong {Ed008's Note - I think he would be cup-tied for Group Stages for Europa League (if Hearts don't beat us 6-0 tonight) but he would be available for the knock-out round in February if he SIGNED for us.Their's a rule for European Competitions that allow 1 player to be registered if they were cup-tied beforehand (Eg Chelsea in CL when it was knock-out round could only pick Torres or David Luiz as both had played in Europe Chelsea picked Torres) Hope i cleared it up for you guys.
I don't rate Ruiz i think Adebayor can do the job for us all season.
Spurs vs Hearts ITV4 Tonight unless your off to White Hart Lane :D

Agree0 Disagree0

Cheers ed.. and yes mate im off to the game cant wait to see the young hopefulls play, rumour has it Kane is starting tonight?
As you said about Ruiz he did really well last night, never stopped chasing the ball even at 3-0 down. That or me changed my opinion of him. Seems he could make a big difference for us up front, by that I mean if he loses the ball, he WILL try to win it back

I heard Damaio could only join in Jan transfer window; as their president has stated they will keep him to the end of the year. Any fact in this Ed? {Ed008's Note - Anything can happen but why sign a new contract only to leave your club 6 months later ? Care to explain ?

Believable3 Unbelievable5

Same reason modric signed a contract only a year ago and wants to leave. Players are greedy end of.

Agree0 Disagree0

You right but we are also getting diarra and barton,samba,cahill.forlan is a 50%50 deal

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2011 20:54:58
Levy did not bid enough to sign the player - Damaio's club got him to resign so they could adjust his contract to strengthen their position. Ultimately - he will cost Spurs alot more now

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed, I'm not sure that I fully understand your logic, in other countries players will happily sign new contracts solely to aid the financial position of their clubs in transfer negotiations based on the promise of a deal being done at a pre determined price. This is most common in South America, where players only leave because of the financial and worldwide recognition.

Agree0 Disagree0

I would pay now and get in jan, similar to sandro deal would rather get him for definate in jan than not at all.

Agree0 Disagree0

Falcao just did it, why can't he?

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2011 17:19:35
Looks like we're looking at Forlan and Damiao again

Everybody there should be pictures of Ade at the Spurs lodge on spurs sightings with BAE

Folgate

Believable6 Unbelievable3

Expect the SIGNING of ADE on monday as it will be the permanent signing not loan signing. Hence the long drawn out saga as Citeh don't want him to play against them....

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2011 10:07:16
Wow what a signing. Adebayor this is really exciting news. LOL. Were's the quality signings Harry promised Modric to show the clubs ambition. What a joke. No wonder he still wants to leave. And as for Kaka absolutely no way. Why would he want to play Europa League football over champions league.

Believable8 Unbelievable5

None of these superstars will come due to wage cap, spurs dont have alot of cash as b4

Agree0 Disagree0

That's not strictly true, Spurs still do have cash but not to splash around on stupidly high wages.

Agree0 Disagree0

Adebayor is a great signing for us Some people need a reality check.

Agree0 Disagree0

Kaka won't even get a chance to play on cl as he don't get a sniff so I think Europa league is better than bench warming

Agree0 Disagree0

Either your from a different club posting s**te ...
Or your a very pessimistic fan ...
I for one honestly believe Adebayor can do well for us ...
However on loan rather than permanent basis with a look To buy ... As I think as soon as he was getting a guaranteed 3 year so much wages etc he just wouldn't try .. Short term contracts are the move for this guy ...
But seriously have faith guys
Bear yid {Ed008's Note - Adebayor is a quality signing guarentee's you goals more than Defoe,Pav,Crouch goalscoring record is good.

Agree0 Disagree0

Kaka on way to the scum, unfortunately

Quite an exciting one guys, kaka will be coming it's just unclear as to whether it's on loan or a straight sale. Madrid are interested in a couple of our players it is also unknown as to whether any deals will be strikes over this; bale and ekotto the main too.

If this happens and mod is still being an arse we might send him on loan to chelsea

Believable2 Unbelievable14

Why would Real want Ekotto, they've just bought Coentrao and have Marcelo, sounds very unlikely

Agree0 Disagree0

LeArse just had a loan bid rejected for Kaka We cant compete with his £153k reputed weekly wage. No goer i'm afraid

Agree0 Disagree0

Just read The Mirror news paper exclusive t exclusive on website Adebayor has joined on loan but is unable to play sunday??

Believable8 Unbelievable4

Assuming the completion of the loan is true, he cannot play against his parent club - hence he wouldn't be available

Agree0 Disagree0

Adebayor can't play against his owning side.

Modric to chelski for £32 million cash. Also ed whats the hold up with adebayor and particularly Diarra? I thought they would have signed by now {Ed001's Note - these things take time, especially when one party is desperately hoping a better offer will come along if they drag things out.}

Believable1 Unbelievable8

I assume its adebayor draging things {Ed001's Note - no, City. They would rather get rid altogether than pay part of his wages to go somewhere.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Its due to him signing on a permanent basis not on loan. Citeh don't want him to play against them so the deal will be done and announced on monday Large signing on fee £8mill to drop his wage to £85K p/w...

Agree0 Disagree0

Bet this is being dragged out so they can announce thurs and get people to the game

Agree0 Disagree0
