I'm hearing a few rumours that Scott Parker is on his way to us, anybody else heard that? I mean as in really coming as a result of Diarra falling through, not usual link with him as in past year or two.

Finally we have made a signing, adebayor i personally think he will be awesome for us if his head is right cant wait to see how we play with him in our team, great addition

Defoe and ade up front. Or ade and vdv? Didn't ade and gallas have a massive falling out at arsenal?
Top 4 Wannabe
Agree0

Oo i dunno about that i think i would go ade and vdv, vdvv links up better with the midfeild and has more flair about him than defoe, but then again defoe always has being a better player player with another up front either would be great in my eyes and i dunno, if they did they need to act like men they are and move on in my opinion

Milos Krasic and Leandro Damiao

Pretty sure Joe cole will be one and the other will be a striker or Scott Parker
Agree0

Think it will be Abel hernandez, ever banega & Albiol
Agree0
Disagree0
It probably be scott parker and hopefully another striker, damiao or ruiz, not to bothered about getting a cb personally kaboul can step up to plate and once him and dawson has a few games to get used to each other great centre back pairing, and for cover we have gallas and bassong both great cbs, and wishful thinking but king also

Still think he's class just give him a decent run of games mate. Last night he didn't get much service at all but this time he kept trying mate. He will come good... Good support last night from the jambos but the WHL faithfull turned up at the lane. Keep the faith...
Agree0

I agree he is horrible all pre season he has being horrible even when he has being getting service for our best player like vdv and modric, would be bothered if we sold him, only postive is he could come on for last 20 mins as an impact player

Relax it was only a bunch of youngsters. It didnt mater what the result was the game was just to give them a run out
Agree0

What are you talking about,was a very young team,pressure was off,we were short of a striker,but now adebayor in with either ruiz or damiao to join him,that area now looking promising.plus we didnt play 1 first choice midfielder,so stop moaning mate
Agree0
Disagree0
Shut it you twit, everyone knows that that was a run out for the youngsters, I learnt something about them, we know that pav is useless along with bassong.
Agree0

Training game for some of the youth team, to be honest the youngsters i thought were outstanding, Townsend down the left was quick, Ryan Fredericks had a lot of pace down the right, Tom Carroll played a fantastic ball for Kane who also played a great game, some great prospects on show for the future Lets hope we keep them No complaints from me

If its taken u until tonight to see how bad seb and pav are i am not beingrude but suggest you get new specs as both to me have always been bloody terrible

Bassong is a poor defender ... Gives away the ball any chance he gets kaboul on the other hand should be paired with Dawson of the likes of king or Gallas arnt available ... As I think they will be a good future pair

Agree0

Too much ego from Levy and not enough practical planning.
Better to bank £30m a few weeks ago and have time to reinvest than play hardball until the death for £35m.
That money invested wisely in this window and 4th spot is a possiblity.
Leave it until January and things could be out of reach.
Keep a disillusioned player and have a restricted budget is a recipe for 6th spot.

According to SSN Joey Barton, despite having a medical for QPR, has said he is still undecided as to where his future will be. I could see a bid for him. He's a top player. Also, Ed what do you think will happen with Diarra? Is he likely to sign? and do we actually need him? (Personally I think Sandro is better) {Ed008's Note - I want Barton at Spurs! Diarra 50/50 trying to get more money out of us.

I would have joyey barten anyday,hes got balls and Passion we need at spurs
Free transfer its worth taking a chance.
Agree0

I know Joey Barton has passion y'all, but he's also a complete scumbag who loves nothing better than to resort to violence with his speciality being cigarette burns to the eyes. He could well cause one unmerciful split in the dressing room. Don't get me wrong, we need a player who would give his all to grab a game by the scruff of the neck and inspire the rest of the squad, a player like this is a rarity these days.
Agree0

25 Aug 2011 14:25:20
Well,it looks like adebayor is our marque signing,followed by parker.
according to hr,this strengthens the spine of the team.
can only hope that adebayor wants to play and doesnt cause unrest in the dressing room,as hes done elsewhere.
i still think joe cole will also end up at the lane.
so its the same targets as when the window opened bar adebayor.
i have a feeling that a deal will also be done to bring in the brazilian striker in january,similar to sandro.
players out will be palacios,crouch,hutton,gio and possibly bassong.
theres simply not enough time to finalise other deals i fear.
as for diarra,glad hes not coming if hes arguing about money.dont know why we need anyway,unless sandros injury is worse than we've been told?

Joe barton would make a great signing for us, yes he has had off field problems, but he never gives less than 100pc wish i could say the same for some of our other players, plus levy would not pay a transfer fee. good deal all round. still sell wilson and for crying out load get some bloody decent forwards with that money

Barton any day, strong agressive just what we need forget diarra save the money and get a quality striker and ffs let modders go please

The trouble Ed is that Diarra is not going to sign. {Ed008's Note - Looked certain beginning of the week, i think he will still sign expect something on deadline day we all know Harry like it ;)
Agree0

Diarra deal definitely seems dead so parker is next best thing i guess, most importantly he wouldnt take any time to settle in, plus he is the sort of "character" we need and harry wants

Would happily take parker,can score,win tackles and create chances,hes a bit better than average ed better than hudd for eg

Parker was an average player in the worst team in the PL, that's why he stood out. He won't offer us nothing but old age. I'm sorry mte but I think it'll be a mistake signing a 31 year old hasbeen who has never been able to hack it at the top level. Why do you think utd, city, Chelsea and arsenal haven't made bids.......I'll tell you hy because he's overated. Azza

Apparently Adebayor deal is done and we require 1 more striker, Forlan, Llorente, Ruiz and Damiao seem to be the only names being mentioned, here's a list of CF that i think would be perfect for Spurs and would surely jump at the chance, opinions please:
NEGREDO
CARDOZO
BARRIOS (CL with Dortmund so 50/50)
SOLDADO
HUNTELAAR
DI NATALE
ZARATE
JANKO
ODEMWINGIE
RODALLEGA
Believable4
Unbelievable9
Negredo won't move from Seville, don't rate Cardozo, Janko, Odemwingie or Rodallega, Barrios will stay at Dortmund for this years CL at least. Di Natale great player but 34 now I believe, Zarate hasn't scored much at Lazio and is reputedly quite a troublemaker
Huntelaar and Saldado wount be decent options as would Negredo if he ever decided to move, but the rest are not good enough or unlikely imo
Agree0
Disagree0
Only 1 from that list i would snap up is negredo.adebayor is the type of striker we need.so negredo fits that bill.if you play 1 striker,you need them to be as strong as a centre half,unlike crouch and defoe.di natale class,but 34.
Agree0
Disagree0
Negredo - wont move
Cardoozo - not good enough
Soldado - over rated
Huntelaar - snubbed us before
Di Natale - class act (shame about his age though)
Zarate - not good enough
Odemwingie - potential but just signed a new contract
Rodallega - over rated

It amazes me that some of you think Levy is telling the truth about Modric.
Do you understand the concept of 'negotiation' ?
He will get top $ and pocket most of it on the last day
Agree0
Disagree0
If Levy leaves the Modric deal until the last day...then the bloke is an person Just like when we lost Berba & Keane with no suitable replacements. I dont think Levy will make the same mistake twice unless he has a massive signing to replace Modric - which currently seems highly unlikely. In Levy I trust one final time. Hope he gets it right

Alright Ed I am a first time poster on the tottenham page on this website. I do post on the Rangers page too as I am from north of the border and support both rangers and the yids.
From what I'm hearing and can make out up here, by the end of the transfer window expect to see at least 3, possibly 4 new faces in the door.
Adebayor and Diarra are all but done guys, will be confirmed by Monday at the very latest, expect renewed interest in a certain Scott Parker very soon from harry and also a possible move for Joe Cole, however we will only go for Joe if we can't get Scott on a permanent deal.
As for the 4th signing I am hearing that Harry is weighing up his options between 3 men, Damiao, Ruiz and Forlan. He is looking for a striker on a permanent deal and is considering a swoop for Forlan due to cut price on him. Reports that his deal to Inter is complete are so far wide of the mark, however if a late swoop for Forlan fails, then harry will turn his attention and enquire about the availability of Ruiz and Damiao. Also expect Modric to stay until at least january, he is going no-where in this transfer market.

I've spent all summer hoping we don't sign parker. if your post is correct i now hope we do, cole would be a massive waste of a squad space. think forlan would flop also.
Agree0

First believable post I have seen in ages. Although I don't think we need Parker or cole. And would definitely go for Damiao out of those strikers
Agree0
Disagree0
Diarra is being quoted on Spanish websites as saying there is no deal with Tottenham
Agree0
Disagree0
Cheers for not shooting me down boys, that's what i was expecting, i have heard these rumours through a couple of sources up here who are never far off with things for spurs, I have just heard sky sports quote what Diarra is saying, my sources are telling me not to worry, Diarra is using it as a smoke screen in spain, says it will still be done.
As for Forlan flopping, I dont think he would, he knows where the goal is and is available for about 5 million pound. Although I agree witht the secong post, I want Damiao. And for the 1st post, i think Parker would do well for us, as for Cole, I agree, no thanks.
Agree0

Forlan is off to Inter Milan. Another trick missed by our esteemed Manager HR Same old, same old - come 1st September our only major signing will be BAD ADE Where has all the money gone from Champions league and Keane JOH sales?
Agree0

Ok boys, no late swoop for forlan, he completed his inter move too quickly, bad dealing from HR there im afraid, well time for us to check for the availabililty of Ruiz and Damiao then, watch boys, just watch {Ed008's Note - He went to Inter for around 6-8 Million are you joking Levy why didn't you sign him ???? This has really pissed me off.
Agree0
Disagree0
I agree ED completely, when my sources told me HR was planning a late swoop i fancied our chances due to the cut price but not to be, Damiao is the one i hope for now however my sources are saying if we dont get a move on qiuckly then we may not get either of Damiao or Ruiz. My patience is wearing thin
Agree0
Disagree0
Skysports says Forlan is a "possible" replacement for Eto, nothing says he has signed for them
Agree0
Disagree0
There we go boys, Adebayor in. As for Silva, i never seen that one coming. Parker is heating up as I said it would, and reports are lingering that Redknapp has put in another bid for Damiao. As i said, ignore whats happening with Diarra, he WILL be a spurs player by the end of this transfer window, and did I not say Modric was going no-where? Next minute- he is starting on sunday and the transfer saga is "finished".
Agree0
Disagree0
Levy is confident of signing Diarra and spurs are "in talks" over scott parker, all we need now is Damiao and i have been spot on, keep the faith boys, we are finishing 4th and getting champions league again this season
