I'd just like to clear up what will most likely have happened by 11pm on Monday

In out
Lamela 26m. Bale. 85m
Soldado 26m Dempsey 6m
Paulinho. 17m. Huddlestone. 5.5m
Chiriches. 7m. Parker. 2.5m
Chadli 7m. Total. 99m
Capoue. 9m
Erikson. 12m
Total. 104m

If all of those deals go through, we will have one of, if not, the best squads in the league. Obviously, Bale was immense for us last year and it is sad to see us lose our top players on a regular basis. I believe, however, that the sale of Bale could be the best thing to happen to Spurs in years. We should be making top 4 at least this season now, and that will only attract more players. Next season, why shouldn't we challenge for more.

So much paper talk and no quotes from Bale. I, for one, say thank you and wish him well. I hope he succeeds at Madrid but he will not be top dog anymore. Will be interesting to see how he develops.

I think Levy deserves a lot of credit for the way he runs the club, and Baldini was a genius move.

Cannot wait to see what other business we do, and what this season will bring. COYS!

Also out - Caulker. 8.5m

Agree9 Disagree3

Lamela is still waiting to have a medical, and we all know how that went w/r/t Willian, so be careful. And Ajax is still very far from getting what they value Eriksen as, so be even more careful.

Agree4 Disagree4

You forgot caulker

Agree1 Disagree3

Don't forget caulker for 8.5 million. We'll be in profit again :)

Agree1 Disagree2

Your forgetting Caulker. Also I think we got more for Dempsey & Parker.

Agree2 Disagree2

If contreao comes as part of the bale deal expect ekotto to be sold also so more profit plus goalkeeper gomes could go for a few million. would like to see another striker in and adebayor out and a defender who can play centre back and right back for cover for walker

Agree2 Disagree3

I think Benny has failed his medical in France and is probably staying.

Agree2 Disagree1

This transfer window is an absolute dream. Normally we are linked with loads of young world class players at the start of the window and end up with a bunch of quite good older players ( ade, parker, Dempsey.) But this season we as been amazing! I can't believe the sale of bale will bankroll half of a world class team. I love bale but I think the best thing he will have done for spurs is leave! Can't see any way we finish outside the top 4 now.

Agree3 Disagree1

I disagree I think even if all them players signed for you chelsea Man U and city will still have better squad

Agree3 Disagree3

I think with the team you have now big enough to play in the Europa league and the EPL you will finish 4th win the Europa and maybe even the league cup which will be an amazing season for you guys then build on it next season

Agree2 Disagree1

I don't see it personally its a massively improved squad but things will take time. A few signings don't automatically make them world beaters.

Agree2 Disagree2

Some people are just haters spurs have an excellent squad now an still adding quality players an I think its a good thing for the BPL because it makes it stronger I'd say only man c an Chelsea have a better squad at then them at the moment but a lot can happen in a few days. Good luck guys I'm looking forward at watching you on MOTD this season.

Also I think Chelsea lost out when they let AVB go he may just come back an bite you on the rear end.

Heard you lot could get Eriksen for about £10-12m. Absolute steal for that price, unbelievable talent and people forget he's only 21.

Believable5 Unbelievable3

Yes along with a couple of other top signings. person Army!

Agree1 Disagree2

From a Liverpool supporter, so envious fair play to ya what a squad.

Christian Erikson has been given permission to hold talks with spurs.
What an unbelievably good side we have started to put together here!

Believable7 Unbelievable4

Hold your horses. He is a key player for Ajax and is always in the starting line up. At Spurs he is bound to be a regular yes, but he is going to have to share his role with others on a slight rotation basis. He may not fancy being thrown on to the subs bench when he could be elsewhere getting more game time. I really hope he goes for it and I don't see why not. I'm not the manager so I could be totally wrong. Competition is good for that position he plays but he might not like the being on the side that much.

Fingers cross boys.

But besides me saying all that. You are right Gardner, what a talented side is being built!

Agree2 Disagree1

I'm an lfc fan and all I can say is great work in the transfer window I was wondering how you would replace bale but wow I'm shocked to say the least some good players with potential to get better baldini has been a top top appointment and once the bale deal goes through to be in credit even with your signings good buisness I think once they all bed in only way is up for you guys good luck for sunday

Lamela confirmed!
roma have announced it on their official website

Believable7 Unbelievable1

Yeah deal looks to be agreed its on Roma official site and Bale will be gone but maybe later than people expect could be last day deal according to some reports, but I think it will be announced in next 24 hrs myself. Ed any other news on any more players?

Agree1 Disagree1

Lamela and chiriches to sign tomorrow and I read that marc overmars has said we have permission to speak to erikson after levy and the godfather baldini where in amsterdam today. sunday should be very fun

Agree2 Disagree1

How come the Lamela deal isn't on spurs official site? It's on Roma's

I seriously can't believe this transfer season I have to keep pinching myself.

How come we are able to get these amazing players without champions league.

They all must realise spurs meen business.

Absolutely bloody brilliant. Erickson and clad next. Lol we have almost signed a whole new team. COYS

Agree0 Disagree0

That was ment to be vlad iPhone re-spelt it. Lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Showing the gunners how its done and they got champions league

Agree2 Disagree0

You can't always buy success I think this year will prove it, all your new players are untried and tested in the premier league, so I wouldn't start counting my chickens if I were you, at least see how they perform first .spurs are a bit like a teenager with there new girlfriend all excited but as usual they suffer from premature ejaculation when it comes to finishing the job .still think this year will be the same.

Any truth in the Banega rumours ed? {Ed008's Note - Another attacking midfielder? Theirs plenty at the club already and more joining unlikely the other target is Eriksen.

Believable1 Unbelievable3

I wouldn't say it's unlikely to bring in another attacking midfielder. Spurs biggest need right now is a number 10, a creative, final pass maker, in the vein of Modric or Mata.
I think that person will be Eriksen, as he'll be the best option for the price bracket he's in. There's not much point spending £30m+ on Mata, when Eriksen is likely to be £15-£20m in my opinion.

Chiriches is on the verge of signing and has been quoted as confirming this himself earlier today.

I suspect Spurs will either announce Lamela tomorrow and then Chiriches on Friday, or hold off and announce them together by the end of the week.

I'd bet on Eriksen joining too before the deadline, although not sure when he'll be announced, depends on how long negotiations take I'd imagine.

Maybe a last signing on deadline day too, I wouldn't be surprised, whether that's Coentrao or someone else, but once Eriksen and Lamela are confirmed I don't imagine we'll bring in any more midfielders.

That said, we may also settle on deadline day this year and not worry about any further purchases if we get Chiriches, Lamela and Eriksen before then. Especially since Vertonghen and Benny are still available at LB to cover Rose if the need arises.

£7mil offer for eriksen turned down by Ajax apparently. What a disgraceful offer! surprised they haven't told us to not come back! Just a rumour but does anyone know if there's any truth in this?

Believable1 Unbelievable3

Eriksen is a play spurs interested in especially after we missed out on Willian to Chelsea. Guess if we up our offer we should have good chance of him signing. lamela is about to sign too

Agree1 Disagree1

Good! I just think the apparent offer for eriksen is awful! he's worth at least double the amount reported!

Agree3 Disagree2

He is in the last year of his contract. Ajax know he won't sign a new contract so will accept a lower offer. I agree that our opening offer is low. But it isn't going to take a huge amount more to prize him away

Agree1 Disagree1

If this were true, it would be disgracfull. eriksen is a very hight profile player and deserves a much better offer, but I doubt an offer has been made, and I recall his agent saying he will only join a team in the champions league, but hopefully, with what's happening to tottenham at the moment, it should be a good enough reason to persuade him to join!

Agree0 Disagree1

I can see eriksen been a Tottenham player before transfer window closes as well. Probs happen straight after Bale goes to Madrid

Agree0 Disagree1

Cant say I believe the ericksen bid was to low, what was rd first offer for gareth, accordingly to latest reports we have been given permission to open talks with him, its all about who out foxes who, after carrick berba and others, we are just doing what other clubs do, best players for best prices. barb
