Where did you read this? i'd like to check it out as I can only see stuff saying that he might need surgery but after an injection he could be good for wednesday.

Just heard only rumours 1. Spurs to offer for Nagredo. i'd say that's 50/50 and sounds realistic. 2. Damiao according to reports in Brazil we have put in a 20 mill bid i'd say that's 30/70 going to happen. And Defoe is not out and back for Norwich match.
Agree0

Can't believe what I just read on tv Sport. Tottenham to make a late swoop on damiao. Deal likely to be done by Thursday. If we do miss out we will make a play for. Negredo.
Could the Oracle finally be right?
Next thing you know hell will freeze over and pigs will fly!
Defoe out is a massive blow but damiao up front would be brilliant.
I for one hope it happens.

Right.........just had some brilliant news brought to me by a friend that has been situated in Germany for the past year.
It's pretty laughable actually!
He has pretty much told me to forget about spurs raiding a cash strapped LaLiga for strikers because that is too obvious. Levy has already struck a deal for a young german superstar.
Thomas Muller will sign in The next few days for a fee of 16m. Will be given the number 9.
If this doesn't happen I deserve all the stick in the world for the constant postage. I already told you guys about Holtby which was obvious to all of us but now I've put my neck on the line with this news.
Levy wants to bring the german Fever back to the lane.
Watch this space my yiddos.
The Channeller Vs The Oracle.
Thomas Muller vs Damaio.

Thomas muller will cost a lot more than 16k more like 30k so no way levy will pay that

Love the goss but mate your kooko
Muller is playing in the 3 up top and keeping the likes of robben and Gomes on the bench.... So.... No go

Can't see that being the case at all...Unless, of course, there's been a drastic unexpected change in forward planning at Bayern Munich...Thomas Muller signed a contract extension until 2017 just before Xmas.
'61 Kid
Agree2

You're right, it is laughable. Thomas Muller was on record suggesting that he did not fancy any other club other than Bayern and is contracted till 2017. 16M to prise away someone who is as quality as him is something that makes me scratch my head. They would start negotiations at a higher price, surely?
Agree2
Disagree1
61 kid, that was before Pep got the job. According to my mate, bayern are looking to generate money for pep to use once he arrives at the end of the season.
Pep wants to bring in 3/4 of his own players to make Bayern into a real force. Muller is not part of his long term plans.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Wycombe spur,
I did indeed say that but Valencia want too much for the 28 year old.
I was almost confident this was a done deal.
The number 9 shirt will now be warn by a young, hungry, athletic striker
I believe it could be out of muller or Damaio.
The Channeller.
Agree0
Disagree2
Just to add to my last post....
Defoe 29, Adebayor 28, Dempsey 29....
If Levy continues his way of working then the surely the next striker coming in will be young and have a resale value.
If this is the case then it rules out Saldado 27 and Negrado 27......
What do you guys think???
The Channeller.

To the brave Annonymous poster who posted under 61 kid, the price of VdV and sneijders price made my head itch too. Infact so did Michu's, Demba Ba and Hugo Lloris.
Before he signed a contract ext at bayern he was quoted saying he is prepared to leave bayern. Footballs a funny old game son.
Thomas Muller the new Jurgen?

Its all BS. You and Oracle actually believe what you are writing. I know it is a rumour site but lets try and keep to believable rumours.
Having said the above I do actually quite like reading your's and Oracle's ITK stuff. It is amusing : ))

The Oracle has been quiet, I think he must be preparing a long post! Wouldn't it be funny if he was right about Damiao just when Channeller give him some competeition on the rumours front. The irony!!

Muller is not a striker, he has a decent goal record and a decent assist record, but he's more am or plays wider and at 23 a top player, one that Bayern won't sell, much less for 16 mill, really this is not going to happen
Agree0
Disagree1
I think its very interesting and we will all find out soon.
I thought muller played behind the striker but then I don't really see Bayern play often so don't know.
At least you have something that no one else has mentioned or been reported.
Time will tell.

Stop all this "i gave you, my source said" nonsense, when the info has been posted across the net for weeks and week.
its just self inflating ego attention seeking rubbish....sad really.
for the record, holtby was secured ages ago, admitally for a summer move, but it doesn't take a genius to latch onto the fact that he could move early for a small fee, especially when sandro was crocked.
i believe a striker will be signed now that its common knowledge that defoe has been carrying an injury, but I havnt a clue who.......just like everybody else !
and there may be a surprise, similar to the vdv deal, if someone becomes available under the same circumstances, but don't hold your breath !

The other transfers mentioned by the Flanneller all have logical reasons as to why they were underpriced for the players involved, do the research and you'll also know why. Surely, the position of Bayern as a selling club is strengthened by the player signing a new contract? I do hope you are correct but I find it a strange transfer for Bayern to entertain when they have many fronts to challenge on between now and the time Pep takes over.
Agree0
Disagree0
My views have always been months before they are even in the press, and when Damiao finally joins the longer standing readers will know I gave it before the press even knew who he was. The Chaneller just writes obvious 'non risky' things and is a fake of the real arrogant self assured deluded fool that is me.

Just a striker Daniel and maybe Diame for cover then we can push on.

Like I said in previous posts, Levy will make 1 final bid for damaio but will not exceed the 18/20m pound mark.
And
Muller is not in Peps plans. They are willing to listen to offers for him.
Let's just wait and see shall we.
The Channeller.
P.s it will not be both.

As mentioned above by chappers, its reported that he's not even moving to london until the weekend, so its very unlikely we'll see him until after the weekend

Absolutely no chance, even if they are skint.
Agree2

According to reports in Spain he has had a change of heart on a move to England only if it was a big club that was after him.
............
Due to the exclusion of Damaio in the brazil squad, the player himself has admitted it may be time for him to leave inter to enhance his chances if making the squad in the future.
Levy will now have final negotiations with inter......
Despite all this I still believe in my source. It wasn't rocket science with Holtby but he is 100% certain a striker from La Liga is on his way.
As for Diame, he is not Tottenham bound. He could be on his way to Arsenal.
The Channeller.

Soldado nill chance; Negredo small chance

Channeller,
If your source has said someone from LA liga why do you post as if soldado is a cert?
You have made posts that you know, are you saying now that you don't actually know?
Marc

Marc all I know is spurs will 100% be bringing in a striker.
I can't deny I thought saldado was a cert but valencia want to much money for him.

Do not take my word about this but I have been told by my brother in law who is a massive porto fan that we are in talks with porto about signing their striker jackson martinnez(spelling). he is only 20 and is much better then what we already have at the club, he is a typical levy signing, young, exciting and whos value will only get higher and higher. the fee is likley to be between 12-15m

He's not 20 he's 26 think you've got your facts wrong there

Jackson Martinez is 26 and a Falcao clone. Absolute class. 18 goals in 22 games this season. Buyout is around 40m, I think. Plus with Porto in the Champs League he is going NOWHERE.

We have finally agreed a fee for holtby to join in January thank god all we need now is a striker not hooper a world class striker like negredo or an up and coming one like vydra only 20 scored 18 goals for Watford so far this season then champs league is ours.

why have we not bid for Negrado from Sevilla? With their debts, now taken on by local council, you would think a decent bid will secure a world class striker. And god do we need one. COYS!

Vydras has bassicaly signed on a permenant for watford in the last couple of hours so we won't be getting him.

Hi all
Holtby will sign by Thursday! Also one striker is definately coming in because it is a necessity and both Avb and levy are denying it because if they announce that they want a striker they will have to pay silly money (remember Carroll to Liverpool £35mil)
I'm not sure who will be coming in but definately there will be a striker coming in and it looks most likely to be a striker from Spain or Portugal
Many thanks

It has to be a Soldado or Negredo as anything less would just be filling a gap for now. Then when we buy someone during the summer then the 4th choice striker won't go for as much as we would need to sell. Please don't undersell us again DL. Badgerspurs

Levy has got in 8 players before the season started how can you say he is not getting his wallet out?
yes we need a CF and if we get one great. if any one can get a good deal to bring one in with out it putting to much debt on the club then levy is the man to do it.

Friend at Celtic says we were in with a bid for Hooper (not good enough in my opinion)but got rejected. Says very doudtful we will go back for him as was a very low bid.He's no reason to lie any truth ed.
Believable3

Surely as a chairman of the club you love, and with half a footballin brain you can see for the last 3 years the missing ingredient has been a striker. I know Stats do not win games but we are domintating nearly all of them each game except for the end product. Would easily of had CL football sewn up this year and the last two seasons from our positions in January.
Agree5
Disagree1
Seemingly the hooper is dead according to my friend at Celtic. He says that we are looking at a german striker but didn't have a name. But did say to me that we are definitely in the hunt for a striker before the window shuts. Maybe the rumoured injury to defoe has moved things up? Ed any comment

Just got a message from a friend who is itk at Leeds. We've agreed a deal to sign Beechio with obika going the other way on loan although personal terms haven't been agreed with either player. Not the big name we were hoping for looks like levy has took the cheaper option then hoping we get cl football next season and go for the bigger name in the summer.

Thinking yesterdays result is a blessing in disguise. We need that out and out striker who can put the ball away with 1/2 a chance. not had that striker since Klinsmann.
Defoe is OK if he gets off 5 shots in a game he might find the net but every game, chance after chance goes begging.
Levy spend big and secure that Champions league spot.
COYS

There are NO POSITIVES to take from going out of the FA Cup to a poor Leeds side end of!!
Mark my words we are not signing a top striker in this transfer window, totally agree we should but it aren't going to happen.
On yesterdays performace...
Caulker was absolutley shocking yesterday, I know he is young and lets hope he does develop in to the kind of defender we all hope he is but on that display (along with a few other suspect displays) he has a long way to go! Dawson over Caulker from me although lets pray Kaboul gets back soon!
Naughton, same problem as walker at full back (everthing happens behind him) altough can't get forward like walker does so walker over Naughton all day long.
Siggs is shocking, headless chicken springs to mind! No real quality!!
Hudds, luxury player! plenty of quality but turns like the coach I travelled to Leeds in!!
If AVB actually believes we have enough up top then the man is delusional, if its not him and its Levy simply not releasing the cash to buy our man then we are in trouble!! Relying on pure luck with injuries from now until the end of the season to claim that top 4 spot is utter madness and a gamble we surely don't need to take!!
Agree4

Not had a striker since klinsmann? might not be as good but we did have berbatov who was a world class striker and scored 23 goals both the seasons he played for us
