Nice-one Harry...

The fail is saying we will try to buy Ezekiel Fryers.Remember him he played at united but they could have got up to £6ml for him due to he was under 23.He went to europe well we can get him for £3ml now.Sounds like a Levy deal.Sell A&E to Chelski for 8ml and buy Fryers for 3ml.

Agree4 Disagree7

Biggest load of crap I've heard in a long time. Why don't you get some realistic rumours with some truth in them other than making up complete rubbish!

Agree2 Disagree2

The Original Poster is obviously still on his school break and going by his post I would be very worried for his future! either that or the Thrush has a new side kick.... brilliant I can ˜t wait for another poster who fills this forum with utter tripe!

Dear all,

moutinho or sneijder will sign before end of month (most likely moutinho) for around £25 mil.. and david villa for £14 million... also possiblilty of holtby around 3.5mil or eriksson signing for around 12 mil

Mr. Levy

Believable11 Unbelievable17

No chance of any!

Agree10 Disagree6

Dear Mr Levy, did you win the lottery or sell Bale to make all this happen ?

Agree7 Disagree3

Would love to see both moutinho and erickson, but can't see mr levy paying the money out. Also villa, think he's 32 now and no resale value.

You have just reposted every rumour doing the rounds.
Carefully, you will get yourself a reputation on here, like another I might add.
By the way, no way I'll levy spend that amount in January.

Agree1 Disagree1

Get rid of huddlefro and bring in erikson, quality player. Also need a young hungry striker. Anyone seen coulibaly play?

Agree2 Disagree1

Yeah he is pure quality he gets called the younger drogber.

Still in our youth ranks at the moment not to sure why he isn't starting to break through to 1st team perhaps he's still to young

Jon

Agree3 Disagree1

Saw Coulibaly play a couple of months ago, he was deadly on the end of everything, and he showboated to the crowd by doing a somersault when we cheered him as he was being substituted! Only criticism is he was a bit selfish, but I guess most players are at that age. Should be challenging for the first team within a couple of years.

Agree2 Disagree0

Why would we pay 3.5 million for a player that we can get for nothing {Ed008's Note - buy him no cheaper to get him ahead of other interested clubs.

I had a lil exchange with ed001 thats why, for some reason none of my posts were shown.

We have bid for David Villa, a loan was Levys first choice but that got rejected immediately. Also looking at Zaha but Palace want stupid money.

I was listening to late last night and one of the guys on the show apparently spoke to tottenham representatives that said that they are trying to get a deal or willian done but Willians club are "notoriously difficult to do business with" but the deal will probably be around 16 or 17 million. They also said that they were impressed by the performances of Damiao and are looking to make an approach for him. Any chance of it happening?

The Sledgehammer {Ed008's Note - I don't expect any big signings to happen this window until the summer if they get top 4.

Believable3 Unbelievable5

Tottenham apparently tried to buy Willan last season but they wanted 35 million 4 him so they didnt bother and the same happened with Chelsea

Agree2 Disagree2

Surely ed levy is that stupid not to sanction any buys? Esp after it cost us last term! And please not willian? Totaly overrated

1 of the hottest players in europe kid!!

Hello. Fellow Spurs fan from Norway here. Haringey Independent is writing that we have made a bid for Barcelonas D. Villa. I think Villa would be a great signing, but Liverpool and Chelsea are also reportedly interested in the player.

Happy new year to everyone! COYS!

Believable6 Unbelievable4

There are lots of reports that we have made a bid for him, I think he would be a great signing as he can play up front and on the wings!

Agree1 Disagree6

Since when has david villa been a winger???

Agree8 Disagree6

Think ul find he normally plays on the wing for Barca wen they play 4-3-3 as Messi normally plays CF

Agree6 Disagree7

When you play 4-3-3 you dont have wingers.......geez

Agree8 Disagree6

We don't need a 32 yr old striker.

Agree3 Disagree2

We need a goal scorer regardless of age.

Agree1 Disagree0

Jimmy Greaves was a great. Why not try and get him? Regardless of age!

Agree2 Disagree0

Greaves first touch is probably still better than Ade's

Ed, BBC are saying Remy could move for 10mil and that QPR and Newcastle are the front runners. Does that mean we have dropped our interest? Perhaps because of Lennons fine form?

Jimbo {Ed008's Note - I think Remy was a target of Redknapp when he was in charge people forget that Remy is actually a striker but finds himself wide. He hasn't played that well this season and I don't think Spurs will bid for him, I agree Lennon at times has been sensational.

hi ed is it true were in for holtby and looking to tie a deal up quickly and is he as good as what we have? {Ed001's Note - there is interest there, Spurs are amongst a number of clubs who have expressed an interest in signing him. I am told both options, of signing him now for a reduced fee or signing a pre-contract to get him in the summer on a free, are being explored. As for his ability, I am not sure how he will be utilised, I am struggling to see how he will fit in at Spurs. He is a very good player though.}

I personally feel he would be a brilliant addition to our squa

Well edd how possiable will spurs get Willian and Damaio {Ed002's Note - It will be about money.

Chelsea, Manchester City, Spurs and Juventus have all shown an interest in Willian. Last January Chelsea backed off from buying the player as Shakhtar were looking for 35M euros for the player - the same figure that scared off Spurs in the summer.

Leandro Damiao remains of interest to several clubs including Spurs, Arsenal, PSG, Roma, Sporting Lisbon, Inter, Milan and Juventus. Lyon and Barcelona seem to have dropped any interest they had in the player. January 2013 may be a likely time to move. The summer saw rejected bids from Spurs and PSG. Inter, Roma or Juventus may force a move - and these remain the most likely destinations right now. His club value him at an unrealistic 60M euro which they obviously won't get and they don't want to sell. The player says wants to move to Chelsea but their interest would only be there if other targets were not achievable, but they have taken a look at him.}

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Spurs transfer policy has always been too rigid, that is why we have failed to materialise in some windows. Contingency planning has changed the face of our club, and will reduce our exposure to disappointment in the future. We will no longer simply chase one target, but will run multiple prospect advances at the same time.

The club have a number of players they would like to sign, and that includes those outside of our price bracket like Falcao. This list is then refined to the players that would advance the club, who are believed to be attainable. Damiao & Willian are two who fit that criteria, albeit with owners who are extremely overly optimistic in their respective values. Moutinho & Sneijder are very much still possible as both are included with our acquisition plans.

The noise from Real Madrid regarding Bale is another conundrum. If they were to stump up circa £60m, then the prospect of signing Damiao, Willian, Moutinho & Sneijder becomes real.

So hold onto your seats, the window promises to be our best ever.

The Oracle

Agree7 Disagree13

The prospect of signing Damaio becomes real? In previous posts you have guaranteed 100% he would sign, you need to realise you dont have a clue what you are talking about and i sometimes wonder why your posts of constant drivel get approved!?

Agree9 Disagree3

Im not a spurs fan but do the rounds sometimes and ive gotta say the oracle is a complete muppet. Funny he gives himself a name like that when he hasnt seen out of his mums attic. Every window you have gone on about damiao so much that if he read this page you wouldnt be allowed within 100 feet near him. Now youve started with sneijder. Ws wants wages of about 130 a week after tax which means the club would have to pay about 200k a week. Can you see spurs doin this for someone unproven in the pl. Lastly i dont evrn support spurs and know about the problems caused by modric to get him move. Can you really see the club wanting him back.

The only muppets will be you and the miserable pessimistic swines that call themselves supporters. So please go back to your club page and stop bleating nonsense. The only reason you are here is because you are a Gooner and jealous we are now better than you. Lets hope Walcott comes to his senses, and then you will become the new Liverpool of the South.

Damiao 100%
Willian, Sneijder or Moutinho 100%
Olympic Stadium (Eventually) 100%

This is contingency and the new face of Spurs. I cannot wait for the comments, let me guess - Oracle Deluded 100% or perhaps Oracle rubbish 100%.

Ok Orifice. If we don't sign Damiao (again) in January, how's about some kind of forfeit for you? Will you at least finally admit that you know nothing?

Agree3 Disagree2

Enlighten us Oracle, who else would we like to sign that is on the list with Falcao ...let me guess Messi, Ronaldo. You do actually spout some sense occasionally but then you come out with some total non-sensical rubbish more often than not.

Agree2 Disagree2

Oracle i couldnt care less about walcott as im not a gooner. i check different pages to see who other clubs are signing. You make out you have contacts and are itk but you simply dont have a clue. Can you really see levy payind sneijder 200 k a week. If someone is actually telling you this info then there probably laughing at you behind your back at how stupid someone can be.

Doesnt it tell you something that when you write a comment on here with the replies you get from other spurs fans.

Gaz

Agree2 Disagree2

In the Summer, AVB tried to make too many big signings like Moutinho, Willian and Damaio when he signed Dempsey, Dembele and Vertonghen. As a massive Spurs fan, I would strongly advise AVB to not bother trying to make more than 2 big signings this January. There is a lot of talent in the Spurs team and there will be too much competition for any rhythm in the team.

Ed.. who do you think is most likely to join? {Ed002's Note - Most likely is dificult to answer, but in recent months the club as looked at players such as Willian, Moutinho, Wijnaldum, Llorente, Beric, Eriksen, Sissoko, Wolfswinkel, Yilmaz, Remy, Nem, Adrian Lopez, Damiao, Bender, M’Vila and possibly Djuricic.}
