My nephew is good friends with d rose. Rumour has it a real Madrid player will be at spurs wont say who but ill get it out of him

Believable7 Unbelievable5

... please not diarra

Agree5 Disagree2

^^ I think it will be though. Lets live in dream land and hope for Benzema

Agree2 Disagree2

Ive heard spurs are discreetly looking into Joselu as Real as he is looking for more than reserve football

Agree3 Disagree1

It will be there cleaner lol

Agree1 Disagree0

Alvaro Morata would be a decent third choice striker option, lots of potential but is struggling with so many quality proven strikers ahead of him. That said I've seen nothing linking us with any Real players bar the usual old chestnut because Lass used to play for Harry, but we hardly need another DM

Agree2 Disagree0

Are you the same bloke that has been friends of the redknapp family for 45 years...?

Agree3 Disagree0

Yes, that's me. for sure.

Agree0 Disagree0

No I ant it's the only contact I have near spurs believe it or not.

He has been offered a huge amount to go to the middle east, believe Qatar.

Ed can you confirm the rumour about redknapp or is it just crap? {Ed008's Note - Can't confirm anything all i know is theirs talks about a contract ongoing...

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Not sure if it's true but has anyone noticed in the past week how quiet Harry has been?
Normally shouting about signing someone way out of our reach ( tevez, messi, Ferdinand,) {Ed001's Note - I am told Levy is unhappy with Harry's media dealings. That he puts part of the blame for Spurs' end of season collapse onto Harry's constant talking to the media and discussing everything very publicly. I think Harry will be either a lot quieter in future or looking for a new job myself.}

Agree4 Disagree2

How do we know he is not just taking a break from football atleast for a week. Heck he has had a massive year full of drama on and off the pitch. Id be happy if he was soaking up some lost island sun.

Agree3 Disagree2

Luuk de Jong from FC Twente could be one of the inbound strikers, seems we're looking at two from a pool that contains him along with Adebayor, Remy, Damaio and an unnamed Premier League striker (Demba Ba perhaps?).

This along with a replacement for Modric, if he goes are major priorities. That's where the Lavezzi link may come from, also Belhanda, Martinez and Ganso have generated interest from Spurs.

Vertonghen appears a done deal and will be announced on or after June 1st.

Spurs also showed interest in Pedro of Barcelona recently but are not keen to enter negotiations with them if any kind as the subject of Bale will arise.

Tottenham have made a move for Brendan Rodgers after getting rid of Redknapp. This has halted Liverpools talks with him and no deal has been signed yet.

Believable4 Unbelievable12

Where does it say Harry has left??

Agree2 Disagree1

I smell sh!te

Agree3 Disagree0

I'm unsure about whether this rumour is false or not. If you listen to the other rumours further down about Levy being unhappy with Redknapp, then has Levy's hand been forced with Liverpool going for Brenden Rodgers. Liverpool are discussing compensation at the moment according to BBC but it's known that he has a £5m release clause in his contract anyway so this rumour could be true (unless you it's like 1+1 = 3 ie it don't add up). I for one am undecided about Redknapp, sure he's done a great job but he's tried to keep his options open this season which has certainly messed us up (as we should have got 3rd). As alway least we not forget IN LEVY WE TRUST.

The Rabbit

Agree0 Disagree3

Would much rather Martinez than Rodgers. Swansea have his foundations that Rodgers has continued. Martinez has managed to get some great results and survive several years with no top players whatsoever (sorry Wigan), when they do unearth one they sell. They try to play good football despite the players they have and I think he has the right philosophy for Spurs.

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't think redknapp has gone, but as long as we're doing this, my choice would be paul lambert. Seems like everything harry is in terms of man management and transfers but knows his tactics as well

Agree0 Disagree0

Redknapp has left!!

What a load of rubbish

Hi Ed. What is the latest on Vertonegen(hope I spelled his name correctly). Everything has gone quiet since last week. Are we getting him do you think?

The Don

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Don
What I think will happen is we will make it final For around the Belgium England game
Just my thought ...

Agree4 Disagree1

I have seen several twitter tweets that Vertonghen will be having his medical at the Lane tomorrow.

Agree4 Disagree1

No it's Vertonghen

Agree3 Disagree0

I still believe he will come to Tottenham. He'll do great for us.

And it's 'Vertonghen'.. I think:P

Re Cavani and Martin reply, sorry i dont have any prove, but i do have a dictionary!

Believable6 Unbelievable3

So basically you're just guessing that they're in talks?

Agree2 Disagree2

30 May 2012 18:30:55
Cavani and Marvin Martin are in talks with us.

Believable9 Unbelievable5

Can we really afford Cavani?
What prove do you have?

Agree0 Disagree2

If we're struggling to pay the 13m for vertonghen, where are we gonna get 30+m for cavani?

Agree0 Disagree1

Maybe we are struggling the £13m for Vertonghen because Levy has big plans for big money moves for some strikers? We can only spceculate

Agree2 Disagree2

Were not struggling.....its called haggling , you try to get a lower price tthan the one quoted. facepalm!

Agree1 Disagree1

The person who said mentioned the facts we struglling to pay for Vertonghen.. We aren't struggling, I believe Levy is wondering if he's worth it and he's also probably waiting for Ajax to agree on the price.

Agree0 Disagree1

Martin looks a good player. We all know about Cavani but I would have serious doubts as to whether we can afford him I hope we can though.

Agree0 Disagree1

Don't kid your selves you spuds!

PR!

30 May 2012 17:39:43
Vertonghen, Marvin Martin, Adebayor and Leandro Damiao are all negotiating with Tottenham.

Believable5 Unbelievable5

I hope the vertonghen, adebayor and damiao deals can be done. it'll put us in a good position for the beginning of the season. WE NEED TO KEEP OF LUKA

Agree1 Disagree1

Keep hold of*

Apparently spurs and the goons are both chasing Lazii captain Stefan Radu with s**tty interested as well even though he still has 4 years left on his contract.

Eds do you think it could happen? {Ed001's Note - there is certainly interest in him from the Prem, it does look like he is going to move, but I have no idea where.}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Heard shalke are bidding 12 mil to get rafa VDV. klass jan hunteelar wont sign an extension to his contract and they think signing rafa will help. luckily for us he loves tottenham, just whether tottenham want to cash in.

hope not, rafa is a pain in the arse but he's a legend. lets hope he persuades Klass to come to us instead.

Believable2 Unbelievable6

Maybe hunterlaar is coming to us? If he won't sign a new contract and wants to play with vdv.. Maybe that means he will just have to come play with us? Wishful thinking.. I know!

Agree0 Disagree2

Who else thinks VDV wouldn't be sorely missed ? Yes yes he's a great player but .... He's a slow link in a fast spurs team

Agree4 Disagree7

Neymar my arse

Agree9 Disagree2

Neymar a rumour his gona cost more then hazard, that is impossible more chance of signing tevez

Agree6 Disagree2

Besides Johnson, forget about Neymar and Kaka!!

Agree2 Disagree3

Neymar, more chance in getting Messi.

Agree5 Disagree1

Huntelaar is klaas, and VDV is happy at Spurs. The pair playing together would be mouthwatering

Agree3 Disagree2

VDV should not be sold, regardless of our opinions. We already have to do a lot of business this summer with new strikers + vertonghen and maybe a new winger, plus a replacement for modric if he goes. Selling VDV, who is one of our 'star' players (Bale & Modric too) plus the only one who has expressed a genuine desire to stay and become a legend will only increase the uncertainty in the dressing room. It's not worth it for the disruption it would cause our season

Agree2 Disagree1

A legend after 20 months and unable to play 90 mins ... Your standards have slipped a long ways... Oh and what have we won since he arrived ? Mmmm

Agree1 Disagree4

Did I say he was already a legend? No. What you can't avoid though is we have a world cup final captain in our squad who is one of the classiest players I have seen at spurs in a long time, who has publicly stated he will only move to spend the last few years of his career in the eredivisie.

Agree2 Disagree0

Which is why he is so quiet about the Schalke rumor ?

Agree0 Disagree0

Quote: A legend after 20 months and unable to play 90 mins ... Your standards have slipped a long ways... Oh and what have we won since he arrived ? Mmmm.
This is some kind of joke post? VDV is one of the few players Im happy to shell out an arm and a leg for to watch at the lane. He is class, period. No we havent won anything since he has been with us and we didnt finish in the top three with Adebayor, Modric, Bale etc, etc. You think its all down to VDV?As for not being able to play for 90mins, thats utter bullsh*t. Injuries aside, he has shown that he is more than capable of staying on the pitch for 90mins but Redknapp has proved that, more often than not, he cant keep the fella on without taking him off. To the other poster, when you are as clever as he is on the pitch you can compensate for a lack of pace.Are you going to criticise Parker for no pace? Sandro? Huddlestone? Modric? Nah. IIRC, his goals tally isnt too shabby either, right? How soon people forget, eh? Some of the stuff on here is utter cack and you seriously wonder if some of the posters have been watching Spurs with blindfolds on. To repeat: He is top quality, scores goals, creates goals, is experienced and to replace him with as good or better will cost us about twice the amount of the £10 million that has been suggested Shalke would pay for him. Do the maths if you cant do the football phillosphy.
Super Y*d

Agree1 Disagree0

VDV class yes, a legend no.

Agree0 Disagree0

I reckon before you reply you really ought to learn to read peoples posts. NOBODY has said he IS a legend, have they? The difference between the good, the great and the legends is, possibly silverware and, without a doubt, the supporters perception of them. Loyalty can make legends just as much as trophys can. This club has many "legends" but not all of them were great players just loyal hardworking Pros who understood what being a supporter meant. Dont assume that great players automatically become legends, they dont.
Super Y*d

"rafa's a pain in the arse, but he's a legend" try reading the initial post.

Defoe is in talks with Arsenal he wants more game time. This came from a reliable source.

Believable2 Unbelievable12

More rubbish why bother posting this rubbish defoe would never join the goons.....

Agree5 Disagree1

More BS from a Gooner! concentrate on keeping hold of RVP.

Agree5 Disagree1

Oh yea he will get a lot more games ahead of van persie and podolski.

Agree0 Disagree1

Defoe would never join the Gooners. He loves Spurs too much and wouldn't wanna become a hate figure.

Agree3 Disagree1

Defoe left West Ham for us, hence most of them hate him. Do you think he'll be that bothered about us hating him if he's playing more, on more money and able to stay in London? Doubt it and it's not like he's the main man is it, even Saha was used as a starter and sub as much as him.

Agree0 Disagree0

I hope not and i'm a gooner

Agree0 Disagree1

Why do we want Defoe? We already have one crock of s**t in the form of Bendtner.

Do a swap deal if you want.

I have been friends with a family
member of Harrys for 45 years. Last
week they told my brother that Harry
was at loggerheads with Levy over
the length of his next contract. Harry
has now spoken to two other clubs. He
thinks Harry hopes Levy will give in.
At this stage Levy is being stubborn,
which may see Harry depart. Last i
had heard this was to be Harry's last
job. Levy seems to still be upset
over the England speculation and
Harry's refusal to go public and say
he was not interested.

Believable4 Unbelievable6

What utter twaddle why if you had been friends with his family for 45 years is his family member speaking to your brother...? Jog on you gooner mug

Agree2 Disagree3

This sounds like complete bull.

Agree0 Disagree2

Dipstick i'm a Spurs fan who went to school with a family member in East London. I live in Australia now my brother is involved in football in the UK. I have no idea how true it is. I'm definitely not a gooner though.

Agree3 Disagree1

^^^Calm down mate! Others have also expressed similar sentiments!

Agree0 Disagree0

I believe the rumour. Personally I'm hacked off that Harry didn't commit and so would Levy especially how we stood by him in the tax case. I read somewhere yesterday that we may be copying the Barcelona system by promoting within. Harry will stay for at least a season but Tim Sherwood will take over as manager when he goes.

The Rabbit

Agree0 Disagree2

Re: Rabbit, I've not heard that but I do know that Sherwood is highly thought of at Spurs and wouldn't be suprised if he did manage us one day!

Mo, I've heard rumours he's being specifically groomed for the spurs job in a few years
