Just re-iterating my thoughts as the time draws closer :-

The player that will be unveiled will
be Alvaro Negredo on Tuesday 2nd August.

Gio will be going the other way but not until
his 10% clause with Barcelona runs out
(Monday 1st August)reportedly.

Then
Hutton to Villa

Crouch/Keane sold on the cheap (£10 mill
between them) to fund a bid for.....

Llorente

MITH - Tuesday is the day

Believable11 Unbelievable5

While this seems possible, I have heard Alvaro is not interested in coming to Spurs unfortunately As for Gio if he moves I hope its on loan only as he is a star of the future

Also String Bean and Kean I believe they will go for a round £18m for the both if they go at all...

Llorente on the other hand.. Would be nice but wishfull thinking I reckon but hey we need to hope for the best..

Hope your predictions come true :-)

Lassanda diarra to spurs done deal announced this week

Believable11 Unbelievable10

How many times have we heard that every week it seems its either him, vucinic or rossi signing

Agree0 Disagree0

The deal is done, he needs to agree personal terms and have a medical. Other things holding up the deal is spurs also wanting a striker on loan (benzema or higuian) also enquirer for kaka on loan as mourinho wants him out. Spurs and Madrid are trying to 'agree' a fee for bale for 2-3years time, this will then see diarra join and one of the others come in on loan.

I think unless we get a big name striker in this window Modric will absolutey demand a move in the January window becauase without a decent striker coming in we have NO chance of getting anywhere near 4th spot and will prob fall behind L'poolin the race. If Levy and Harry are serious about "matching" Modrics ambition they had better identify the striker we need and make it happen. Unfortunately I dont see it happening as we keep being made to look mugs by going in for players and quibbling about the fee which means the deal ends up not happening (Leandro, Vucinic) hang on to your souvenirs of last years CL run cos it aint happening again any time soon the way things are going

Believable11 Unbelievable8

If this is true then levy and redknapp should be lynched

Agree0 Disagree0

They DID in January.

Agree0 Disagree0

In January yes this summer no. Spurs are not interested in any Fulham players including Zamora and Dembele

Agree0 Disagree0

I really hope not. We have gone from Rossi to Vucinic to Dembele Not a good sign.

On the 30th of July 2011, it was confirmed that Juventus F.C signed Vučinić for 15 million from A.S. Roma, with a 4 year deal worth 3.5 million per year.

Believable10 Unbelievable11

Lol why are peope not belivings this its the truth read the headlines on all the other sites {Ed008's Note - It was done ages ago the deal.

Agree0 Disagree0

Exactly ed but people still dont think it true :s

Agree0 Disagree0

Theres no confirmation of that deal being done yet so he hasnt signed yet with juve, so lets hope its just hope we can nick him

Agree0 Disagree0

That's quite disapponting. I was told he is sure to join us. Shows that their is no such thing as an ITK

It is amazing how fickle Spurs fans are, did you all forget we were going nowhere rooted to the foot of the table. Redknapp and Levy have done a fantastic job at Spirs, and if any player feels he is above the club then who cares if they move on. Modric is fantastic for sure, but is he really better than Huddlestone partnering Sandro in the middle. What about Sandro and Van Der Vaart in 4-4-2 which would allow two strikers to play again rather than morph the shape around VDV. I am absolutely convinced the following will happen and I am sure I will get some responses from people who think they are informed:

1. The Olympic Stadium decision will be eventually over turned as it is clear the commercials of a Championship team are not viable. Whether this constitutes a compensation payment to West Ham, or simply a High Court case reversal. I cannot see this not happening and am convinced that Levy has more information than we are led to believe.
2. Modric is going to Chelsea for £37.5m + Sturridge and this comes from a very reliable source. Clearly there is always room for counter bids or changes but this is 90% agreed and waiting upon the Affelay deal.
3. Ibrahim Affellay will join Spurs to play on the LCM position. A deal of £8.5m is being agreed and will soon be finalised.
4. Robbie Keane will join QPR for £6.5m after Taarabt is sold which is nearing conclusion.
5. Bassong will join PSG for £9m
6. Crouch will join Newcastle for £11.75m which at face value appears to be the inflated price The Toon need to pay to get the right players. At 30 I feel that this sales will once again demonstrate the brilliance of Levy.
7. Jermaine Jenas will join QPR for £7m after the brilliant Taarabt deal is finalised with Arsenal for £14m. I know this will come as a surprise to many but as soon as Fabregas leaves for Barcelona expect this deal to be announced.
8. Vucinic will sign for £13.75m as soon as Keane and Crouch leave which will happen before the window closes.
9. Joe Cole will sign for £2m and try to reignite his career from the bench under Redknapp.

There will be no Osvaldo, Rossi, Parker, Gyan, Diarra, Adebayor or Cahill deals. These have been removed from the acquisition plans.

Many will challenge some or all of my comments, but rest assured that these will come to fruition. When the season begins Spurs will be stronger than last year, can realistically win the Uefa Cup and soon be sitting proud as Uefa Cup holders and 4th in Premiership in a brand new shiny Olympic stadium.

Thank you

Vucinic has gone to valencia so much for your reliable source get you facts right

Agree0 Disagree0

Really mate? Isn't Vucinic supposed to be joning Juventus on Monday? hope it's true though.

Agree0 Disagree0

I am a die hard spurs fan but i think you have been on the funny cigarettes Vucinic is joining Juventus tomorrow as it is a done deal and he has had a medical. Taarabt is not leaving QPR as he has stated this himself. Crouch £11.75M??. £37.5M + sturridge?? Give over, Chelsea would never offer that. Seriously the olympic stadium??

Agree0 Disagree0

That's one heck of a list of predictions. The OPLC court case is a bargaining tool to get the financial backing for the NDP.
As for all the comings ang goings it's very rare for so much buisness to happen in 1 window.
Quite admire your courage to say such things in face of the inevitable criticism coming your way

Agree0 Disagree0

Of course it'll all come to fruition. Let's not concern ourselves with the FACT that QPR have said that "Taarabt will not be sold in the summer transfer window". Let's not concern ourselves that there is not a club in the world who will pay £9mil for a defender who is a 'bit part player'. £6.5mil for Keane? I should coco Are they buying 3 of him? Jenas for £7mil LMAO. Warnock could just take a drive down to Brighton and get himself a crab off the beach, for free. Vucinic has signed for Juventus.... I'm guessing you've been in the sun for an hour too long

Agree0 Disagree0

Well thats crap aint it ?? Vucinic has signed for Juventus , any more old b***s**t you have to spout . Lets face it , it will be the same squad , with the same crap strikers , and all the over rated other crap we are stuck with . Basically Levy is pricing our fringe crap with such high prices , we are never going to move them on and he knows it . When it comes to the start of the season , he will say " we tried for so and so but they didnt want to come , or we offered this but nothing come of it " . Same crap excuses they used in January . Lets face it , we should get used to being a top six club because thats all we are going to be Stop wasting money on the olympic stadium , we dont want it and wont get it . Come on Harry and Levy be honest with the supporters , we havent got any money , we are stuck with three crap forwards , players dont want to come to Spurs because we have no ambition , and we are stuck with mediocre players because when it comes to clearing out the crap , levy thinks they are worth more than they actually are
So there , rant over

Agree0 Disagree0

Vucinic is still at roma deres no offacial anouncement yet that hes signed for anybody so theres still hope

Agree0 Disagree0

How much is Levy paying you to write this guff? The reason Spurs were at the bottom of the League was that Levy had undermined Jol who had taken us to 5th 2 seasons in a row because he wanted to bring the non-English speaking Juande Ramos in. Vucinic is red hot at the bookies to join Juve with some sources saying hes already signed. We wont get anything like the fees you think we will for our deadwood players because old bargaining expert Levy has let everybody know they are surplus and surprisingly now no teams are willing to pay the relatively high fees Levy wants. As for Cole joining this would be a complete waste of cash, hes been past it for 3 seasons now due to injuries. 7m for Jenas and 11.75m for Crouch? Am not even gonna waste time dignifying that rubbish with a comment.

Agree0 Disagree0

Actually I've never read so much rubbish and I think this will be proven by the end of the window but it looks like Vucinic is off to Juve for a start

Agree0 Disagree0

Like I said a bunch of negative responses is nothing short of what I expected. Vucinic WILL NOT join Juventus as every source is saying is already a done deal. He will infact join Spurs and then you may start believing the again.

I didnt say Jenas was worth £7m but love him or hate him every English player with half an ounce of ability is going for £20m atm.

Do you expect Robbie Keane to go for £3m then or less? Robbie is an Irish international player who is still scoring loads of goal internationally. He is clearly getting limited chances at Spurs and isworth every bit of £6.5m.

Levy point blank rejects £30m and Harry has already indicated that Chelsea would need to pay a whole lot more to sign Modric. Well it will be a whole lot more £7.5m more + a player that could b great but is unproven atm.

The fee for Vucinic of £13.75m is the amount being proposed albeit this is rounded as the deal will clearly be done in Euros.

When have you known Levy to lose significant money on players. Well we paid £8m for Bassong who was more unrpoven than he is now and players like Samba being touted at £15m why does £9m sound so much ? Bassong has been a depndable player and proved he is classy, the only reason he didnt quite make it was the brilliance of Dawson and the outstanding displays of Gallas and King and Woodgate and Kaboul didnt exactly improve his chances.

Vucinic coming upsoon watch this space. {Ed002's Note - Vucinic is having a medical in Turin today.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Lay of the wesley snipe makes you hear and see things that aint real

Agree0 Disagree0

"I'm both excited and happy to be playing for Juventus". Mirko Vucinic officially started his experience as a Bianconero by pronouncing these words on Juventus Channel. Vucinic spoke shortly after signing the contract in the Juventus office early this afternoon (in the morning, he underwent the medical tests) and later headed to Vinovo for taking part in the first training session with his new team-mates.

The Montenegrin is on his growth path after his starring days with the shirt of AS Roma. Even though it was a long experience that it's impossible to be erased within a minute, Vucinic has already turned over a new leaf: "AS Roma was into my heart but it's over now. I'm very happy to be here playing for Juventus".

Spurs have NO interest in Bobby Zamora as stated in The People, however Jol is looking at both Crouch and Defoe as possible additions to Fulham.

Not liking this Mata interest. He's primarily a LM, in which we have Bale, why would we need anyone else? Unless its a replacement for modric, do people think Mata could do that role?

Believable8 Unbelievable2

He can play on either wing and in cam role

Agree0 Disagree0

Actually he's played a bit on the right and got a good right foot. Could provide competition for Lennon, Bale and van der Vaart and I think he'd be a useful signing if we stick to 4-5-1.
Think we should be focussing on a new striker tho, especially if we're going 4-5-1.
hk_yid

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes he could

Agree0 Disagree0

He's probably the best young player in La Liga, can play as a winger, has the skill and ability to play attacking midfield and gets goals. Exactly the type of player we should be signing he's real quality {Ed008's Note - Very versitile player and even if it was to replace Bale (just saying) he's better than him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed008, Ive never seen Mata play, do you honestly believe him to be better than G.Bale? Is there any links or games I could see to see what he's like? cheers {Ed001's Note - he is not really a wide left player, but Mata is a superior player to Bale in a number of respects. He doesn't have Bale's pace, but he is a far more creative player, one of the best young players around.}

Agree0 Disagree0

He can also play up-front as well as midfield he played upfront when soldado (excuss my spelling) got injured and played quality against villeraell

Agree0 Disagree0

Mata has already stated he is not interested in a move to Spurs

Agree0 Disagree0

Spurs will not get mata as arsenal have cl football and are simply better

Agree0 Disagree0

Not according to the Emirates' cup there not lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry that was me foxspur, forgot to put my name to the banter. anyway Spurs are better that Ar5ena1 who holds a cup competition and doesn't win it? I will admit tho You had a gem in Henry he was the crowd fav win or lose.

Arry confirms Mata interest

Top 4 Wannabe

Believable8 Unbelievable1

Mata is a fantastic player and I would love for us to get him but should we not concentrate on getting a striker instead of a winger considering we already have too many midfielders/wingers (Lennon, Van der Vaart, Bentley, Bale, Pienaar, Kranjcar, Rose and Townsend can all operate on the wings)

Agree0 Disagree0

Not sure we are really after this guy think its smoke for someone else.Lots going on at the minute.

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont see this happening, hes got the choice between us and Arsenal and sadly we arent the ones who can offer him CL. Also agree midfielder shouldnt be a priority when we are so obviously short of a top drawer striker
