{Ed008's Note - I posted it how it was..

When rvp came out with his listening to his inner child statement as soon as I seen him in a utd shirt the Kate Bush song The Man with the child in his Eyes.. was stuck in my head, I'm surprised Match of Day didn't use it when he scored wkend. It goes
Ooh he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
But for the goons it could b changed to
Ooh u sold your best player again
The man with the child in his eyes

So modders has gone then....it's gonna be interesting to see if this partnership with real is going to mean anything, and if so might we see someone come the other way? I guess we will soon see. I'm thinking maybe a fringe real striker on loan? What do you make of this Ed? {Ed041's Note - its a partnership for young players and franchise and coaching etc. it doesnt mean we will get there top players or anything but in the future haveing that partnership will help any moves for top players.

Arsenal have a partnership with Barcelona, it's abit of a one way partnership though!!!

The Rabbit

Nice one Rabbit !

I think we need to invest in quality,rather than quantity.I know many people will laugh and say we have no chance,but i reckon we should go for Falcao and Moutinho.We have the funds,just a big job convincing them that we are a club that is progressing in the right direction.Both have worked under AVB,which should help any negotiations.

Atletico paid £35 mil for Falcao and he has got even better since so you can add another 5-10 mil onto that transfer fee.

Levy would never pay that kinda money for 1 player. Thats's why we have no chance of getting Moutinho valued at 25-30 mil never mind Falcao!

Falcao doesn't want to leave and will be £40 million plus wants CL football if he does leave. If anyone buys him, I expect it to be Chelski, they have the money and the allure. As for Moutinho; I can't see it, Levy will blow all of the Modric fund on Willian and then panic buy.
Top four is slipping away fast...

You have about as much chance of signing Falcao as you do of having a 3some with Kelly Brooke and Beyonce whilst having your balls tickled by Halle Berry.

If your Simon Cowell then i apologise, he can because he does what he wants when he wants.

OsgoodIsKing

Fair point Osgoodisking,but i'm a bit of a dreamer being a Spurs fan.

HALLE,STOP IT,THAT REALLY TICKLES !

Read all the posts on here and ask yourself whether this pessimism and fickle nature is befitting a title contender fan base. Anyone would think we hadn't finished 4th and cemented our position in recent years. I challenge any of you to look at the team when Levy took over, and then look at the decade prior to that to remind yourselves how dark the clouds were over White Hart Lane.

So let's look at the current transfers, we have sold our midfield maestro for £33.2m and lost arguably the best defender ever to play for Spurs. In the last two seasons we have cleared the decks of Krancjar, Corluka, Pavlyuchenko, Keane, Pletikosa, Saha, Nelson, Bassong, Crouch, Palacios, Hutton, Woodgate, O'Hara, Alnwick and Dervitte. Anyone we think we hadn't been busy with all those deals, and the pessimist will elude towards the fact we still have Jenas, Gomes and Bentley.

If we stop for for a moment and consider the signing of Vertonghen and Sigurdsson, and then include the emerging talent of Caulker, Kane, Livermore and Naughton things look slightly better. I imagine you are all concerned that we need a goalkeeper post Freidel, a midfielder or two and a striker. So let's look at where we are in each position;

GK - Butland is our long term target, but with Stekelenburg, Cesar and Lloris all targeted, expect one to come in next week. Expect Gomes to leave and both present and future options covered either now or in January.

Defence - The high line doesn't suit players like Dawson, but we already have superb cover with BAE, Rose, Caulker, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Gallas, Walker and the rising superstar Naughton.

Midfield - After the departure of Modric and the worrying inclusion of Jenas things do look a little bleak. One needs to consider the impact of the brilliant Sigurdsson, and then consider we still have Bale, Livermore, Parker, Sandro, Van Der Vaart, Jenas, Huddlestone, Bentley & Lennon. Clearly Huddlestone is out of favour and most feel Jenas and Bentley are not good enough. With Moutinho, Dembele, Willian, M'Villa, Meireles and even Nani and Anderson on the radar, one would be amazed if we didn't sign at leat two suitable replacements.

Strikers - Defoe looks somewhere near his very best and Adebayor offers a real threat upfront. Then include the current potential of Kane and the future potential of Coulibally. One player that has been rumoured to be leaving is Dos Santos, but AVB is a bigger fan and his style and ability as a supporting striker does support the high line system. We have been linked with Hulk, Llorente, Remy, Damiao and Sturridge to mention a few. AVB has publically stated he isn't going to sign any more strikers, and that is technically true as we have already signed Leandro Damiao at the time of his report. The deal was pending the funds from the Modric sale and next week Damiao will join to fulfill our ambition to challenge.

So enough of your pessimism, and just you wait and see what treasure await us next week. I for one am excited and cannot wait for our season to be set alight.

The Oracle {Ed008's Note - He's back!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ! That was a nice dream , sitting in the Olympic stadium watching Damaio score for THFC ! Oh hang on !!

Much love

I can't even bring myself to read it.
Pinky......Malaga.......where are you!!

He will be with us next week ? Surely that's too late ??

Thank you Oracle, you have put a huge smile on my face with your optimism. Can't help but think it will be wiped off come 11:00 pm Friday though.
Dave

Tell you what if, come Saturday, we haven't signed DAMAIO, then you deserve everything you get on here oracle.
Silly silly boy. Always set yourself up for a verbal bashing.

On a bleak rainy bank holiday monday a ray of sunshine flickers through the clouds in the form of another comedy classic from the oracle , keep em coming mate god loves a trier .

Despite The Oracle's history there is a lotmof sense here.

Hold on a second!!

"So let's look at the current transfers, we have sold our midfield maestro ..."

That comma should not have been used. The words "So let's look at the current transfers" are the opening of a paragraph and quite a 'bold' statement. To follow them with a comma completely undermines their importance and throws the whole equilibrium of the paragraph off balance. Anything you may have said after this has to be taken with a pinch of pepper.

P.S. "Let's"??? Short for 'Let is'?? Meaning you said - "So let is look at the current transfers, we have sold our midfield maestro...". Your Grammar is terrible.

That is all

OsgoodIsKing

Cant we just call him the testicle?
Super Y*d

Not that I'm intentionally sticking up for the oracle or anything but this is a football banter site .... Is grammar really that important ? Not to mention that the vast majority of English can't use correct grammar anyway .... And not to mention it's impossible to speak perfect English

Come Saturday morning only one of two things will happen.
1. Oracle will be proved right or,
2. The oracle is going take one hell of a bashing....

Time will tell. Let's just wait and see!

Flippit

Nothing new here, just a summary .. I hope you are correct about LD, everything else in here is repeat of countless other posts. Though I'd question Gallas and Rose fitting AVBs style ..think Gallas is only there to provide on field leadership at the moment and once Verts is settled in the EPL and Kaboul comes back expect to see Gallas on the bench, possibly behind Caulker.

If you look at our targets (with the exception of Willian and Isco) and our current squad, you'd have to say we're gonna have the most athletic, physical side in the league. Already we have Vertonghen, Kaboul, Caulker, Walker, Sandro, Sigurdsson, Bale, Livermore, Adebayor, who are all big, strong athletes. M'vila, Dembele, Remy, Damiao all fit into this category. Certainly can't see many teams matching us physically this season, especially with AVB's high intensity, pressing and passing game. At least we shouldn't have to see Spurs being bullied this year (at least now Lukaku's out the way!).

Hey my people just wondering how u think our park the bus football is doing!


pinky

You may not realise it pinky but if you click on "links to our other rumour sites" and scroll up to chelsea you can actually find your own rumours site where people might give a **** about what you have to say, its unlikely though

You certainly not parking the bus this season. Maybe that is why he has bought so many attacking players this season, so he wouldn't heed to park his bus again like he had too last season. Fair play. You look good tho

O dear looks like matey needs feeding!

pinky

Like that advert except instead of one sheet gooners are to be known now as one shot! 24mil and one shot classic you couldnt write it or dream it. Keep it up gooners.

If im being honest im happy to see Modric go now we have this agreement with Real Madrid. it is going to benefit us big in the future in my opinion!

Haymaker

With the money Rat Boy will be getting from RM, don't you think he can finally get his teeth fixed?

And his hair styled into something resembling the modern era?

It would seem to me that the club have the money that it is going to get from the Moderic deal plus anything it gets from other outs. So in theory should be £40 million ish.To date in the transfer window the net spend seems to be about £6 million.
We will know in the next few days if the club are just re cycling or going for it, if two or three top top player are brought in then wow, but if the signings are restricted to say players like Merieless then the quality of the team will be less.
The real trouble is that clubs know Spurs have got at least £20+ million from the sale of Moderic so won't let their players go cheap and as the clocks ticking it seems unlikely that at this stage there won't be any real top quality bargains. What that means is that clubs who really don't need to sell wont buckle in the same way.
My guess is one midfielder, possibly William, for about £20 million, won't be less as they turned down that type of offer from Chelsea plus one or maybe two fringe players on loan from Real Madrid.

Good luck modric and thankyou for your service, I hope that the grass is greener at Madrid.

is thudd staying? his passing from deep is one of best around if he sat next to sandro his clever eye for the through ball and passing accuracy could increase our creative play greatly the season we qualified for cl he was putting bale and lennon through at will remember the paper headline that year sayin he should be called hoddlestone we still would need a modrat replacement, i know thudd has a lack of pace but sandro has a workrate that would cover this interested to hear your opinions
mattb

I think that does sound promising, but you have to remember he hasn't played much in the last 2 seasons and looked very rusty in preseason. I think this loan will be good for him

How can anybody compare him to Hoddle FFS!!!!
Well its just my opinion that we, as most top clubs, are now set up on the pitch to NOT play long ball stuff. Football is now played on the ground with very mobile and agile players and the ball is moved in, generally, quick short passes. Huddlestone is a player not of this style, his mobility is p*ss poor and certainly not the kind of player who would find himself in the first team of most of the Premiership big guns. Ok, he can shoot and his long range passing is excellent, he is the perfect player for a Sunderland/Villa/Norwich kinda side, not for us because long ball is never going to be an option!
