not only have spurs signing been amazing! even there out goings could be great! if rumours are to be believe carrol could be on his way to Ajax for a season long loan,

i think this is a great move for both carrol and spurs.

hey guys, Liverpool fan here. Just wanted to say what a great transfer window you got, and what a day! Lamela, Eriksen, Chiriches. omg haha! A lot of our fans complain about us not getting targets that we both had, like Eriksen for example. But really, just want to say good job, never seen a transfer window that is so sucessful. Spurs is my second favourite team (even if there is a huge gap between my love with Liverpool haha) and I hope you finish on top and that we finish in the top 4, in front of Arsenal hehe. Good luck on Sunday, a great day of football. YNWA, cheers!

So, who is next on our shopping list? It's all gone quiet (for 5mins). Who knew Levy was a secret oniomaniac? :-)
World-class Left back seems to be the final piece in the proverbial jigsaw.
Maybe another striker seeing as we are being spoilt.
Nedelev too. ?

Bale probably wants to stay now. Trouble is he'll probably have to move to Madrid anyways if he wants guaranteed first team football now :-)

P-to-the-S

Typical of us Spurs fans. We sign 7(seven) quality players in 1 window and all we want to know is who is next. Never happy are we. Anyway who is next any ideas.

It doesn't matter if Lamela or Eriksen and Clariches play or not. We got a massive squad already to choose from and probs be better as they have gelled a bit together already. Defoe done well other night

Please don't think I'm a pessimist because I couldn't be happier with these fantastic signings but there will now be a lot of pressure on us. Everybody will now be expecting us to be challenging for the title or at least a comfortable top 4. Realistically we should be looking for the top with the squad that Levy, Baldini and AVB gave assembled, let's just hope they gel quickly. COYS.

I couldn't be happier with this transfer window!

Gone are the days of internet porn, just click on the spurs home page and pull up our squad list!

Hope there is no truth in the saying, if you do it too much it affects your eyesight.

If Erikson signs over the weekend i'm going to have to take a trip to specsavers!

Thanks for everything Gareth, your a legend and don't worry we will be just fine :)

EDs Can our new players who we signed today play on Sunday against arsenal? {Ed013's Note - Yes, as long as they are registered and the FA are happy}

Vlad Chiriches is so excited about joining us reminds me of Vertonghen a player who wants to play for the club and not a gold digger check him out on social network sites the guys soooo hyped!

ed do you think erikson has signed already but there just not releasing it yet and do you think any of the 3 new signings will play on sunday. {Ed013's Note - Should be before the Arsenal game}

Quick question to you all, who in your opinion is our best signing this summer.

Mine has to be Baldini!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Yes Baldini is the obvious choice but which player?
My choice is Soldado but that's only if I had to choose as I think all our signings have been tremendous Exept Chadli who I'm not convinced with yet.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think paulinho is quality. at 17mil compared to citys 40mil fernandinho, its not hard to see who got the better deal.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2013 17:48:53
Thoughts on which of our wingers will be the most used this season?

If townsend keeps firing then I don't see how he can be dropped, but I highly rate Lennon and think he deserves a starting spot. I'm also guessing that Chadli will be used as a bit of a back-up for Lamela once he has setled in.

wenger saying that our signings could unsettle our squad and season as need time to gel, I have to disagree as the games so far this season they looked good and only can get better, and the new signings today lamela and romanian defender can't prenounce his name lol but they will only add quality to it and I seem to tink AVB let's the new signings to play were they want to play but at the same time he doesn't push them to hard early so the can't be unsettled also with maybe eriksen comeing soldado will have more then enough creativeity behind him now to get more chances on goal, on sunday will tell how far we have come with our new signings and hopefully wenger will have to kiss hos ass and eat his own words if we win

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Why if you win he has to do that? Winning or losing one game this early doesn't prove anything, that's what you will be saying if you lose! Look what happened when you beat arsenal in feb Avb said arsenal were on a downward sprial and look what happened!

Agree0 Disagree0

All spurs fans should go on the arse.nal pages. they seem worried lol

Apology time, mr levy I have criticised you and called you all the name under the sun, I have blamed you for having a lack of ambition, tight fistedness, I have seen countless windows go by that only end in disappointment! But now I really have to put my hands up and say I was wrong and I apologise for all the bad things I have said. Wow what a window don't even mind that we didn't get willian ( wally an more like). Eriksen would be the icing on the cake but what ever happens I have been blown away by the signings! Daniel Levy I WANT YOUR BABIES! An I'm a bloke!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Steady on pike but your correct, Mr Levy has done brilliantly along with Avb and baldini, and not forgetting MR J Lewis our illustrias leader . As the specials once sung this is a dawning of a new era, can feel a disturbance in the force, the spurs are coming can feel the glory coming . So excited but do not want any babies have four girls .

Agree0 Disagree0

Told you all. have faith in levy and co. great signings.

little bit of wishful thinking.

Is Bale going to have his last performance for Tottenham at Arsenal on sunday?

talk about a secret weapon ;)

Very happy with the signing of Chiriches All round football and solid Centre back.

Well done Levy Baldini And AVB great business this summer!

does anyone here think lamela and chiriches and erikson(if he signed) were registered in time to play on sunday. I don't want to wait 2 weeks because of the stupid internationals to see them. I can wait for erikson but I want to see lamela play. also is holtby really going out on loan.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

30 Aug 2013 11:56:02
Bit concerned that ac Milan will do a Chelsea on us and snatch eriksen with boateng looking as though he is going to schalke. Is this a possibility and what would be our potential back up if this was to happen?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We already have him. Holtby!

Frank De boer said yesterday that he thinks erikson, at that time, was undergoing his medical and that the signing is inevitable.
Johan cryff said erikson is joining his 'perfect' team in spurs and will do very well.
That will do for me.

Rumours floating about that Mourinho has made Torres available after signing Eto'o. Worth a punt? £20m should get him, just wages could be a problem and I think our style of play would suit him better and get his old form back (maybe not quite what it was, as he hasn't been the same since injury, but there or there abouts).

Believable0 Unbelievable0

30 Aug 2013 00:35:49
so I take it lamela, erikson and chiriches will be unveild today then(friday). proberly at the training ground when avb is there so they can take a group pic with the shirts.

Is Holtby still going to have any place in the squad with eriksen coming in, I thought he was quality tonight including the goal!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Holtby real class, perhaps a premier loan a good idea! Sell Siggy, maybe Lennon and Dawson! Although Lennon has blistering speed, still doesn't seem to be able to pick his pass, maybe good squad player? Dawson, hate to do it because of his determination, guts and loyalty, but we now have three of the best CH 's with Capouie as back up . Do we need more?

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree with Davo, would love to see Holtby go to Everton as he is a boyhood fan and they will be short of midfielders if Fellaini goes.
Can see Lennon going if Lamela & Eriksen come in, along with Townsends form.
I would say hold on to Dawson this season, and sell him next year. Fryers will be ready for 1st team by then, and will be great at both CB and LB. Exciting times!

Agree0 Disagree0

Firstly stop hating on Dawson because he's still easily good enough to play for us. Secondly yes of course you need 4 dedicated CB as you will need to cover for injuries and although it is not the most tiring position we have a long campaign ahead of us.

Lennon is also easily good enough to play for us. One thing that is rarely rated is how he is a option because his speed and mostly his acceleration is so good that the opposition winger has to drop back to double up on him. Not only does that reduce the opposition attacking threat (allowing Walker to be more advanced) but it can also open up gaps elsewhere.

Also there is a big danger in breaking the continuity of a team by changing too many players at once. It's important to have the big players from last year all part of the team whilst the new guys are integrated.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree about Dawson to a degree Wulf, but will he want to stay as 4th choice, because that's what he really will be? Also he costs us a lot with his insistence of playing 50 yard passes to the opposing defence!
As for Lennon, he is going to end up behind Lamela, Townsend, and Chadli, so will he want to stay as well . The bloke is brilliant on the ball, but doesn't look up enough for the killer ball!
