Use our rumours form to send us spurs transfer rumours.

Hi eds, we keep hearing about RM wanting to and going to sign Bale, but then we hear he wants to stay. We have also heard that before Paulinho signed he was told that Bale is staying, and that AVB has been told he is staying. Is this coming from DL's mouth do you think, and do you think that Bale wants to stay? If he does, why doesn't he just come out and say it? Also, why are agents allowed to meet other teams and try to push their clients, surely this is just another form of tapping up? I really hope that this doesn't go on through out the whole transfer window, DL should set a date that this is sorted by,
Thanks Eds {Ed002's Note - For now it seems he would like to stay at Spurs. I'll Caveat that with the transfer window only being three days old.}

Bale and his agent are not stupid, if Bale states he wants to stay and a week later Madrid offer 100m (not going to happen) Levy couldn't turn that down, Bale would be in a very sticky situation, I'm sure he wants to stay for at least 1 more season but he knows, you know, we all know anything can happen in football!

Levy would have to turn even 100m down now given that he has promised a player and the manager that Bale is going nowhere. Otherwise he becomes completely untrustworthy.

This is probably why he is not even listening to offers so he cannot be tempted!

Agree0 Disagree0

He's got 3 years left on his contract. Or is it 4? I can say as an Arsenal fan, we'd fear you more with Bale in the team than with a few more players who don't have the quality he does. He's irreplaceable in my opinion. You need to keep him at least until you're in the champions league so with the money you receive you can attract players of a higher quality.

Qpr are rumoured to what Parker for only 2mil. We all have mixed views on him but for the sake of 2 mil shouldn't we just keep h as a squad player
Mr g {Ed008's Note - I'd think its best he moves on he is on high wages I believe..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

There's only soo many times one can do 360's in a football match and Parker exceeds that. Livermore should go too he is absolutely shocking and I can't handle watching him ever again. Tbh I would rather keep Parker than Livermore. Hopefully Huddlestone goes aswell making room for Tom Carroll, Paulinho and whoever else.

Agree0 Disagree0

I would agree but financially it'd be better to sell Parker over Jake, can't sell loads of CM and leave ourselves a little short in the middle though.
KMB

Agree0 Disagree0

I am going to miss Parker running around in circles and then passing backwards. We used to have bets on how many times he would do it each half for a pint might have to watch more QPR to continue the game.

Not a rumour but met Michael Dawson at a pet place earlier. Had a brief chat and I must say what a lovely guy he seemed really positive for next season and said he couldn't wait to get started. I work in school an he was more than happy to have some pictures taken and interact with children. A sign that not all footballers are bad people. A credit to our club! Did try to ask about any transfers but got a usual knows nothing about ins or outs.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

You met him at a pet place and a school at the same time? Hmm

Agree0 Disagree0

I work in a school but was on an educational trip. I work with SEN children and that's why I wasn't in school. I wouldn't lie about such a pointless thing haha

Agree0 Disagree0

An educational trip to a pet shop?
How times have changed.
My school went to corfe castle.

Could someone just clarify the injury situation of both Sandro and Kaboul - will they be ready for the start of pre-season? Two immense players who will feel like two free signings.

Thanks,

Jay.

There is a concern with kabooooom! As there is with huddlestone which is why I think we will struggle to offload tom

Agree0 Disagree0

Just regurgitating some info I have read on other forums, Hudds suffers from bone on bone on his ankle joint which needs to management. Kaboul apparently has a very similar knee condition. He could be another Ledley K, again itll need careful management. Maybe one of the Eds could shed more accurate light?

i don't really no much about soccer i'm american but there is a lad next door to me here in phily says that spurs are 1 of the best teams in the world and g bale is prob as good as pele is this true, he said there is a supporters club in a pub he goes to and that I can go to see the first match against c palace, is that were the queen lives. God Speed. TOM

Obvious troll is obvious

Agree0 Disagree0

All correct Tom.

Agree0 Disagree0

As a Spurs man in Philly and member of our supporters group in town, I would like to say we have no affiliation with this clown! Lol. Smells like a trolling Gooner.

Since when do people in America say 'lad'?
Anyway, this 'lad' is obviously a comedian.
Deluded Spurs fans as usual.
Nowhere near as good as he suggested to you ha ha!

maybe I will stick to baseball as i'm not welcome at the spurs supporters bar, someone has posted you aren't that good really and g bale is ok but on the way from spurs, if he is as good as the guy I know says then you should get at least 100m for him maybe with a few players threw in aswell that guy ronaldo is meant to be good hope you go for him and 100m. God Speed to all spurs fans. TOM

is it just me when I think that the money spent on paulinho could have been invested in parts of the squad that are far more deprived in talent. we really don't need to spend so much on a player whose position is already well catered for. we should spend the money on a new striker (villa or Damaio) and maybe a left back (Jetro Willhelms)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

That position won't be well catered for if Hudds, Parker and Livermore go.
He is an upgrade on those 3, making our squad stronger. It also saves wages and gets our squad size down.
It's like buying cavani and selling adebayor, Defoe and Kane.
Now, you wouldn't argue about that, would you?

Agree0 Disagree0

Paulinho is costing us £17m. Fernandinho cost City £34. Paulinho keeps fernandinho out of the Brasil team, you do the maths. In my opinion it's a very good bit of business.

Agree0 Disagree0

With that been said: what's the reasons behinds selling Defoe & Ade and bringing in Villa & Sal - surely that just replacing our ageing srike force with a new ageing strike force +1 year? I understand bringing Villa for more of a marketing stunt and to use his knowledge but Sal? surely we should be looking for someone younger, otherwise in 2 years we going to be in the same spot. IMO.

Agree0 Disagree0

And we will be in CL then and will invest in better! Also, Ade and Defoe, sorry just spent last season being proved, they ain't good enough!

Agree0 Disagree0

People seem to forgot defoe carried the team for a while at the start of the season and was s**thot.
Useful player when onform and someone who chips in with goals from difficult changes. On the other hand he's greedy and when he's offform he costs us games with this greediness

Agree0 Disagree0

So would I be right in saying that spurs are after both villa and soldado?

My mate (a gooner) was laughing at me as they signed sanogoo amd were about to sogn paulinho. What is this guy playing at, sanogoo is average

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I doubt you have ever seen Sanogo play. And he is still a young player and has a lot of time to grow and improve. Bale wasn't always the player he was now you know.

Just because a player signs for a rival does not mean they are automatically an 'average' player. I am under no illusion that Paulinho will be a top signing for you lot, and I would hope that you guys would appreciate the talent or potential of a player no matter what team they play for.

Ted

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree ted. That's why we are trying together 2 Croatian boys.
You need to direct those comments at gooners too

Agree0 Disagree0

Ted, you need to educate your fellow arsenil cronies, as all I have read on blogs is gooners slating spurs fans for bigging up the 2 Croats we are in for.
I read spurs fans saying exactly the same as you and gooners saying exactly the same as we supposedly have.
Look at home first before critisising ours.

Agree0 Disagree0

Give me Halilovic over Sanogo ( whatever his name is) anyday. Different positions I know but Halilovic will be world class.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sanogo was free. How much is halilovic? (potentially)
