I think you should be allowed to post unless you have an email address and sign it off with your name. It's not at least if you need to sign up and you don't get any spam.

Bids have gone in for Ramirez and M' baye Niang (like i said weeks ago) . Im hearing that we have upped the bid for Ramirez. We have also looked at Lewandowski but dont know if we followed that up.
Lots of activity though lads which is what we all want.

The bid was not excepted, but we have already spoken to the player regarding wages etc, heard a rumour he was at bulls cross having a medical yesterday ( unsubstantiated tho). Good signing if we get him!
Agree7

Which one having the medical
Agree0
Disagree1
Ramirez not happening. Levy being a tight c*nt like normal and wont offer him sufficient wages... DL costing us big time! never going to progress with the way he does business
Agree3
Disagree0
Never gonna progress with Levy doing business?? Sorry must be just me but I thought we were a mid-table side before he arrived!!
Stop hating on him and trust that we have 1 of the best in the league when it comes to business

Rossi leaving villeral and spurs need a couple of strikers so he's your man. {Ed008's Note - Out until 2013 with knee injury...
Believable8
Unbelievable6
Apart from the fact that he won't be fit to play till next year he has just said he wants to move to Serie A so I think he's not our man at all

Yesterdays marsaille match remy was missing from the lineup and the presenter said he could be dicussing a move to spurs at the moment and they said the same for loris,so this week cud we sign loris and remy and before the window closes ade and mvilla? those 4 id be very happy with if we sign them soon
Believable9

Remy the new gervinho! No thanks. Lorente is out of our league. As is Damiao now. Ade it is and possibly sessegnon! Rossi wants to leave and would be good, but out until February. Could be cheaper though.
Any of the Ed's got any thoughts on any potential deals for strikers or otherwise?

Talksport have tweeted they believe Remy has agreed terms with West Spam

Newcastle and wet spam also after him apparently.

Must be s*** if wet spam are interested

I think remy could be a hit at spurs. His versatilty's also a useful asset
Agree1

We shoudnt bother with rossi as hes not bound to be fit by 2013..and im not sure about sessegnon..he plays where vdv and sigurdson play..and if west ham do want to sign Remy then i agree that he must be S***

Bilbao president said.......llorente can leave if anyone triggers his release clause. €36million.
Ain't that supposedly what we are getting for modric.
Levy....get in there. Juve won't spend that much. I don't care if he had 1 year left or 4 years. Levy has to bid at least, if we have any chance of moving forward, this is the type we need.
Believable7
Unbelievable4
Probably could get better value somewhere else but levy has left this pretty late and I would agree that he is the type of player we need so I would also say he has to bid. We have made money in the last few transfer windows so surely it's time we spent some of that money and with the modric deal it would only be about 5mil extra max! If we don't sign a big player I fear for our progress, top 4 is a must this season if we want to push on
Agree5
Disagree2
We haven't got anything for Modric yet and there is no sign that Madrid will pay what Levy is supposedly asking. In the meantime, we cannot even contemplate paying £36m for Llorente. We are a big club by the standards of most clubs in Europe, but we are not in that league. Modric is still our most expensive signing at £16.5m and that is not far short of the maximum we should pay for anybody (£20m at a pinch). If we start trying to spend as if we had the revenue of Real Madrid or the bottomless pockets of Sheikh Mansour then we won't be moving forward we will be going out of business.

Levy doesn't have the ambition for Llorente.I think we will finish 7th-8th next season...Cheers Mr Levy.
Agree15

And there was a sell on clause as well cant remember the % but looked like his last team were gonna get a 2 mill or so.

Who ever that was who said we will finish 7-8 needs 2 smile abit i think..thanks for being a misreable sod but no thanks..we will finish 3/4...nice 2 see our own "supporters"having faith!!

Daily mail reporting a fee of 25 mill has been agreed with real? Seems surprisingly low when only last month they apparently bid 36 mill. Maybe a player is included but it's not mentioned. I'd take whatever for him now, dragged on far too long. Go and spend the cash on falcao.

" Daily Mail reporting ....... " kind of says it all, does it not !?

Falcao would cost over £40million. as.com reporting the Modric deal is done for 32m Euro plus add ons. Says Spurs have asked for it to be kept quiet until a replacement is found.
Agree1
Disagree0
25M plus add ons/bonuses
Agree2

It's the mail mate, it's complete fabrication. There is absolutely no reason for levy to suddenly drop 10 million of his valuation. The only way this happens is if there is a player included or there are escalators involved
Agree1
Disagree3
Apparently its Sahin, but he doesnt want to come to spurs.
Agree6
Disagree1
Was it only the media that said Levy wants £35-40m for him? Media always state bigger prices for their story, maybe Levy never wanted that much. Look at Cazorla for Arsenal. Media reported he costs £17-20 million. Arsenal got him for £12.6 million.
Agree3
Disagree1
I appreciate that falcao would cost a few quid but we need someone to score over 20 goals a season and with respect, Harry Kane is not what we need right now.

Apparently Xabi Alonso has said he doesnt want 2 sign a new contract with madrid...so maybe do a striaght swap for modric...i would take that all day long Dapz
Agree2

JM wants Sahin to get playing time that he won't get at RM ...I can see him being loaned to us as part of the Modric package, with all expenses paid by RM - would appeal to the finance folks at the Lane possibly.
Agree3
Disagree1
Any truth to this bid being accepted Eds? {Ed002's Note - Put aside the amounts, a deal has been agreed.}
Agree1
Disagree0
I for one will over the moon when I see him finally gone, this is just ridiculous. Still livid this has dragged on, disrupting pre-season, no time for replacement to settle in. Shambles.
I understand the time for haggling but lets say I am right and we have been disrupted by it, and we do have a naff start, how much will that cost us down the line?

Its true Xabi craves a move to London so he can hit the club scene as his personality would suggest...lol or he might be the sort who plays for meaning, friendship, legacy and glory aka he'll always be a Red!
