Spurs Rumours Archive August 14 2011

Loads of murmurs around the lane about three players leaving and two big signings being made before the hearts game. One striker and one CB. Personally i don't believe it but it comes from a nailed on source who works at the lodge. I will wait and see

What players were mentioned?

foxspur

I've been told Keane, Modric and Bassong before the European deadlines. Modric will be £30-35m & Drogba, Harry is looking at Cahill offering Bassong + cash and Keane is on his way to LA. Crouch and/or Palacios to Stoke still possible too. Expect busy last couple of weeks at Spurs.

Dan.

Lee Dixon mentioned Drogba to Spurs on MOTD2. Surely this can't be true cos we can't afford his wages?

Top 4 Wannabe

Drogba wants to end his career at Chelsea and thats from him not rumour.
I asked the players involved as I have heard rumours that Keane might go to LA Galaxy and also Palacious to Stoke but Crouch is refusing to step down to a lower team. I also heard that the Cahill deal is cash plus bonus/performance payments.

As for the Modric Rumour, Arsenal might put in a £37.5M bid in on the sale completion of both Fabregas and Nasri, if they fail to get Mata

foxspur

The three out will be keane, gds, and another (not Modric) Spurs looking at 3 CBs... Samba (6m-8m + bassong or bentley), Cahill (same as samba offering), the german guy tascli (sp. £10m + £2m add ons has apparently been offered, he currently wears no. 5 and this shirt has been made available maybe a coincidence).

Spurs linked with loads of strikers the 3 of interest ATM are Adebayor, Eto'o and Falcao... Expect Levy to enquire the availability of the last 2.

Levy wants the following out to reduce the wage bill... Keane, Bentley, GDS, Crouch, Palacios and Hutton.

Willing to listen to offers for Pav, Defoe and Huddlestone but all would have to be £10m+ to be considered.

At the end of the window ideally spurs want 1 CB from the 3 listed above, Lassana Diarra (deal done only fee to be agreed between the two clubs), 2 decent strikers and to keep hold of Modric.

Stuttgart have handed captains armband to delpierre for season which would point to tasci leaving malaga only other club to have bid so far, think the striker will be Abel hernandez & another striker on loan deadline day

When eto'o has moved to i cant remember the russians team name for something rediculous like 300k a week ?

There is a deal in place for eto'o yes but he has stalled on the move citing 'interest from england' believed to be from spurs. He gave a news conference with the Cameroon squad probably searchable in google. Obviously we good not match the wages in a million years but the appeal of the premier league over Russia may be able to sway his decision. Like I said Levy has enquired nothing more ATM.

We would have played our first game yesterday, none of our junk has left, noone has arrived. Probably go lose to hearts before levy realises We are not good enough to win the league. Buy and sell now please, you've had long enough.

I posted on here last week to say that there would be two arrivals and two or three departures this week.
Update:- Hutton injury prevented the sale going through, but it will before the window shuts (aston villa). Gio will also depart (seville), along with Keane, palacios and Bassong (only if we get Samba). jenas may also leave for Fulham, if we get Parker / Diarra
Levy will bring in Diarra, probably Adibayor (spelling) on loan with option to buy. He will make several late, late bids for Rossi, Hulk and Llorente - but these will all fail as the clubs involved won't have time to bring in their replacements.
Another frustrustrating window fdor yod fans with Levy over selling our players and trying to be too clever with replacements for little money.
YOU GOT IT WRONG AGAIN LEVY _ WHERE HAS ALL THE MONEY FROM THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CAMPAIGN GONE???? NCTHFC

Ok, so you posted all this last week, so what? We never had your source then and we dont have it now so there is nothing whatsoever to back anything up, is there? If you have such a downer on Levy, tell us where this info is coming from, you know "Your mate who picks out the dog ends from the troughs at WHL, or summat. At the moment, your posts are no more than an amalgamation of umpteen ive already seen and there is zilch in yours to give me or anybody else reason to suspect that you are ITK.
Another waster.
Super Yid
PS: Guv, if it all goes t*ts up, i will back you 100% fella ; )

Keane to galaxy - bid accepted. Sad to see him go but he's nOt the same old robbie.

Ade deal is 70-30 just finalising money....could fall through if the financial plan should we decide to keep him shoot us in the foot. Llorente will sign unfortunately, would like to have seen Rossi. Cahill will sign for 16.5 mil, a bid had been made. Bentley may go as part of deal to secure RM whilst Chung Lee Is injured.
