Ed

Who do you think spurs are realistically likely to sign before a) this weekend and b) before the close of the transfer window?

Good to hear your thoughts.
{Ed008's Note - I don't like speculating but a striker is top of the list whether it be Adebayor,Damiao etc unlikely to sign anyone by the weekend just my opinion...

Now modric sold to real madrid. tottenham may sign sessegnon or mvila but will be battling with arsenal who also are after the same 2 players. Goalkeeper wont be sorted yet but probs not of major importance as we have friedel. be nice if adebayor give in and signed for us before saturday as we wont be getting striker signed before we play newcastle. got to start defoe surely

Arsenal's interest in m'villa has cooled after his disciplinary problems, can't see why they would be after sessengnon {Ed008's Note - I'd imagine if Song goes Barca they would go for M'Vila (my opinion)

I dnt give a flying fig who the filth sign, im just interested in who comes in at thfc. arsen moaner can sign who he likes, cause hes brought some good players, but on the other hand hes brought xsome real rubbishe, let avb get the job done of bringing in top notch players, and let that lot down the road wait another season for a trophy and b4 they say cl football, after all the seasons they have tried winning it ide give up by now

As rat boy has gone i would expect mouthino to be confirmed next week along with a new offer for ramirez. not sure on mvilla. We all know levy will have a signing or some plan going on in the pipe line and behind closed doors,trust him and avb they will come through for us and the club.
I do believe there are plans in motion or why else would Defoe are main striker and only one be heading out the door possibly to seek first choice selection..!

AVB will be a great manager for us and we will thrash Newcastle.

Why not put a bid in for hernandez? with rvp joining and kagawa able to play no. 10, welbeck and chicarito will be on the bench.

We did

You never put a bid in for Hernandez, Spurs don't attract big players

We should defo try 2 sign Hernandez....quality little stiker and would fit in perfectly wih the way we play...and is proven in the pl....Levy sign him up!!!

DAPZ

You do make me laugh it seems every player out there fits into your style of play lol

So we can't bid for a 4th choice striker at a different club? Oh right then. We bid 9 million

So u telling me a young,quick lil player who plays counter attacking ,attractive football isnt suited 2 spurs style of player..ur either a gooner or a manc..either 1s bad enough

A lot of talk of Berba going to Toon cant see him moving from Utd's bench to sit on Newcastle bench perhaps a deal already done for Ba/Cisse as Toon splashing the cash which is unlike them
ou812

I guess with Toon they'd pay him enough but it does seem weird given their striking options already. We should get him, we don't seem close to forking out £20m+ for so called top players (most mentioned are actually unproven in the Prem gambles) so let's know our (spend) level and get a proven Prem goalscorer in, well two of them by getting Ade done as well.
Those who disagree, please think about whether you're happy with Defoe and Kane as only forwards or whether Ade and Berbs plus those two would be better!? It certainly looks like Damaio, KJH, Llorente, Hulk etc are pipe-dreams at best.

Berba can do one! Id rather my cat up front, he crys too when he doesn't get his way!

As it stands mate your cat up front will be the option! We got over £30m for him and could now get out of a hole for £5m, you do the maths when we have nobody else and he still scores goals.

We made a good profit on him but why should we try and sign someone who didn't want to play for us?!

Why? Because we're desperate and won't fork out big-bucks, therefore he's cheap and proven quality.

I will get slammed for this but just asking the question..does anybody think a masterstroke could be on the cards..a marquee signing of epic proportions..Hulk says he is leaving porto for epl or spain..most top teams have spent their wad other than man city..united will on rvp and chavskis on host of others gooners also..could hulk with link too avb supprise everyone..dont think he has banged on about CL like others..with modders money and bit extra we could afford him and he could end up making difference between top four and failure.
Thoughts please..btw barca done their cash as to real if they sign modders. Dreaming maybe but stranger things have happened.

ANT

Think you need to put the pipe down mate Hulk if any club would be the chavs As for us we are finished in the market as i put earlier.

Skids

Mate i dnt see it happerning but it would be great..i can see us signing 4 more players though...Ceaser,adebayor,m'vila and Gaston ramirez
DAPZ

Ant I wish your correct. But looks like we have done our cash too. If we are lucky we will spend 10-15 mil of the 27 mil we get from modders
Tight wad levy is turning us into west ham with loan players
Mr g
Levy outtttttt

Skids.. there is no way we are finished in the market .. you gotta be gooner trolling

Minimum £35m plus at least £120k a week to even get near matching the likely offers of mega-bucks from Chelski, Schitty, PSG or Russia.....would think there's no chance, even if he was dying to team up with AVB. No way Porto are going to take the lesser fee even if he would be happy with doubling his money rather than trebling it.

Sky Sports sources understand that Luka Modric is to fly to Spain tomorrow to finalise a move to Real Madrid from Tottenham.

Fulham to make triple bid for Spurs outcasts. Bassong, Bentley and Jenas could soon be heading to the cottage. Expect the deals to be completed before transfer window closes.

I like martin jol but i feel sorry 4 fulham fans if they get this lot looool
dapz

Ah they all have their merits, and flaws. All three perfect for Fulham though.

I don't know if Owen is true but I can say I work
At the Mayfair hotel and he was in conference with representatives of a London club.this was 2 weeks ago
What do you think ed? {Ed008's Note - I remember Owen tweeting couple of weeks ago he had made his mind up over a move so could be true past his best in my opinion.

Please please dont even consider owen things cant be that bad surely

Gaston Ramirez will join Liverpool as they have Suarez and Coates which will help him settle in so thats it

I think that when his agent mentioned we bid for him, he was talking in the past tense so it could have been a few weeks ago, possibly when there was all that talk of rafa leaving and b4 we got sig

My friend runs his own independent betting shop and has just slashed the odds on him joining southampton to evens. not saying its def gonna happen but he rarely gets things wrong

Cant see them payin out for another centre mid after allen fella. to much money for him!!

M'vila bid has been increased to £18 million. Source : gmf

Yann M'Villa only wants to join a Champions League club. Also he's having trouble getting a reception for Channel Five on his TV so won't be able to watch replays of himself in the Europa League if he joined Spurs. Looks like a deal breaker.

Of course he could invest some of his vast wages in a digital tv box and thereby receive c5 in all its digital glory.

Please Please tell me this is not true we are gonna be making a bid for Nicklas Bendtner,

Got to be a gooner ^^ hes nothing,hes a championship player at best

It's not true...

Dom

Bendtner has refused to move to Spurs citing the reason " I'm waiting for someone like a Wigan to make contact, they've more chance of making the Champions League than Tottenham".

Mate ur either a gooner or ur mad...coz this aint happerning Lolll

If he does join,that means Ade won't be coming back,as they hate each other.
Anyway,Bendtner said he wanted to go to a team playing CL football.

Just Reading around the web on all the transfer news. surely with Defoe asking about his future we would have 1 or maybe 2 strikers in the pipe line?
