Eds, any idea if we are going back in for Son Heung-Min? I've been reading up about him, sounds like he would be a quality edition to the squad. He can play any where across midfield, or as a forward. Has pace and a eye for goal. {Ed008's Note - Average player for me, haven't heard anything from Hamburg if a deal can be done.

Im sure I posted this last week about the player....

yod mark

I don't want that hamburg player in tottenham squad he isn't going to improve us. If we are getting holtby early its pretty certain no more midfielders will be joining. I think we will sign one striker and that's it

Kaka on loan ?? Just heard a whisper! {Ed008's Note - He's off to Milan more or less.

It is absolutely true that spoke to Diego Kotscho about his only player Kaka. The preliminary discussions were 3 weeks ago and we were told to forget it as he was 100% joining AC Milan.

It was abundantely clear that LA Galaxy were given 2nd refusal after willing to meet the financials should the deal fall through with AC Milan.

In summary - Utter nonsense!

the Oracle

I heard the milan move is off {Ed008's Note - It's all about agreeing who pays his wages that's the only part that needs to be agreed.

Oracle...there you are. Ignoring the banter page are you?? Thought so.
Big brave boy you are.
You just said that someone's post was utter nonsense.
Taken a leaf out of your book I see.

COYMFS.

Utter nonsense, Oracle?

The words 'utter' and 'nonsense' come to the forefront of my mind when you are talking about Damiao arriving.

TSGMO

COYMFS you are a foul mouthed outrageous little swine, even you name deonstrates your intellectual level. FOr the record I am not interested in what people are writing on the banter page, you seem to have your filth all over it so please refrain from bothering me and stick to your level on there.

Ed, any news on Negredo coming to the Lane? {Ed008's Note - Theirs interest in the player I expect a bid from Spurs for the player when I don't know, Sevilla need to sell wouldn't surprise me if it dragged on till the last day of the window.

With Damiao on his way we have no intention and don't need to buy Negredo. I think he is a really top quality player mind you, and whoever gets him will be laughing all the way tot he bank.

The Oracle

Is this 'Oracle' a collective or does he really live on this site posting about Damaio day in, day out, at all hours? He must be a Gooner intent on winding Spurs fans up with his nonsense.

If he is that confident, will he agree to cease posting if he hasn't signed by 31 Jan......this year!?!

If ED would prefer I didn't post again if I am proved to be wrong, then I will consider your proposal.

When I am right however, I will expect boo boys like you to refrain from abusing every person who places a rumour on this RUMOUR site.

The Oracle

Oracle

I'm glad you refer to your posts as rumour and not fact, clearly you admit rumours made by you.

You state if you are proved to be wrong, well how could that be if you already know he has signed.

You always make the same factual claims that turn out to be absolute utter nonsense.

Stop pretending your knowledgeable you make out you are involved in our actual transfer discussions which your clearly not as you are always wrong.

Marc

That's the thing oracle. You have never been right with your own exclusive.
You regurgitate media rumours as your own. You speak in a demeaning manner to the normal spurs fans that post on here. You use a style of English and a few name drops to try to make yourself sound clever. this has gone in for years now without you ever producing actual fact. Can you understand why poster/readers on this site have had enough of your condescending comments.
By the way, ignoring comments/posts you don't like, doesn't make them go away. We can all read them.

COYMFS.

Oracle.....I know a way you can shut all these 'naysayers' up.

If you are so confident about damaio, take up all these proposals, win the bet and laugh at them.
Unless, you don't really know about damaio.
You have the ability to finish all this once and for all but, somehow, I don't think you will.

AVB quoted in the sun (not reliable I know). "We are aware of the striker situation but think we can cope until Ade comes back and we have done ok without him before".
Doesn't sound like we are going to be buying anyone this window does it?

Billy

If it is a quote, it's not really a big deal. It's more than likely that it DOES mean we are trying to sign a striker.

Just a thought
Like all if us as I said before I'd love a 20-30m striker but why the panic over ade going, he's going to get natch sharp hopefully bag a few goals come back confident and he is only away until 11th feb
He will miss 4 games, 1 of which is Leeds and I'd hope he would start obika / Dempsey and rest J.D
I don't think we will get a striker this month
Essex spurs

If Defoe gets a knock then what until mid-Feb? It is a ridiculous situation and we've been pretty lucky to date but, with FA Cup, Europa League two-legs against French title challengers and, every Premier League game more like a cup-final as the weeks tick by we are thin on the ground. The defence has coped with injuries but, Sandro is out and if Dembele is injured we are already struggling for a main man in the middle, Scotty still early into his return, there is NO cover for a main striker and we have had most of the season with only one to pick so often forcing us to play a certain formation. Dempsey is not good enough, regardless of his tap in yesterday, Sigurdsson hasn't played enough and isn't a striker either. It is quite clear that we could've comfortably won the game yesterday (and several others) with a top striker either partnering Defoe or replacing him at some point. How often do Lennon and Bale get the space to deliver but nobody to pick out?!

If we aren't careful we could do a Newcastle. Dembele or parker injured..or worse, both!

We'd have Tom huddlestone to turn to....that is worrying.

Dempsey is good enough. Scored a decent amount of premiership goals for Fulham.

Give him a starting role and he will bang them in.

Have you watched him closely? Sorry but a touch that is far too loose most of the time, can't knock his effort and he will pop up with some goals but when comparing him to VDV as they play similar roles....no contest. Dempsey is fitter and that's about it.

I reckon Dempsey will end up with more goals and more assists than Rafa this season. He's fitter, better work rate, scores and assists goals and cost us £6m. Great bit of business by Levy! That's not saying I didn't love having Rafa in the team because he was a player I always dreamed of having at Spurs.

I'll take Dempsey over Ade at least he works hard ...and I'd rathe use JD as an impact sub for the last 20-30 minutes of a game to put it away . We need a goal scorer more than anything on the whole we create chances we just are not converting them ...yes we will get locked out occasionally by a team parking the bus ...but if we had someone that could give us 20-25 goals a season those games wouldn't hurt so much.
