Can any of the eds tell have we bid for Griezmann?

Thanks

{Ed002's Note - Yes.}

Please god have this man in a spurs shirt!

Cheers ed. I see we have had a £15m bid rejected. Any truth we are going to bid £20m?

Thank you.

{Ed002's Note - I have no interest in discussing money.}

He is worth £26.4m if you believe the statisticians who are normally fairly accurate.

We all know that there is certainly interest and a bid around £22m should secure him.

{Ed002's Note - There is a fixed fee they will accept. Spurs are wasting their time bidding below that.}

Haha statisticians calculating the price of a player . what's the number to activate the release clause? meet that and we can discuss personal terms with the player.

I believe it is £24/25m Yellow Card.

its official, weve just signed ben davies and vorm . get in there .

Strange when I reported this weeks ago I was ridiculed. Lloris will be off to PSG shortly, all agreed weeks ago.

Okay, so you landed a couple of transfers correctly, but why would Lloris sign a 5 year deal, and leave, and openly admit to wanting to stay. And then what, our only available options are Vorm and Friedel. Don't be silly.

Hugo will be away next summer. Signing new deals don't mean anything in today's market . Only to increase value if anything

This site is full of hypocritical people that add very little themselves and throw stones from greenhouses.

It seems you are domed when you get it wrong and doomed when you get it right.

Lloris extending his contract simply adds value to any potential transfer. PSG will stump up the cash and he will be off very soon.

I didn't mention next Summer, and then a lot of that depends on what we do this year.

At the same time if we have Hugo tied down to a long term deal we would be talking a huge amount of money, and I do not see a 30 year old Vorm being the long term replacement for a goalkeeper who is a) World Class and b) 3 years younger.

Nonsense.

Our two keepers are Vorm with Friedel.

PSG have already offered the money we need, Levy just trying to get another £8 million to boost the transfer kitty.

{Ed008's Note - Contracts mean nothing in Football these days only yesterday Astori a Cagliari defender signs a new contract next day he's joined Roma only in Football..

Oracle, How much does Levy want for LLoris?

Oh Oracle, you are constantly hoisted by your own petard if you didn't use words like guaranteed, definite, a hundred percentage then you wouldn't be slated so much. Everyone loves a rumour and to be given hope of the impossible signing you just need to learn how to play your crowd

25 Jul 2014 17:14:18
@ Oracle, do you really consider Vorm to be our replacement for lloris for the rest of the season?

I sincerely hope this is not the case. I believe he is a good back up, at best.

As I stated above, this is nonsense, and the reason for it is because we would not be able to replace a Goalkeeper of Lloris, unless we managed to gain a march on other clubs signing Casillas for a very low fee.

25 Jul 2014 22:02:36
He is our replacement for Lloris, face it PSG have got him.

Sorry to do this oracle. This is a post you posted a few months ago.

Daniel Levy is about to put every single doubter to shame over the summer, and Franco Baldini will have his chance to redeem his purchases.

Firstly we all know that Louis Van Gaal is coming to take over the helm. Sherwood will be sacked at the end of the season, and Van Gall will begin the massive rebuilding plans.

Firstly Roberto Soldado will be used as a play weight with Athletico Madrid for Diego Costa. Levy will obvious try the straight swap, but expect Soldado + £15m to be nearer the mark.

Next we will see Lamela traded in a straight swap for Mario Balotelli. With both valued around £28m which on paper sound fair, but Lamela is out of form and Balotelli is on fire. However Lamela has real pedigree in La Liga with Roma, and Balotelli has had his usual disagreements with the club.

Then we will see Gomes released and wait for it Lloris sold for £30m to PSG. In will come Stekelenburg from Fulham for £8m.

I have my hard hat on so let me have it!

The Oracle

I must admit you did get the Vorm thing correct but only after it was in the media. No mention ever of Davies or a new contract for Hugo. I've read back through your 'predictions'. They did make me chuckle hence the 'copy and pasting' I have supplied.
Great work tho. Keep it up.

Well Oracle the question remains what have PSG offered that Levy wants 8m more.

Even if Vorm is our new keeper, there is no way we can go into the new season with Friedel as backup - it would be financial suicide if Vorm gets an injury.

COYMFS - you need a life on a Friday night . Searching back all that way to find the one time Oracle was wrong :-)

It was just an example yellow. He is always wrong though. This post was a gem. Just wanted to share. By the way, because of the ed's amazing work on here, searching takes seconds and it nullifies the wife's moaning in the background as I secretly chuckle to myself :-)

My god yellow, you are right. The guy has got me obsessed :-).
I love reading 'itk' but, as on other sites, the poster contributes the itk name ie, gards, jj, the goat. I just wish oracle would do that instead of claiming it to be all his own info. Now a regular 'nonsense' post would be great on here oracle. Avid spurs followers will know what I mean. Maybe I should just stick to news now instead if getting myself wound up :-)

I think we all love reading ITK and dreaming of what might be, it's part of being a fan of any team. For some reason our club excels at letting us dream and then letting us crash back down to the Europa League.
