Hi eds, are the loic remy reports true. They seem to believe spurs are close to signing him.

{Ed001's Note - they are certainly the only ones to be close to a deal with QPR, but they have yet to sort anything out with Remy. I think he is just stalling in case a Champions League team come in for him though.}
Is it because of the World Cup that no deals are happening, I'm losing patience with the lack of transfers ed 001

{Ed001's Note - the international window doesn't open until the 1st of July anyway. It is only in recent years that people have started to fret before then, because they notice other clubs confirm signings before then. Nobody ever used to admit that signings were done before the window opened, so they could make sure nothing went wrong. Most people normally forget about football for a while straight after the close of the season, then start noticing about now, when signings start coming through. It is because of the World Cup that everyone is so focused on football, they notice if their team hasn't signed anyone. It is quite normal for most teams not to start signing anyone until July, even in a non-World Cup year. So don't stress yet mate, they have targets in mind, though the World Cup can slow things down, as replacement can't be signed for players people want to sell as they are there. This year for Spurs it is more about the change in manager, as this one actually has a say in transfers.}
Oh thanks for the heads up mate. And that extra detail is well appreciated to me as well. A manager actually in charge at spurs, wow.

So far NO signings but not really surprised. Eds' is there any news on A.Cole? He is who I think we should sign for our LB position. Also what's the chance of Mats Hummels? I hear he wants a change and would consider offers from the premiership!
Finally has there been any transfer news wrt Hulk?
cheers

{Ed002's Note - I don't see Ashley Cole as a viable option. There has been no interest in Hummels or Hulk from Spurs.}
Cheers Ed001 appreciate the heads up!

Cole - No Chance - Monaco cheque book already out.
Hummels - Manchester United possible but probably won't move. Spurs not even looking at him.
Add
Balotelli - Never considered and worryingly looking set for Arsenal
Lukaku - Loose interest but now nailed on to move to Athletico Madrid.

{Ed008's Note - I dunno if Balotelli is nailed on for Arsenal hates the English media and Wenger has denied the interest.

I hope Balotelli avoids Arsenal but there was some interest from Spurs who where rebuffed immediately and the news is Arsene Wenger has met both player and agent.
He is an awesome talent and this would be disastrous if he ended up at Arsenal.

I couldn't wish a nicer person on Arsenal. I know his talent is fantastic, but if anyone could f**k up a dressing room, he's got to be your guy

Hey mate, are you forgetting Tim Sherwood, he does a very good job at that!

Are we that desperate we need Ballotelli? Would rather keep Ade! In fact a younger version of Ade! Yes he is brilliant, occasionally!
Agree1

I can't see us nor the Gooners risking Balotelli. No question has has ability, but at the risk of the disruption he has a habit of causing and his lack of form over the last year I doubt Wenger will take him and I'm sure MoPo doesn't need that kind of headache in his first season.

I hope you are all right and he joins Arsenal and messes up their dressing room.
Sadly I fear he will suit their play style perfectly and score 20+ goals a season.
Character bypass for sure, but talent extraordinaire without a doubt.
Liability for Arsenal I hope, but a fear he will be sensational.

I can assure you the only time I wore a red shirt was when I had a nose bleed one day. Sorry if I think Balotelli is world class, and sorry that I think he is going to Arsenal. If that make me a Gooner then I am sorry for that as well.

Lookslike Damien Dussaut could be a new left back for us.
