No claiming this to be true or anything just looking clarification i read on the 'Kick News' app on my phone that Moutinho has apparently said
"i would like this move to happen, Spurs are a great club with great ambitions & a world class manager. if i was to tell you a deal is done i would be lying, but its very close now i expect to be at Tottenham soon"
any info on this? and again im not stating hes going to sign in near future or whatever im just looking for clarification on the subject
thanks

Hi Ed.. what would u say our chance of signing moutinho is?:) {Ed002's Note - There has to be a chance.}
Agree1
Disagree0
Spurs have been told to talk with moutinho by his agent
Agree1
Disagree0
A good chance? would you bet on it? ;) {Ed002's Note - Spurs lost Modric but stalled over a summer move for Moutinho. Whilst I understand that interest from Spurs remains and efforts are being made to strike a deal, they will need to not only stump up whatever fee Porto think is right but also do a hard-sell on the player, as Moutinho has hinted a move to PSG would suit him best - and PSG are interested.}

Cmon Ed.. tell me if I should place a bet on moutinho... n yeah .. I won't really be cross if u go wrong.. just tell me if there's a good chance..

Hi Eds, with Yann M'Vila looking to be available for a January transfer, do you think Spurs will make another move for him?
I know Spurs have at least 3 quality players in the double pivot position (Dembele, Sandro, Parker) but think he would be a great addition because a midfield 3 of Dembele, Sandro and M'Vila would be great against stronger attacking opponents, and also if the club and going to make any 'major' purchases (ie. Eriksen/Moutinho/Willian) in the ACM position until the summer (with Top 4 finish) M'Vila or Parker could play in the pivot with Sandro, and AVB could utilise Dembele/Sigurdsson/Dempsey in the ACM role.
If he is going to be around the 10m mark, surely must be worth a shot.
Thoughts?
Hass {Ed008's Note - According to Ed002 Spurs had a bid rejected in December around £12m whether a new bid was made I don't know but shall find out. I agree midfield 3 of Sandro-M'Vila-Dembele would be pretty strong allow Dembele to be further forward. M'Vila does favour a move to Arsenal though...

Good player but I'd prefer it if we signed a creative midfielder who's gonna get us 10/15 goals a season. Eriksen is ideal in my eyes!

Double pivot position? Re-inventing the wheel perhaps?
Agree1

Agreed Jermain, if we get Eriksen then we would really be a top 4 side no doubt (obviously a top striker wouldn't hurt aswell). Think we are missing that special player in the middle. No doubt Dembele was the best signing we've made in a long time but can he be a all out AM? I think we'd lose a lot of his other abilities if we push him up there. Open to opinions cheers!

One word:
MOUTINHO, MOUTINHO, MOUTINHO. {Ed013's Note - That's 3 words}

Ok, three words then:
MOUTINHO, MOUTINHO, MOUTINHO, MOUTINHO, MOUTINHO.
Take him over Sneijder (2012), Eriksen or Holtby. If Sneijder - the Prequel (2010) shows up, I might have to reconsider,,,,
Agree2
Disagree0
If you can get holtby for nothing - you'd be stupid not to take him. That being said think we should go for moutinho all day, he has the ability to do what we need and most importantly it is proven him and the manager have a great working relationship...
that and the prophesied arrival of Damiao ( i wish ) and we would be guaranteed top 4. Simples.

Will challenge BAE for that LB role and that frees Naughton to challenge walker on the right

We have signed Fryers from Standard Liege. Ed - isn't Liege one of ENIC's other footballing interests or am I thinking of another European minnow?
Does this mean Liege bought Fryers for a silly amount, thus avoiding the arbitration valuation as Man Utd trained him, and then Levy buys him on the cheap from his own club? If so, good work Levy, you slippery b*****d! lol
Tonytonytone {Ed008's Note - Liege got him for free using the links Spurs have got him for a little fee.

Rumours on a few sites saying we have signed a pre contract with Lewis Holtby for him to sign in the summer.
Ed can you confirm this is true? And does a Pre Contract mean it is concrete?
I've only seen him a handful of times but looks a good player... a lot better than what we have warming the bench... but then my gran would look good against livermore!
NorthernSpur {Ed008's Note - Unlikely he's agreed a pre-contract with Spurs yet although their is interest from Spurs that could see a deal struck. I think he's a good player who could become a very good player. Pre-Contract cannot be broken so yes in your words concrete.Hope that answered your question.

Tottenham trading very quiet at moment. Would of thought they would go back in for moutinho at some stage seeing as he almost signed last transfer window. Any other signings will be probably on the cheap or someone upcoming. Could see tottenham selling a few players too , maybe hot up towards end of January. Llorente will be going Juventus

Got first bit right we just got someone young and on the cheap . ex man united player that we were meant to get in summer FRYERS
