Ed. Is Kun Aguero joining Real Madrid?
Apparently he handed in a transfer request. {Ed001's Note - it is possible, but personally I think Chelsea are looking more and more likely right now.}

Yes get rid of keano an crouch. I would like to keep Defoe an pav. Pav is quality when he wants to be. Cavani would be a good buy.

Would like to see ben foster come in with cudicini stay on for 1 more yr.

Get bassong, jenas, Ohara, pieenar (too soon?) kranjkar, bentley out. With Danny Rose looking quality I think LM & LB is covered if bale/ benny gets injured. Would like to see n'zogbia though'nbb

Niko is better than nzogbia so why sell

This is for Spurs fans asking for info on Cristian Ceballos, I cannot confirm UK reports he s signed a 3 year deal with THFC at the moment, but have doubts regarding claims he s expected to make a big impact on the first team within 12 months.
The young La Masia graduate possesses all the technique and ability you d expect from any product of FC Barcelona s youth academy. The outside world first became aware of the small, left footed forward when a video appeared showing him performing tricks with Ronaldinho back in 2008. However, despite his evident skill, throughout his time at the club, there were persistent concerns over his diminutive stature and physique that ultimately led to his release. He recently had a trial at Chelsea, training with the reserves and first team and again, while his technical ability impressed, the London club determined that they would only offer him a reserves contract that reflected their belief that he may be one for the future and were not prepared to offer him a first team contract. The player opted to look for a club gat would offer him a first team contract.
As I said earlier; I can t confirm if he has signed a deal with Spurs, but considering the above especially the fact that FC Barcelona, arguably the club least likely to give up on a player because of his size decided that the player lacked the necessary physical attributes, you d have to question the claim that he s been signed by Spurs to make an impact on the first team within 12 months. But Hey Ho you never know could turn out to be brilliant

Jake.

what type of players do you want us to bring in mate? just want your opinion.

Azza

Agree0 Disagree0

Tottenham have beaten Chelsea to the signing of promising Barcelona youngster Cristian Ceballos i think we got him!

Agree0 Disagree0

I want to see Foster sign for us if not him then this Romanian 21 year old Silviu Lung Jr he is the next Igor Akinfeev he is very promising.

we need Forwards and preferably a one that bags at least 10-15 a season and a young one, i think we should get Papiss Demba Cisse, Moussa Sow, Alex De Souza, Adebayor, Kevin Gameiro, Alexander Frei and i could go on we can get one of these for less than 15-20 mill and they can bag you at least 10 goals and Connor Wickham or Shane Long as back up someone who can improve a lot at a club like us.

we need a experience and old centre back who we can get on a free will do apart from that we are perfectly fine with the players we have got

Agree0 Disagree0

We don't need a old experienced defender. we have Gallas, Woodgate and King. I think we need a young hungry player like Sakho.

Azza {Ed012's Note - I dunno, maybe your right we just have to wait and see but i was hoping to bring in some one like Mertesaker cause he would be cheap. dunno about Sakho i think PSG will want a lot for him

Jake

Agree0 Disagree0

Guillem Balague reckons the real reason he ended up leaving Barcelona was that he was too small. He pointed out that if Barca of all clubs thought he couldn't hack it because of his size, he surely must be too small for any other club, especially a Premier League team. He also says that's why Chelsea never made a move for him, despite being impressed - he's just not big enough. And he also says he can't confirm whether or not we've actually signed him.

Personally i think Defoe is a better player. Pav isn't far off though. Pav is clumsy at times, performs 1 in 3 games. Forget judging Defoe. You can't judge a player who hasn't had a clear run in the team. This also applies for Pav. I blame Harry and his poor team selections.

I respect what you say but i can't agree about Defoe. He hasnt had a clear run in the team because he hasnt been consistent. He scores two great goals one game then bog all in the next three and so on. Everybody says he needs time, he will come good but he never does. Pav comes off the bench then scores two while Defoe never looks like he is going to score. just my opinion, fella!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hi, i am reading your post and want to ask if you go to the games? that is not meant in a bad way, but i have had a season ticket for 10 years, and Pav is one of the worst players i have seen play for us, his first touch is awful, he constantly falls over himself, and hes just no way near good enough for where we want to go. Its a shame because when i saw him in the euros for russia he looked immense

Lspurs

Agree2 Disagree1

Pav is fantastic and should be first choice as he was our second highest scorer and didn't play much. Pav has a stunning shot with either foot good speed positioning and touch and finish what do you say ed

{Ed010's Note -I'm setting myself up for a fall here but in my humble opinion, Roman Pavlichenko on his game, is Spurs' best striker. I agree he can score with both feet and he is good in the air. His positional sense is good but he does come across as being a little lazy sometimes.

Theres so much hate for Harry atm and its all because of the papers saying people who we are linked with

There isn't any hate for Harry but there are questions being asked about his team selections and how our run in to the end of the season has been so poor. Lets not forget, we have one of the strongest squads in the Premiereship yet we have been turned over far too easily by teams that can only dream of having what we have. He then calls people who dare to question his tactics, selections and belief that the season was as good as could be expected "idiots". These are the same idiots who pay through the nose to watch the team, buy the shirts, the merchandise and, obviously, know absolutely nothing whatsoever about the beautiful game. Harry has more riches at his disposal than he has ever had, he manages a team that is better than any he has managed before and he is, allegedly, a brilliant motivator and the players love him. In that case how come the run in was so poor? Did he not motivate his players for that one last push for 4th spot? Bear in mind, City were dropping points all over the place and the Gooners collapsed. We had chance after chance to take the initiative but we didnt. Whos fault is that? The players? the manager, the coaching staff? I tell you who is not to blame, the bloody supporters! We want to hear him tell us of his disappointment of missed chances how he had hoped we would push on, challenge, give it everything. Instead lots of "this is a good as it gets horsesh*t" You know what? Even if you can't fight, you at least talk like you can! What the hell does that tell the best players of our squad? The manager is happy with it all? God help us!

The person who posted the original whinge, you should be ashamed of yourself. and whoever Azza is you too. No wonder Harry is frustrated by the thoughts of people like you. It is Plebs like you who give Tottenham a bad name. Go support that lot down the road, you deserve each other. Morans.

Jake Its not just papers. Its interviews to.
We don't hate Harry. We are disapointed in him.
If hes going to be off in a year to manage England then he has no right spending our transfer money. Especially when hes linking our club with the likes of Green, Freidel, Parker, Upson, Muntari, Forlan, V.Nistelrooy. These players are not good enough for our club.

Azza

Agree1 Disagree0

Maybe your right but i don't think Harry deserves the stick he gets. he is a brilliant manager and at the end of the day its not harry buying the players its levy

Agree0 Disagree0

Those players are too good for your club last year was a fluke, your Europa League standard at best, Harry knows it that's why he'll take the England job, after another season outside the top 4 your players will realise too and the likes of VDV Modric and Bale will go to whoever offers the most, making the Champions League once does not make you a big club, titles, European Cups, World wide fan base and proud histories make big clubs unfortunatly to Spurs you have none of these

Harry didn't sign any of our best players and we should notforget that martin jol got us 5th place 2 years running!

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes, but he lost everybodys confidence, mainly Levy. Thats why he went. Lets bring Jol back then. No? why not??

I have been reliably be informed that upson as signed for spurs. . and that parker and another could be coming in from west ham.
*******
Im sorry but it looks like someone has been fooled. Any manager can see Upson has got to be one of the worst defenders in the premiership.

Do Spurs actually have a team of scouts or does Harry "Dell Boy" Redknapp just read rumours sites like this one fing out who everybody else is interested in and then jumjp on their band wagon? I would have thought that a wheeler-dealer like Harry would have had his ear closer to the ground but seems to me like he just goes for other teams targets! !

Recently i commented about harry doing good business over Pavlychenko. That looks realy slim now after last nights performance. Took two fantastic goals. Could have a huge part to play in europa

Ive been banging on about Pav for ages now. It seems like i was the only person that thought he was a good footballer and the best striker at the club. Ok, that's no big deal as Defoe is crap ( never rated him) and Crouch is one big joke but Pav does score goals and has an all round game that the other two dont. im not saying he is the answer to our goal scoring problems BUT if you are going to sell players, you don't sell Pav, you sell the other two because they will NEVER come good, you truly would be waiting forever.
Oh, nearly forgot. According to Harry, it appears that if you are a supporter and dare question, particularly on phone ins, Redknapp/ Spurs failure to regain that 4th spot this season (considering our virtual collapse in form at the latter half of the season ) you are an idiot. Basically DONT question results, DONT be a critic, DO accept that this our best season evah, DO accept that we are as best as we are going to get and DONT expect the manager to talk the club up and demand that we fight tooth and nail for a top four finish next season. . .Redknapp, you tw*t!

Keep Pav, keep Defoe and sell the other two useless plonkers. (Crouch and Keane)
Pav and defoe could be vital next season with europa on the table. Next season we're aiming to win a trophy. All we need now is one top class striker to parner VDV.

I agree with what you have said about Redknapp.
What makes things worse is when he sticks up for refs and linesmans when they put horrendous decisions against us. you don't see Jose, Alex and Arsene doing that. I hope he walks before he gets his hands on the transfer money. Harry jog on to Chelsea!
Jose, you are the man.

Now these are the times when things start to get interesting.
Who will sign?
Who will leave?

I have a strong link suggesting that Adebayor is really keen on a move to White Hart lane.
Harry has been france to watch several players play, but has come across none that are better then the current strikers we have. This deal looks alive.

Recently i commented about harry doing good business over Pavlychenko. That looks realy slim now after last nights performance. Took two fantastic goals. Could have a huge part to play in europa

Looks like Crouch and Keane are heading for the door. I Finaly think Harry has realised that we do not need Crouch. When he came off yesterday the hole game changed. We were much more fluent.

Personaly i think we should sign Adebayor to replace Crouch and maybe a young hungry striker. Pablo Piatti? Both would be great signings and wouldn't cost us a huge amount. 18 mill for the both.

What do you lot think.
who do we need?

Azza
- - - - - - - - - - -
we need 2 Strikers a defender and a Goalkeeper, Adebayor sounds good, never heard of this Platti bloke (how old is he) but from you said he sounds good, I think we should get Foster not Green or Friedel and finally we should get Matjisen

Believable1 Unbelievable0

We definately need strikers and a goaly.
I would love Ledley King to stay fit because we are much more confident and solid defensively.
I have been going on about a defender for months now but in all honesty do we really need one! We have Walker coming back to fight for a right back spot. We have kaboul who can slot in nicely with dawson (had a great spell together at one point) King, starting to shake off all his major injury problems. khumalo, suppose to be a good defender but hasn't played. Gallas as a back up. Caulker, a hot prospect. Do we really need one? Our left back slot is covered nicely with plenty of competition from the outstanding Rose.

I agree with you. i would take Foster over Green and Friedel anyday. i would have a little look at Shay Given to.

Pablo Piatti is 22 years old Argentine. Quality football in my opinion. I think Harry can turn him into a goal machine.
