Chamak to tottenham is the latest.......I think that covers every striker in Europe being linked with us. However, gallas captain? Hudd left out of the squad, is the worst striker to ever play for Arsenal signing for us that unbelievable? It wouldn't surprise me.

Rufus

Believable5 Unbelievable11

If that happens and we really do take him from the Gooners, I will take back everything ive said..... : /
I think im on safe ground tho.

Agree5 Disagree2

Absolutely 0% chance of us signing Chamakh. Never in a million years.

Agree3 Disagree3

There better be no chance, if that happens I don't think I could carry on living! I would be that upset! Ade plus a big money signing this week please Mr Levy!

Agree2 Disagree2

19 Aug 2012 23:03:03
According to the daily mirror spurs could be getting chamakh on loan from the scum!...absolute joke if this happens! Levy get the check book out we are not moving foward!

Believable4 Unbelievable7

Lol thanks for taking him guys, we will throw in Squillaci for free

Agree5 Disagree0

This is def not true.
Arsel only deals with Manchester clubs.

Llorente medical tommorow. Fee agreed at £26m approx

Believable5 Unbelievable12

Would love it to be true but what proof or sources do you have?

Agree2 Disagree0

Too good to be true... So nice try mate, any source or proof?

Agree2 Disagree0

God, another one.
I heard he is sharing a cab from the airport with messi.

Agree4 Disagree0

Where you get this from?

Agree1 Disagree0

Source!

Agree1 Disagree0

It's prob a newspaper source.
Prob the same one as saying chamakh on his way.

Agree2 Disagree1

Probably and its probably the daily fail...

Agree2 Disagree0

He didn't say llorente was having a medical with us. Probably why we are being linked with Chamakh. Please don't let this be true.

Agree2 Disagree1

Fair point m8

Sturridge, Meireles *(or is it Merciless) 15m pounds for Modric. Not a bad offer, is it? Chelski value Sturridge at £15m pounds and *Messiless at £8m pounds. This is 11m pounds or more than Real's valuatn of Rat Boy.

SpursMe!

Believable2 Unbelievable5

If this was true,,it woudnt be a bad deal...meireless isnt a bad palyer but we could get better and sturridge would be a gd asset 4 the club and 15 mil to get maybe ade and sum1 else in...but this is abit far fetched....

Agree1 Disagree0

Well we value Modric at £35-40mill but doesn't sound like that's what we'll get so Chelsea are living in cuckoo land; Sturridge about £8m (only because of striker premiums as they aren't out there for less than daft money as we know too well). Meireles, £7-8m max.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2012 22:45:28
our big money signing striker.....michael owen

Believable3 Unbelievable1

I can see this happening. Ade will come and Owen to be back up for both ade and Defoe

Agree7 Disagree1

I'm not liking the idea of Ade, if he wanted to come this whole mess over his wages wouldn't have been so big ...I worry about what commitment he has to us if we sign someone else during this window or in January and AVB rotates them.

Agree2 Disagree0

It isnt his wages that ar the problem..he has a clause in his contract that he is entiteld to 20% of and transfer fee for him..city dont want to pay that because they want to sell him for cheap which means they wont get much back...ade knows where ever he ends up he has to take a pay cut

Adam Johnson is holding off a move to Sunderland in the hope Tottenham make a move for him. This is likely to drag on until the latter stages of the window

Believable7 Unbelievable1

If tottenham got any sense they should grab johnson and adebayor this week {Ed008's Note - A.Johnson more likely to go Sunderland guaranteed 1st team football..

Agree2 Disagree0

Adebayor and Johnson to spurs in a joint £10m move. May also try to get Kolarov on the cheap to compete with BAE

Agree7 Disagree2

A johnson not coming to spurs . Heard it will be liverpool or sunderland..Ashame though thats if he leaves of course

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Aug 2012 22:16:45
Ed here's 1 for u: we got money for a striker weather mod stays or goes. Correct? So could it be the striker is comming from rm. hence y we haven't got 1
Mr g
Crazy I know {Ed008's Note - So who's the striker then ? Certainly not Higuain or Benzema.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Callejon? {Ed008's Note - Unlikely Mourinho is a fan of him but he's more of a winger form me hardly prolific...

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes they going to let us have ronaldo and benzema in exchange for ratboy {Ed008's Note - I can confirm this deal above has been agreed subject to a medical.

Agree3 Disagree1

What has been agreed subject to a medical? the Modric deal? {Ed008's Note - Lol i was joking i was on about Ronaldo and Benzema being swapped for Modric.

Agree1 Disagree0

Lol nice one I like your banter Ed008

foxspur {Ed008's Note -

Agree1 Disagree1

Funny guys, but seriously Jese and Morata are possibilities on loan at least.

Agree0 Disagree1

Hello with all the attemps to find a big front man and with no luck so far do you feel has though there is a good chance of carroll comming has dimiao,lorrente, arnt going to happen and ade isnt prepared to loose the money he is getting at city so is carroll a viable option or is it just a rumour ?

Believable2 Unbelievable3

I hope its a rumour!!

Agree2 Disagree2

Liverpool fans like him ,newcastle fans loved him looks really good for england. one of the few people who dont rate him is lfc manager ,think he would jump at the chance to play for spurs and for me would offer you more than adebayor.

Agree1 Disagree2

Certainly a cheeper option than ADE but Andy Carroll IMO is Overrated. Yes he had 1 good season at Newcastle that was it. Sorry but I for one don't want him...

Agree2 Disagree0

I'd have him at the lane!

Agree2 Disagree4

19 Aug 2012 20:32:42
How true is it Ed that Spurs could have an interest in Walcott? {Ed008's Note - 0%

Believable1 Unbelievable3

19 Aug 2012 20:09:25
think spurs are certs to sign carroll if avb rates him ,i ll be gutted as i was hoping hed come ..del

Believable4 Unbelievable6

Why would AVB rate him ?

Agree2 Disagree1

19 Aug 2012 19:55:39
Just had a mad thought; perhaps you readers or Eds could pour cold water on my flame...

If AVB is hinting that Modric money would help bring in a striker; and as all Spurs fans know we must already have money / is it possible we need "HUGE" amounts of money for our new striker??

I mean could it be a mega price tag; top striker?? {Ed008's Note - What expensive striker were you thinking of then ? Heskey ? I can't see them spending that whole amount of money on 1 players possibly need 2-3 additions still.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Excuse me; but Heskey, have you been drinking?

We were linked with Adrian and Rondon early in the window - neither panned out..
Then the Damaio situation stirred up, then went away..

Are we really to believe our attempts to improve and move forward now hinge on bring in Adebayor, who is over-rated over paid and needs 5 attempts to score 1 goal?! {Ed008's Note - Heskey is underrated and he's a proven goalscorer ;)

Agree1 Disagree0

What planet you on {Ed008's Note - Planet Earth you?

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed your Heskey justification sounds alot like the Saha one i heard last year?

Why are we wasting time with this short term thinking.. spend some money, however much we have - and fix the problem! {Ed008's Note - I can't believe people are thinking I'm serious about Heskey just a joke guys relax

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2012 19:33:02
I'm reading that modric deal us on the verge of collapse? If there is any truth in this and he stays with us do we have to go the rest of the season with ONE senior striker?

Rufus {Ed008's Note - Possibly Chelsea have came in with a offer that suits AVB more but Modric is holding out a deal for Madrid we think.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

The only winners in all this are spurs. We now either get a deal that's suits or modric stays.

Agree2 Disagree0

If he stays what about us scoring goals?, it's not like he chips in with many......

Rufus

Will city want to keep ade for a while now aguero injured

Believable2 Unbelievable7

Why would they? They have 4 strikers ahead of him in the pecking order. And i would imagine they would buy another striker before using ade.

Anyone know if llorente is in
Athletico Bilbao squad today ? {Ed008's Note - Nope

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Nope = I don't know or
Nope = no he isn't


It's nope he isn't ....! {Ed008's Note - Really? If i didn't know i would say i don't know i don't have to say he isn't it's not that hard to understand! FERNANDO LLORENTE ISN'T IN THE ATH BILBAO SQUAD FOR TODAYS GAME!!! Happy ?

Agree9 Disagree0

Your one moody sod the fella asked a question "does anyone know if he is in the squad" ED you replied no , meaning you don't know maybe you should be a bit clearer with your posts

No mate the lad wasn't in the squad nor was Bayern bout javi Martinez , hopefully good news for spurs not arsenal !!

Ed ? Cheer up and give us some reliable news one day please
!!

Essex yiddi
{Ed008's Note -I'm stressed out like all the Spurs fan on this website lol I apologise, trust me i would give you news if i knew of any and what you mean reliable lol ? I've never given any dodgy news to you lot except last summer when i said Damiao was signing but he didn't just got given the wrong info...

Agree3 Disagree0

Dont worry about it Ed, we all have them days every now and then - I know I do!!

Agree2 Disagree2

19 Aug 2012 18:01:08
Loic remy not In the marseille squad today not too sure about his fitness but could he be one of the strikers we are looking at and I know marseille are in money troubles so you never know? Spurs been watching him for a couple of seasons

H the yid

Believable2 Unbelievable3

AVB does not want Remy; we was a Harry target..

This is starting to become all too familiar - now AVB having to say Kane is our third choice, probably as Levy won't buy 1 quality striker let alone 2?!

Agree4 Disagree1

19 Aug 2012 17:01:49
Huddlestone going on loan to west ham or fulham.

we have enquired about merieles and sturridge and have offered modders however regardless if he goes to real, we still want the above two.

we have enquired about adam johnson however he isnt a priority and as a sunderland boy, expect to lose out which is a shame - top player.

still looking for buyers for

bentley - mk dons want him
bassong - may be off to southampton or west ham
dos santos - 3-4 enquiries however still in negotiations to swap with cesar
jenas - QPR

adebayor will go through this week.

L10

Believable6 Unbelievable5

What utter twaddle!

Agree5 Disagree4

Which bit mate? most if it is accurate, shame you have been getting your info from the daily mirror! mug!

L10

Agree0 Disagree0

L10 I personally think you would struggle to read the Daily Mirror ! and all of it you deluded fool .Not any of what you have stated will happen , there is only one mug and he is reading this now!

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2012 16:02:52
If I got anything from the game yesterday, I would say JD is a good player but unfortunately playing with a high line and pressing hard for the ball, we need that quality player that can hold the ball better in order to bring the rest of the team into play, also allowing us a rest as playing as we did we will use a lot of energy.

Ade is obviously a player that we will sign if he sorts out his differences with Citeh but I believe we also need another player similar as competition for him if and when he ever signs. Llorente to me is that player so please DL hurry up sign those two players before our next game... I also think the we missed a good deal with Arouna Kone, he will be Wigans' star player along with Jordi Gomez...

foxspur

Believable8 Unbelievable2

Llorente is going to arsenal along with sahin on loan so the 15mill from sale of 24 from sale of rvp will be used for a striker and defender

Agree3 Disagree14

And your evidence about llorente is???
Or is this just your opinion.
Don't believe French reports just yet, as Spanish and Italian reports say he is off to either chavski, spurs or juve.
So join the que mate

Agree2 Disagree4

Guillem Balague has mentioned that Spurs have enquired about Llorente and the player himself is interested in a move but Spurs are yet to meet the clubs valuation of the player.

My opinion was I would prefer Llorente to Ade as history shows, Ade loses interest quite easily. He did however do a very good job for us. I'm just wondering if it was mainly because he had a point to prove...IMO...

foxspur

Agree6 Disagree0

If ade wanted to come, instead of trying to screw city into the ground he should have been here for the first game of the season, so he can do one!

Agree8 Disagree0

I have no evidence until he signs on the dotted line also have no evidence that spurs are looking at carroll and berbetov so lets see just passing on info that may prove true or be bs lets wait n see

Agree0 Disagree0

Llorente will either go to spurs or juventus

Agree3 Disagree0

19 Aug 2012 15:15:27
Heard Joe Jordan earlier saying that Tevez was our number one target last January!

Believable3 Unbelievable4

Typical spurs. Trying to buy the unbuyable and everyone else sails by.
Levy needs to get realistic I think.
Speculate to accumulate.

Agree6 Disagree1

Yeah right, Levy Harry and Jordan must have known he was on 200,000 plus a week and we ended up with number 2 target Saha on 50,000 a week!!!!!!!!!!

Agree5 Disagree1

19 Aug 2012 14:09:33
St Etienne's Aubameyang is getting linked today and to be fair looked a very good young player last season. Could be worth a gamble he looks sharp, pacy and pretty skilful if still a little raw, but a player that could develop into an excellent one

Believable2 Unbelievable0

19 Aug 2012 13:44:02
Was just driving past the new training ground to see if i could see what it looks like and just saw avb, levy and some of the medical staff driving in and lvy and avb were very excited about something, both had big grins on their faces, possible medical for a new signing going onto today?

Believable4 Unbelievable11

Now, that was good timing wasn't it. So levy, AVB and medical staff (how do you know they are) all arrived together cos I know you can't see anything from outside new training complex at bulls cross.

Agree7 Disagree1

Why bulls cross?
They don't move there or start using it till sept 1st.

Agree2 Disagree0

Were you the guy who saw llorente at heathrow on Friday lol

Agree6 Disagree0

Lol did the medical staff have white coats on and a stethoscope around their neck? Surprised u didnt say Levy had a contract in his hand and u could read "Messi sign here"

Agree6 Disagree0

Original poster , please past go and head to the Spurs Community forum along with the Oracle .... Possibly one of the worst posts ever seen on this site

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Aug 2012 13:32:43
Any truth regarding Dzagoev?

Believable5 Unbelievable4

19 Aug 2012 13:28:12
Massive rumours doing the rounds about llorente.
28mill euros, deal done. To sign on mon/Tuesday.
Probably only itk liars (like usual)
Will be interesting to see if he in Bilbao squad this afternoon. {Ed008's Note - He isn't the squad according to reports..

Believable3 Unbelievable2

Bilbao team up already and he def not in first 11. No subs up yet.

Agree3 Disagree0

Bielsa already said Javi Martinez and Llorente are not in the squad, both are linked with possible deals Javi with Bayern and Llorente with Juve but there is still a chance for us to get him if Levy is prepared to cough up {Ed008's Note - Wait didn't Bielsa leave the club?

Agree1 Disagree0

French reports (Canal+) saying Llroente is in talks with Arsenal.

Agree1 Disagree1

Now if gooners sign llorente I will be really p.ssed off. Levy, sort it out ffs.
I don't wanna see levy out banners at the lane but I can see it coming if he don't sign anyone.

Agree2 Disagree0

Oi spuds, llorente is going to juve. didn't you know that?

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Aug 2012 12:37:41
Its really starting to bother me that everyones saying oh Modric needs to leave so we have funds to buy other players. we dont we have sold so many players and very little has been re invested into the squad. Levy needs to stop being such a tight **** and splash the cash big time.

Haymaker

Believable13 Unbelievable2

I'm no financial expert, especially in terms of running a football club but I'd imagine a lot of the funds raised from sold players will be put into the Northumberland project.

Agree12 Disagree1

I agree we should have a health budget for transfers from previous sales etc but AVB during an interview the other day alluded to the fact that until Modric is SOLD then we won't be buying any identified players... Maybe except ADE which was already planned until his ego started to get in the way.

foxspur

Agree8 Disagree0

Funnily enough AVB stated ( not allude) during yesterdays interview that bringing in players WAS NOT dependent on the sale of Modric.
Super y*d

Agree3 Disagree6

So where are they ?

Agree7 Disagree1

19 Aug 2012 12:02:09
ade will sign on Tuesday. Levy to swallow his pride and resign berba for £5.5m

Believable2 Unbelievable5

Berba right now at that price 4 us makes sence. Proven in the prem
Mr g

Agree8 Disagree1

I would love both. That would be an outlay of £10mill. A no brainier if there ever was one.

Agree4 Disagree0

Berbs was one of the most skillful forwards i,ve seen at the lane,would he fit into avb style of playing thou?

Agree1 Disagree0

Does Kane fit into avb's style of playing!!
Enough said really.

Agree3 Disagree0

I've been saying the same about Ade and Berbs for weeks now yet we have sorted nothing and already been beaten in game 1 as also predicted if we didn't. Regardless of the 'positive signs', it was no points and obvious what we were missing. What a surprise!!

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Aug 2012 09:11:36
Chelsea offered both Sturidge and Meireles as part of a deal for Modric. This has now delayed the Real deal, as Spurs are tempted by the Chelsea offer but surprise, Modric only now wants Madrid.. More stalemate!

Expect Modric to force his way to Madrid, leaving us scratching around for a striker, and a midfield replacement.

Believable5 Unbelievable2

Modric is ruining our transfer window, we should just accept £25 million from Madrid, this is enough for a top striker because thats what we need

HazzaHotspur

Agree4 Disagree0

Modric is an annoying rat, send him to chelsea and we get the promising sturridge and meireles plus cash thrown in plus can get adebayor in.

Agree3 Disagree4

He is not a modric replacement in the slightest , and we have Defoe why do we need Sturridge similar shoot on sight player

We need our Ade back and moutinho please !

Agree4 Disagree1

Completely agree; Sturridge is similar to Defoe -
Although both are good quality finishers, they will struggle in some games where they need support against more physical defences..

Hence, our need for Adebayor / or I'd prefer Berba

Agree1 Disagree3

Why would chelsea offer their only senior sub for torres for a midfielder, when they already got one or two players this summer who can play in modders role? I don't think they are in need of him anymore, and he's off to madrid. Knowing our luck it will happen at the last hour.
As much as i want damiao, llorente or anyone else. I think we we'll only get ade and maybe a possible youth, probably not a striker since we've already got kane and coulibaly. Both of which avb rates highly.

Knut {Ed008's Note - Chelsea are after 2 strikers one which is Cavani and the other i can't remember.

Agree1 Disagree0

Not the same player sturridge is 6' 1" and defoe is 5' 5" quite different if you ask me

Agree0 Disagree0

They'd only offer sturridge if they were sure to get another senior striker in. Personally i'd welcome the boy with open arms as an addition, can play as a wide man and still has years to develop as a player and a professional. Still, I think we need a pure goalgetter, with a decade ahead of him to make him a legend with the club. Imo I think such a player would be worth 25-30M, even up to 35M. Unless ade comes in and shows his quality, then we could play kane and coulibaly in cup matches and give them confidence to become those goalgetters we so badly need.

Knut

Agree1 Disagree0

I read somewhere, they offered Sturridge, meireles and a lot of money.
I say take it, Sturridge (along with ade) would give us depth and meireles would run all day. Very much like Parker.
I hate the idea of selling to a rival but if it too good to be true then snap their hands off.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Aug 2012 07:39:43
wud it be a gd idea for modders to go to real madrid, and then sign ade and moutinho with the money we get from that and then sell our fringe players like bentley to get a keeper and another striker

Believable8 Unbelievable2

Your a genius..
shorty

Agree8 Disagree2

19 Aug 2012 00:11:39
Ok guys the reason vert was on the bench was maybe because making your debut in the fastest league in the world against a team with notoriously strong cf's away from home after he's just played 90 minutes in a friendly a few days ago could be construed as asking a bit much. Barring unforeseen circumstances I 100% guarantee you that vert will start the next match. As for Hudds and Daws I don't know why they weren't even on the bench, maybe AVB isn't sure they're match fit yet after their long term injuries last season. Disappoiting result obviously but lots of positives to take. I refuse to panic until August 1st and Defoe is still our only striker. Until then I live on in optimism because it's a damn sight more fun than being pessimistic. COYS!

Believable5 Unbelievable4

I pretty much agree across the board. The only reason that I still think that you have to include Hudd in the side is that he's a far better distributor than Jake is and we're without the services of Luka.

Agree3 Disagree0

Think you will now be in a awful state as its 19th August.Poor fella.

Agree5 Disagree0

You better start panicking then bud as its the 19th!!
