Not going to make that big an impact. We need a world class striker

Numilogo Safrani?
Would be no more than 12m
Better Than Ade-dont-score

Rodrigo is a great striker. HUGE buy out clause (something like €60m) so I can't see benfica letting their bright young striker go. Although they have just bought 2 young Serbian strikers so maybe they need to offload players. Rodrigo would do well under AVB

Marco Van Ginkel. best mid in eredivise this season and young talent. Anybody seen him? Would he be a good fit here at the lane?
Not claiming there is an approach for him, although with Eriksson seeming less likely this could be an alternative

the players i'd like to see move on are the following:
adi - 10m
bentley 2m
benni -6m
defoe - 6m
hudd - 4m
gomes -2m
sigs - 6m
gallas - free
townsend - 6m
that's 42 mil on funds for new players + if levy puts his hand in his pocket with say 30 mil. That is about 70mil to challenge.
players in (excuse the spellings yea)
L dameio 17m
villa 10m
scott sinclair 5m
dyer from swans - 5m
mitcu 15m
m bia qpr 5m

So we would have 5 CB's and 5 wingers and 3 strikers? Bit much but I would love most of these players. Apart from Sinclair and Dyer.

Gomes and Bentley out of contract I thought

I'd only take Michu, Damiao and Villa from this list. Others aren't good enough for our ambitions

Why sell townsend he will be on par or better than lennon!

U seem to have forgot the massive difference in wages your new team members would cost mr g

£10m for Ade! Haha
Be lucky to get £5m and highly unlikely from anybody willing to pay £120k pw {Ed008's Note - Monaco..

Not at all bs they players we have that I would like to be sold are on massive salaries anyway
Agree0

Our squad was very thin this season in numbers (and any quality in depth). Your in list raises the quality of the best 11-13 but actually shrinks our squad by two players which would be ridiculous.
There's no way Dyer and Sinclair are better than Sig (who you're selling for a loss!) and probably not a great deal better than Townsend if given some more game time.

Hi Ed,
Monaco, great idea, quick ship him off for whatever we can get! haha.
Seriously, Ade is mega-frustrating because against Everton, Stoke, Chelsea and Sunderland he put it in and was a threat again, where was he the rest of the season. His reputation and past would say he was just being lazy but, he did have an injury at the start of the season and I wonder if it lingered. Every chance he made it worse going to ACN and playing on it because we had no other options when Defoe was injured.
Let's hope that's what it was if he stays!
Simmo {Ed008's Note - I think Ed002 mentioned Monaco were interested in Adebayor he was a former player there as well so you could say that's why he's been playing good lately to get a move there which I'm guessing you lot will be happy with.
Agree4

Why sell sig and defoe?
Agree3

Well the difference in wages would be approx 5 million a year by my estimate, 20 million if u account for the length of contracts these players would demand.
im glad you're not our accountant!

Stephen El Shaarawy could be on his way. You heard it here first {Ed008's Note - He ain't going nowhere staying at Milan.
Believable4
Unbelievable16
What makes you think that Septic? Is it because he won milans best player award? OR is because he signed a new contract recently? Or is it because SES is a boyhood Milan fan? I really want to know what wrong reason you used to justify this ridiculous rumor

What do people think about going in for Callum McMananman? looks a hot prospect for the future and would be a levy price.
Believable10
Unbelievable13
Not when we have townsend needing games to show what he can do
Agree14
Disagree3
I like McManamam but have for a while and not just after the cup final so think he could be worth a look. Trouble is Whelan is no fool, Wigan may have been relegated but they do not let their prize-assets go cheap (Moses, Valencia, Palacios, Chimbonda - all went for big fees).

ED what's the chances of us signing Higuan? he's set to leave madrid, and so far no one has bidded for him, so why don't we come in and steal him before other people? just what we need upfront {Ed002's Note - He might be offered up as part of a deal for Bale.}
Believable6
Unbelievable9
They can offer tottenham whatever they like. Bale will remain at spurs
Agree11
Disagree7
Am I right in thinking that we could get refusal on someone like higuain if a club such as arsenal were to have an offer accepted? {Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you are talking about.}
Agree4
Disagree4
Yes we should get first refusal if they (the scum) put an offer in we get advised and asked if you want to match it.
we have an agreement with them when we sold the rat boy.
same as international brazilian team where sandro was and Damieo
Cheers

Because of the "special relationship", could we get the choice to buy a player at the same price which has been offered and accepted by another team?
Agree5

The 'Special agreement' was Levy's way of trying to come out of the Modric transfer with some dignity left when Madrid stuck it to him!
If there was ANY form of 'agreement' we would have seen something by now!
Yid in the Hood
Agree5

I think he is talking about our partnership deal with Real Madrid following the sale of Modric. The
deal was reported to include:
Commercial tie-ups between the clubs which may include tours, franchises and marketing
Friendlies in pre-season which could be hugely lucrative for Spurs
Options on loaning players and having the first refusal to buy certain players
Coaching tie-ups which may see youngsters go on summer camps and exchanges
Come on ED get a grip!

Ed, is lacina traore a possibility? And which leagues do you think we will look at for talent over the summer?

Okay thanks ed! Personally I see us looking at the german, portugese and dutch league. Avoiding leagues such as the french and itialian. Just my opionon. People may find this daft but that's where i'd look.

German football seems like quite an inexpensive league bar your dortmunds and bayern. Dutch is rather cheap aswell. And if porto and benefica don't play hard ball this league is rather cheap aswell. Seems like some spurs signings.
Personally I think spurs are an awkward team to fit a player to as we are always pressing around the box so a striker needs to be used to doing this.
