Agree6 Disagree1

Seen the picture. iI'm told it's Mbaye Niang not Willan. {Ed008's Note - I think he's going either Milan or Everton...

Agree4 Disagree2

I thought Mbaya Niang was on trial at another club?

foxspur

Agree3 Disagree0

Its not niang its infact Varela from porto

Agree4 Disagree0

He was not only pictured at the lodge earlier he has made a plea to his club to let him go to tottenham, check daily mail there's a full article and even some quotes made by Willian himself.

I can't give my name for certain reasons, you would know me if I did. All you spurs fans calm done! We will sign 3 players before the dead line comes. Two of those players have been talked about on here over the last few weeks. The other has not. Once again I can't say anymore about who I am and those players that will sign.....

Willian coming to spurs. That's why AVB is smiling

Spurs to announce 2 new signings after the weekend, one World class forward and a replacement for Modric. I am been told the deal for the forward is been held back to avoid upsetting certain members of the team that will be moved on after the game tomorrow. Make of that what you will, but I think the guy was talking Defoe!

Baz

Believable3 Unbelievable7

WOW are we really clutching at straws? who and what source is your proof? well save your time and effort, I will answer that for you..

JD is Staying at least till next season, No world class striker will sign this window. However Modric will leave this window and a replacement will be found but not a WORLD CLASS replacement but one for the future...

Agree3 Disagree2

I heard it from Tim s god son, also told he gave a list of players to Levy and AVB to get rid of! Seems Tims role is more hands on with AVB than we are told.

I am a chelsea fan, but visit this site as spurs will spend a lot as it will be very exciting week coming. AVB is a very good at buying good players eg mata,cahill,lukaku.
So the spurs team requirs much of a building as modric & dawson moving out, parker being injured and a long term kepeer required. If avb have 60-70m available(35m coming from modric's sale) avb can buy 3-4 players required to play his style and with success.thanX and like all to shed their views.

Adam Johnson to Sunderland. Official. We've missed out on a potential star in a spurs shirt. AVB and Levy must have something up their sleeve if they opted not to sign him. Chance missed in my opinion.

McYid

Believable9 Unbelievable9

Here's hoping Willian is on the verge of signing. I understand Johnson going to Sunderland - guaranteed starting place; would he get that at the Lane? I don't think he would. {Ed008's Note - Him and Lennon battle for RM position.

Agree3 Disagree0

Iv seen this too

Agree2 Disagree1

Not sure if the transfer is official yet but as ED stated AJ and AL fighting for that RHS would of been quality...

foxspur

Agree1 Disagree0

Yeah I don't know why we didn't snap him up also seems like Gaston Ramirez might be going to Southampton! If we don't make some big signings I'll be wondering what's gone on!

Agree3 Disagree1

He is in a Sunderland shirt on a web site. That's official enough for me.

McYid

Agree1 Disagree0

There was an offer from Tottenham but he wanted to stay t'up north! Stop the levy and AVB bashing!

Agree3 Disagree1

McYid, the picture was released after my post... Eitherway I think we let one get away there. also believe like the post says above he wanted to stay up north which is fair enough.. Ow well NEXT!!

It is being reported on Radio Paranaiba, a major Brazilian radio station that Damiao is on the verge of joining Spurs. The only sticking point(bar medical) is that Internacional want him to play for them until January and then move to Spurs, but Spurs insist on him joining in this transfer window.

Felipe

Believable8 Unbelievable4

Nothing on their website.......

Agree4 Disagree2

I really don't think this is true

Agree3 Disagree3

Not another DAMAIO story.
It's getting boring now
He is not signing for spurs this window.

Agree3 Disagree2

Why would they want him to play in the state championship?

Wulf.

Agree2 Disagree1

He will not sign for us, ever. Please stop with all these posts, a player we will NEVER sign.

Agree1 Disagree1

To the damiao doubters, if your so sure he wont sign where is YOUR proof , what is YOUR source? troof is no one knows apart from a handfull of people, Give it a rest at least until the window shuts or you may look a little silly, and if he doesnt you can come on here tell everyone how crap levy and AVB are and share your boring pessemistic views of the club before a ball has barely been kicked , people are just speculating and this is a rumours site so stop acting like you know all and for now just **** off.

Dear Shorty

I would like to totally endorse your post. Whilst not the most articulate expressions, it is clear that you refrain from using sesquepedanialisms. There is too much pessimist verbiage on here, and these same individuals add absolutely nothing of value or content.

My only gripe with your post is your urban infusion of the word truth. When you make a valid point I feel you would be better to refrain from using urban slang in the shape of 'Troof'.

The Oracle {Ed008's Note - Confirmed The Oracle.

Dear Oracle
christ on a bike, ive got a hangover, had 2.5 hours sleep and i am also at work , sorry I didnt live up to your expectations.
I ask you search in to your heart as i seek forgiveness for my misdemeanor and we can put this ugly mess behind us?

I eagerly await your reply
Shorty

Agree0 Disagree0

Oracle - the sentence 'whilst not the most articulate expressions' doesn't make sense.
Just wanted to point that out as you were trying to be clever with your post and trying to make someone feel inadequate and stupid with your big words.
Damn, you must be really insecure!

Agree0 Disagree0

Shorty, oracle the proof that DAMAIO is not gonna sign is his clubs absolute refusal to negotiate a fee. No negotiation,in their words, an astronomical offer or nothing.
Plus I might add, has he been pictured or seen with any representatives of any club. No. Has he said he wants to leave. No. Had he been paraded in a spurs shirt. No.
We don't need proof that he isn't a spurs player. Stupid comment.
Like I have posted before, some of us are sick of some of you, that have nothing better to do than trowel the Internet, looking for rumours and regurgitating them as your own.
Excuse my frustration, but this had gone on for tears now and all you lot are doing is attention seeking, just on the off chance, with luck, some mud might stick and you can say 'I gave you that'
Why else would you do it. Grow up.
Right, rant over.

I never said he was coming, never had.
just silly people saying "I know he is coming" or "I know he is not".
No you dont know. thats all I am saying if thats ok with you.

Spurs in advanced negotiations for Moutinho. If he is not in Porto's starting lineup against Guimaraes tomorrow then that must be a clear sign he is off.

Kinda glad Thudd's loan is off (allegedly), we may need some CDMs (no matter how slow) during the cup runs and europa.

Does anyone else think a cheeky bid for Dempsey could happen?

Believable5 Unbelievable7

I'm happy that thudd is staying. I really rate him. One of the best passers in the prem! What with europa, 2 domestic cups and the prem, we need a squad with depth.
Don't agree with Dempsey. Can't and don't want to see him at the lane. Not good enough in my opinion. Bring on deadline day!

McYid

Agree5 Disagree1

No to old for levy

Agree1 Disagree2

Been saying since end of last season we should sign Dempsey, can play in any of the forward positions. Regardless of whether we sign Willian/Damiao I think Dempsey would be a great addition to the squad.

Agree5 Disagree5

Dembele and keep Thudd, 9m for Dawson all day long

Forget dempsey if we sign anyone from fulham we want dembele

So here's what i think, now all the nonsense about Damaio has gone lets be realistic. I think we will buy Willian, which i think will be a good signing plus sell Modric to Madrid with someone coming this way, i would take one of their younger unproven strikers as good cover for Ade. Then if we are really lucky get in a good CM to replace Modric. Maybe Moutinho but it will probably be someone cheaper. If this happened it may not be but with that squad and AVB given time to get us playing how he wants it could still be a great season.
We all love the rumours and i would love us to go and get 2 - 3 big names but it's just unrealistic. That squad could easily get fourth place and champions league and then we will have a carrot to dangle next season when trying to entice big names.
Sorry if this is not but needed to have my say, cheers.
Dan84

Believable8 Unbelievable1

I agree, I think the rumors of massive players might make this seem like a bad transfer window but I think if we make those signings it would be pretty good and although Chelsea have strengthened a lot arsenal and Liverpool don't look any better maybe worse so with a good season we could get 4th.

I think we may move for dembele as a modric replacement

Agree3 Disagree3

With only Ade and Defoe as proven strikers we will NOT finish 4th, no way!

Agree1 Disagree0

Only ade and defoe. Wait till next week mate we will sign another striker

Some may call me a synic, however various personal dealings with Mr levy tell me that the Willian deal will also fall through
Gaz

Believable2 Unbelievable7

Agree 100%, being a lifelong spurs fan you have to.apart from the VDV deal last year which was a 1 off, levy is too hard a negotiator. Brilliant for selling players, getting them in is another thing.

Wattspurs

Agree3 Disagree5

Quite true, infact it clearly wasnt DL who found the money and negotiated the purchases of Bale, Modric, Sandro, VDV, Vertongen, Walker, Naughton, Lennon, Dawson...................

Agree5 Disagree1

Brilliant for selling players???? We have had enough deadwood to burn for years thats still here!

Agree3 Disagree0

24 Aug 2012 14:28:27
I expect a last minute deal loan deal for a youngster to take place. If Modric is to be sold, a midfielder will also be brought in though it is not to be Moutinho.
Panjic looks most probable.
Gaz

Believable0 Unbelievable8

A deal for Willian is taking place as we speak, although I doubt it will be completed due to Shaktar staying firm to their high valuations of the player

A deal for Damiao could not be agreed despite Reports suggesting internacional had accepted a bid
Gaz

Believable0 Unbelievable8

I thought you said it was all done when you 'announced' it gaz
Internacional have always stated they will not sell unless an exceptional offer comes in.
Levy doesn't do those kind of deals.
All you lot giving 'in the know' information are all the same
Just attention seekers, the lot of ya
You lot have made the transfer window painfully for us normal spurs fans, week in, week out, you spout crap
The only real 'itk' is the official spurs site

Agree2 Disagree1

I agree with the second post, you obviously didn't have a clue and another guesser. Ow well thats how we see who the ITK's are... and well You are NOT ITK........

Surely AVB was buffing yesterday regarding
strikers?
Could today be a good day?
heres a new one for ya ...its going round on twitter that we have made a bid for Shawcross
shorty

Believable0 Unbelievable5

Sounds good, get shot of proven big slow lad Dawson and buy unproven big slow lad Shawcross.

in AVB we trust....

Agree5 Disagree0

Ade, Defoe and Kane is not enough, we need a STRIKER. We needed a better one than Pav when he went and got Saha as a stop-gap, now we've gone backwards. Kane is unproven, may do ok in time but needs to be the 4th option and Defoe limits us to 4-4-2 or having him up top alone and often isolated and less versatile than the like of Ade.

Get it sorted or struggle for top 6 let alone 4 !!!

Agree9 Disagree0

Im pretty sure AvB has it figured out if we needed another striker we would be after one who knows we may be but won't know really till its announced so no point in worrying

Agree0 Disagree0

No point in worrying?! We couldn't sort Ade deal ahead of last Sat and it was prob the difference between 0pts and 1/3pts. Now we're 7days from the end if the window and we only have Ade and Defoe, sorry but we can't count Kane and therefore I'm very worried. Played 1 Lost 1

Man Utd wanted £5.5m for Ezekiel Fryers from Tottenham, had he signed as "free agent". Standard got him for far far less

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Standard got him for free. You don't have to pay compensation when going abroad.

Agree0 Disagree0

Should have got him 5.5 is a bargain, could have been as good as walker

Agree1 Disagree5

5.5 for him.. bargin! Going to be a top player. should have paid it. dont we have a sort of agreement with standard though? maybe get him cheaper next year or free the year after as he only signed a 2 year deal.

Haymaker

Agree2 Disagree1

Bargain! I think not

Agree0 Disagree2

I know wikepedia says you dont pay but the suggestion on both UEFa and FIFAs site suggests you do

Agree0 Disagree0

We have a commercial link with Standard, like we do with Inter. If a player goes abroad then the team they go to does not have to pay compensation. We would have loaned him out anyway so I could see him ending up at Spurs anyway but not for 5.5m, I have no proof of this it's just an opinion. Levy may have seen a way of saving a few million whlist getting a player match time. possibly?

Agree2 Disagree2

That could be very possible who knows what levy is up to ... The man is a genius when it comes to buisness it wouldn't suprise me if this was the case to be honest
Although I fear if he turns real good real quick it will cost a lot more in the long run

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2012 08:38:18
Interesting discussion on ts yesterday regarding fryers.
If he would of come to us direct from man utd, there would of been a fee involved.
He can move abroad for free, funny how liege have the same working agreement/ affiliation with us like the one with internacional.
We would of loaned him anyway.
I bet he comes to us next season on a free.
I would say he is a spurs player (of sorts).
Maybe just another levy money saving scheme?
