Just read that defo needs surgery! So that's this season f*cked! Good bye champs league. Wycombe spur

Believable3 Unbelievable3

Where did you read this? i'd like to check it out as I can only see stuff saying that he might need surgery but after an injection he could be good for wednesday.

Agree0 Disagree0

Just heard only rumours 1. Spurs to offer for Nagredo. i'd say that's 50/50 and sounds realistic. 2. Damiao according to reports in Brazil we have put in a 20 mill bid i'd say that's 30/70 going to happen. And Defoe is not out and back for Norwich match.

Agree0 Disagree0

Can't believe what I just read on tv Sport. Tottenham to make a late swoop on damiao. Deal likely to be done by Thursday. If we do miss out we will make a play for. Negredo.
Could the Oracle finally be right?
Next thing you know hell will freeze over and pigs will fly!

Defoe out is a massive blow but damiao up front would be brilliant.
I for one hope it happens.

Aussie Yid!

Right.........just had some brilliant news brought to me by a friend that has been situated in Germany for the past year.

It's pretty laughable actually!
He has pretty much told me to forget about spurs raiding a cash strapped LaLiga for strikers because that is too obvious. Levy has already struck a deal for a young german superstar.

Thomas Muller will sign in The next few days for a fee of 16m. Will be given the number 9.

If this doesn't happen I deserve all the stick in the world for the constant postage. I already told you guys about Holtby which was obvious to all of us but now I've put my neck on the line with this news.

Levy wants to bring the german Fever back to the lane.
Watch this space my yiddos.
The Channeller Vs The Oracle.
Thomas Muller vs Damaio.

The Channeller.

Believable2 Unbelievable6

Thomas muller will cost a lot more than 16k more like 30k so no way levy will pay that

Agree4 Disagree1

Love the goss but mate your kooko
Muller is playing in the 3 up top and keeping the likes of robben and Gomes on the bench.... So.... No go
Mr g

Agree3 Disagree0

Didn't you just state that saldado would sign on deadline day??? Are you just naming random strikers an covering all the bases?? At least the boricale is consistent . Wycombe spur

Agree1 Disagree2

God I hope you're right. He is a world class player.

SpursDave

Agree3 Disagree1

Can't see that being the case at all...Unless, of course, there's been a drastic unexpected change in forward planning at Bayern Munich...Thomas Muller signed a contract extension until 2017 just before Xmas.

'61 Kid

Agree2 Disagree2

You're right, it is laughable. Thomas Muller was on record suggesting that he did not fancy any other club other than Bayern and is contracted till 2017. 16M to prise away someone who is as quality as him is something that makes me scratch my head. They would start negotiations at a higher price, surely?

Agree2 Disagree1

61 kid, that was before Pep got the job. According to my mate, bayern are looking to generate money for pep to use once he arrives at the end of the season.

Pep wants to bring in 3/4 of his own players to make Bayern into a real force. Muller is not part of his long term plans.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

The channeller.

Agree2 Disagree3

Wycombe spur,

I did indeed say that but Valencia want too much for the 28 year old.

I was almost confident this was a done deal.

The number 9 shirt will now be warn by a young, hungry, athletic striker
I believe it could be out of muller or Damaio.

The Channeller.

Agree0 Disagree2

Just to add to my last post....

Defoe 29, Adebayor 28, Dempsey 29....

If Levy continues his way of working then the surely the next striker coming in will be young and have a resale value.

If this is the case then it rules out Saldado 27 and Negrado 27......

What do you guys think???

The Channeller.

Agree1 Disagree2

To the brave Annonymous poster who posted under 61 kid, the price of VdV and sneijders price made my head itch too. Infact so did Michu's, Demba Ba and Hugo Lloris.

Before he signed a contract ext at bayern he was quoted saying he is prepared to leave bayern. Footballs a funny old game son.

Thomas Muller the new Jurgen?
The Channeller.

Agree0 Disagree1

Omg, he is the oracle.
He says' he gave us' holtby.
It was in the news long before you first posted on here my friend.

COYMFS.

Agree1 Disagree0

Its all BS. You and Oracle actually believe what you are writing. I know it is a rumour site but lets try and keep to believable rumours.

Having said the above I do actually quite like reading your's and Oracle's ITK stuff. It is amusing : ))

Bobby

Agree2 Disagree0

We will not sign Muller or Damiao, Oracle mk 2.

Agree1 Disagree1

The Oracle has been quiet, I think he must be preparing a long post! Wouldn't it be funny if he was right about Damiao just when Channeller give him some competeition on the rumours front. The irony!!

The Rabbit

Agree0 Disagree1

Muller is not a striker, he has a decent goal record and a decent assist record, but he's more am or plays wider and at 23 a top player, one that Bayern won't sell, much less for 16 mill, really this is not going to happen

Agree0 Disagree1

I think its very interesting and we will all find out soon.
I thought muller played behind the striker but then I don't really see Bayern play often so don't know.
At least you have something that no one else has mentioned or been reported.

Time will tell.

Marc

Agree0 Disagree0

Is it me or does the channeller sound a lot like the oracle?

Agree1 Disagree0

Stop all this "i gave you, my source said" nonsense, when the info has been posted across the net for weeks and week.
its just self inflating ego attention seeking rubbish....sad really.

for the record, holtby was secured ages ago, admitally for a summer move, but it doesn't take a genius to latch onto the fact that he could move early for a small fee, especially when sandro was crocked.

i believe a striker will be signed now that its common knowledge that defoe has been carrying an injury, but I havnt a clue who.......just like everybody else !

and there may be a surprise, similar to the vdv deal, if someone becomes available under the same circumstances, but don't hold your breath !
bucks spur

Agree2 Disagree1

The other transfers mentioned by the Flanneller all have logical reasons as to why they were underpriced for the players involved, do the research and you'll also know why. Surely, the position of Bayern as a selling club is strengthened by the player signing a new contract? I do hope you are correct but I find it a strange transfer for Bayern to entertain when they have many fronts to challenge on between now and the time Pep takes over.

Agree0 Disagree0

My views have always been months before they are even in the press, and when Damiao finally joins the longer standing readers will know I gave it before the press even knew who he was. The Chaneller just writes obvious 'non risky' things and is a fake of the real arrogant self assured deluded fool that is me.

The Oracle

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2013 17:55:03
Holtby deal finally done, anyone know if things are tied up today if he can participate on Wednesday?

Just a striker Daniel and maybe Diame for cover then we can push on.

Delyod

Believable4 Unbelievable0

Think they said on tv he would be with the squad by the end of the week.

Russpur

Agree3 Disagree0

He won't be playing till 2nd game

Agree1 Disagree1

He can play against norwich I think

Jimbo

Agree0 Disagree0

He won't be playing in the next two games (Norwich and WBA) as he won't be moving until the weekend

Chappers

Agree0 Disagree0

I think he will probably come on as a sub in the WBA game at the weekend

Rich - EssexYid

Agree0 Disagree0

Like I said in previous posts, Levy will make 1 final bid for damaio but will not exceed the 18/20m pound mark.

And

Muller is not in Peps plans. They are willing to listen to offers for him.

Let's just wait and see shall we.

The Channeller.

P.s it will not be both.

Agree0 Disagree1

As mentioned above by chappers, its reported that he's not even moving to london until the weekend, so its very unlikely we'll see him until after the weekend
b/s

Agree0 Disagree0

A picture of andre and holtby was just put up on fb so I guess he's in the country and will be available tommorrow..

Ron

Agree0 Disagree0

Well he's been pictured with the team training today, been given no 23 shirt and is in the squad to face norwich, completely the opposite of what was reported last night !

i stand corrected
b/s

Agree0 Disagree0

My bad, AVB must've had a chat with him saying we need you now so get ya arse over here, and I'm glad it's happening quicker than reported, cause he needs to play/train with his team mates ASAP

Saldado to sign on deadline day.

The Channeller.

Believable3 Unbelievable6

Would be amazing but can't see it happening he doesn't want to come to england from what's been said.

Marc

Agree4 Disagree1

Absolutely no chance, even if they are skint.

Agree2 Disagree0

According to reports in Spain he has had a change of heart on a move to England only if it was a big club that was after him.
............
Due to the exclusion of Damaio in the brazil squad, the player himself has admitted it may be time for him to leave inter to enhance his chances if making the squad in the future.

Levy will now have final negotiations with inter......

Despite all this I still believe in my source. It wasn't rocket science with Holtby but he is 100% certain a striker from La Liga is on his way.

As for Diame, he is not Tottenham bound. He could be on his way to Arsenal.

The Channeller.

Agree1 Disagree3

Soldado nill chance; Negredo small chance

Agree2 Disagree1

Channeller,

If your source has said someone from LA liga why do you post as if soldado is a cert?

You have made posts that you know, are you saying now that you don't actually know?

Marc

Agree2 Disagree0

Marc all I know is spurs will 100% be bringing in a striker.
I can't deny I thought saldado was a cert but valencia want to much money for him.

Check my last post on Thomas Muller.

The Channeller.

Agree0 Disagree0

Channeller,

I have done and am interested to see how things go.

At least you def don't churn out what the media or others say.

Marc

Agree1 Disagree0

And he isn't arrogant and obnoxious with it either, which is why I enjoy Channeller's posts.

Keep it up Squire!

Do not take my word about this but I have been told by my brother in law who is a massive porto fan that we are in talks with porto about signing their striker jackson martinnez(spelling). he is only 20 and is much better then what we already have at the club, he is a typical levy signing, young, exciting and whos value will only get higher and higher. the fee is likley to be between 12-15m

Believable2 Unbelievable4

He's not 20 he's 26 think you've got your facts wrong there

Agree3 Disagree0

Why is he better than we have ?? Defoe is class, adebayor is class (low on confidence ) this chap scored in Mexican league woopdy do
Probably same level as hooper

Essex Spurs

Agree2 Disagree2

Are you thinking of james rodriguez..?

Agree2 Disagree1

The words Ade and class do not go together ! Try tantrum and spoilt brat !
Davo

Agree4 Disagree1

Phew what a relief both Defoe and even Adebayor are class there was me starting to worry and we already had 2 class strikers right under our noses.... cancel the helicopters divert all calls to answerphone return that suitcase of money back to the bank and tell that sky reporter to stay at home with a hot milky drink this transfer window

ou812

Agree0 Disagree0

Jackson Martinez is 26 and a Falcao clone. Absolute class. 18 goals in 22 games this season. Buyout is around 40m, I think. Plus with Porto in the Champs League he is going NOWHERE.

P-to-the-S

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Jan 2013 12:24:57
We have finally agreed a fee for holtby to join in January thank god all we need now is a striker not hooper a world class striker like negredo or an up and coming one like vydra only 20 scored 18 goals for Watford so far this season then champs league is ours.

Spurs for life coys

Believable5 Unbelievable3

Holtby deal looking close for January move and agree we need in quality striker but AVB says unlikely in this window hopefully just playing mind games.

Agree1 Disagree3

Just been announced on the Spurs FB page so don't know how someone can disagree

NorthernSpur

Agree1 Disagree2

Just been announced on spurs' page.

Agree2 Disagree2

28 Jan 2013 15:58:42
why have we not bid for Negrado from Sevilla? With their debts, now taken on by local council, you would think a decent bid will secure a world class striker. And god do we need one. COYS!

Agree7 Disagree1

Vydras has bassicaly signed on a permenant for watford in the last couple of hours so we won't be getting him.

Agree4 Disagree1

Hooper would score bags of goals In championship too and is as good if not better than Vydras

Agree3 Disagree3

28 Jan 2013 12:24:56
Hi all

Holtby will sign by Thursday! Also one striker is definately coming in because it is a necessity and both Avb and levy are denying it because if they announce that they want a striker they will have to pay silly money (remember Carroll to Liverpool £35mil)

I'm not sure who will be coming in but definately there will be a striker coming in and it looks most likely to be a striker from Spain or Portugal

Many thanks

Andre

Believable6 Unbelievable3

Andre, will believe it when paperwork signed !!!
Davo

Agree2 Disagree3

Fee agreed on tv



Russpur

Agree1 Disagree2

It has to be a Soldado or Negredo as anything less would just be filling a gap for now. Then when we buy someone during the summer then the 4th choice striker won't go for as much as we would need to sell. Please don't undersell us again DL. Badgerspurs

Agree2 Disagree1

Has holtby just signed davo!!!

many thanks

Andre

Agree4 Disagree0

Andre, didn't mean Holtby mate, meant tight arse won't get his wallet out for a striker !!
Davo

Agree2 Disagree1

Davo

Levy has got in 8 players before the season started how can you say he is not getting his wallet out?

yes we need a CF and if we get one great. if any one can get a good deal to bring one in with out it putting to much debt on the club then levy is the man to do it.

Friend at Celtic says we were in with a bid for Hooper (not good enough in my opinion)but got rejected. Says very doudtful we will go back for him as was a very low bid.He's no reason to lie any truth ed.

Believable3 Unbelievable5

Surely as a chairman of the club you love, and with half a footballin brain you can see for the last 3 years the missing ingredient has been a striker. I know Stats do not win games but we are domintating nearly all of them each game except for the end product. Would easily of had CL football sewn up this year and the last two seasons from our positions in January.

Agree5 Disagree1

Seemingly the hooper is dead according to my friend at Celtic. He says that we are looking at a german striker but didn't have a name. But did say to me that we are definitely in the hunt for a striker before the window shuts. Maybe the rumoured injury to defoe has moved things up? Ed any comment

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2013 05:39:08
Just got a message from a friend who is itk at Leeds. We've agreed a deal to sign Beechio with obika going the other way on loan although personal terms haven't been agreed with either player. Not the big name we were hoping for looks like levy has took the cheaper option then hoping we get cl football next season and go for the bigger name in the summer.

Believable2 Unbelievable7

28 Jan 2013 10:04:23
Thinking yesterdays result is a blessing in disguise. We need that out and out striker who can put the ball away with 1/2 a chance. not had that striker since Klinsmann.

Defoe is OK if he gets off 5 shots in a game he might find the net but every game, chance after chance goes begging.

Levy spend big and secure that Champions league spot.

COYS

Agree6 Disagree0

There are NO POSITIVES to take from going out of the FA Cup to a poor Leeds side end of!!

Mark my words we are not signing a top striker in this transfer window, totally agree we should but it aren't going to happen.

On yesterdays performace...

Caulker was absolutley shocking yesterday, I know he is young and lets hope he does develop in to the kind of defender we all hope he is but on that display (along with a few other suspect displays) he has a long way to go! Dawson over Caulker from me although lets pray Kaboul gets back soon!

Naughton, same problem as walker at full back (everthing happens behind him) altough can't get forward like walker does so walker over Naughton all day long.

Siggs is shocking, headless chicken springs to mind! No real quality!!

Hudds, luxury player! plenty of quality but turns like the coach I travelled to Leeds in!!

If AVB actually believes we have enough up top then the man is delusional, if its not him and its Levy simply not releasing the cash to buy our man then we are in trouble!! Relying on pure luck with injuries from now until the end of the season to claim that top 4 spot is utter madness and a gamble we surely don't need to take!!

Agree4 Disagree1

Not had a striker since klinsmann? might not be as good but we did have berbatov who was a world class striker and scored 23 goals both the seasons he played for us

Agree3 Disagree2

And could've got him back to do a class job this season for £5m !

Agree3 Disagree0

29 Jan 2013 01:04:10
talking rubbish. get over yourself. 4th in the league. just remember that.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2013 02:52:44
Just to let everyone know from a reliable person who is in the know Defoe could be out for up to four weeks. We are in trouble
Concerned yod

Believable2 Unbelievable4

No Premiership proven top striker is going to be less than mega money so, if Negredo can be bought now for £13-14m he should be snapped up surely.
