Spurs Rumours Archive June 29 2012

Harry 'twitcher' Redknapp is off again!

1st he says Modric is off and always believed in Bale, is this not the same manager who tried to sell or loan Bale to Forest

2nd he now says He tried to get Balotteli to Spurs on Loan but his club were not keen to loan, surely if he or the club thought that highly of him why not buy him!

Why come out with this s**t now! we ended up with Saha last January no major signing again! just the Redknapp circus every transfer window on Sky Sports through the Range Rover window!

3rd he once again says he is disappointed not to be at Spurs but wouldn't commit to a new contract when he thought the England job was his!

I loved the time Harry was in charge, the football was great and he will be missed but things moves on so Harry please keep quiet now and thanks for the good times if only you weren't so out spoken then maybe you would still be in charge

We don't know Harry tried to loan Bale to Forest and Bale gave Harry a lot of credit for helping him develop
As for why loan Balotelli do you honestly think Harry wouldn't have been happy to buy him? Levy held the purse strings that's why it took Harry all last summer to get him to pay £5 mill for Scott Parker go figure why we were net in funds over the last few windows

We know Levy is a tight wad but he did give Harry funds/Wages for Defoe, Crouch, Kranjcar, Kaboul, Palacios, Pinnaar, Parker, Keane (return) Adebayor, Sandro, Gallas, Friedel, Van der Vaart, Walker, Naughton etc so maybe he had given up on Redknapp especially when he wanted to take Sol campbell back on a free! and let all the youngsters out on loan and no squad rotation

It's the same old story, HR probably did want to sign Balotelli but as mentioned above D.Levy holds the purse strings so not surprised at all that we don't buy £20 million plus players. No matter how good they are.
As for Bale being loaned out, HR said himself in an interview that he was LUCKY that BAE got injured as Bale would of been loaned out and would of taken longer to get where he (Bale) is now, as his standard and maturity improved significantly.

Either way Bale is still here till 2016 and that can only benefit Spurs as for Modric, his head is turned for the wrong reasons IMO Money as we are building a strong team slowly. If RM are really willing to pay what is perceived in the press then take it and lets move on.

I do honestly believe HR was sacked way to early for running off at the mouth but also that he wanted to control the transfers and DL was never going to let that happen.

He should just set a budget and tell whoever the manager is, thats what you have till whenever and let us finally win something decent....

I'd love us to have buckets of cash every transfer window. The fact is we don't (technically!). Come on we ALL know DL is a businessman and IMO one that's not doing too badly for us. We are one of the only big clubs not in serious debt. Ok so that stops us getting some of the bigger players, but at least we won't end up like Rangers! We've got some class young players at Spurs, it just needs a manager with some balls to play them, instead of shipping them out season after season. What they lack in exp they make up for in enthusiasm.

COYS

For me this is HR at his best. If you think about it he is saying that the new manager already has the resources to win the EPL, and that really isnt likely unless real big bucks are spent, so anything else will in effect be a failure.
Talk about blowing your own trumpet

I tried to date Elle McPherson too. ;-)

Daniel sturridge is likely to leave chelsea and he has said he would rather stay in london at spurs than move to liverpool

He is a good player but i not sure if he would fit in

Sources please? Where has he been quoted as saying something like that? It seems you are regurgitating what has been reported a few days ago about a possible move and added your own spin on it. Chinese whispers for sure.

I hope he does move to spurs class player and i think AVB rates him highly so he could move to us,if we could sign ade on pernmant basis and have sturridge and ade up front next year they would be the perfect partner ship,but i reckon we will be playing AVB style tatics 3 attacking forwards and 3 diamond ship midfield with every1 switching postions which sounds very tastey

Didn't AVB play him out of position for Chelsea?? Can't see him being happy doing that again

This is recycled information that was posted around a week or so ago from the Daily Stir

He wanted to go to Arsenal but they weren't interested

AVB didnt play him out position he excelled under him at chelsea he scored a 11 goals for them up untill he was sacked then he lost his place when dimatteo was manager

How can we play a diamond with only 3 in midfield?

The new dawn at Spurs is really taking shape. So far we have agreed and secured AVB & Vertonghen. Sigurdsson is now looking extremely likely as the final personal terms are being agreed. Leandro Damiao will also be joining Spurs after months of transfer discussions and jousting.

On the down side it appears that all the hype indicates Modric is most likely leaving. The only saving grace is Levy WON'T be bullied and the price will therefore be significant. The latest rumour is Sahin is not interested as touted by the press. Well I can assure you that it is Spurs who are not interested in Sahin not the other way round. AVB has already lined up Moutinho as his main target, and with Levy trying to steal Yilmaz for peanuts along with Lloris the potential looks impressive.

There is £32m available after AVB, Vertonghen, Damiao & Sigurdson. This figure does not account for the potential sales of Gomes, Corluka, Jenas, Bentley & Modric. Expect AVB to receive the freedom to shape the team with the likes of Moutinho and others.

The Oracle

Vertonghen secured? Damiao joining? 32 mill to spend after that? Your living in your own little world my friend. I suggest you get out on your hover board for a while.......

Rufus

Hope your right Oracle, would make us best team in London. Let's face it though this is Spurs something has to go wrong!!

I couldn't give a damiao about that transfer. The guy won't come but Motinho sounds interesting. What do u think will happen with other actual potential strikers oracle?
Rosco

Moutinho looked outstanding in the euros would be a happy spur with that acquisition, but rise tinted spectacles aside would he choose us over a bigger club no matter the manager I can only hope.
Tspur

In Levy we trust
In Oracle we p*** ourselves laughing

Every post for last 4 windows you have mentioned damiao, enough already.
You seem to jump on the bandwagon and rewrite what everyone else in itk land has written.
See no one mentioned bales contract before that happened.
It is all just rumour and speculation. No one knows any real facts ie bale contract.

Bale himself was not itk, levy told him to sign and he did and that was that.

Oracle how many times have i told you neo is dead.

Potential sales of corluka ?? Didn't he leave 2 days ago ??
In a dream world yes lloris vertoghen moutinho avb sigurdson damiao would be nice but that little lot would cost I'd say near on 100m ? Lol

Neil Essex Yiddo Adams

Damiao is not coming.

Man you need a life stop posting s""t Why do you claim all this with no back up lets look at your history i say no more but i will say again get a life

Oracle could you post the winning euro lottery numbers for tonight or tuesday pls. Because your so spot on with the future all the time. I cant wait to be rich thanks from a gullible idiot.

The Oracle, sit down mate.

John COYS!

Oracle .... You've been proved wrong on sooo many occasions I now feel sorry for you .... Seriously I'm my time on this site you haven't got a single * prediction as that's all it is right * and with the amount of different apparent happenings to. It even get one right shows it .... I'm starting to feel sorry for you now not just laugh at you ...
Please stop and join us in normal terms than spouting rubbish

That would be a great bunch of deals but doubt it will all happen and we'd still be a striker short!
Lloris £12-15m, Vert £10m, Moutinho £30-32m, manager wage cost is a given providing no compo involved, it may cost us an extra £2m a year compared to Harry if it's 'a big name' though, Sigurdsson £9m, Damaio £20m. £83-88m in total. Modric £30-32m, Charlie £4-6m, JJ, Bentley, Pienaar prob £10m in total. So we're up to £40million out of pocket and a striker short! Can't see us forking out that sort of money on a keeper so that would slash it a bit and I don't think Damaio is happening. More like a nominal transfer fee plus a signing on fee for Ade and then trying to get Demba Ba for £10m or Kalou on a free.
That could mean being a £20-25m ish net spend which is possible given it's quite a big overhaul and IMO would make us stronger.

I suggest you scroll down the older post Mr Anonymous Doubting Thomas. The funny thing about this site is 50 are actually regurgitating my posts. I told you about Damiao and others way before the press even linked. I know things have taken longer than expected but Levy didn't want to spend £70m only to replace Redknapp and need to do it all again.

So those who simply add insults alone on this site, my message to you is just wait and see how accurate I am. Just to bring up my long standing post again, add the Olympic Stadium to my predictions as well.

The trouble with most of you is that you read the nonsense in the press who jump around like firecrackers, and then fail to stop for a moment and question them.

To the guy who asked about other strikers the targets are already comprehensive. Damiao will join Defoe and we have at least three youngsters with real potential knocking on the door of the first XI. I am not sure of AVBs intentions but am sure Coullibally could step up Right now for example. Levy will clearly try a few steals and it is no secret we are buzzing around Yilmaz, Demba Ba and a whole host of cheaper options.

The Oracle

Remember though for each bit of deadwood we shift we get wages back

Gallas, Gallas, King, Kranjcar, Corluka, Pienaar, One of our 3 keepers, Saha, Nelsen, Bassong etc

Even putting them on an average of 40k a week that's nearly £21m a year! Granted the new players will draw wages too but if we get fewer we will still be saving

We tend to spend an average of £20m net a season on new players but haven't done so in the last 2 years. It all adds up. Trust me we have money to spend. It's just getting the players good enough to improve us to come inside our wage structure

Damiao has already said he is not interested in a spurs swap.
he is not who we are going to get.
this is for sure.
we will get a few additions, but do not expect many big names, the money is just not there

Dont forget the champions league money!
Tspur

Oracle you are unreal, so everyone copies your posts about rumours funniest thing I've read in ages.
Name one thing you, and you alone have predicted, not a damn thing. The reason we are mr anonymous doubting Thomas is cos you are never right. You read ll the fanzines, itk sites, spurs sites and other sites and you twist it into your own words and try and make yourself sound grown up.
You are laughable, never correct and a bit of an embarrassment if truth be known. And please, don't get your mum on here to defend you again. I'm still laughing because you keep persisting with damiao and the Olympic stadium.
I suppose if you throw enough mud, something, someday will stick

Sigurdson has passed a medical. Source news now

Yes that is correct, Levy has a budget of £20m each transfer window but this includes new contract deals (for example Bale and Walker and Kaboul I think) this transfer window. I read this from another website which was ITK. Now for you all to do a Carol Vorderman!

Now for my opinion, we will not her Lloris, Friedel still has one more year in him just about),
Gallas will go (I read a couple of months ago abroad probs USA),
King will be coach , he will not play.
Expect to see Caulker in the first team next season
Coubailly expect to see next season (quality player and done really well in Next Gen tournament)
Kane will be loaned to a premiership club.
Naughton will be back up for Walker and will be rotated.
Ceballos will be loaned to a championship club at some point next season.

There will also be a free signing this window in order to provide cover.

The Rabbit

PS We are going to the Olympic Staduim, it's being used as Leverage to raise finance off the Government and Boris.

PPS WE WILL SIGN DAMIAO. I predict he will be signed and then loaned back to come in January.

PPPS Outside bet, we will get Owen or Kalou

Oracle states the following -

"but am sure Coullibally could step up Right now"

110% agree. The kid ozzes class. Before you post that this his mum. Nope, this is

Flippit

Guys coulibaly is a very talented player, who I'm sure will wine day be brilliant. But the fact is he has only been in the country for a year, and is only 17. 17. He needs to stay and learn the tottenham way in the youth and reserve teams. He should be no where near the first team next season. Coulibaly only scored 2 in nextgen, Pritchard scored more. I repeat, he is not ready and doesn't need any more pressure

Why is the Olympic stadium still being mentioned? Land adjacent to White Hart Lane has already been cleared. 3 quarters of the stadium will be built before moving in and them demolishing the existing stands & completing the build.

If you are really ITK oracle, why is it that you only started to mentioned to Sigurdsson AFTER it emerged on every other site first ? Before you throw your toys out of the pram, remember that we can all see the dates and times of your posts.

If Coulibaly is that good get him in the 1st team squad,we always have promising youngsters and they get lost in reserves or farmed out on loan and eventually moved on if your good enough your old enough

The Oracle is like Money Supermarket. Has all the information from other websites.

God I am funny!

Who wrote the above about the dead wood and named King, he never be dead wood he`s` to be a coach if there`s no cotract for next season
