Spurs Govnor - you sign Tevez...that's a laugh he's going home to Argentina. Sunderland to take Defoe this week and your European place this season.

Believable8 Unbelievable10

Agree0 Disagree0

Not a rumour but what I'd like to see happen.

Get rid of some deadwood; jenas, crouch, keane, dos santos, Hutton.

Don't rip the whole team to pieces. Building for the future means build with what we have. Keep the likes of krankjaer and kaboul.

We have some great players like walker and naughton that can do a job at full-back, plus plenty cover at centre half.

Buy Mata, damiao, and another striker and that will be the 3 top players Harry is talking about.

The future is bright. The future is lily-white. COYS

Believable10 Unbelievable5

Mata can play up-front i doubt we would need 3 strikers

Agree0 Disagree0

Completely agree with you.

Agree0 Disagree0

Coys, we don't need mata. Midfielders are a luxury, it's a position we are so strong in. I agree with kaboul though, he has a massive future at spurs and should be partnered with Dawson next season. Damiao, zarate/cavani and LLovren. Azza

Agree0 Disagree0

Again someone is imitating me and i wouldn't get them i would get Damiao, Rossi, Tasci and try and go for Eden Hazard and just see what happens with that just so one of the scum's get him first

Agree0 Disagree0

COYS (sorry forgot to put me name)

Agree0 Disagree0

Too right kaboul is amazing, he will be great next season.

Reports suggest that we are still keen on Damiao. Would be a great signing for just over £10M {Ed008's Note - Not a report he's a Spurs player as i speak awaiting press confirmation.

Believable11 Unbelievable5

Brilliant i would absolutely love him at the Lane he is going to be a great player for us

COYS

Agree0 Disagree0

ED where is your source from?
{Ed008's Note -I can't tell you that but im gonna chase this up and double check it's true what i've been told i was told he was a Spurs player as of last night but i cant go into too much detail and as not even the press know.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed... How do u know this, there is not even any hint anywhere that he is a spurs player {Ed008's Note - I'll double check my info on it but trust me on this.

Agree0 Disagree0

Brazilian in-laws speak very highly of Damiao. Would be a great signing

Agree0 Disagree0

Do you know when it will be announced ed?

Matt
{Ed008's Note - Soon it won't drag on.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope your right Ed

COYS

Agree0 Disagree0

I know he's unproven in EPL .... But I would jump with joy of this gets announced In the next few days

Agree0 Disagree0

I live in portugal and a lot of brazilian football is covered over here , and this guy looks amazing, only trouble is, if he get loads of goals barcelona and real madrid will come in for him with a mega money move, he is going to be one of the best in the world within the next 5 years

Agree0 Disagree0

Deals dead, his agent is hopping real or barca come in for him in jan

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jul 2011 22:10:02
Just thought id let you know as of last night leandro is now a spurs player. Also pedroza was at the training ground today and is also a spurs player as his contract ran out yesterday.

Matt
{Ed008's Note - Yeah found this out tonight great signing!

Believable13 Unbelievable6

Damiao deal aint gonna happen

Agree0 Disagree0

Its the 10th and still not a single signing on this front, do we have a current update?

Agree0 Disagree0

Think your jumping the gun boys, absolutely nothing on club website or any other reputable sources about Leandro signing

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jul 2011 19:25:29
i think we should raid valencia get mata and soldado for £35M if not that £30M and kranjar...what do you think?

Matt

Believable16 Unbelievable12

Yes Matt i would love to see the two of them rip up the Premier League with Spurs like they do for Valencia in the La Liga

COYS

Agree0 Disagree0

STILL LAUGHING SGB FTM

Agree0 Disagree0

Get on the phone to Levy.

Agree0 Disagree0

Whats his number? lol ;)

Matt

Agree0 Disagree0

Forgot about soldado, but the name is familiar and i think he's good. anyone know age/goal ratio?

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jul 2011 19:22:36
We are about to bid for carlos tevez.

Spurs guvnor
{Ed008's Note - Really ? Not much point Guvnor if he wouldnt come to us anyways. I'm questioning if this is really you unlike yourself to say that.

Believable4 Unbelievable16

07 Jul 2011 18:55:07
Ok so a little bit of guess work and information gleaned from the web gives me some interesting info.
If we sell :-

Keane
Defoe
Crouch
Pav
Dos Santos
Bentley
Kranjcar
Hutton
Bassong
Kaboul
Palacios

Plus the already departed O'Hara and Woodgate

we should save around £680,000 a week in wages
35, 360,000 a year

Now with the sales of these players (being very conservative) we should recoup in the region of £100 million

'If' all of these transfers were to happen we would realistically have enough money (sales and transfer budget) to buy some World Class players, pay them a decent wage and still have change out of a 'tenner'.

We just need the teams to buy them now.............

Kalrez
{Ed008's Note - All 4 Strikers ? Our squad would be too small.

Believable4 Unbelievable10

Think about this though Ed - If we have say £30 million in our transfer budget that gives us around £130 million, now Osvaldo is rumoured to be about £21-22 million and Damaio about £18 million
thats £40 million.

If my figures add up we should have about 90 million left Two Class strikers and maybe enough for a centre back?

What do you think? 4 Strikers and possibly a centre back covers all bases no {Ed008's Note - What is up with all the hype with Osvaldo ? He's not even that good so overrated in my opinion ive watched him since he was at Fiorentina. It's a good idea what your saying but unlikely to happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed-the reason we're all so excited about osvaldo, who i admit is unproven in the prem and was useless in italy, and to a lesser extent damiao, who is still only a prospect, is that its got to the point where our strikers are so awful that we'll welcome even the most unknown and unproven strikers as the next greavsy. i need only reference the hype around this pedroza guy, didn't exactly set the world alight in mexico and now he's our new chicharito?

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jul 2011 17:26:07
how come we are 12/1 to sign Rooney and 20/1 to sign WALCOTT? when Snjider is 40/1 i think Snjider is more likely to join us than those two

Believable1 Unbelievable16

What are you on about. we will not be getting any of them.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yh i know but its just the bookies i recon there is more chance of Snijder coming to us than Ronney and Walcott thats all im saying

Agree0 Disagree0

Isnt it just irrelevent?

Agree0 Disagree0

My taxi driver pal just driven Joe Cole to White Heart Lane for his medical.

Believable2 Unbelievable19

This had better be a joke ..... a sick sick joke

Agree0 Disagree0

Your mate was clearly talking a load of crap spurs medicals take place at the training ground not the stadium

Agree0 Disagree0

That's funny lol...since when do player's show up for medicals in taxi's so both joe cole and spurs have not got the money for a private car which i very much doubt besides joe cole is not good enough for spurs and this is coming from a non spurs supporter who found this post brilliant please post more

Agree0 Disagree0

Top post mate. Keep them coming.

I have heared that adel taarabt will make a sensational return to the lane its just a rumour so youcan decide for yourselves

Believable5 Unbelievable26

I doubt it after he said he would of preferred a move to the scum instead of us after he left

COYS

Agree0 Disagree0

I really hope not, I think he is not only a terrible footballer (in my opinion one of the worst I've seen at the lane). But also according to him Barcelona and Real Madrid are after him so we won't get a look in

Agree0 Disagree0

Granted he has amazing foot work and skill work on the ball... but he is an incredibley selfish player... we dont need people like that at spurs

Agree0 Disagree0

Like i said its only what i heard dont shoot the messanger

Agree0 Disagree0

Modric will still want out and put in a transfer request so he can make his 28m dream move to the might blues
While im aware that the average Chelski supporter is a knuckle dragging bone head, i didnt realise that they were also unable to add up 2 + 2. £ 28 million? Add another £10 mill to that.

Believable3 Unbelievable17

I lovy chnd united fans still sayin that modric is still going to leave coz they dont understand loyalty and cant take the fact that someone has stood up to them and knocked back their dirty money

Agree0 Disagree0

His agent has said flat out modders wont be handing in a transfer request wake up mate

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Jul 2011 12:29:07
We wont sign anyone magor because we havent got champions leage football and players like modric, bale and vdv will want to leave because teams are going to be offering them that ind of football the only players i can see us geting is like stoke, wolves, wigan, leage 1 players and i think it will be that way for a while because now more then ever will it be hard for us to finish in the top 4 or even the top 6 with teams like man/u man/c arsenal liverool chelsea all fighting for top 4 finishes. i no i sound like a misrable sod but im only thinking what the worst case sanario is
Worst case scenario? You sound like you are sitting there ready to slit your wrists. If you feel that bad just imagine being the fan of that "other club" who are now official whores to Man City and Barca. See? Things are always worse somewhere else...

Believable7 Unbelievable15

No way well wide of mark. Levy will pull out another top class signing and bring more quality in. Takes time to get right people in.

Agree0 Disagree0

VDV, Bale, Sandro and Modric wont leave because VDV said he wants to stay for the rest of his career, Bale said on TalkSport that he couldn't wait for next year at spurs. Modric will stay and Sandro wants to stay to.

Agree0 Disagree0

Also-who else do you see in the top 6 instead of us. IMO, the set of spurs, scum, scum (chelski and arsenal respectively) city, pool and united will be the top 6 in whatever order for years to come also, have complete faith in levy, the guy should be manager instead of twitchy. in levy we trust

Agree0 Disagree0

Tottenham's wonderkid Tom Carroll is wanted by Swansea, Wolves, Stoke, Norwich Watford, Leicester, Middlesbrough, Blackpool, Portsmouth, QPR, Caen, Lorient, Mallorca, Real Sociedad, Levante, Lecce, Bologna, Catania and Sampdoria are all reported to be trying to get him on loan. Watford are favourites because that's where he was born and lived before he went to Spurs

Levy most definately told Luka the type of players we're trying to bring in. It is believe that in 2/3 weeks time Luka will be offered a new 90k contract once the majority of our dead wood have been sold. We can finaly look to progress in the transfer department. Cavani would be a fantastic signing, a signing that would match the ambitions of Luka. A signing we must make happen. Azza

Believable16 Unbelievable5

Would he not be crazy money heard over 50 mil, wouldnt mind seeing huntelar lorrentte or rossi coming in

Agree0 Disagree0

A signing that unfortunately Napoli want £86m for. the Napoli President is a psycho he thinks Hitler is living inside Mancini and i am not joking. i think we have more of a chance signing his striking partner Lavezzi or sign Undinese partner Antonio Di Natale or of course Rossi as one of our main strikers

Agree0 Disagree0

It's only a matter of time now that luka leaves if not this season then next if there is no CL it's hard to attract world class player's without it look at city they got some great player last season like yaya toure and david silva but they had to pay them well over 150 grand a week if not they would not have come as for VDV nobody bid for him that's why spurs got him last minute and harry as got the best out of him

Agree0 Disagree0

Is anyone else getting slighty worried about lack of activity in and out ?
And now with this leandro damaio signing a new deal with his club .....
Just me ? Or am I being silly and need to patient ? {Ed008's Note - I'm worried myself but have faith in Harry im sure he will get the right players for us to push forward.

Believable7 Unbelievable6

Just be patient we have ages till are first game we know who we want and levy will do everything to get them

Get your point but don't forget we signed Modric Bale Lennon Hudd Defoe Dawson Gomes etc before we made CL, we just have to work a little harder in the transfer market.
Mo

Agree0 Disagree0

Firstly vdv came out and said he loved spurs so much that he wanted to stay there for the rest of career. bale will stay he was talking on talksport saying he can't wait for next season with spurs. mod is a tiny possibility he could go but levy has done talks with him and mod seems happy to stay and if we are linked with the likes of Rossi, Aguero, Berbatov,
