why oh why go for tevez he is a good player but every club he as been at he as sulked and gone walk about, he says he wants to be closer to his kids and by moving to italy, now looking at my map he is moving further away, oh well, i have looked at this remy guy looks tasty i would rather have him than sulky, so samba and remy 2 good signing should push us to our 1st championship for 50 yrs COYS...

We'll see how good we really are over the next few weeks. I doubt we will beat Arsenal, Manu, Manc, Chelsea and Liverpool. And we're not even in Europe, most of them are. We are terrible. {Ed008's Note - Clearly not a Spurs fan...

May i have my rose tinted glasses on but on our current form I cant see anything other than victories against Man Utd, Liverpool and Arse-nil with score draws against the other two.

Another expose- Davo is a gooner! {Ed008's Note - I'll put this under banter ?

Believable3 Unbelievable2

After supporting Spurs for 43 years , with 2 brothers and a dad supporting them as well , I have heard some daft ideas but this one beats the lot . I know the Arse supporters have nothing better to do , but trying to blacken my name , thats a bit unfair ! Never mind gives me a good reason to go on your site and enjoy myself .
Davo
PS . Why didnt you sign your name so I could reply direct to you . Perhaps you are the Oracle !!

Come on guys if Oracle is truly a supporter of our great team give him a chance, we're posting on a banter/rumour site. He may have been off the mark with his predictions, and backed them up a litlle too vigourously but it's kept everyone entertained for a while.

I actually feel sorry for the bloke and know how he feels. I used to post quite a bit but gave up doing it after I got so much abuse for what I had written.

As ever unless we are truly in the know! (and I don't think Harry or Daniel will ever post) we will have to wait and see....for the total unknown as usual.

{Ed008's Note - Totally agree Move on!

Agreed lets just forget it after all this is just a banter site .... I doubt highly anyone actually itk would post to anywhere on the web .... Oracle just a fan with hopeful ideas ...

Re The Oracle, I actually felt sorry for the lad but ed008 has exposed the fruitcake. I aint seen Ceefax on the Arsenal page but im surprised no one put one n one together quicker, or have the Eds known for a while?

spurs guvnor {Ed008's Note - Had to remove a part. Their was a discussion about it but let's just move on.

We all know that we are a few players short of a great team..a center back a prolific striker and a winger.. damiao has scored 28 goals in 37 games this season..he is 22 years old and is without doubt the best out there..25mil should snap him up..hazard would be great in the hole behind him, playing the van der vart role or on the wing..another 25mil..the center back is tricky...is samba top 4 material?. i have my doubts...maybe vertonghen 15mil...ade is ok but not enough goals and van der vart's legs are gone.injured alot and no speed..sell him for15mil...sell pav for 10.. dos santos for 5...jenas for 5...and a bid of 5 mil for eric abidal for cover..total outlay of 35mil..team-
friedel
walker kaboul vertonghen abidal/b.a.e
lennon modric parker bale
hazard
damiao

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Very sweeping statement to say that Damaio is the best out there. If you look at every league there are players which could match him....Higuain,Cavani,Gomez to name some of them.

I seriously do not believe Damaio is or will be a done deal for us, too many other teams now interested. We should have done the deal in the summer if we wanted him that badly...

What is this neymar bull that some of you idiotic people keep posting on here? I love spurs but for Christ sake this is a guy who at 20 is being touted as potentially one of the best around in years to come, not to mention a target for clubs like barca and Madrid. Even at the level he is playing at do you seriously think he going to say ' I'm sorry Barcelona but tottenham are calling'. No he is just not even a maybe!

Dear Oracle

Well it's all done and dusted and unfortunately It looks as though you were wrong. Cahill is officially a Chelsea player, Mr Levy quashed any story of us going to the Olympic stadium during the AGM and the Oracle Bashing season is about to begin. Lock and load gentlemen.

Looks like I was right to question you along. Oh happy days.

Flippit.

Ps Hopefully (as i have said before) Samba will arrive soon.
{Ed008's Note - I've just been informed that the Oracle is a fake and he posts on the Arsenal site as ceefax just to wind up people and the same with Spurs site clearly hasnt got anything better to do.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Hay Flippit, didn't he promise to reveal himself by Jan 31st? Whats he betting he'll just disappear without doing so. Well done for being the first to question him. Keep up the good work mate.

Franco

Agree0 Disagree0

He'll soon be back under another name. Rest assured fellow yids, I'll spot him and post a WARNING WARNING ORACLE ALERT !
Or would that be a BS alert?

Flippit.

Agree1 Disagree0

ED - You selectively edit posts to make yourself sound great but I can confirm one thing I have always been open. You spread some nonsense about me posting as Ceefax under the Arsenal site which is a complete lie. I have never posted any such posts and you are just throwing stones at a man who is down. I put forward my rumours which I thought were certain and you now respond with malicious lies.

The Oracle
{Ed008's Note - Prove me wrong! That's all i gotta say. The fact is Cahill was never gonna happen. I think everyone knew that. Everyone give him a 2nd chance.

Agree2 Disagree0

Wait so what team does the oracle support ? and who is ceefax ?
1732
{Ed008's Note - We dont know for sure.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ceefax is a nickname given to the oracle because it appeared that all his "inside knowledge" came from......

...... Ceefax !

Quite clever really. I can't remember who came up with it.

Flippit.

Agree0 Disagree1

ED - To be honest I feel it is poor form accusing me of writing something, then publically posting confirmation of the same false accusation. Then finally when I tell you it is not me who posts under Ceefax and your response is prove it!!

At least I post informed and educated posts and have the decency to admit I was wrong. You have dropped beneath me with you latest replies and I an happy to admit to writing many educated posts and getting one thing wrong.

I gave you Parker
I gave you Adebayor
I gave you Cahill
I gave you Damiao
I gave you The Olympic Stadium

I got one wrong and that Cahill when the player was clearly in the bag only for Chelsea to offer a ridiculous offer for a no better than good player. They paid work class money for a player that is just good, and it came as a surprise to most that they followed it through. You know it nearly collapsed and he was in the bag for Spurs, but they gave the player little alternative with the terms on offer.

Damiao is yet to be proven and the Olympic Stadium saga is far from over.

If Sir Alex himself posted that he would sign a couple of players and these turned out to be true, and then told you Gasgoigne was in the bag, would he be lying. Gazza was on his way to sign a contract which he had given his word on to Sir Alex who was so sure it was done he went on vacation. Suddenly in the space of a couple of hours he turned his car around and drove to sign for Spurs. I would expect Sir Alex would be called a plank or person and then the ED would make up some story he posted on the Arsensl site as sir Elton or something.

I got ONE wrong and am as shocked as Sir Alex was over Gasgoine he didn't sign for Spurs. I even apologise and admit I called it wrong and you want to kick a man down.

I retain my dignity and honour and you get a laugh at my expense.

The Oracle
{Ed008's Note - It's what i've been told. I'm happy to forgive and forget and move on and actually i mentioned Damiao early last summer and got it wrong so i know how it feels.

Well remy's said he won't be coming, sow said he wants to play for liverpool, where are we going to get the top class goalscorer we need to cement top 3 finish? I know harry's always liked huntelaar, who could score 10-15 by the end of the season, but its all gone quiet on that front. any ideas on who (if any) we may sign up top?

You'll get no one. Even if you win the league, no one will want to come to you. Your Spurs ffs.

for those saying Remy doesn't score enough goals, He's actually scored 21 goals in 44 games for Marseille, which I don't think is too bad, but on another note, choosing transfer prospects is far more complicated than how many goals they've scored for another team in another league, its really about how many goals they could score for your team in your league. Fernando Torres scored 81 goals in 142 games for Liverpool but this didn't necessarily make him right for Chelski, I like Remy I think he's fast, smart he's got a good composed finish, and he's in the right place at the right time, but most importantly I think he's got potential, He could be a far better player at Tottenham than he is at Marseille.

not coming anyway, but I'd like to see him join our squad in summer, for no more than 17.5mil
