Just imagine if we did get hulk and mouthino are squad would be amazing. Levy splash the cash!!!

Believable3 Unbelievable6

I just don't see Hulk coming to us! we will get out bid by Chelsea same as we did with Oscar,money is everything in the game now days. let's face it Chelsea, man city and PSG have got a lot of money to spend on who ever they like.
with modric on his way out i do agree we need to spend that on a big player to show we are not a selling club, but a must is to get in to the C/L next season other wise we could see big players go.

It is alright you saying, 'Levy splash the cash', Levy could splash it all he likes but they would not want to join Spurs!!

I think it's fair to say that everyone is thinking about who we want/think we can get/think we need this window at GK, CM(modders replacement) and a striker (assuming we already have ade)

So assuming that we get 35 mil for modders, giving us maybe 60 mil or so to spend overall (I'm an optimist :L) who should our targets be? For me there are a few guys I'd personally like to see

GK: allan mcgregor - in all honesty I'm not sure if he's moved to turkey yet, but if he hasn't he is a quality and experienced keeper available for a cut price which leaves money for other positions

jack butland - I don't think this one needs an explanation, however Birmingham want a high price for him and he is still young and learning, though he could be our Joe Hart (young talented keeper) for years to come.

Cm: Wesley Sneijder - This is a bit of a pipe dream on the face of it, but think about it. He's disgruntled at inter much like rafa was at real, wages would be an issue but then again rafa must have taken a cut, and I can't help thinking that he is one of the few in the world who is better than modders. Getting him is very unlikely, but I think it's worth a try.

Joćo Moutinho : I think we all know about this guy by now, he is a quality player, at the same level as modders in my opinion, but the problem is the £32 million that is his buy out clause. His ties to AVB are known, question is can he do it in England? and if he can't £32 is alot that could be used to help sign 2 or three players.

Joe Allen : I remember a few months ago I posted that I want allen at the lane to mixed reactions. For me he is a cracking wee player, great vision, great passing ability, still developing in certain areas but then so was modders when he first came here.

Striker : Klass Jan Huntelaar - every transfer window for the past few years we've had the Huntelaar rumor, the hunter to spurs for around 20 mil, and every time I've prayed that it was true. The guy is exactly what we need, a natural goalscorer with both feet and head. Playing for us he's a 25 goal a season man. The thing people say about him is that he flopped in the big leagues, but i honestly believe he wasn't given a fair shot at AC or Real, just ask Schalke what he can do.

Hulk/Facao (the porto boys) : The reason i group these two together is I think they are both as unlikely as each other. With hulk we have more of a possibility, with the oh so intriguing hulk avb hotel photos, possibly avb telling hulk to join spurs. However I doubt Porto will sell him for a price we can match. With Falcao it's a case of demand. If he really is available then most of the biggest clubs in Europe would be scrambling for his signature. If we got Falcao I'd be over the moon, but i think I'll be playing upfront for spurs before him.

These are the at least semi realistic (or reported) options I think we should go for, do you agree or are there others you'd like to see?

Finally if possible I'd like to know from the ed's the situation regarding us trying to sign the players on this list. Thank you :)

.................Cavani
Bale.............Vdv.............Hulk
........Modric.......Sandro
Ekotto...Vert.....Kaboul....Walker
.................Vorm

if we were ambitious enough, this team could become a reality

Agree0 Disagree3

Steed.....and some of us wonder why other fans come on here ridiculing and slating us.
Wesley sneider? Come on.
First and prob the last time I have seen him mentioned on this site.
The majority of the signings on your list we have no chance in signing.
We need to get real

Agree2 Disagree1

Cavani is not a chance as they are looking for 78 million for him.

Agree1 Disagree1

At guy telling me that I'm the reason we are slagged by other fans, are you serious? Did you actually bother to read what I wrote or just looked at the headlines? Whats more Sneider is the only one on the list that we haven't been linked with this window. Why don't you read it then criticize me.

Steed

Agree0 Disagree0

Reading the comments, I think you also need to read what the guy quoted steed. He didn't say you are the sole reason, he said comments like your are why we are getting stupid comments on here from other fans, and, I think we do need to get real snd stop mentioning these names.
Hulk won't come, nor falcao.
Def no sneider
No huntellar or butland.
Prob moutinho will come
What you must of realised by now is that every transfer we do, is dragged out in the press so levy gets best deal possible for the club.
I'm sure they are purposely leaked.
When was last time (except deadline day) that we was surprised with a transfer?
The targets in the press will be the ones we will probably get, with the exception of a world class striker.
Ade, Defoe, Kane, coubily and maybe a 15mill striker will be our frontline (maybe the French guy)
These are only my opinions tho

Re the Oscar post lastnight on rumours, we did have a deal agreed thats why i came on here and said we were closing in on him but Internacional accepted Chelseas bigger bid.

Believable6 Unbelievable1

This will always happen now. Man city and chavski will always outbid everyone if they want the player.
This is the reason we have missed out on butland. The chavs would love him sat on their bench as cech's successor

Agree3 Disagree3

Yeah, nothing to do with the fact that they just do not want to play for Spurs!

Can't blame them, no C.L and your best player is going on strike to get out!

Agree6 Disagree5

I think you are forgetting that they have Courtois as his successor, the boy was absolute class for Atletico Madrid last season so why would they want someone who is relatively unproven over someone who has excelled in 1 of the best leagues in the world and in European competition.

Agree4 Disagree0

They dont need to outbid on the fee. Like it or lump it Chelsea are a much bigger attraction than Spurs, both teams could offer same fee and same wages and 9 times out of 10 players will choose Chelsea. Pull your head out the bloody sands

Agree4 Disagree2

I cant think that chelsea would be interested in Butland they have already purchased Thibaut Courtois who is on a two year loan at Athletico Madrid. This lad is going to be something special.

Agree2 Disagree0

Yea Chelsea would be a much better option......as long as thi don't mind playing max 20 games a season.
Now pull your head out of the sand, one of these days you are looking at a player revolt and the rest of the prem will laugh at you.
Then again, who wouldn't mind sitting on the bench at 150grand a week. The reason you got Oscar and hazard is cos you offered more money than us. Great tupeifoerson you are employing.
Good luck thus season, I think you Are gonna need it

im a forest fan
just wondering if we had a chance of signing jj on loan

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Zero chance. Buy him, I'm sure we will let you have him for free provided you pay his wages.
