Use our rumours form to send us spurs transfer rumours.

31 Jan 2013 23:44:35
I am not happy that tottenham didn't sign a striker but it must be surely that we haven't got any money. Who could we of signed ( calmed down now ) this transfer window striker wise. Damaio wasnt available, seville didn't want to sell negredo, would Hooper make a difference ( would of cost 10 million). We have made 2 quality signings in freyers and holtby and perhaps dempsey and other players can step up to the plate till adebayor returns

Levy is probly laffin at us right now, I don't think there's even free agents in strikers that are available now either ha I had faith in AVB and levy geting a striker but iv lost me faith in levy especially to fill in the spaces in the squad that were obivous to everyone

Oh dear oracle! Your prediction appear to have not come to fruition! What now mate you going to start saying he has signed a contract to join in The summer just wait and see! Mate give it a rest now its boring all of us, I guess we won't hear from you for a while, well atleast till The next window!

Believable2 Unbelievable1

31 Jan 2013 23:24:28
Gutted. Simple. Needed a striker and got nothing.
Levy is lacking ambition, we all love spurs and are dispurute for CL. Levy out

Believable2 Unbelievable2

Be careful what you wish for!

Agree1 Disagree3

LEVY OUT? you make me laugh, go support some1 else we don't need you at Tottenham!
You blame the man for only wanting to make a signing that improves the team, not just some1 who fills a hole.
Getting fed up with you fickle fans who can't seem to remember back 10 years when we where nothing more than mid-table. At best! Tell me please when did that change? Yeah that's right WHEN ENIC TOOK OVER. We have bin a genuine top 6 side since. Also getting fed up with you all saying he cost is last January. WE CAME FORTH LAST YEAR and I'm betting that was our target? So where is the mistake by levy, how did levy cost us? Chavski purchasing Lady Luck in January cost us.
Also I don't see people seeing the other things that cost us 3RD place. 'Arry's court case, the fact 'arry was linked with England, Fabrice (Bolton player, can't spell his last name) almost died on our pitch (think of the effect that had on our players) all that came in the second half of the season!
Yes we do need a striker, but, we have a revitalised Ade coming back. Last year he was a must buy. Sound familiar? We are never happy lets face it!
We would be in championship at best had ENIC not saved us.
There's no loyalty in football these days. Lets show them different (like Everton, if they come 17th this year or next do you think the board will give Moyes the boot?) "we are Tottenham" some fans are forgetting what these words actually mean. It is simple as, from the ball boy to the owner we are 1 and all. Lets back the boys at every game from now till May, be that extra man. Lets take it to another level from the stands!

I don't normally sign as I think people behave differently based on the name at the bottom.
but I will this time

Agree3 Disagree4

I think you should support some one else. Enic saw a world wide known club and bought it dirt cheap and also go free ad from buying us. they have got there 50 odd million they paid for us years ago. Our club is self funded. 2011 profits 32mil ex transfers.
Our club is paying fat salaries to the likes of levy. We was an investment that paid off.
Ok fine dnt buy any one and dnt sell our best players that can get us somewhere the cl is huge for fans and club.
If we need to sell our best players to fund the club then he is not going what he is paid for is he. .
I repeat he bought a huge club cheap which can be sold for hundred of millions and we need to be thankful go away. Us the world wide supporters has done that for him because we love the club. He should thank us
One lucky deal with vdv and he thinks he is god in the transfer market
Oh well another 40-50 mil in the Summer from bale. Shall we still thank him again then or in may when no cl. And if we do get cl. Thank the players and management staff no him.
Ohhhhhhhhh 20mil from that 10mil for cl sponsors that's 80-90 mil for enic and co. . I'm so grateful. .
Sorry it's late my brain stopped but wasn't it sir a sugar that saved us from mr scholer spelling but I dnt care
Mr grumpy so call arsenal supporter g
Wish I had this much passion for
Woolwich ferry fc(few I can breath)
Mr g

Agree1 Disagree2

Well said well said well said!!!
The future is sooo bright & people cannot see that. . There literally was no-one to buy, not for the correct money. So can understand DL not trying for some £15mill non-entity.
My only issue is why did he allow Coullibay go out on line. He could've used him as sub loads this yr for experience. We need to be bringing thru the youngsters.
But stick together & you'l be surprised this yr. I still believe 4th is ours & we may beat Chavski in Europa final as revenge from last yr!!!
COYS

Agree3 Disagree2

We'll be lucky to finish 6th pal! Trust! Everton are renouned for finishing strong, and liverpool have hit form too! As much as it pains me to say that arsenal will finish above us too, we fall away every year through not signing the correct players or by letting youth go on loan! Coulibaly, Pritchard, mason, Townsend!

Agree2 Disagree0

Levy out, Arab millionaires in! Just like all other big clubs

Agree1 Disagree0

Mr g,
I didn't understand a thing you went on about but answer me this, does spending 17-20m on a player guarantee us 4th? No!
Throwing money at it won't make a difference. Again I point to Everton, as I'm told by others they are the threat, how many of there players are better than ours?
Dan D

Agree0 Disagree1

Lets remember that we are the highest placed club that isn't owned by oil giants and doing very well. . I believe we can get 4th and beat Chavski in final like I said above. We've lost 1 in the league in 11 I think and that was in last / minutes at Everton. We should've beaten united. Only downturn In events is Sandro. Believe in THFC. . We will conquer

Hope this proves that oracle knows nothing, my youngest could have predicted that we wouldn't get damiao, please let that be it now we keep bidding good money but his club want ridiculous cash for him, so enough now, I have heard that we had options but were quoted stupid money for players, personally I am gutted that we haven't secured a striker I think this will cost us, hope I'm wrong finally lets fast track fryers into the first team, Benny was an absolute disgrace against Norwich, coys

Hi everone,

Iv'e never posted on here but have been following this site for the last few transfer windows now. Anyway, felt it was time to voice my opinion and I am seriously pissed off!

As everyone knows, we should have signed a striker Negredo was there for the taking it seems, even Damiao and not forgetting Llorente!

The worst part is I can see Arsenal catching up with us now and grabbing 4th. that will HURT.

AVB has grown on me, I think he could bring success given time. Levy on the other hand is letting him and the fans down. The guy's a liability.

ugh.

ps. Oracle must have been jizzing his pants with all the Damiao speculation tonight. So close but no cigar. hilarious!

So after 6 transfer windows and yet more claims that he has signed, done deal, 100% in the bag, mark my words, he'll be here rubbishe. I have been proved right and Oracle has been proved wrong AGAIN!
Other than one essay claiming that unforeseen circumstances at the last moment ( how can there be any if he's already signed I wonder?) that'll most probably be the last we'll be hearing from him until June. But we all know he'll be back come the next window with all his usual big words, put downs and so called predictions.

Forget Levy out, time to launch Oracle out. All in favour voice your opinions.

Hope people will now stop believing all the shyt every window, big club with small club mentality, also hope everyone gives AVB a break when we inevitably fall short of CL qualification, not his fault he's been left with an inadequate squad!

Believable1 Unbelievable0

31 Jan 2013 23:18:23
As usual no big name signing and lots of disappointment come window day. How anyone can overlook the blindingly obvious striker situation we have us not only ridiculous it is also very bad business come CL and failure to secure CL revenues!
Very gutted spurs boy

Believable3 Unbelievable0

It's not just that levy hadn't done is job properly, it's also all these attention seekers, on this site and over the net, that seem to get some kind of satisfaction by posting complete bullsh. t.
Can someone please enlighten me why all these so called 'itk' post all their definite signings, when they clearly make it all up.
If any if you 'itk' read this, you are sad, sad people. One name springs to mind but I'm not even going to waste my time posting anything about that loser anymore. Yes, I'm a 'naysayer'. But I have reason to be.
I hope spurs can stay where they are in the league, but something's tells me it will be same old story again.

COYMFS.

Agree1 Disagree0

Don't worry the sale of bale & probably walker or sandro + not having to pay CL bonus to players will end up saving Enic money.
Everyone will bang on about levy out but if you look at it this way he's only doing what uncle joe wants him to. Our expensive flops like bentley & bent resulted in commoli falling on his sword saving levy's Bacon( excuse the pun). Would he be so lucky if he went out & got moutinho willian & Damiao & they flopped.
Like it or not now is not the time to take on debt it would only result in a firesale in yrs to come.
I'm not annoyed we didn't sign Damiao, his price is ridiculous for someone who has only scored 6lg goals in last 12months. What annoys me is our scouting system ok we got holtby but he was no secret but the lack of target options is a disgrace if there was any targets in first place, all propoganda bs imo.
I would of been happy with morata on loan from Madrid, what's the point of having relationship with real if we can't get a loan deal off them & if our scouts or whoever don't rate him then there persons & need bending over & given a good kick in the wotsits.
As it stands if parker or dembele get injured were screwed, Seville are in mad debt & am sure if we had offered 6ml a wk ago he'd be a spurs player now but if we can't even afford to spend 10ml then the future does'nt look good.

Devastated and disappointed. Again we're going to get the same offered so much but it didn't work. So gutted we didn't get what we need. I just hope to god there's something behind closed doors waiting confirmation. Sorry fellow yids, but it seems we have a real battle on our hands. Sure we have holtby who is a great signing, but we can't rely on Bale all the time.

Chin up yids, although it has been expected and it's truly gutting, we have to back the squad we have!

31 Jan 2013 22:33:52
Well, we'd best make the most of Bale between now and May because after the pathetic lack of ambition shown in this window and the the lack of desire to bring in the top drawer striker we've needed since Berb left he'll be off 100% and to be honest I don't blame him, a player of his ability should be competing for top honours and he's not going to do that at Spurs with Levy/Louis at the helm. Very sad, over the last couple of seasons I've really felt we were on the brink of something really big but we are going backwards now. Doesn't matter how good AVB is, if you haven't got the players you don't succeed simple as. Taxi for Joe Louis I think.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

We will sell him for £50 mill and levy will give avb £20 mill to replace him get a quality striker and a new centre half! Its an appalling way to run a club! He obviously doesn't want to pay cl wages!

Just as well he doesn't pay champs league wages - we aren't in it

You telling me in 31 days we couldn't even get someone in on
Loan we have prob cleared out 200k a week on wages
I just worried that our chairman is playing scout as well
Y dnt he get out Avb and manage us too.
He thinks he's roman Ab but roman shops in Hartford
This transfer window now tells me he didn't back arry last jan
Remember Saha and neilson deals. .
Mr g

Believable1 Unbelievable0

I wouldn't be surprised if AVB thinks 'oh fack this, I'm off in the summer'.
He hasn't been backed.
We had £23million to spend on moutinho in the summer, now nothing.
It's like trying to win a grand prix in a cortina.
You need the tools to do the job properly mr levy.

I can't see anyone coming in now especially a striker, hopefully I'm wrong, but if not we're ****ed, why do we leave things so late.

I'd take Hooper right now (not a popular opinion) but we need someone and he's a better option than Ade as atleast he would put in a real shift.

Rich B

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I think Hooper should be given a chance, I know it's spl but he can only score where he plays.
Besides if he was named Lopez or Rodriguez etc and playing in Spain he'd be worth twice what he is, just unfancied as he's a Brit playing in Scotland.
Besides he's a natural goal scorer and with the chances bale and lennon create it would score goals.

I am an accountant and I understand that D L must first and foremost balance the books, however, THFC is a football Club and football, not profit must be the main consideration. We lost out on CL football last year ( worth £40 million) because we did not buy a striker in January 2012. I find it amazing that DL does not appear to have learned anything. It is so obvious to everyone ( maybe not Levy) that we need a top class striker to convert all the chances we make. Levy appears to be happy to gamble that we will make 4th without having to she'll out big money. It is a huge gamble. I do not think we will do so unless there is a huge improvement in both Defoe and Ade. A potential loss of £40 million if we fail and also the inability to draw top class players to us. Finally, we can say goodbye to Bale if we fail to obtain CL. There is still an hour left. Fingers crossed.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

31 Jan 2013 21:38:49
Everyone is excited by deadline day which is understandable, but why has it taken Levy 4 1/2 weeks to finally get the wheels in motion for a striker? Everyone knows we've needed one, so it must be obvious to the board too. Inter have just said we didn't offer enough which for me brings back flashbacks of moutinho in the summer. I've always tried to be optimistic, but I'm at the end of my tether now. It's so painful! ARGH!

Lets get real guys, levy won't sign big this window, I'm sure he has been monitoring what arsenal, Chelsea, Everton and Liverpool have been doing. . We are 4th and they haven't signed anyone big, the way he will see it is that we can hold on and maintain place.

Would love to see a big signing but think tv need to Pick on another club to keep up their ratings and make money on bets.

Last minute cheap deal at best. .

Believable1 Unbelievable0

This happens every window spurs 'leak' a potential mega million signing then fall short.
We may sign diame but that's it in my opinion.
Forget damaio.
Forget negrado (he plays for Seville tonight)
We have ade, Defoe, Dempsey as our strike force. Let's just get behind them.

COYMFS.

Agree1 Disagree0

Levy is a pratt if he listens to you, Arsenal and Liverpool are gathering pace and look a threat Liverpool have signed a striker who has scored more goals in four games than Ady has for us all season and Chelsea have goals from all over the pitch and a Lampard will score more than the whole of our midfield we might better Everton but if we don't buy than I am affraid the Ars will beat us to 4th

Ade needs to come back and hit the ground running.
Defoe is now no better than a go to man from the bench.
Obviously holtby is our moutinho/vdv/modric and looks good too.
I think, with no new players today, that we can expect 5th/6th. We haven't got the firepower to get CL now in my opinion.
I hope come 11 o'clock, this post comes back to bite me, but, just in case. .

agree with earlier post lets shut the f. . up about damiao now sick of hearing the guys name mentioned he isn't coming was never coming three years this has been going on and I for one am sick to death of it, levy will be sat now watching arsenal and everton if they don't buy we won't buy, and if they do get someone in bang goes cl, we have known what we need since early aug but we will get the same old story tomorow, we were so close to getting him her and the other one but talks broke down fed up#

tv saying we're in advance talks with Damiao. . As much as I would love this to happen, I'd rather chuck £20m at a proven prem striker. From what I've seen of him, he's good, but not GREAT, but it's a striker who hopefully will be able to mix it at the top level!

Now I know that you'll be thinking, not great, but he was top scorer at the Olympics. . Yes he was, but the level of teams Brazil had to get to the final were distinctly average.

Deja vu by any chance? As Ed008 (i think) said earlier, a deal as complex as this is simply not going to happen in 3 hours. It's another Moutinho deal. We tried and failed, don't blame us, bla bla bla. Don't get your hopes up.

Hi guys. Spurs are in the same position as last jan. really need two players too push on and finish in the top four. Look what happened last time we got Saha and nelson. We will do the same again. So frustrating.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I don't think Levy wanted to back HR last jan as we thought he was joining England in the summer and I do believe he tried getting Damiao last Jan but because he couldn't we got in a temp (Saha). In the summer it couldn't be done because it was mid-season in brazil. Now the time is right. . I mean do you think AVB would've been happy not getting a 3rd striker in the summer unless he knew we was in jan?
Could be wrong but just a thought!

what are peoples thoughts on switching to a 4-3-3 now we have holtby on board,

if the midfield was parker/sandro with holtby and dembele ahead of him I think it would provide the creativity needed to unlock stuborn teams.

Similary playing lennon defoe and Bale in a fairly fluid attacking trio would have massive pace and good finishing in bale and defoe.

Thoughts?

Believable3 Unbelievable0

TottenhamOxspur, p. s thouroughly impressed with lewis yesterday, every pass was on target looks confident and commited, great signing

Agree0 Disagree0

Love Defoe, but he is defo carrying an injury and only scored 2 in 12!

Can't keep relying on Bale we need some more goals from somewhere otherwise by by top 4

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah I agree but I think with the options we have now this is the best formation, doesn't look like we're getting anyone new.

TottenhamOxspur

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree TottenhamOxspur,
There's no need for us to play with 2 defensive(ish) midfielders. Parker can hold the line and let Holtby and Dembele have the freedom they need to thrive. Each of them are capable of getting forward but also tracking back to help out. Would also allow us to take best advantage of the pace of bale and lennon, and would better suit the high defensive line imo.

Every year with Spurs tv and the papers say "it will be the late deal". Seems like its always spurs making the late deals so they get the tv ratings or website views.
Wish they would just change it to another team we all know we won't get the big signing at 2300hrs.

If levy does not sign a striker today then the guys needs to be forced out of our clubs by us fans. everyone can see that we need a striker, everyone could see this last year too and he did nothing. every year is the same thing with him he leaves everything to the last minute that is why we will never win anythign again with him running our club. this is also the same guy that said that true spurs fans wanted to move to the olympic stadium when the true spurs fans wanted to stay in tottenham, the guy doesn't care about our club, we need to get him out of the club!

We are all holding our breath, waiting to see if Spurs make the big signing that might help us push on to Champions League qualification. I almost hope we don't.

I recognize what our needs are, but I can't help feeling that if we haven't done the deal by now, it probably isn't the right deal.

I work for an organization with a turnover bigger than Spurs. If anyone in my company wanted to make capital spend of (say) £5m, the approval process would take weeks, if not months. It would involve a detailed business justification which would be scrutinized line-by-line by the Finance Director. Even when he had agreed, there would probably still have to be a presentation to the main board to get their approval.

That is why I am staggered that Tottenham signs contracts many times bigger than that, just hours (or minutes) before the transfer deadline - and so do many other clubs.

For the first time in the past 10 or so transfer windows I feel as though Levy and co are actually going to do something. The interview with AVB post Norwich game said a lot more than the words he spoke, I studied Psychology and Body Language and mark my words he was not telling the truth one little bit. I can see the following happening (I am NOT ITK, so don't crucify me for my thoughts!)

Ins;

Negredo
Moutinho

Outs;

Jenas
Bentley
Thudd (Although I still think he is a great bench warmer)
Townsend (Loan)

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Really don't see moutinho happening but would like to see him place next to dembele and parker back on the bench, but wishful thinking.

One thing I will add though is that I read that Porto have bought full ownership of him now so there are no third party deals to complicate things.

But we have to expect this won't be happening now not last day again.

One of those times I'd love to be wrong but I don't think so. Levys lack of ambition plain for all to see now. No team that is serious about going places goes into a season with only 2 strikers (1 during ACN) (CD isn;t a striker whatever AVB says) any chairman with a bit of ambition would have seen how our lack of firepower lead to us not winning games we should/could have (QPR, Man Utd, Norwich) and contributed to a humiliating defeat at Leeds. Cast your mind back a couple of seasons to when we were in relegation zone and Levy quickly found the money for strikers when it looked like we might lose all the SKY TV money but now he's too tight to fund the signing that would take us on a level. We are going no-where with Levy/Louis in charge because there's not the drive there. Very sad but true.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Couldn't agree more, Manchester United have RVP, Hernandes, Wellbeck, Rooney, the have Podolski, Giroud, Walnut, the Ox, Gervinho, Chelski have Ba, Torres, and goals from Lampard, Hazzard, Mata, Oscar, and a right back who scores for fun - We just don't score enough goals from all over the pitch to only have Defoe, Lazybaore we are relying on Bale and Dempsey every game!
