Think DL is gonna have to smash wage structure to get any of players mentioned.. AVB needs to keep targets quiet cos CFC always get involved pushing price n wage up... Frustrating!
Llorente has gotta be main target tho , surely

Believable1 Unbelievable1

I am not claiming to be ITK but I believe that Llorente's favoured move is to Italy with Juventus and that Juventus are already in talks with Bilboa over a cut price move this Jan, I sure the Ed's can confirm or deny this. I feel spurs have lost out on this one which is a shame as he would be a fantastic signing for us.

THFC4EVER {Ed002's Note - Whilst Fernando Llorente is still interesting a number of clubs talks of a January move to Juventus have again taken place with agreement on personal details reached with Llorente's advisors. Whilst Chelsea, and I suspect Manchester City, have dropped their interest, a number of other clubs were scared off by the size of the transfer fee being asked by Athletic Bilbao, regardless of his contract expiring in the summer. There is now a very good chance that he will move in January rather than waiting for the summer. Recent interest from Arsenal, Spurs, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona has been ramping up but will likely come to nothing. Athletic Bilbao are not getting value from the player right now and are resigned to losing him and I suspect will seek to get Juventus to double their low offer to facilitate a January move. His alternatives will be to sign a new contract (very unlikely), sign a pre-contract in January for a summer move or to let his contract run down and go for a good sized signing on fee.}

Sharbini linked with us on some sites left midfielder and scores quite a bit is what i have read but anyone really no?? Respect to Kevin-Prince Boateng

Sharbini played here in Split for Hajduk, He scored a handful of goals here in a relatively talentless league. I don't think he has scored at all this season since transferring to the Saudi Premier league. Sharbini is not a Spurs caliber player, I saw the post on a website too, but it does not make any sense.

He's not the quality we desire so it's simply agent talk.

I see Spurs website confirmed the Zeki Fryers deal from Liege. To say Levy is shrewd would be an understatement!

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Is he shrewd enough to buy a striker and a creative cm though.Pull up Daniel.

YYYYYYYYYY can we do our business right at the start of the windows instead of panic buying on the last day........ surly u have months to chat to other club in principle and players and agents, just cant do the deal b4 the window.....I feel we have lost out on a great deal of quality over the years due to last min dealings......and in the long run 2-3 million for the player that makes the difference is a no brainier.........finger our levy and make it happen as we r so close this season getting it right.....Levy took a big gamble getting avb in at the lane so now he should back that manager and bring in who AVB wants to push us in the right direction..

mr g

Agree2 Disagree0

Yes we do mate...I agree with that.

Hopefully they might pull there finger out this time.
It's from various sources I'm reading that we have agreed deals for holtby and friars, to be announced in next couple days.
May only be pure itk rubbish as usual tho.

COYMFS. {Ed008's Note - I think Fryers will happen in the summer just a thought.

Agree0 Disagree0

No time like the present.
George. {Ed008's Note - I didn't think he could link up straight away stay the rest of the season with Liege what a surprise.

Agree0 Disagree0

LOL spoke too soon first Zeki, now Holtby. Remember we arent arsenal/liverpool, we learn from our transfer mistakes

Damaio having medical at White Hart Lane, and Levy has ordered removal trucks to move the contents of WHL to the Olympic Stadium......

Willian deal has hit a stumbling block, he wants his mum to move with him, ive advised Levy to allow this as ive told him how nice it is to live at home with mummy.....

These are 100% true.....im always right

lots of love

Dearest ORRIFICE.....

haha !

Interesting to note that someone (with a name ever so simular to yours - lol) failed to inform us of the deal for Zeki Fryers.

I find it strange that the person in question seems to think he knows absolutley everything that goes on inside the corridors of power at Spurs HQ but has never mentioned something that all of us knew would happen the moment he turned up a Leige.

No mention of Lewis Holtbys pending pre-contract either....

Interesting indeed.

Cue the Oricles onslaught and back tracking.

Flippit-e-flipflop.

Just my opinion but I think we nneed a left back, another forward and a new centre half, haven't heard anything concrete about us going for anyone in this window, people I know have said AVB is happy with the squad, not so sure myself but have to give him credit as he has surprised me as manager, COYS
Bunnydayid {Ed008's Note - He's not happy with the squad he knows he needs to add more players he's just saying it to keep Levy happy.

Believable0 Unbelievable2

Do us a favour , why do we need a centre half ???????? Agree with the other two though !!
Davo {Ed008's Note - Gallas leaving at end of season, i would think Dawson would be allowed to leave for the right price and Kaboul has injury problems.

Fryers from standard leige, will be an excellent signing and I remember saying back in august that this could happen as spurs have a link with standard.
If this is true, it just shows what a businessman Levy really is, would have had to pay £6m + in the summer, but a free transfer to a european club in the summer and pay silly money for him now, very clever and IMO Lewis holtby on a free will be a very good piece of business, I watch the german league every week and he looks a good player and will add to the squad only problem is he wouldn't be guranteed 1st team football. We still need a striker and the Damiao rumours seem to be doning the rounds again, not sure how good this guy would be, he looked good at the olympics, but all the bigger clubs seem to have dropped interest in him.
We certainly need a striker, I for one hope we dont go for David Villa, whilst he was a fantastic player he is now 32 and we need to be building for the future. Not really sure who is available at the moment, who would A) come to us and B) who would be a Levy siging I.E cheap.

IMO January will be a slow month for us down at the WHL for transfers, hopefully it wont cost us to dearly again this year and moreso I hope I 'm wrong

I said the same in the summer mate when fryers signed for liege.
Has all the hall marks of a levy deal.
I wouldnt be surprised if he turned up now or in the summer

Not from my usual source but I had the privilege of sharing a drink with someone high up at Spurs after the game on Tuesday. We got on to the subject of Bale and when asked how we keep him he said Champions League and two players of similar calibre.

When asked who he said very little but they would please a lot of people

When asked about the finance for such deals he was very abrupt and said someone already let the cat out the bag once it's not going to happen again.

Not much I know but the signs are good.

Lewis Holtby to spurs could well happen.
AVB is interested in the Schalke star and it has since emerged the 22-year-old favours a switch to White Hart Lane.
