Tottenham Hotspur: "To Dare Is To Do" II

[chileman]

How bad was that ground last night...definitely have drainage issues but good on them for playing 40 min halves anyway for the fans!

 

[Twizzle]

it is privately owned but I dont think they spend much money on it

terrible surface

 

[Twizzle]

finally agreed to terms with Valencia and Soldado should be announced pretty soon

€14 million up front, rising to €30 million over the contract period

 

[boxhead]

Over the moon, but a bit more expensive than I would have liked. Well, at least Levy is quite obviously backing AVB, and Soldado seems a very astute purchase.

 

[Twizzle]

Cant remember the last time we had a quality striker

Madrid still doing their best to tap up Bale, lucky we have a gag on him atm as some of the reports are so far off the mark its not funny

RM have made an offer for him but its so low its laughable, no where near what is being reported, and as far as any recent quotes, he just hasn't made any so most of what is being reported is all made up or very old quotes that are no longer relevent.

 

[hellteam]

It does sell papers but I'm surprised that the English media are buying into these Spanish reports so much. So many of their stories are clearly made up and I get the impression that the press almost want him to leave at the moment.

They will regret it if he does because it's been a tough offseason for the EPL as far as signings go and to lose one of the few true stars left in the league would be pretty devestating for everyone involved.

 

[boxhead]

Anyone else notice that the Spurs official Twitter account posted something along the lines of "On this day, Jurgen Klinsmann signed for Tottenham". A sign? :lol:

 

[ggmu]

Tell me u guys aren't gonna sell Bale to Madrid? They think they can have whoever they want would love Levy to stand up to them and give them a firm go f**k yourselves.

 

[Twizzle]

Would do if we had a crystal ball but from all reports its very unlikely due to his recently signed sponsorship deals.

He'd have a shit load of money to pay back to the EPL and BT.

 

[Twizzle]

Looks like another young CB on the way.
Gee I wonder where all this money is coming from.

4 years a long time in football huh.

 

[hellteam]

I laughed at this one

 

[Twizzle]

Just reading up on Chiriichs (sp) he looks a good prospect for a 20 y o.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Haha hellteam ... that's horrendous!

Shows how far bale has come I guess.

It'd now cost 100million pound AND Downing for Bale. 85 million for Bale and 15 million for taking Downing off of your hands.

 

[Twizzle]

Seems Caulker is off. Did not see that one coming.

 

[hellteam]

Yeah, not really a fan of that - definitely must have 1 or 2 lined up at CB

 

[nöyd]

Seems Caulker is off. Did not see that one coming.

a terrible decision if true

we'll buy him back on the cheap after cardiff go back down

 

[Deacon]

Soldado just confirmed on twitter by the club, subject to passing a medical

 

[hellteam]

AVB in his presser after the Monarco game last night "Bale is not for sale".
