Tottenham Hotspur: "To Dare Is To Do" II

[boxhead]

Too much to hope for regarding Pep....

Seriously, looking up the articles on Harry's sacking is a circus ride of hilarity. The English media sure do love a beat-up.
I didn't know Harry was the victim after Levy supported him during his court case for Harry to turn around weeks later and lap up the F.A's supposed adoration and neglect his contracted role.

Frankly, I would have been happy if he stayed but I agree with this decision.
I don't know enough about Blanc to get too excited.
AVB would be a good choice, and more than likely a better fit for us than he ever would have been at Chelsea.

 

[G.I.]

Looks like its AVB

 

[Twizzle]

nothing has been decided yet

 

[Twizzle]

looks like all compasses point to AVB, Blanc is being asked to sign a contract extension with the French national team due to their success at Euros which will take him off the market

I know a guy who now knows who's been appointed but he wont say for fear of losing his job as they are pretty stick on leaks at WHL and he's paranoid about spilling the beans

I just wish it would happen soon so we can finalise our ins and outs for this season

looks like Corluka has found a home at Kiev with Nikko which is about 11mill (combined) more spending money for us

 

[boxhead]

Yay.

 

[Twizzle]

sounds like Gylfi Sigurdsson has been a sneaky signing, came out of the blue

 

[G.I.]

f**k i hope so, i remember he tore through us when we played Swansea

 

[Twizzle]

Sounds like a lot is going to happen at Spurs, I just wish we would get our manager situation sorted

If its AVB apparently he is still under contract to Chel$ki till June 30, so he cant sign till them, and Blanc has been in the Euros with France.

I've never known things so tight at Spurs as far as leaks go, even those who know whats going on wont say for fear of retribution

The Gylfi info has been leaked because a few people spotted at WHL doing a medical yesterday, all just rumours of course but seems a pretty strong one.

I expect Modric to leave but for a fair amount of cash which gives us plenty to spend. Looks like Ade might stay as well.

 

[Deacon]

you would think the Sigurdsson signing signals Modrics departure to Real. Good business I say. Rumour has it our manager will be named on the weekend

 

[Twizzle]

1st of July I beleive there will be announcements on manager and players including Vertoghen. I think we went for Sigurdsson when we missed out on Hazard.

Mourtino seems to be top of the list for Modric replacement, if we dont get player plus cash for Modric. Levy wants Sahin plus 30mill.

One thing is for sure, we are gonna milk this Modric transfer for all we can get.

 

[G.I.]

Sturridge anyone?

 

[Twizzle]

pass, hardly an upgrade on anyone

 

[Deacon]

[Twizzle]

I heard we were negotiating a new upgrade for him but these things generally drag out for ages, looks like Dan the Man got his finger out this time.

Nice work

 

[hellteam]

Happy with that, he is much mote important to us than modric and vdv

 

[Twizzle]

I agree, he wants to be here and rat boy doesn't, big difference.

Looks like AVB is being announced in the next few days, going to be a busy week next week.

 

[Twizzle]

expect a big 7 days

sponsors/investors (no take over contrary to press reports, Levy will remain as chairman)
new manager
about 3 new signings (Vert, Siggy, possibly Ade)

 

[Twizzle]

looks like its being announced today

and this guy seems to be high on our priorities list

3 mids out and 3 mids in seems to be the formula

 

[Deacon]

Lets see already gone.
Corluka($5.5m), Kranjcar($5.5m), Nelsen(free) and Saha(free)

GK-Friedel, Gomes(I think hell stay now with AVB here), Cudicini.
-Wouldn't be surprised if we looked for another 1st choice keeper soon(outside the club), don't get me wrong Brad is great but age isn't on his side now. Hope Gomes pushes him

Defenders-Kaboul, Gallas, Dawson, King, Walker, Rose, BAE, Khumalo.
-We need another Central Defender, King wont last much longer, Gallas probably will go. Hopefully the lawyers work out the Vertonghen situation sooner rather then later.

Midfielders-Bale(staying), Huddlestone, Lennon, Parker, VDV, Livermore, Sandro, Bentley(will go), Modric(good as gone).
-Yep will pick up 1 or 2 players here Sigurdsson, Mountinho(probably will be priced out of this move), Oscar.

Forwards-Defoe, dos Santos(interesting to see if AVB wants him), Adebayor(will become permanent).
-We will surely be entering the market for a striker or two, hopefully AVB raids, some of the Portuguese talent hes coached.

Gomes and Cudicci I expect to be gone. Lloris is no 1 keeper target and we already got some young fella from memory who will be third string.

Defenders-Kaboul, Gallas, Dawson, King, Walker, Rose, BAE, Khumalo.
-We need another Central Defender, King wont last much longer, Gallas probably will go. Hopefully the lawyers work out the Vertonghen situation sooner rather then later.

Verts is done, King has been offered a coaching roll and wont play again. Gallas to Spamers. Rose is probably off as we dont rate him and will be replaced, Khumalo is on loan to a greek team. Caulker will go on loan to Swansea again but I think that will be his last loan as he is coming along nicely.

Midfielders-Bale(staying), Huddlestone, Lennon, Parker, VDV, Livermore, Sandro, Bentley(will go), Modric(good as gone).
-Yep will pick up 1 or 2 players here Sigurdsson, Mountinho(probably will be priced out of this move), Oscar.

Bently to Fulham, Modric to Madrid for cash, no player exchange, Siggy and Oscar rumoured to be strong, Moutinho top target gut very expensive around 30mill but he is keen as hell as he wants to play under AVB again

Forwards-Defoe, dos Santos(interesting to see if AVB wants him), Adebayor(will become permanent).
-We will surely be entering the market for a striker or two, hopefully AVB raids, some of the Portuguese talent hes coached.

Dos Santos to Malaga, Ade staying, JD staying. Nothing on any striker targets as yet but Leandro was in London last week and could have talks/medical but no one knows.
