carmine Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Cheers alf. Meanwhile we continue to build the best U17 team in the country. Is this our new transfer policy? Wait until Harry's gone...in 5 years time etc etc.....given he's deep in the mire down in SSarf London this week I can only asume this is being done by Levy and his scouts. Who is in charge at the Lane in terms of first team recruitment nowadays....does anyone know?? Bewildering..... i don't know if you are asking a serious question here smokie, but if you are then Bloomfield is probably the most important guy. I don't blame him for losing out on the likes of Suarez, he can only reccomend. Harry has a different adenda which i think starts with "whats innit for me". It seems that some on here don't think he'll get sent down....i think they're in for a surprise on this one. As a club i don't think we are going anywhere until the "high court/scrotum face/England manager" situation is sorted out. We can only hope it happens sooner than later. I think Levy would have moved him on already were it not for the fact we'd be milked by Redknapp for compensation. I'd be very interested in the clauses in his contract if infact theres a guilty verdict and i wonder if thats what Levy in banking on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's spending most of the day down in Southwark these days getting greyer. Clearly a worried man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abrak Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Well according to one of the football sites Chelsea are coming up with a 35m bid for Modric. Seems to me that is something of a score draw. Chelski get their man, Levy can walk away with his head held high. I am guessing but I have a feeling Levy will turn it down. By the way I cant help but feel that Harry is having fun sitting on the sidelines. If Modric is sold he assumes he gets a whole load of dosh to spend on the team. Meanwhile his official line is give me a whole load of dosh to spend on the team so we can show Modric we have the same ambition as him to be in the CL.

I'll stick with my estimate of 37/38m and then in effect Levy wins. Frankly, i'm more concerned about us buying a striker. Is anyone else bored senseless with the whole Fabregas/Modric/Nasri/Tevez business? Edited July 23, 2011 by carmine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone else bored senseless with the whole Fabregas/Modric/Nasri/Tevez business? I quite like the Modric soap opera but I think that both Fabregas and Tevez can basically disappear. I have to say the Spurs looking for a striker story is getting pretty tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokie36 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Homour is lost on some people I don't know what makes me laugh more...our supposed interest in Rossi at £30m plus ridiculous wages or the Sturridge nonsense.

We're offering more than the Arse so the club will prefer to sell to us....not that that means much nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one seems to have a clue about real value....not helped of course by Liverpool's antics. Madness. Thats not really fair on Liverpool. In the current state of the transfer market, if you are buying a youngster you'll have to pay an unrealistic price because everyone knows you have the prospect of a very good sell on value as the guy will almost certainly command a new five year contract. They have bought a relatively young crop of players. Where it all goes tits up is the silly money being asked for 30 year olds. Levy unusually messed up with Keane 18 months ago when we might well have grabbed 6m for him. He's now put a 10m tag on 3 meter Peter which is rich for a 30 year old. The time to sell Defoe is now. I'm not really interested in the transfer gossip until we sucessfully offload some players and i can't see it happening.

If you look at the reasonable prices Man Utd paid for their signings of proven talent and compare it with Liverpool's largely speculative buys it shows who is setting the market price. I agree with much of what you are saying....Levy is trying to flog cheap watches at store prices.....I reckon it could be a very busy last couple of days in the transfer market again...probably with us losing out on a top striker and ending up with Three metre and PSG leading the line. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abrak Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 BTW, serious question this, have any of you ever looked at buying Spurs shares or have any detailed analysis on it. It looks vaguely interesting although I havent done much work on it. The price has fallen from 180 to 50 over the last few years and the whole company is valued at 100m quid. Certainly it is solid as a rock financially. I havent gone as far as working out what the price should be. I happen to be quite a long term believer in these businesses. Anyway I can obviously get the R&A but if anyone has any investment research or placement prospectus let me know. I will happily give you feedback. A quick and dirty NAV consists of BV of 33p with players in at a BV of 116m. However the estimated market value of players with Bale valued at 18m is 258m. So that gives you an actual NAV of about 100p against 50p share price (excluding property). Anything or pointer to the financing of a new stadium would be interesting. BTW dont get the idea it might go up 30% in the next month. The price has been going down consistently for 3 years. I just know it aint going bust. And it might be the sort of thing to buy and tuck away for 5 or 10 years. One conceptual thought is that Etihad are paying Man City 400m sponsorship over the next 10 years. They could have bought Spurs and had 300m change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
