carmine Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 http://www.standard....uy-8062934.html There a lot of info in this particular article, all bullshit? perhaps not. It would not surprise me at all if the Pjanic gossip has substance because you wouldn't leave your eggs in one basket dealing with Porto and related football agents and we may get shafter over Moutinho. I hear the Adebayor deal was done today and we are in final negotiations with another strker. i am just praying that its Damiao although i'd be very surprised. In truth the papers don't seem to know diddly squat so lets hope i've heard right about Ade Listening to talk sport podcast keys and gray with tony gale as a guest and and they were raving and surprised no one been in for another player u fancied Carmine, Dembele, they were saying that he would well be a shoe in for Modric and probably not such silly money as porto and the likes are expecting, i didnt fancy him, but as always would be happy if the player were to prove me wrong. Love to see Dembele at Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In truth the papers don't seem to know diddly squat so lets hope i've heard right about Ade Some talk about Llorente but if we bought him and Ade then we would have a problem as too who plays and no doubt tantrums from the one who doesn't, really need either an up and comimg who we could bring in gradually or an old timer who doesn't mind playing second fiddle, someone like Berb but obviously not him. Can't see Llorente coming to us mate. Look at the wages he's on, something like 140k a week isn't it. Think he's rather overated personally, just a big lump upfront.

But Dress it as you will but ultimately with bassong it is a negative picture he didn't come up to scratch and was a poor and expensive signing and I think if we'd had made some dosh levy's/spurs pr machine would/ and have been in the past quick enuf to blow their trumpet ,were at least 7 ish down and i suppose the positive is that it's good to lower wages,but clearing dead wodd aint a particulry positive pic alfie , it s more like pr talk for clutching at straws, weve fuc_ked up but lets not call it that lets just say ec ect the other side of the picture is that these fringe players could be looked on as strength in depth, but there we go!!! I'm disappointed vb didnt give Dawson more of a go, after his last 2? years of injury woe he's bound to be a little rusty and will probably need some time to 'get up to speed' i would sooner have him in than gallas.but thats football. wish him well he's been a good player for us , but 7'25 mil plus add ons aint bad money but who knows what would have happened if he hadnt suffered those injuries, they talk 22 for agger and 23 4 lescott ide say 18 mnths ago he was up their with them if not better !!!!

carmine Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Its an unbelievable bit of business especially since we need to buy one more. If this happens it would be a fair bet that Defoe will be sold whilst he still commands a sell on value and AVB will use harry Kane as a 3rd striker. Defoe is 29 but we could still get around 8m.

Thats 100%. This would make Defoe 3rd choice and he'll want away pronto. add to that AVB is happy using our youngster Harry Kane as his 3rd choice and you will have a very realistic chance of signing Defoe.

I'm not sure about keeping Gallas over Dawson either. I expect Gallas to spend catleast half the season injured. I am no fan of Jenas and never have been. Defoe wants to play for England and will not achieve this sitting on the Spurs bench which is what he'll be doing and i have sympathy for the player. he knows he'll get regular first team football elsewhere.

Alfie, I reckon undisclosed 4 bassong means we got v v little, yeah u could well be right with gallas at his age maybe we could do with another but i'm pretty sure were gonna run with verity caulker gallas and kaboul thats good and maybe has potential but tbh it dont strike me as a top 4 central defence.. Oh and apparently we paid adeboy an extremely large signing on fee to cover the difference in wages he was getting at m city and what our structure allows.

rijit Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Sounds a realistic summary of where we are at with our transfer situation, i still reckon vdv will be off .http://www.guardian....re-villas-boas? and seems champions lge was not the clincher, ,shame he's one fuc_king good footballer http://www.bbc.co.uk...otball/19364375 Oh and interesting comment from one of the guardian readers regarding dawson I know he's not Usain Bolt, but his head is a magnet for the ball. I can't remember many instances of him fuc_king things up. He's got a great attitude and plays with a smile on his face. He's young, England international etc. I don't really see any light between him and Players like Cahill to be honest, so why let him go so (relatively) cheaply? I get that if your system relies on high line, pressing, pace etc. then he might not not immediately seem to fit, but there's got to be value in having defenders that can actually, you know, fuc_king defend.Just hope this AVB knows what he's up to, TBH, and that we aren't back to the disastrous 'Hey! Let's sell all our strikers' Ramos summer of 2008. Edited August 24, 2012 by rijit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was that statement that fueled speculation about Dawsons future at the club. gallas stood in against toon. Where did you hear Dawson was named captain?

Asked on Friday who would replace King as skipper, Villas-Boas said: “We have our reference this year, which is Dawson, and we hope to keep it that way but towards the end of the window we will have a better idea of the players that stay with us and come in. “Dawson will start the season as captain.” http://www.mirror.co...be-sold-1272859 Edited August 24, 2012 by StevieH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
