We (fans) are not the only ones getting frustrated guys. I was told today Harry is also very frustrated. He expected us to have at least 2 first team signings on top of Friedel by now and at least four players out. I'm told we should have a new striker by this friday!

but do you mean a striker who is going to start, in other words not one of these up and coming kids...that your source is referring to? Can you clarify if you know...thanks.

:evil: Should neg rep you for that. Now every time I come on here I'm going to be picturing everyone with their cock on their key pad shouting out come on.

Think everyone is just getting a little frustrated that we've not bought anyone. Do yourselves a favour, go on holiday, do some work or something. But whatever you do put your cocks away.

every day i come on read bickering on here i neg rep myself

Has all the season ticket money and TV revenue come in yet? For the smaller teams this might be why there is little movement, also hopefully with Downing going to Liv then money might start moving about.

Any further news on GDS? If we can get rid rid of him and Keane, along with the money from Jaime and still don't sign anyone then I can understand people getting upset.

This window has seen this thread at it's worst. I could well be wrong but for all the threats of the banning stick, has it been used?

The answer to your concern in your question is yes. Yes it has.

any news on wilson palacios deal going thru?

surely we must be signing diarra now that harry has come out and said parker a no go. i have feeling we might hear news on diarra this week.

only speaking from the outside but maybe we have a few deals (outgoings) that are waiting for a incoming to trigger them off, so as to not leave us short if we don't manage to wrap them up! :shrug:



That sounds dangerously close to a transfer strategy, I demand you retract you statement post haste!

Thw likes of Kane and Caulker have not got much of a chance yet,so i cannot see any change by Arry.
Have we even taken any youth players to SA?

You need to realise that a lot of money and effort has been pumped into the youth set-up - the start fo the art traiing centre, the creation of jobs for player integration right through from the academy to the 1st team, the establishment of innovative partnerships across the globe in order to identiy and acquire young talent.
I really can't see Daniel Levy spending money like that on something he will allow to be discarded.

I think this has been the strategy for a while now. It really started under Frank Arnesen, moved onto Damian Comolli and now Ian Broomfield is keping it going.

I think it's still going to take more time before we really see how good Ian Broomfield is at this level. But the targets we're linked to of late look very promising....

on Wikipedia :shifty:

As above, Levy has made this policy a lynchpin in his policy to make us genuinely competitive again.

How does this thread get to 31 pages with only minor snippits to go on?

Spam. That's how. It's getting beyond a joke...

back on topic, what strikers (besides the youth options) are not away playing games in foreign shores? Just asking in relation to CM's last update. If we're close to a signing it must be someone who is easily accessable for personal terms? :shrug:

Agree...
If people don't want to know about ITKs info then they should even be in this section IMO. People pass their snippets in good faith. It may or may not happen! this is football, this is money! So as someone said, lets take it with a pinch of salt...

I had £10 e/w on Johnson Thursday morning at 80/1

Maybe we should lump our winnings on whoever the next piece of ITK is about will join by the end of the week. Eek

Who is it please? Sorry for lack of ITK but my source is in SA and won't speak with him till he is back next Monday. But at least I should get lots of ITK. And hopefully we should have some new players anyhow. Yeh I wish

I dont know who it is otherwise i would say. I've been hassling my source but he hasnt told me yet, he doesnt want to reveal incase someone else comes in and trumps us at the last minute..All he said is he will be a first team striker so not someone like Coulibaly or Pedrozo Whitam.. Personally in my opinion i think its Vucinic. Also Palacios has agreed terms in principle with PSG and is just waiting for the clubs to agree a fee..

Yeah your source is quite right not to reveal who it is.

Heaven forbid, football agents working for other clubs might be reading our forum and will know who we are after. Its not like football agents and other people working in football circles like journos, etc dont know who is up to what. No not in this day and age of email and the internet.

Well if it is Vucinic why is your source not letting you know? Vicunic and Spurs have been linked heavily in the italian media already. :)

I think its Vucinic just because of all the media reports recently...And although we have been linked with him so have a few other clubs so...:shrug:

Information FM, Lens: Tottenham will propose 3,5 M€ for Serge Aurier

17/07/2011 - 21:10
Relegated in League 2, Racing Club of Lens will have to be solved to let leave some players to strong commercial value. Thus, after Varane, other young hopes of the club could leave in the weeks well to come.
And according to our information, Serge Aurier could belong to these. Indeed, supervised on several occasions by Tottenham, the defender convinced the leaders of Spurs to pass to the action. An offer of 3,5 M€ should be formulated by the boarders of White Hart Lane



http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translat...erge-aurier_69982&lp=fr_en&btnTrUrl=Translate

Serfe Aurier is an Ivory Coast right back circa 18 - has played for the first team at Lens (Lens site shows 5 starts and 2 appearances off bench).

Not sure how real this story is - he has previously been linked with other premiership clubs including Man City etc - but would fit with Spurs youth strategy, except that with Kyle Walker, Kyle Naughton and Adam Smith we appear well covered for good young right backs !

Thanks for posting this but this isn't ITK

The form is that if you see anyone 'new' linked in the media, you start a thread on him in Transfer Rumours :up:
