Am I reading Jasper's ITK from last night correctly.
It seems to be saying that Adebayor will take a wage cut if somebody pays him what he will miss out on.
I should have tried that with my bosses at work.
I'm sorry but I doubt very much that Redknapp would openly discuss transfers and player happiness with some fan who turns up at any sort of event/training/game.
Just heard from a friend who works at the club.
There are 4 bids in for 4 players 3 at £20m and 1 for £35m the club is confident that all 4 deals will be done. All he would tell me was that ONE PLAYER IS UK BASED. He said I would be delighted if all goes through. he will pass more info when he has it.
I actually think the club would undertake that level of spend - we should get £30m+ from sales and we made £30m from the CL last year that leaves £35m as our spend..... not beyond the realms of possibility but trouble is its unlikely that all four bids would come off
Is Vucinic injured.
Yeah apparently Luis Enrique has said that Mirko has had a operation.I very much doubt it, It's just Roma BS to the media, Luis Enrique apparently said it but I'm not buying into it at all, I don't see how overnight a muscle injury can turn into a knee op.

That deal for Bojan seems very odd. Effectively Barca are paying Roma 1m euros to take him for a year?

I really don't see why so many members are talking it down like it is totally implausible.
Several high profile figures within the club have stated that our transfer dealings will be a statement of intent.
Several ITKs have confirmed this.
We spent virtually nothing last Summer, even though Redknapp stated the money was there for big signings and we always have a specific transfer kitty
based on a percentage of income, which has been increasing.
Ditto January - and I, for one, just plain do not believe the conspiracy theory that it was a publicity stunt. As stated several times, I think Levy, in particular just underestimated what would be required to bring top strikers to the Lane.
We would aslo have a dedicated sum for transfers for this Summer, no matter what.
To which we can add CL money.
To which we can add the many outgoings that should net us a fair sum (on this alone, we will probably only be spending £35 - £45 million, net, depending on how much we get for our players (and Levy is an arch negotiator:wink. I'm fairly certain Levy has backed that level of spending before.
We have more to sell than we need to buy, in terms of squad places, so, having money to spend, it is logical that we can sell a lot of less valuable players and buy a few more valuable players.
Levy is massively ambitious - I think a lot of Spurs fans just don't get this. His stated aim when he became Chairman was to make us competitive at the highest levels again, and return the club to transfers like the unveiling of Ardiles/Villa (a media circus I remember:grin.
I'm not saying it will happen - but all this it's double the transfer record, we've never spent that much before is just extrapolation of the most pessimistic kind.
4 bids of 95m quid plus contracts.
LOL
