As I posted earlier, Huttons done, and good as gone. Said goodbyes to a few people. Doubtful for training tomorrow.

@Journo - It is interesting to hear the difference compared to what say some people close to management/staff or players is different to what you have heard.

It makes for an interesting few weeks I guess.

Germany is a hot topic tonight, mate just text me saying Chelsea selling Alex and replacing with Subotic. Regarding "DER" no one thought of Erin Derdiyok, plays for Leverkusen?

Checked the ITK log and Jacob is not on the list but I'm sure he is held in good regard on COYS as ITK, Its not the first time I've seen him involved in ITK.
what has he wrote on coys??? that the journo is talking rubbish??

I don't get you lot. 80% of you would have loved Huntelaar before he went to Madrid. He will work with VDV, we know this because...wait for it...he has already many times for Holland.

The bloke can use his head, and both feet and has experience in every major league in Europe and has always maintained a reasonable goal return. He's much harder to knock off the ball than Crouch, Pav and Defoe.

He's a far more realistic target for us than many of the ludicrous dream signings we keep bandying about.

25m??? Could you really see DL paying that?

Whoever used the goat via the mods obviously didn't want to go public with it...

Yeah, I understand that mate and think you have it but I thought it was put in cryptic form to protect a source. How could being the second person to link us to KJH out them as the stool-pidgeon?

@StartingPrice: Why have you started to believe anything that Redknapp says?

I never have and I never will
In this instance, however, it is pertinent to state that Redknapp has publicly stated that the Chairman is trying to do something in regard to these two players, specifically, (Adebayor and Rossi) as it confirms a lot of the ITK we have heard.

StartingPrice
Just because all the other sources are saying deals are being done with Rossi and Adebayor doesn’t mean they are. From what I have read, you should already have signed 4 strikers as deals have been agreed. But where are they? Time will tell and I will not change the goalposts. I don’t know how well they have done previously.
Harry Rednapp has also said if I am right; that the Adebayor deal would only ever be a loan deal. And Man City have also stated that they are not prepared to loan him again. Which sort of deals with that anyway. I believe he is appeasing the fans while the real deals are being sorted. Rossi is a no goer.
I think many are believing what they want to believe and are being told what they want to hear. And i have not given times on when a player is going to sign for Tottenham. I would for Villa which is why I expect bids for 2/3 Tottenham players by wednesday.

But only time will who is correct.

Sorry, Journo, but I think you have failed to understand at all. I didn't say that other sources had said deals were being struck for Rossi and Adebayor. I said a lot of ITKs (Spurs specific) have said that we are interested, or that Levy is trying, and the manager himself has publicly confirmed this in regard to both these players. And yet you said, specifically, that you had heard nothing about these two players. That is, quite frankly, odd, and I asked you to explain it.
Vucinic is different, as Redknapp has never confirmed anything about him, but well-respected Spurs ITKs have stated that discussions are taking place. That seems strange if you are correct and we have had no interest in him.

I wouldn't doubt the plausibility of Redknapp appeasing fans by throwing some big names, spuriously, into the hat. But, to repeat, I do find it strange that most regular Spurs ITKers have said we are trying to do something with these players, and with two of them Redknapp has confirmed it, and yet you initially said you had heard nothing. Redknapp's utterances, at least, were in the public domain.

I would certainly welcome him if he was to sign - if it was for about £15m or below. I just cant understand how his value has risen so drastically since his £10m move from Milan to Shalke. I do agree that he would suit our system though, but I think we could do better. If we were to sign him, and one of Llorente, Ade or Vucinic then that'd be great.

People keep suggesting we should sign two very similar uber strikers. This isn't going to happen. If we signed Huntelaar and say Adebayor or Vucinic what would happen to VDV ?

No not agents. Close and to be fair their roles do sometimes overlap especially since agents have had more power.

Lawyers ?

i think some people are mis-interpreting where my information is coming from. Rest assure it is not an agent. I made sure I got assurances from the website owner before giving details of who my source is to the moderator. I wanted assurances that would stand up because my source has worked closely with someone at Tottenham.

Huntelaar would be good business if, say, we offered £1.2million per league goal he scored last season

It's the price we're balking at, not necessarily the player, right?

I want Monday's Leandro
Tuesday, Wednesday Osvaldo
Thursday it's Adebayo
But Friday's for Mirko

Saturday then,
Sunday linked to Klass again,
Friday's still not if but when,

Monday linked to Carlton Cole,
Tuesday, Wednesday takes it's toll,
Thursday no-one to score goals,
But Friday, still Mirko
