Time: 10:59
Site: FTL

Levy not in Russia

if his going not sure but his 110% not there and wasnt yesterday either

they want him [Arshavin] but its not easy deal as has been suggested

we have loads of other players lined up this from top table if we dont get arshavin

[Update 261] BEN on Berbatov and Arshavin
Who: BEN

Time: 18:34
Site: COYS

last week i told u it was 30% chance he may stay this has now risen to 50% obviously as time has gone by it seems like i am just putting two and two togther to some but no as noodles stated. they ahve tried to keep him in group because the situation has changed. his not delighted to be at spurs but there is now as good a chance he will stay than go... and if i was sticking my neck out he will kick off with us v boro from what i have just been told!!!

i dont no whever i am happy or not!!!

I no very respected itk like scout has said berbs definatly off but again this comes from as high as it can come apart from levy!!!

arshavin again there still telling me the deal is very very hard and mr levy pissed of having to speak to 15 different people all the time!!!

but they do want him badly!!

[Update 154] Ben re: Bellamy/Richards
Who BEN
Date 9th August
Site FTL

Mcgeady signing moscow so celtic now pushing for a big singing as there fans depserate and they had a free games yesterday for season ticket holders and only 17k out of 32k season ticket holders turned up so there pushing for bellamy as a big signing. city prefer to sell him to celtic he prefers to come to us but he did enjoy his time up in glasgow so could be 2nd choice.

Keane villa will push through or try to as soon as milner leaves which has become obvious but we will only sell once we got who we want in up top which at this moment looks like bellamy one they have chance with.


Levy harry have sat down now and levy is now trying to get the couple in levy wants.

Richards unfortunatly has had good pre season for city one of the only few and city making life very hard for us to get any of there players even though they had at start of summer agreed to sell richards to us

Levy has been abroad last week speaking to a player no idea who but forlan was not here but arry does like forlan as well.

Anceloti is someone if Arry goes England high on his list

No question of arry leaving before next year though.

We are trying the deal is expensive so knowing us be hard to do.


I think his utter class but he is very lazy at times but can play wide or up top id go for it there is a real lack of good strikers about at the moment he fits the bill of a class act

Following on from this report in Italy :

Alessandro Lucci (the agent of forward Mirko Vucinic) has arrived in London to negotiate a deal with Tottenham Hotspur. The Premier League side is interested in signing the Montenegrin for 15 million Euros, but AS Roma's asking price is 20 millions. A deal could be worked out in a few weeks on the basis of 17-18 million Euros.
