When I'm lying in my bed....

Probably because Cuellars move to Rangers has fallen apart... Maccleish said the money they raised covered Nzogbia, Given and Bent... IF they sold Cuellar they would of used some of that to buy Hutton...

Gico on ftl yesterday said it will be announced Friday (the adebayor deal) hope it's before.

Harry has been to see cardoza enough the past 18 months and for him to watch him last night would have to be a serious opinion change. In my eyes it's more likely to be Ruiz he was watching

ryan mentioned Rossi may still be on the cards last night.

I for one am hopeful, most likely to go to the wire as expected.


Already been confirmed by ITK's and the general consensus is that we will not sign him.

BEN says Modric and Crouch not playing tomorrow. "Injured" Ahem.

Also regarding Modric :

his not going but until window ends his head not in right place he obviously wants move still

Someone asked what the opinion was from the City end re Adebayor, well here you go...

Read on from here..

Seems like their ITK's are confirming it to, which is going down well up there!

We still scare the shit out of them!!!

POTL regarding tomorrows game :

[Modric] Claiming he has a thigh injury.

Short on numbers, Hudd isn't really ready to play 2 games in a week, Jenas is out with heel problems, Sandro out, Wilson struggling with his knee.

Livermore could play.

Just sent my work colleague and email on Adebayor due to his ITK at Man City's end and here is the reply.

" I was told Man City and Spurs have reached a compromise, and i would not be suprised to see him in the Spurs squad by the time you play the other half of Manchester on Monday, i presume you are happy?"

Seems all systems go

I think about life and I think about death....

Think Chelsea may give up on Modders soon. From what I can gather from a mate of mine (claims to know someone ITK) they may well be getting Juan Mata and then taking Kaka on loan

Wayne Veysey connected with Spurs? He claims that Spurs don't think Modric's thigh injury is genuine

Adebayor loan being finalised today...
still negotiating with RM about Diarra. We are not willing to pay anymore than 15 million for him..He doesn't have a squad number and is not included in Real Madrid's 25 man squad so we are playing the waiting game on this one...

We are interested in Ruiz but as a backup option...He is desperate to come and Harry was impressed when we played FC Twente last season...
Just waiting on a few players to leave now...Gio,Bentley,Hutton the main three.

Still chasing a CB too as Bassong is not sure about staying with us this year, Gallas and King have injury problems.. Harry really wants Cahill but there is alot of interest in him...Samba + Tasci other options...

Also to back up the journalist on this one...There is interest in Farfan...We were close to signing him when he left PSV...And Afellay on loan is also a goer...

The priorities at the moment are very clear: Centre Back, Centre Mid, Centre Forward.

And then a Winger (GFTS) and another Striker would be dependent on outgoing transfers

CM

Redknapp confirms talks with City RE Adebayor on yellow ticker SSN

On BBC too now. Must be close.

Nice to hear POTL say Niko is staying (over in RO).

Whilst certainly not worthy of the RO section, Jacob on COYS has responded to the Adebayor thread with a

smiley.

So he's happy enough.

Particularly appeals to me...

Noodles info posted in RO

Diarra/Adebayor coming in together since for some reason everyone has them down as best of friends?

Two from RM?

Rafael and Fabio?

I would be very surprised if the 'pairs' does not relate to Wilson and Crouch going to Stoke. I know an ITK said that Crouch doesn't want to go there but if it a choice of playing regular football or sitting on our bench and ruining his England chances I would be surprised if he doesn't leave.

There is one 'pair' that we have heard a lot about, Journo's Schalke pair.......KJH & Farfan Eek

I think 'pairs' means transfers will happen in pairs...i.e. one in one out.

We pretty much have to do that so it would make sense.

Tim & Gary Cahill.

Oh, paperwork on Ade almost completed, announcement expected shortly.

Harry just said on SSN, that if Modric stays, midfield is an area he'd like to bolster, and added we have '1 or 2 irons in the fire'

Guy I spoke to this morning said it's potentially with the league now with them looking into all the intricate wage and fee arrangements now.

Just got a text off my mate with a photo of Lassana Diarras range rover parked outside a housing block in Hampstead, he was showing people around a flat (he's an estate agent) and as he came downstairs Diarra's car was just sitting there and he walked past him.

I'll get the photo uploaded.

This was posted an hour or so back on bluemoon by Andyrey regarding Adebayor, I'm assuming he is Man City ITK which could be a might cock up, but honestly have no idea but thought I would share anyway....apologies if I've been naughty just a slap please not the stick!

"Completed.

Season long loan with option to buy for £12m

Spurs pay £85k pw, we pay £90k pw

Lennon or Bale not built into the equation.

Bum deal if you ask me."

Old Grey Yid on PS, just posted this ( from Luton Airport on his way up to Edinburgh )

Quote:
On my phone at luton but just got this
"fuse lit, no loan fee for elephant washer but paying all his wages £170k a week! Enter other players agents"
He's against Adebayor coming, btw, in case you couldn't tell !
Old Grey Yid has been contributing ITK to PlanetSpurs for five odd years now. He's had a lot of good info over the years, but is staunchly against Adebayor coming

Harry on talk sport. Levy in the U.S

Wasn't there ITK about levy being on holiday. Probably the only reason he is in USA. Makes you wonder who did the adebayor deal

That and the fact that he has a home in Florida and his kids to go to school over there

Thomas Hitzlsperger has joined Wolfsburg

Don't know if posted but...Sorry not ITK mods.
News:
Emmanuel Eboue claims Tottenham made an approach to sign him before he joined Galatasaray.


Hilarious quote from Redknapp regarding watching Ruiz.

"I don't think anything is going to happen. He's a good player that I have watched before. I just like going to watch football matches so I thought I'd just go and see the game."

What a wheeler-dealer!

Harry talking absolute sense. Answered everything perfectly in my book. But watch the nit pickers and haters find something to fuel their angst

Good interview by Harry mentions all the things getting people out... and looking at getting a a couple in... fingers crossed...
