Not doubting the info at all but i;ve been through too many summers of being promised a 'marquee signing', a 'signal of intent' etc..etc.. to know it has a high chance of not happening.

You would assume so, but for it to go so long without any kind of link, and the wording of 'Poch has something in mind' suggests otherwise to me. More like when we enquired about VDV, walked away and then got offered him again. Not sure we are lucky enough for lightning to strike twice...

I think we have to remember that Levy seems to have tightened the reins with regards to information slipping outside of the Spurs office - hopefully discussions and negotiations for a 'special player' have been going on for a while - and perhaps is all set to go as long as we shift a player or two.

Still hard not to get a little excited! ;-)

Regarding the bit about Eriksen: it's incredible to me, but I won't be too concerned if he leaves. We've had quite a few players step up the last year, and I actually think he'd be fairly replaceable, now.

The Grey Fox info is encouraging. Although I hope the Eriksen info of him leaving next season is incorrect as I feel we have not seen the best of him yet. He is still very young and has so much talent. IMO he will only get better.

Dayum....that was some ITK update right there.

I know who I think the special spanish player might be but for fear of my butt hole I dont want to start a guessing game or be inundated with optimistic ratings either.

Fuck your butthole.....er....I'll rephrase that, bollocks to your.......er, no!! Never mind, JUST SPILL THE BEANS!!!

With Grey Fox's info in mind, maybe the 'special' player will be an uber upgrade on Eriksen, if so, then it will be a fond farewell to Christian next summer, if he decides to go.

Not to mention, this would only have a chance of happening if we get guys off but it sounds like we'll have a verrry hard time doing that besides for Yedlin and Bentaleb.

The Eriksen bit is probably about raising his value along with his salary. It's a win-win situation as the club gets more money from the sale and Eriksen not only gets a hefty raise for a year but also a bigger bonus when leaving.

For good or for ill, the only way we keep the Eriksens of this world is if we match their ambitions, which means we need to be challenging. So let's just do that then :)

I think my source was indicating that it won't necessary be a mega millions purchase, but someone who Poch thinks would make a big difference to the current squad.

At this moment in time, I do not think Eriksen can do any better than Spurs. There's been rumours of Juve but they've got Pjanic. For me, he's important for us (tactically very astute) but too inconsistent as of now to attract the elite clubs.

EDIT: I am referring to a sporting context. I bet he can get a better financial package at other clubs.
