If that Journo info is true, that's a pretty good deal. Near £20m for 3 players who really aren't/shouldn't be near the first team, plus three big hits off the wage bill (say, £150k a week ish, probably north of that).

Three places also opened up in the squad.

After that, there's only really Gio and Bentley to get rid of, plus Bassong if we do get a CB.

I'd be happy with a window of:

In:

Adebayor
Parker
Cahill
Brad
Couple of kids and loanees

Out:

Keane
Crouch
Gio
Bentley
Hutton
Jenas
Bassong
O'Hara
Wilson
(the last two I think are good enough to stay with us, but there you go)

That's the spine strengthened and the chaff cut off.

Ruiz ..great signing by Martin jol...Harry/levy you should have got him, great price too..this guy is highly rated in holland and wanted to come to spurs..
Well we better have someone good lined up if Ruiz is not good enough for us..

haven't seen him so no idea if he's good enough but over the years players who have been superb in holland have bombed more than they've succeeded when they've moved over here. but if he does do well, and we've certainly been aware of him for ong enough, it would be a major fuck up

Maybe Schalke spending the money we're supposedly giving them for Huntelaar?
Reckon Niko 'd do well in the Bundesliga.

They're completely screwed. They had to sell Neuer to Bayern.

Remember that JTG has been told a great many things over the years, few if any of which have had much basis in reality.

I wouldn't be happy with that, I think we need Diarra and another striker too, leandro would be great. I'm still hoping we can pinch afellay tomorrow too

We're missing a huge opportunity by not signing Ruiz. He's the best player in the Dutch league by far. Would be great in either VDV's or Lennon's position.

I really hope Huntelaar and Farfan come off. Would be happy with Huntelaar, Ade and Defoe with Leandro coming in Jan and Pav leaving in Jan.

What both of them???

yes. Farfan has 12months left and will not sign a new contract. he will go for peanuts compared to other fees.
Schalke have already signed 1 forward this window, promoted another from youth ranks and have a replacement lined up for tomorrow. they have about 7 forwards.
