I rather doubt he was checking the first team squad page on the OS before he made his mind up :rolleyes:
That is one of the most stupid posts I have read on here. Are you ten years old. Do you think players don't do any research into a team that they might play for. Especially when it means moving from s different country. Maybe taking your kids to new schools. Nob.

This is just the fee, wait 'till we have to negotiate the wages!

"Mr Joao, what a pleasure it is to finally meet you, both I and Mr Boas esteem you most highly. I am pleased to hear that you are eager to join Tottenham and I feel you could be a cornerstone in our team for many years to come. With that in mind, how does a packet hard boiled sweets (slightly sticky as they've been in my pocket), an old Commodore 64 and a signed (by me) copy of Now That's What I Call Music 34 sound to you?"

Based on some of his previous enthusiasm, I think he'd probably be quite happy if we just paid him in locks of AVB's hair...;)

Portuguese journo, no idea how reliable as he doesn't have many followers

João Ruela @joao_ruela
DN: Last offer from #Tottenham to João#Moutinho was around £20M. FC Porto demands £24M. #AVB will not give up on Moutinho. #thfc "#spurs
This is actually from a Portuguese national newspaper and the story is in tomorrows edition.
They don't have the story online yet so it may appear in the morning, but this is the headline - FC Porto demands to release 30 million Moutinho - Page 30

They already are much improved from last season imo, with the only question mark is the strikers situation as RVP was something else last season. If steve Bould coaches that defence in the same way as graham they will be challenging for the title if Giroud is a hit
They have lost their 4 best players in just over a year. There's no avoiding that point.

No. Do you really think I could make a go at it.


Yes. Just strap your headset on and let your glorious rays of sunny happiness and infectious positivity rain down on your audience.

If all else fails wack on a bit of Tina Turner and get the fuck out of there.

What's there to be positive about where we are at the moment. No new wing cover. One striker. Lost our best player to real or reserves. I do love a bit of tina tho so not all bad I guess.

If, as is beginning to seem quite possible, Hudd does not figure in AVB's plans then I have to hope that we are targeting two CM's rather than just one. In Sandro and Parker we're sorted for DM, as we are for AM with Gylfi and VdV, but what of CM if Hudd's out of the picture? Obviously we have the Modric replacement to come in but I really do hope that AVB does not see Jenas as the long term primary back up in the position. Quite apart from any arguments about his quality as a player, his fitness cannot be relied upon. We would need someone else.

Jake Livermoore perhaps?

Let's not off ourselves just yet though. I have a feeling we might be pleasantly surprised with the performance tomorrow and Levy may yet pull off a couple of coups before the end of the month.

Ah right, thank God I'm a link whore I guess. Totally misread. I'd be very happy with Dzeko myself.

Agree with this. I mentioned Dzeko a while back, the silence about him has been deafening.

Who's Gards44? The name rings a bell.

Heh! before you put your research hat on, they're not Spanish (the Spanish bit at the start refers to Llorente), seems the striker in question is Edin Dzeko.

Mark me down as...meh.

I would absolutely cream my pants if we got Dzeko. He is the real deal. If he can adapt to the Prem, he is the complete striker. Scored a goal every other game last season despite half those games being as a sub.

I think that we'd probably let slip the names of our potential targets to their agent though.
I hope we'd try to sell the club to them pretty early in negotiations. You never know.

I'm sure I've read in the last day or so a quote from AVB stating that he will not repeat the mistake he made at Chelsea by trying to overhaul the squad too quickly. I think we can therefore assume that the next few windows will see us busy with players leaving/arriving. Possibly the likes of Jenas, Bentley etc then not leaving until January or next summer.

In another interview AVB states that Kane will be his third striker this season so that strongly suggests only one new striker will be brought in.

The Gards fella has a sis who is going out with Bentley or something. I could have that totally wrong.
