Vidal DIDN'T want a Spurs move. It wasn't stupidity on our part, but informed acceptance that he was off elsewhere.

I believe Vucinic is coming to Spurs................we are the only club bidding and Roma are trying to squeeze us for a bit more money...........this will be sorted in a few days.

I believe the only reason we didn't go after Vidal is that Harry reckons Diarra is better and we will get him shortly.

Nothing will shatter these beliefs because they are the only things keeping me from insanity.

We're going to end up with Huntelaar and Podolski out of this. Guarantee. After all of our targets, we are going to end up with these two. And it will make the Sugar days seem like 1960 fucking 2.

Well, You do like watching the Bundesliga, we'll have a bit of Bundes at our own club :lol:

It annoys me when I see people write "If only we went in for Vidal..." etc etc etc. Even if we did, there are no assurances that he would have wanted to come.

I trust that Levy et al will get the best striker possible for us, and if that's a Huntelaar then so be it. We can't expect to attract the likes of Rossi, Aguero etc etc.

Even if ends up being KJH...it still could be a very shrewd move. The guy has extremely good finishing ability and has played with VDV numerous times.

He could score a lot of goals infront of our midfield.

I hope he doesn't as i have order the black kit with modric on the back. And I'm sure spurs won't refund me either.

I had the same thing, emailed the club shop people and cancelled the printing. Even if he stays, he's tainted for me by wanting to go to Chelsea of all places.

This isn't ITK but more of confirmation of ITK from one of the best sources in the business. I'm mates with Honigstein and I asked him to clarify his information on Marin's valuation. He is saying that Werder are indeed skint and as little as 10 million euros could tempt him away. I imagine that is common knowledge to most clubs. I don't think we are going to have the option of picking him up on the last day of the window though.

If that is true then we should buy him tomorrow, great chance to get a potentially world class player on the cheap.

Cannot see a place for Marin our side, but for as little as 10 mil teams like Aston Villa and Everton should be all over that.

I never have and I never will
In this instance, however, it is pertinent to state that Redknapp has publicly stated that the Chairman is trying to do something in regard to these two players, specifically, (Adebayor and Rossi) as it confirms a lot of the ITK we have heard.



Sorry, Journo, but I think you have failed to understand at all. I didn't say that other sources had said deals were being struck for Rossi and Adebayor. I said a lot of ITKs (Spurs specific) have said that we are interested, or that Levy is trying, and the manager himself has publicly confirmed this in regard to both these players. And yet you said, specifically, that you had heard nothing about these two players. That is, quite frankly, odd, and I asked you to explain it.
Vucinic is different, as Redknapp has never confirmed anything about him, but well-respected Spurs ITKs have stated that discussions are taking place. That seems strange if you are correct and we have had no interest in him.

I wouldn't doubt the plausibility of Redknapp appeasing fans by throwing some big names, spuriously, into the hat. But, to repeat, I do find it strange that most regular Spurs ITKers have said we are trying to do something with these players, and with two of them Redknapp has confirmed it, and yet you initially said you had heard nothing. Redknapp's utterances, at least, were in the public domain.


I would point out SP that equally there has been some ITK on all 3 (ABe, Ros ,Vuc) Basically stating the negative, to the positive.

and TBH using a H Quote as a defense, is a bit thin.

Thanks for info journo, Personally i thought alot of it made sense, and does sit with some other info previously posted.

Thomas Muller, now that would be an outstanding signing! lets hope Wednesday validates the Rumour!

If Departures of jenas Crouch, Hutton this coming week = super




NOTE: For those of you like me who are in a time zone plus to the uk, and start this thread on the last page, The Journo info can be found in Steve's Update, (thanks again Steve) not in RO room (no idea why)
