@sidlowe Don't know. Think unlikely. RT @JamesMawFFT: @sidlowe Alright old chap, Fernando Llorente to Spurs - not gonna happen, right?

It's a journo from FourFourTwo magazine asking Sid Lowe who is one of the top Spanish journos.

Has he really? We have no proof that he has been willing to put up a dime. He didn't in the summer. Sure he can spread some lines about willingness to break the bank, via ITK, but that's just PR baloney. At this moment I am inclined to believe that he won't. His total outlay this winter has been a million on Pienaar (after the Bentley loan). What worries me more is that he can't. Why might that be.


I think you will find that we have actually made a profit so far, as we got a cool £3m from the bent to villa deal

The problem is we are (at the moment) sitting in 5th place and up against a good AC Milan side in our first season in the Champions League.

All the top players will be looking to be playing in the Champions league year after year, and at the moment we cant guarantee that.

If we dont get a striker this window and still get CL, then i think we would look a better option to some of the better players about.
We got lucky getting VDV, cant see it happening again

just about to post thie same thing! :clap:

Harry said earlier in the window that levy was trying to get him to spend money, if harry doesnt then frankly he has let us all down. we needed to in the summer, we still havent but at least we have another left midfielder

just had a search for sidlowe on twitter and it seems about 6 people have asked that exact quote, all without reply so maybe there is something in it?

Harry saw him in the mould of VDV

lets move onto the summer and say we signed Carroll (no.1 target)

Suarez would surely be second fiddle to the guy who has made most impact in the premier league this year

At £12m not so bad a risk, but the pressure to play him at £23m? probably too much in truth


it seems this has a lot of validity:clap:

IMO i think its a shame though, but repped for the clarity

sounds like he is elsewhere as he has tweeted about having breakfast or something and smelly people...

Wonder if this bid is to:-

a) False Barcode's hand on a £25m deal for Carroll

or

b) False R Madrid's hand in signing Llorente, thus freeing up Benzema

Lordy, there will be some angry fans if nothing pans out come Jan 31st. I like the sounds of Llorente, but not for stupid money.

Hate the fact that Harry wasn't imaginative enough to pull the trigger on suarez. that's a little dissapointing. then again, he's the gaffer, and he should know best, right?

I love 'facts' like this.

I just realised what nicdic posted was his reponse the "don't know, seems unlikely" is the reponse to the question

@sidlowe Don't know. Think unlikely. RT @JamesMawFFT: @sidlowe Alright old chap, Fernando Llorente to Spurs - not gonna happen, right?

i still have a nasty feeling that we will end up with carlton cole at 11.59 on monday. what amazes me is that if we did indeed have targets, why wasnt most of the work done prior to january, rather than wait to being the process in january, cos that what it appears to be like

That will be ok as the deal won't go through then as it will be about a hour too late :whistle:
