Total shit. You're not talking about going to the shops and buying a pack of sweet. These are deals involving transfers of assets worth multiple millions and huge commitments from multiple parties to get the right deal for themselves.

It would be suicidal to go around spunking money on more than a player is worth to us by just going in and getting it done. The selling club may be happy to wait until you're desperate for example.

Why do you think Madrid haven't just 'gotten it done' yet with Modric? Because he's fucking expensive and they could theoretically save 10m.

So there you are ! We now have a very "UnHappySpur"

To add to that, Happy, there was a baffling reference to a 'French Cup game' on Saturday. It is. of course, a friendly against Montpelier in NY.

It's the supercup. The community shield equivalent.

Unlike the post I quoted, I am happy with our summer so far.

So far, I agree with you. In addition to Vertonghen and Sigurdsson we've also had Bale and Caulker sign new contracts.

I think I and many others are just beginning to get the first trickles of cold sweat breaking out as we realise we are a long way from being 'battle-ready' for the new season, and with a manager that needs to shape his team we're very much up against the clock this summer.

Adebayor, Leandro, Remy....fuck it, if we've still only got Defoe and Kane as our recognised strikers when deadline day arrives I'll settle for Emile Heskey in a Drogba mask.

Apologies for posting the other tweets but I feel it's kind of necessary for the context

BackPage. @BackPage
Tottenham are set to come back in for £20m rated Internacional striker Leandro Damiao after seemingly missing out on Emmanuel Adebayor #THFC

Ryantegan @ryantegan
@BackPage Thats almost accurate :) dont be surprised to see both

akqayid@akqayid
@ryantegan @BackPage Itll be those two

Those two would make me a very happy boy. Add a GK, wing forward and Modric replacement and the season ahead will be looking very rosey indeed.

AVB chased Willian last summer didn't he.
This is from last summer:

‘I would love to play in England,’ he told the Daily Mail.
‘The league is one of the best and there are some great clubs here; clubs with big players who play attractive football.
‘I like Chelsea and Arsenal’s styles a lot. I’d be very happy to play for Tottenham too and help get them back into the Champions League. They’re a very big club.
Willian has been impressing scouts all over Europe with his stellar performances in the Champions League for Shakhtar, and Benfica have reportedly had a bid rejected for his services, but it’s clear the Premier League is the former Corinthians ace's destination of choice.
‘I like London a lot,’ he adds.
‘There are so many people, lots of shops and restaurants. It’s like Sao Paulo.
‘I think my style of play would suit the Premier League.’

Could easily be from this summer!
Suggests that at the least, his agent is keen on getting him to London, and has been for some time.

If we sign those two this summer I'll get a bank loan, hire a billboard on the North Circular and have a picture of my nipples blown up and displayed there for a week.

If ITK distresses you so much then why do you read it and participate in an ITK thread?

Honest question.

Wouldn't you be better off just waiting for the club official announcements?

where does it say im stressed out by it.??. i find it hilarious on here if anything . spurs will do bare mininum and thats its with regards signings. if we want to compete in the top 3 or 4 now we are simply going to have to buy at least 5 or 6 players excluding what we have at this very moment in time. for me thats at least 2 strikers. a winger/ wide player . a modric replacement . a goalkeeper .

If we can't afford them, hope AVB is given time, at least 18 months to try to find and develop some young talent.

total shit . if madrid want him like they say they will get him . yes they are trying to save a few quid but spurs wont relent .. thats obvious but we are not talking about dealings between spurs and madrid and modric here. im talking about spurs as the buying club not selling club.

listen i cud ramble on and on like you can but bottom line is .. if spurs want to challenge and go for trophies then proper players cost decent money. bidding pennies for them isnt going to work and pronlongng the whole process. end of.

if there is an agreement between a player (that he wants to leave and would be interested in joining spurs) and his club then get the deal done asap thats all im saying. we missed out loads of times im sure . now i know agents come into play here and they get up to all kinds of shite but levy is around long enough now. i think spurs are naive in transfer market myself and not clinical or decisive enough.
