Except this is Tottenham, so we will end up having to play Bassong and Huddlestone at CB for half the season as everyone else is crocked!

Haha. But this is why this is so good. I think we have not wanted to go out and pay big money for another CB who will consider themselves first choice because of the King situation. It has been far too unsettling for the back line to have so many different pairings throughout the season.

We have had a number of stop-gaps and fill-ins, but dare I suggest that Vertonghen is a long-term successor to Ledley?

Wow, looks like the rumors of Levy wanting to get our transfers done early might be true for once

Now just to sign Ade and Leandro and keep Bale and perhaps Modric and i'll be quite happy with our transfer dealings

Quite happy!? I'd be over the moon with that!

it's a shame luka will be going as vertonghen could be good for him as he's very comfortable on the ball and brings the ball out from the back ... meaning luka wouldn't have to come and fetch it in his own third so much ... c'est la vie.

C',mon Blakey.....let's enjoy this for the moment. Can I top off that half-empty glass?

Although I fully expect Modric to go there's the slight possibility that some early signings might convince him of our ambition.

We finished in the Champions League places and are looking to strengthen. He could hardly say we weren't moving in the right direction.

so why Vertonghen? why autocorrect? i'm a simple man.


Basically, most of the site has been in a terrific mood today for no reason whatsoever, and as we were having fun with noah's misspelling of Vertonghen's name as Vertonghen, suddenly the news broke of it being done and now the name will forever have a positive and happy association. Unless Vertonghen scores an own-goal against Arsenal, and they it will quickly become negative and he'll go from Vertonghen to Bastard.

Everyone assumes that Modric will leave? He's still got 4 years left on his contract. Levy holds all the cards and Luka leaves when Levy lets him.

I don't remember seeing a recent quote from him saying he wants to leave (yet).

Well he talked about considering his options after the European Championship.

Hopefully his options are:

Sign a new contract
or
Shut the fuck up and realise he's not in a position to force a move


Never going to happen though. He'll be off in my opinion.

Bringing home the bacon ie getting the man we're after. The scribes means the contracts getting ready for signing. That's my view of it.
