The Spurs Twitter Thread - 21st August 2012

Hmmm, so we appear to starting to shift some, swelling the coffers and freeing up more of the wage budget...looks like the Levy train may be steaming into town with a cargo of meltdown!

Damn it I thought JJ had written all of that!

Sorry mate, shouldn't ever refer to Jenas as JJ on this site. Caught this summer cold thats going around so up early trawling twitter hoping for something a little more juicy.

If we lose both Dawson and Bassong, we'll be left with 4 centre halves: Kaboul, Vertonghen, Caulker and Gallas. If that happens, I will seriously worry because our record with injuries there is pretty appalling. I hope that with Bassong out, we will keep Dawson.

Dawson AND Bassong to QPR? They're going down then...

This kind of nonsense is annoying, both these players (especially Dawson) have played well for us. Dawson has had several very good seasons and Bassong has done a job when called on.
As soon as our players are out of favour, people like you turn on them! This is akin to what gooners do and have now done to rvp - it's shameful and Spurs fans should know better.

Livermore the emergency centerback? Wouldn't surprise me to see him get games there in the Cups.

it would be a bloody crime to have a maestro like Tom play for bloody Stoke - how does that signing make sense to any of them?

Yeah, if hudd is to go on loan it would be best that he be playing football

 

[AX-Spur]

I think we have enough to be okay this window: Bale, Parker, Walker, Naughton, Lennon, Livermore, Kane, Townsend, Freyers, Caulker, Button etc...


LMAO - http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/spurs/Team/first-team-profiles.page - Defoe looks massive in that picture! How close was he to the camera?

Isn´t Sigurdsson also considered home grown (youth career with Reading)?

Ironically now is the time you want to sign someone like Nelsen, a good pro who you can turn to if shit hits the fan but wont stunt the progress of Caulker or the integration of Verts.

Sky Sources: Sebastien Bassong agrees to sign for Norwich. More on#SSN

The Norwich reporter on twitter called this at about 7am today kudos. Twitter was much easier to search at 7, the last 10 minutes alone have seen thousands of Spurs related tweets because of the Bassong news. Good luck to the lad if it goes through, just didn't work out with us.

I like how you missed Defoe off the home grown list then mentioned him in the line below. The sad thing about those player profiles is that strikers page!

8m would be cheap for Dawson and it would be a bloody crime to have a maestro like Tom play for bloody Stoke - how does that signing make sense to any of them? Would be happy to see the backs of Jenas and Bassong, but the former has been involved quite a bit lately. I don't rate Rose but we don't have much left-sided cover now..

I have Stoke City fans in my family and they will tell you Hudd is exactly what they need, perfect fit. They'll be strong this season especially with Tom in the middle

If you'd read further down the page you muppet you'd've seen that you've misunderstood what I've written.

I meant Dawson and Bassong are going down. But the quick to dumb and hard of reading brigade are out again

And Hudd looks tiny, bless him

[Archibald&Crooks]

time to really clear the deadwood once and for all..we might suffer quite a bit till jan or maybe till next season. but look on the bright side? we should back AVB if we believe his potential and let him do what he thinks hes right. if he can build a dynasty in a next few following season, i wouldnt mind using this using just to clear the deadwood and get a few decent purchase in. sometimes we set ourselves unrealistic targets. in our mind as spurs fans, we MUST challenge for top 4 this season, if not its end of the world. truth is even if we get top 6 this season, but benefits us in the long run, thats way better for us and the club. 4 centre back is fine, if we can use the cash from bassong and dawson and strengthen weaker places such as cm,st or gk

Fuck me, not two posts below mine. WINNER!

Who's next?

Or we'll do what we did in January again and clear the decks before making a couple of underwhelming loan signings and leaving our squad woefully imbalanced for the rest of the season, then blame the manager...
