Summer 2013 Transfer Thread

[El Dangerous]

Moses being linked with Southampton (on loan).

 

 

Crikey, Moses!

[Dave D]

am I right in thinking Alderweireld can play defensive midfield as well as centre back and full back? If so I think there would be fair merit in making him our top defensive target

 

Its a bit late in the day to be making "targets"

 

We should be be talking medicals and press conferences by now.

 

Spurs are going to be making life hard for Chelsea, United and City let alone us and Arsenal.

 

We cant grumble, its not like we didnt have our chance- the Hicks and Gillet reign did hamper things, but its the money we spent from the point of Torres sale to now- one or two gems but a collasal amount of very very expensive mid table players.

[Red Dawn]

Yarmelenko or Moses and Sakho. Thats my guess. I wouldnt be a bit shocked if we ended up signing nobody.

[J-V]

Eto'o has officially signed for Chelsea.

[fowler9]

Eto'o has officially signed for Chelsea.

 

thought he was piss poor against us last season but they played him as a playmaker which isn't his game at all

 

got to be the end for Torres you would think

[Spy Bee]

Ilori, Sakho, Yarmolenko and Messi! You heard it hear first!

[dennis tooth]

Oscar Cardoza available?

Why not? He is ten times the player the whole Ukrainian squad is.

 

Meanwhile........BBC Sport - Vlad Chiriches: Tottenham to sign Steaua Bucharest defender

 

Just keep repeating to yourselves 'They're only spending the Bale money, they're only spending the bale money, bale won many matches on his own last season, bale won many matches on his own last season'....etc

[Cardie]

Someone is bullshitting because we're not buying 2 centre backs.

 

We were looking to sign llori and papadopolous early in the summer ontop of the toure deal.

The same spurs who have also recently been "making targets".

I thought accepted law on here was it's not who you sign but what the net spend is.

[therevivalist]

This is great. We look odds on to sign both Ilori and Sakho. I'm glad some journalists and blokes on twitter have linked us, thems the boys to trust.

 

Thanks to twitter, I'm feeling better already.

[Dave D]

I would consider the point at which you "target" a player as the very beggining, a suggestion, an idea, a possiblilty to discuss around the board table.

 

Spurs arent making "targets" The are "signing" players

[Gym Beglin]

Chelsea signing Etoo is a massive signing. That's their Van Persie sorted, he's still a machine and will rattle them in for fun.

 

But who else could have signed him? He's on about a quarter of a million per week I bet.

 

I dont think it;s even realistic to try to compete with Chelsea anymore, or City. It's just like watching your fellow competitor take steroids and nobody cares theyre doing it. You either join them or you get comfortable with the fact that they're on another planet and are allowed to do so.

 

I wish the fabled European League would happen so that we can get shot of City and Chelsea, and Spain can get shot of Barca and Real, let them play football on space stations or beneath the ocean, whatever it is they plan to do with the incredible wealth they have access to.

[Ne Moe Imya]

Di Marzio is very reliable. Sakho it is then. Im very happy with that.

Now get someone for left wing and its been OK

 

Actually, it could turn out to be a pretty good summer overall if that happened.

 

Depending on the attacking signing, of course, but even if it's someone who isn't a world-beater (Yarmolenko, say) hanging onto Suarez was the big coup. Combine that with Toure, Mignolet, and the Spaniards up front for depth and if you add another good CB I would put it down as a decent transfer window.

How long have they been 'signing' erikkson or Lamela?

[Red Phoenix]

Can't believe that Marca went with the Torres/Suarez story, but also revealed where they'd found the info at the start of their article : the transfer rumours section of the Sports Direct site! Madness. Mike Ashley will probably have a laugh to himself if he finds that out.

[Dave D]

How long have they been 'signing' erikkson or Lamela?

 

Would you merely class the two of them "targets" for Spurs. I believe Roma have announced the Lamela deal on their website and De'boer has been briefing the media at his dissapointment in losing Erikkson today. Based on the that I wouldnt refer to them as players that Spurs are "targeting". They are way beyond that stage.

 

In the same way we "targeted" Costa

[Nightcat]

Chelsea signing Etoo is a massive signing.

 

Indeed

 

That's their Van Persie sorted,.

Eto'o is better than Van Persie.

 

I thought accepted law on here was it's not who you sign but what the net spend is.

Yes and so far we are making a profit of £5m from transfers.

 

Suprs have spent £69m so far this season, without considering Lamela or Eriksen.

As for Bale, the money they will get is 86m euros not pounds.

[Spy Bee]

Here's a bold statement; I think Eto'o will be a failure.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Here's a bold statement; I think Eto'o will be a failure.

 

That's a bold statement.. And on that note I leave.

[Spy Bee]

Tottenham's spend is not that huge really, but they're weekly outgoings on wages is going to be A LOT higher. Replacing one salary with about 7.

[moof]

Eto'o will flop, defo.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I think Eto'o will be a reasonable signing, certainly nowhere near being their Van Persie though.

[amli]

Eto'o will win the golden boot by a mile.

I would class them as targets as little as last week, arguably early this. Of course if you wanted to be really picky until they've actually signed it would be unwise to consider them signings full stop, as Spurs know only too well.
