Transfers done?

So then, we've brought in Peter Crouch, Seb Bassong, Kyle Naughton & Kyle Walker for around £22 million.

Out the door have gone Darren "Ungrateful" Bent, Gilberto, Rocha and Didi Zokora for around £21.

The transfer window isn't closed yet, but I can't see us bringing in another player. Some supporters on various forums are sure that Harry will bring in a marquee signing such as Joe Cole or Ashley Young on the last day of the window. To be honest, I can't see either of these two coming in.

I think we've got a quality squad and management team to see us push for 5th or 6th. I do believe that we are better equipped than Everton & Villa.

If Hughes can work some magic up at Eastlands, City should be challenging for a top 5 position, although I don't think all those personalities will gel in time.

I can see the top four staying as it is unfortunately. If we finish in 6th and go on a F.A. Cup run, I'll be a happy lillywhite.

  1. I'm expecting a change in the midfield although have no idea whom or how.

    Harry has so far addressed every unbalanced area expect for midfield and there is plenty of time to go.

    From his own lips in an interview the other day he said he was looking for one more.
  2. Sad expectations but reality i guess!
  3. There could be some movement with Jenas as that story just doesn't go away.
  4. I would like to see us buy a box to box midfielder. Someone like Sissoko or Veloso would be perfect! Im happy with Modric on the left side for now, but I would love us to get Ashley Young! Surely we can fork out £25m?
  5. with dos santos back from loan, o'hara, huddlestone, lennon, modric, palacious, jenas, and still having bentley we could still afford to sell one of them and still be fine.
  6. Yep im expecting one more midfielder in. Possibly one or two more fringe players out. I agree that we're pretty well equipped to start the season. Bring em on COYS
  7. I believe we may still bring in an influential type CM to play alongside WP in the scrappy away games at places such as Stoke and Bolton, which on more than one occasion has caused us to fail in our ambitions.
    All in all thought, I believe 'Arry has strengthened well this year and with a half decetn start could see us push the top four, but ultimately fail to break it!!
    COYS!!!!
  8. I hate this term 'marquee signing' everyone uses now
  9. Still need maybe two defensive midfielders like Veloso and Biglia, who can both tackle and pass a ball. Also after all these years a real left winger would be nice.
  10. We also sold Chris Gunter for 2.5 million
  11. If we can ship out Jenas, signing Sissoko would be an exceptional bit of business. I watched him play last week and he bossed the midfield. He reminds me of a young Vieira. Toulouse want around £15 million though. Veloso is only decent in Football Manager. Have any of you ever seen him play? Why oh why do people mention him as being a star?

    I've seen him play against United and in his respected league. On all occasions, he failed to turn up.

    He's a name only. We're done with buying names at Spurs. Now we need players with talent.
  12. If Sissoko is what everyone is suggesting, I sincerely hope it doesn't turn out like the Young saga

    (aka: us not willing the stump up the cash at an early age / unproven in the prem).
  13. A deal is done for Scott Brown , he will join us after Celtic exit the CL.

    Expect Jenas to go to Villa
  14. Arry has just made his marquee signing according to millets, he has bought a tent.

    seriously i expect a central mid to come in 9 if available) and Bentley and/or JJ to go.It ont be young or Cole. It may be brown or Sissoko.

    I am also confused by RK still being captain. I hope two of JD, Pav, or Crouchy starts up front. I do have a sneaky feeling Keano will start either in CM or LM, hope not. Modders should be captain for now.
  15. ok...... in this (dont mention it)champions league attempt we need all guns firing including jenas who like bentley can frustrate but on the night do great play....so no sense in showing doors to those two....they know the set up at spurs and the squad needs great unity to overcome what will be a tough season......anyone coming in has to pick up the baton.....go for it..4th!
  16. No disrespect richie but a deal for Scott 'Brown bread' Brown was apparently done weeks and weeks ago but nothing has materialised.

    Moreover, what if Celtic beat Ar5ena1 and go on a bit of a CL run?

    Sceptical to be honest.
  17. I AM STILL CERTAIN BALE CAN DO A JOB ON THE LEFT WING , IF BALE AS HAS BEEN SUGGESTED IN MANY QUARTERS CAN`T DEFEND THEN SURLY HE CAN ATTACK WITH HIS NATURAL LEFT FOOT AND AN EYE FOR A SHOT FROM A FREE KICK POSITION HE HAS GOT TO BE THE ANSWER , SISSOKO WOULD BE MY FINAL PIECE IN THE JIGSAW WITH THE SQUAD THAT WE HAVE AND HOPEFULLY JENAS SOLD THERE IS NO REASON WHY WE CAN`T GET INTO THE TOP 6 . COYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  18. i think redknapp is gagging to bring modric inside along with palacios,especially after jenas`s attitude & poor displays last season,except against arsenal can`t remember him playing well,modric is wasted on the left,so expect a new left midfielder ,who? anyones guess,as this is spurs & do everything the hard way i can see abbandoning plans for a new left winger & buying another right back ha ha ,the 3 players i have gone right off now are KEANE , HUDDLESTONE & JENAS ,wasn`t pleased with the crouch signing but we should get behind him until his performances tell us otherwise,redpants talks about balance ,well balance is the desperate need for a left winger ,bassong good signing ,not aiming so high this year so predict at best 5th & worst 7th just stop losing silly bloody games spurs ,
  19. Celtic beat the Arse ! Can I have some of what you are on?
  20. It's called Rational (TM) - you can buy it in any pharmaceutical! ;)
  21. Why cant we push for 5th or even 4th?

    Hardly unrealistic. If the season started when Harry came in last year, we would of been pushing for fourth, and this year we have strengthened alot while others around us havn't so much.......
  22. Just heard beckham may be paraded in front of spurs fans on sunday and van der vaart in london tommorow to talk to spurs, go to sky sports, transfer clock watch and lock and rumours some interesting ones there
  23. There isn't a chance of us getting Young as he wants £100k a week! Veloso and Sissoko aren't even proven and may take a season to settle. I'd sooner keep Jenas to be honest, he's a great box to box player and is great in the big games. I feel we have a lovely blend of skill and pace in midfield now and that's why we are capable of beating teams like Chelsea as we can overrun their midfield.
  24. My prediction is that Harry pull off a nice little coup by signing someone from Real Madrid, we know that he is intrested in a couple of fringe player and Real need to sell. watch this space!!!!
  25. Sorry to say, but I think Peter Crouch was our marquee signing for this tranfer window.
  26. Veloso is no better than O'hara, its just his agents and media over in Portugal trying to hype him, he truely is shite, there is a decent player at Sporting called Mountihna I think, but Veloso isn't any good, Bostock is a better player, Sporting are basicly BANKCRUPT so need is fee to make interest payment to banks that now run that once great club.
  27. We have a good squad of players now. Let be realistic why would anyone wanna play for spurs this year? We are a tread water team, ie going no where.. There are 6-7 better teams than spurs and have been in all but 2 seasons since the PL begain.. I love spurs to death, but we've found our limit, 5th downward.. Let's just enjoy our little cup runs and enjoy it when we get the odd victory over a big side.. That way we can stop the years and years of over expectation we place on our selves and stop the continual heart ache..
  28. We need another midfield general to push other teams around and unsettle them...Jenas needs to be doing this and if he can't then sell him and get Sissoko.
  29. Get rid of Jenas a nice 9 - 10m fee there and get Sissoko or i agree that a Madrid fringe player might be a big Deadline day signing Van dar vaart wud be cheaper but wud luv to see sneijder come in and partner wilson in the middle that wud be class. Keep modric on the left giv him the free role and we destroy teams and run the game. I agree that Keane shdnt be captain now although he played well in the asia cup ( I no a shit cup ) but his touch look good for the first time since being bk. I think Harry nos hes the only 1 wiv a voice out there so im worried hes gunna try and squeeze keane defoe and crouch in the same team wiv modric aswell which wnt work well! Stop talking bout top fou it only set us up 4 a fall. Lets take it game by game nd see if we can do summin descent this season. Another trip to wembley wudnt go a miss either!!! COYS
  30. to the anonymous comment made at 12:17 we are building a team one that is capable of challenging it was only a couple of years ago we could have and should have finished 4th get behind your team if it is your team, the rollercoaster ride of emotions is all part of it otherwise we would all support the likes of Man Ure of Chelski good forbid
  31. Does Dos santos figure in harry's plans ???
  32. We are strong but we have NOT made up ground on the clubs above us and we still have the same weaknesses we had last year - not enough strength in depth in defense, no midfield general, no left winger, and no top-four striker. Oh yes - and the same mid-table manager. Other than that there's no doubt the top six are shaking in their boots. Dream on...
  33. I would give Villa Bentley + Jenas + 10M for Young. We have to get this guy! It's the final piece of the puzzle imo.
  34. Young wont leave Villa for us wake up people for gods sake, he didnt want to come here last time we made an offer either. Villa to Spurs isnt that like going from Burnley to Wolves whats the point.
    JJ needs to be replaced, if not right now in the next 12 months, alternatively bring in Modric and get in a decent LM who will join us.
  35. spurs made a huge fortune from sale of berbatov.... spurs should used that money to buy ashley young...he is worth buying..... i hope harry ll buy young.....

    all the best spurs
  36. Please please please please please please can we have a natural left sided quality midfielder. Still yet to replace Ginola! It's been a bloody big gaping hole since forever. It's driving me insaine. Nurse.......NURSE...
  37. We started last season wanting a left sided midfielder and that is still the case,I keep reading about Ashley Young but he is right footed !
    Also central defence still needs strengthening.

    Richard
  38. Lets look at evolution not revolution, which has been our problem. A complete overhaul of the squad each year gives no stability - hence poor starts.

    Leave Modric on the left and let him drift in and cause problems.
    Another defensive midfielder means a loss of creativity unless you get a Gerrard type player (and they're like rocking horse sh1t)

    Young and Cole wont be coming to the lane so lets forget that idea.

    We have options so lets use them before adding moe to the conundrum
  39. I think Youing is one of the most overrated players in prem. As over rated as Jenas in fact. Let Villa have them both if we can have Sissokoto give us a solid spine. Our big problem last year was capitulation in away games to side we should have beaten easily. We were simply buulied away from the points. Sissoko could be a superb buy. What about Petrov for the wide left position. Wouldnt cost much and wants away from ManCity. Petrov Palacios Modric Lennon at home and Modric Palacios Sisokko lennon away. Sorted
