Njié, Berahino, Twitter


Clinton Njié had his medical yesterday and there are reports that Saido Berahino has already taken part of his medical (these would have been the basic checks) should a deal eventually be finalised. He is the next one in the pipeline being dealt with.

Discussions have already taken place with his representatives and terms in principle agreed. We have to agree a fee with WBA and then the remaining part of his medical and nail down the details of a contract. Berahino decided a while ago he would be happy to come to Spurs but has waited around to see if Manchester City or Manchester United formed up any interest, that hasn't happened and the deal with us is progressing.

Over in France the PR machine has got to work claiming the offer from Spurs was just too good to turn down. It's the usual rubbish to suggest to fans the club have got a great deal and didn't have any choice etc etc etc. Nothing announced but Njié posted on Instagram, as I'm sure you all know, that he has signed for Spurs.

Jimmy Bullard writes that Javier Hernandez would be an ideal strike partner for Harry Kane, which seems strange as we only play one striker. We have Clinton Njié as a backup striker and are stuck with Adebayor at the moment as he is refusing to leave his London home to play football in the Midlands, just goes to show he has no real interest in playing football just collecting a wage packet for doing as little as possible.

Why would Pochettino want a poisonous character like that around a youthful squad, no wonder he is being kept away from the senior team to do his basic fitness work.

This afternoon on the Twittersphere

Good luck to the lads tomorrow Big energy needed COYS

On another note disappointed Ade is just sitting his contract outI don't feel it is right whenspent so much time not playing last few years

have loaned young defender Connor Ogilvie to Teddy Sheringham's Stevenage for one month.

Now just waiting for Erik Lamela to announce the sale of Emmanuel Adebayor to Aston Villa too.

Tottenham had until 12:00pm today to register Clinton N'Jie in time to play versus Stoke on Saturday.

Well done to U15s, who beat Singapore U15s in the first game of the Lion City Cup.

Interesting Tweet from Tottenham ambassador Graham Roberts about Emmanuel Adebayor just sitting collecting his money in the same way Heurelho Gomes did and Benoit Assou-Ekotto, rather shows where their values lie and why I bang on about mentally assessing players before we buy them, it isn't rocket science.
