New European scout appointed at Spurs plus Rodriguez not joining Man United
TRANSFER AND SCOUTING TALK
As expected, all the talk of James Rodriguez going to Manchester United is simply Real Madrid feeding stories to the press to try and generate interest in buying him. Real Madrid overpaid for him in the first place so selling him might be problematical.

#MUFC not after James Rodriguez, other forwards they're pursuing. Real trying to create a market for Rodriguez hence endless links
Hull City's European scout has now joined the Tottenham Hotspur scouting staff ans is now performing the same role in Europe for us. The overhaul of our scouting system continues.

White had to end his career early after an injury forced him to quit which saw him go into scouting and management. He had two spells at Sussex coastal side Hastings Town to cut his teeth as it were before moving further along the coast to Brighton and Hove Albion, now a Premier League side thanks to their promotion under former Spurs right-back Chris Houghton.
He was first team coach at Brighton, then reserve team manager then assistant first team manager and finally head of recruitment. He left Brighton in November 2009 and went on to work in recruitment for Sunderland, then \Hull City and now for us at Tottenham Hotspur.

There I was thinking this was THFC blog....
Where the f°°° do you get this s°°° from?
Please let us know, Clive how this revelation affects THFC?
These comments reflect a remarkable change of attitude. Can I assume you were upset by an earlier comment? Maybe one I caught earlier myself?
I would say that may have reflected a misunderstanding based on reading difficulties. I'd hate to see such a comment lead to further mistrust.
I think we're all in this together. With Clive's current condition I can only suggest we allow for some misunderstandings.
COYS!!
I do get frustrated at times when there is little discussion about our actual games.
COYS!!
