We May Sign Another Player

For THBN

We were informed late last night that Daniel Levy is in negotiations to sign another top-class player.

We have no details apart from that the player in question will break the clubs previous transfer record of the £11 million we paid Dynamo Kiev for Rebrov.

After the great signing of Dutch superstar Edgar Davids yesterday, we were informed by our source (the same one that told us about Davids joining) that another player is currently in talks with Daniel Levy.

We asked for a name or at least a clue to this mystery player, but were told that no information could be given at this point.

As is the case with many rumours that come our way, we post them in our articles, but always take a large pinch of salt along with them. We made the same mistake with Davids. Some of the THBN team, myself included, didn't believe that he would sign, but he has.

Many of you are unsure if Davids has actually signed as it has been mentioned that he has yet to pass a medical or agree terms.

The above statement is partly correct. Like all professional players joining a club, they are required to sign a pre-contract that can last from one till one-hundred and eighty days. The pre-contract is the exact same replica of the contract the player will sign, with the difference that the club has the right to terminate the pre-contract if the player fails a medical.

Edgar Davids has signed a pre-contract and will undertake his medical at Spurs Lodge today at 10.00am London time. He has never had any trouble with serious injuries in the past and was deemed to be the fittest player Barcelona had ever carried out a medical on. So fingers crossed, everything will go smoothly.

We do not have any details on his contract as yet. Some media sources like the Sun have stated that he will be paid £60,000 per week. We find that statement to be false as the Tottenham board will not allow the current wage structure to be broken until the club are in the UEFA Cup. Of course the club could make an exception for a world-class player, but we are fairly sure that he will be earning around the £48,000 per week mark. Davids has signed a pre-contract for twelve months with an option of a further twelve months.

We have recieved other feeds regarding Michael Brown's iminent departure to Wigan. Reports suggest that he is either in talks with them or that talks with the newly promoted club will take place this week.

We can also expect Sean Davis to make way also. Everton were also scheduled to hold talks with Edgar Davids, but after his length chat with Martin Jol, he decided there and then to sign for us. The Toffee's are now thought to be after Sean Davis so as to fill the void left by Gravesen.

The THBN Team would also like to say a massive hello to one of Spurs longest serving supporters, Manolis, who is currently in Bahrain.
