We May Sign Another Player

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.
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.

Only John the Baptista, right?
Why is he bad?
He dosnt score alot maybe?? Neither does Kanoute!!!
Put ive seen him assist many times!
None of us here would mind if he signed. ManicSpur doesn't like him that much, but we are sure he would fit in well.
We would have to sell at least Davis & Brown if he were to join.
But we don't think it's him either as Mourinho loves the little guy.
If Heskey is s**t, so is kanoute! because you tell me what Kanoute has that Heskey dosnt??
it would be gr8 news if we signed another top-class player. can u try and get something from your sources on who it could be.
i am very excited hope it is true!
who do you think it might be and what position?
thank you again
COYS
any truth in the Owen idea???
All im saying is a reason why Heskey is crap?
Not calling you a wanka, so why dont you grow up?
thats to much to spend on a defender
he recently said he is priceless for spurs
Boa Morte Carrick Davids Becks
would be awsome!
routledge carrick davids becks
routledge will be a spurs legend and could do well cutting inside on the left
is the owen story true or becks??
i am willing to trust you but you said davids on loan!!!
imagine this...
Robbo
Stalteri King Dawson Edman
Routledge Carrick Davids Reid
Owen Defoe
Mido to come on when we are in trouble!!!
how much would we be paying for him???
We hope it is not AJ as we have been told that Jol doesn't value him at more than £7million.
We haven't heard anything about Owen unfortunately either.
It can't be Beckham as we cannot afford his wages.
We explained in the article that Davids has signed.
His lawyer is talking rubbish (don't all lawyers)?
How small is that attacking line? isnt that the reason Keane and Defoe dont play 2gether??
And what about Kelly at right back hes quality, Stalteri in for Edman on left back!
it is very exciting and i woul;d love to see another class player at the lane.
wow CL here we come....
are they coming from abroad or from the EPL???
hopefully its a big YOUNG name
him and defoe are wicked together
Becks wages are too big.
baptista is going to Real.
So that leaves Owen unless there is someone we havent thought of
and central midfield is getting too crowded anyway. we couldnt guarantee him a game.
i think it will be left wing or forward
Anyway I agree, although I wouldnt like to see Hargreaves, hes over-rated and if we sign davids would be totally pointless,
I wouldnt be convinced by Owen and Defoe, what about all those crosses Routledge and Reid will be getting into the box???
Surely Mido would be better suited to nod them in?
so, as far as the new signing goes, for over 11mil its really gotta be a striker and id be thinking its someone to replace kanoute, as he doesnt seem to have the fire in his belly that he did 3-4 years back, remember when he beat players....
and if its not baptista...u'd think it would be a big man...or maybe andy johnson....transfer speculation has quietend down a bit around him, but hes still keen to move back to the pre…
We post what our sources tell us. Most of the time it turns out to be correct, like the Davids, Arnesen & Routledge cases.
But sometimes we are miss informed.
We doubt it will be Owen as he earns in the region of £75,000 per week. We doubt he would take a massive pay cut in order to play for a side that wasn't in the Champions League.
We have asked repeatedly who the player is, but we are not getting any response.
As soon as we know something, we will post it.
Stam is available but not at more than £6 million
wish it was Baptista but i doubt it.
Ronaldo??
phil neville....
someone shoot me please!
Spurs board are not tight really are they???
Look at all they've spent, think lucky we dont have West Spams board, now thats what you call tight!!!
and souness is a TWAT
just take a guess like we are doing.
we all have our optimistic opinions so lets hear yours whether the sources have told you or not!!!
P.S. thanks for the great info
ive just had another thought, and its worse than the phil neville one....
Nicolas anelka!
shoot me, now!
We hope it's a centre half that can guide the team from the back.
Our next best bet is a striker. If Kanoute is to leave, then another striker will be purchased.
We do know that Spurs are not willing to pay players the type of money the superstars are on, i.e. £75,000 per week.
He's good, but wouldnt like to se hi, as the squad seem happy, and he'd soon change that!
and this time, dont shoot me...its....
GUTI!
gotta be
He not worth 11 million!
And shares is prob cos of Davids??
11 Million??
Waste of time, as we have 4 strikers??
we've been loving your comments recently
have your sources told you anything else yet???
He a twat, old and, what???? 11 mill??
Get out!
Good reporting too lads! Credit where it's due
Baptista, samuel or owen,
No-body is stupid enough to pay that for Johnson or Anelka surey!
so, JOHNSON, or OWEN
or perhaps GUTI...
gotta be..
what about d'allesandro?
Andy johnson
John the Baptista
Totti
Keane has not signed a new contract but has only 1 year left on his contract
Its quite clear that if we do make a big signing its going to be a striker, we have the money and the will. Not sure why you guys keep talking about CB, with Gardner, dawson, Huddlestone and Davernport we have all the best up n comming english talent to partner king, not to mention Naybet
gudjohnson
johnson
d'alessandro
tevez
totti
owen
rosiskcy
heskey?
neville (p)
guti
baptista
judas

For a player who has spent his years playing in south America?

Edgar Davids' agent Dutch international lawyer, Rob Geerlings, confirmed today: "Edgar will be in London tomorrow for a medical with Tottenham Hotspur and to agree personal terms."
just on www.spurs.co.uk
you were almost right THBN
OWEN, JOHNSON or DIEGO
any would be cool

Spurs.co.uk writes that he'll be in London tomorrow for a medical.

pumping down the right wing.
we could do with a set piece taker
we are all listening patiently
GIVE US UR VIEWS
probably johnson, hes desperate to play in premiership, with the world cup next year he needs another solid 20 goals to figure
PLEASE GIVE US YOUR VIEWS ..................................................................................................
Lampard to Madrid? more hilarity.
"THBN please give us you views"
You think thats gonna help? begging?
Phill Neville
Baptista

Johnson
Gudjonson
badjohnson
uglyjonson
figo
totti
diego (hope so)
or...
HESKEY
beg ...beg...beg
you know its johnson, ud rather it was someone else, but its andy johnson
holy shit, those step overs...
but we'd all prefer to see diego, he is a good rounded midfielder, who can also play on the left.
I hope its him, hes class.
although im sure sky sports will get an interview with hoddle going on about how he spotted him when he was at spurs, etc...
Kelly King Dawson Stalteri
Routledge Carrick Davids
Mido
Owen Defoe
What do you think?
11 mil...
gasgoigne?
COYS
he likes the big man upfront...like.....chris sutton!
Watch out!
i dont even think hes that BIG of a player, spurs are a big club, and i think he'd be well suited, he would fit into our wage structure, around 40k pw and replace keane....whats so shocking about owen signing?????????
Did I miss something?
