Ramos to make a move for Italian International Midfielder

Milanese newspaper, Libertà, has today stated that Tottenham Hotspur manager, Juande Ramos, is strongly considering a move for A.C. Milan's holding midfielder, Gennaro Gattuso.

Spurs have had their scouts watch the midfielder on more than one occasion in the last 40 days according to the paper.

Ringhio, as he is called by his teammates, has stated that he wants to see out his career at the Milan club. However, after a lacklustre season, the Rossoneri are said to be looking at letting a few of their older players leave this summer, with Gattuso's name amongst the list of players that are set to depart.

Gattuso is contracted till the 2010/2011 season and it is believed that Milan will listen to offers in the region of €10 million (approximately £8 million).

This news has alerted Spurs, as well as Bayern Munich. Bayern are believed to have offered Gattuso a massive contract, although sources close to the player have stated that if he were to leave Serie A, he would prefer a move to the Premiership, and especially London.

Tottenham's capture of Luka Modric has proved to be quite significant on the continent. The move has shown that Spurs have the ambition and the funds needed to compete at the highest level.

Ramos is a fan of Gattuso and also understands the need for the club to buy a defensive midfielder. Spurs leaked too many goals for the Spaniards liking this season and may look to the Italian powerful ball-winning midfielder as a solution.

  1. I think he would be brilliant in the Premiership! He played in Scotland not so long ago and played really well.

    8 million is nothing for him.
  2. He's a class act, but I can't see him joining us. I heard about Bayern Munich offering him something like 120k per week. We can't compete with that.
  3. Great player, and I am confident he'll sign for us. After all, Modrich did, and a lot of bigger clubs wanted him.
  4. It's rubbish if you ask me
  5. Why would he want to sign for Spurs? You lot are the Newcastle of the South.

    Long live A Wenger!!!
  6. Ive heard that he will sign for us and that it has been Ramos that has done all the work. Comolli did nothing on the Modric deal, it was all Ramos. Why do we need that Arsenal loving twit?
  7. Waste of money. THe prem is a much faster league than the italian league and he'll tire out much quicker.

    Davids was ok for about 6 months, but after that he was nackered.

    If he cost 2 or 3 mil, then id say he was worth it, but not more than that.
  8. First Eto, now Gatuso.....when will you spuds realise that the newspapers probably make more money from selling in the close season than they do all the season because spuds fans are linked with ever player?

    Wake up!
  9. When will you wake up and realise now we have a manager that will be able to get a few of these big names and as we will spend our money we get linked ,you on the other hand do not because you won't buy anyone! now crawl back under your stone sewer rat
  10. I wish people would lay off Comolli. How do you know Ramos done all the work for Modric? it was reported that Comolli scouted and then started negotiations with Modric. Modric then spoke to Levy to tell him about the plans for a new ground and where the club were heading he also spoke to Ramos who told him what his aims were and that clinched the deal.

    do you really think Ramos has the time to be in charge of scouting all across the world for players while running the first team and all the training etc... no. comolli finds the players then offers them to Ramos who has the final say. The DOF is an important role and we'v improved the last 3 or 4 years since we've had one Arnesen and comolli.

    And I for one, think most of our reicent signings have been good -Woodgate (who like modric was offered more money elsewhere but was convinced to sign for spurs) for example, and if they haven't made the cut we haven't lost money on selling them on. in fact we've made profit.

    any…
  11. lol the scum will absolutely shit a brick if we get a couple of these players and under ramos its more possible than ever!check his cv trophys coming out of his ears,already got one in england and only been here 5mins!thats a pull to a player and he's thought of more in europe than here(for now) just look at modric i actually truly thought he'd end up at the goons,one of the hottest young talents in europe both footed a real wenger type player,but coz of ramos along he comes n we got our very own fibreglass sorry fabregas
  12. hey anon @ 2:28PM don't you think you should be checking out your own potential transfer news rather than hovering around where you don't belong.............bit like your manager.......ahem.
    Why shouldn't we compete for the best players, all the top teams have to start somewhere. Your insecurities scream out on here!
  13. It never ceases to amaze me how many people who obviously support other clubs log onto Spurs web/blogsites. Haven't they got their own? Are their lives so sad that they have to leave stupid comments on blogsites like this one? I guess care in the community isn't working.
  14. Sad arsenal fans - what no one walked out today, nothing to look at on the arseface.com webpage?

    Gattuso wuld be good but Poulsen would be even better, then Comolli should jump on a plane fly to italy and wrap up Seb Frey!!

    What are peoples thoughts on the Eto'o rumours? i could be a huge waste of money or a brilliant signing? will he be able to play with robbie, he plays like defoe should and robbie has had better partners upfront.
  15. He would be good for Spurs but only if we got him cheap. I see no reason why he would not come. He is no longer young. Spurs could do with him. Like Davids, he has a winning mentality and toughness that we have definitely lacked.
  16. Well said 2.47pm. I totally agree with your comment.

    Regards

  17. I think Zakora has been one of the most improved players since he came back from African Cup of Nations and think he'll continue to improve. Money could do better spent elsewhere, centre back, striker.

    As for Eto that aint going to happen either, too much in salary plus don't think eufa cup has quite the same draw!
  18. gatusso would be good and is possible imo his age isn't a prob either as he could just sit in front of the back 4 like a brick wall with modric pulling the strings in front of him
  19. David Villa doesn't want to join us :(

    Apparently we've matched the 21 million euro Valencia want for him, but he said that he wants to go to Chelsea.

    They'll probably get him also, now that its clear that Drogba is on his way out.
  20. athough villa is good woulda been to small to play with keane
  21. leave the Arsenal fans alone on here. Its been a year where they see players looking to leave, win nothing and no one looking to come in, although I have heard of an Afghan striker nickamed the Kabul Kangaroo so I am sure Wenger will put an offer in soon.

    There is real feeling at the Emirates that they are becoming the new Tottenham of North London. If only they could go the same way as Leeds.
  22. we r not the newcastle of the south because we have silverware!!

    Look arsenal fans you can look but you can't touch!! You may say its the mickey mouse cup but it is one more cup than you have had in the last few years, you lot are sh*te you thought you would win the league, DIDNT HAPPEN!!!

    You thoght you would win the champions league, FA cup and leaque cup, DIDNT HAPPEN!!

    You are not comparable because you are the only team this SEASON who DERBY have scored 2 against in 1 match!!

    Congrats!!

    BTW Gattuso would be a good signing!!
  23. I agree with Anonymous
  24. I'm an Arsenal fan, but more importantly, a fan of football. I live approximately 5 minutes from White Hart Lane and have a lot of mates that are Spurs fans.

    I take my hat off to Spurs. They are showing real ambition and I do think that you'll sign players like Gattuso.

    Modric is a brilliant player, although he will be wasted on the wings.

    I think that you lot will challenge the top 4 if you sign a few more quality players.

  25. Matt, London;
    Gattuso is a nastier, angrier Davids... and that's saying something! He'd be a perfect signing, and someone to keep Jenas or THudd on their toes...
    I don't concur with this 'players only want to join the Big 4' theory... if a player (let's say Luka Modric for example) gets a 'good feeling' for a club heading in the right direction (not to mention more guaranteed playing time...) then why wouldn't he sign? Spurs, lest we forget, are still a big fat famous club, in Europe (alright, not THE Europe that everyone seems to want) but in there none the less... I can see two or three more players of this ilk being lured to N17... and I hear Hleb is feeling dissalusioned down the road, now wouldn't THAT be a coup?
  26. Gattuso would be the first choice for a holding midfielder. IF he signs, then what a coup it would be.

    On a second note, i do not agree with people saying the top players want to play in the Champ League. They have been there, and won that, and they will be desperate to play in the EPL. Its much tougher than the CL.
  27. Gutuso is exactly what we need plus Diego Capel on the left, Sell Berbatov & get in Eto & perhaps Crouch to make up a Awesome Foursome to choose from upfront, Cuellar from Rangers plus Ben Haim from Chelski to sort the Defence out. Ferrero Roche & the Constant Gardner can do the off along with Y.P & The goalies. WE NEED 2 GOALKEEPERS!!
  28. You should change to one of them style blogs where you can post all on one page, wordpress is it?, you'd then have loads of people, like push and run does
  29. The mighty yids have made a brilliant start in the market by signing modric and ive read a few peoples comments and its true i think there will be a few more quality signings on their way to whl

    I have a mate who works at spurs so i know pretty much most things happening at the lane as he speaks to tommy huddlestone.

    so here we go:

    DAVID VILLA: looks set to sign for real madrid as valencia are in cash crisis and need to sell players to get their finances back on track.

    SAMUEL ETO'O: Damian Commoli flew over to spain on wednesday to tie up a deal for eto'o but barca want £30m so no offer was made but comolli, levy and ramos are going to sit down and discuss a price figure which will be around £26m and some other alternative players.

    DIEGO CAPEL: this looks to be a definate signing as he only has 2years left on his contract at sevilla and he is keen to link back up with ramos who helped him develop as a player. he has a £11.5m release clause in his contract but i think ramos will off…
  30. aparently that summers boy is actually gay but if hes good then i aint complaining. least he will keep jenarse on his toes haha
