Tottenham Transfer Tittle Tattle



The starlings are squabbling again, the sun is out, a fantastic fruit scone with strawberries, jam and cream yesterday, it was a meal in itself.

An abandoned house, a canal, the sea, crashing waves, seagulls hovering 6ft away from you in the wind as if they were posing for a photo shoot, it a lovely morning out in Dymchurch.

Off shopping in Hythe today so a wander down the high street to stop for some tea and cake again.

My grandson feeling better after a cold and teething issues.

I already have some christmas presents for him like a build and play sand pit that can be used with water too, all ready for next summer, a My First Christmas red towell, hat and bib plus a couple of other pieces.

Good day to all you fans who support Spurs, when others don't and in Tottenham Tittle Tattle today I guess we had better start with the Christmas present Daniel Levy is giving us, albeit a little early.

I'm delighted with the signings of Gareth Bale and Sergio Reguilón who caught Daniel Levy's private jet to London Friday and completed their moves by 2 pm.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Everton all wanted Reguilón who was voted the best left-back in LaLiga last season while on loan at Sevilla where he won the UEFA Europa League.

Gareth Bale, as you are now having confirmed by others, was adamant he wanted to return to Tottenham as soon as Daniel levy raised the matter and that was not during the recent Reguilón negotiations, it was way before that.

I'm afraid there is a lot of guesswork going on in the press and a lot of it is wrong.

New Premier League signings registered by 12pm GMT on Friday are eligible play at the weekend.

Gareth Bale, however, as you now know is injured and out for around 4 weeks

Real Madrid wanted Tottenham to pay £450,000-a-week of Gareth Bale's wages initially but Daniel levy negotiated them down to £220,000-a-week, the Spanish pay the rest.

"He [Bale] wants to show the world what a great player he is, he’s undoubtedly one of the best in the world. " 
"Daniel [Levy] has stuck his neck out. He's done bloody well. You've got to give him credit and admire his guts. He has put his money where his mouth is. 
"Bale has a hell of a love for Tottenham. When Tottenham came calling it was where he wanted to be. Hopefully he will get some happiness back in his life."

It also shows the children complaining about the ambition of our chairman haven't a clue about running a major business or a football club, no idea how to build towards success, it isn't done season-based, it is done long-term.


I'm assuming the Bale arrival video will be golf related given the ad with Bale on a golf course.

According to AS, Real Madrid President Florentino Perez is disappointed with the way Zinedine Zidane handed Gareth Bale which strongly suggests the Welshman has been mishandled.

He also disagrees with Zidane over new left-back Reguilón.

He wasn't in Zidane's plans, Perez felt he should be.

Other transfer news.

Danny Rose has two Italian clubs after him, Genoa and Cagliari.

PSG are also still interested in Rose as they are looking to replace the now long-term injured Juan Bernat.

They would suit his ego and where he sees himself.

Tottenham have been reported to have been interested in 31-year-old (32 next May) Dutch striker Bas Dost but according to German newspaper Bild, he wants to remain at Eintracht Frankfurt.

The latest name doing the rounds is Danny Ings, who as most seem to have forgotten, we enquired about back in May.

We were told he is not for sale and have now come back later in the window to try again with Southampton not in a good financial situation.

Jack Clarke is going out on loan to Birmingham City where José Mourinho's friend Aitor Karanka is the manager.

The loan window to English Football League clubs is open until 16th October with the transfer window open until 5th October.

Cameron Carter-Vickers is expected to go to Bournemouth, but naturally we are waiting during this busy period with complications in China over signing Kim Min-jae. 

Right, that's all for now, my bacon sandwich is calling.
