January Transfer Window

Saw a graph with spending we spent the least of every premier league club this year. And we brought in the second most after Arsenal.

I think it's just as likely Daniel and harry wanted remy and and were happy to wait until summer to get him.

Agreed, and/or Damiao?

I think Levy is just too shrewd to get carried away in a January window (even with the title contenders hype). Also, why let HR spend €20m in January and then skip of the manage England in the summer?

Levy has a long term plan , long term in so far as developing the Spurs brand to the point where we are in the top tier for a sustained period and Joe Lewis can cash in.

He's probably said to HR, "stay next season and you can have €30m to mount a title bid". I love what HR has done for us, but I think Levy deserves more of the credit.

Just sayin';)

heres an interesting graph,probably the only time i'll be happy to see tottenham at the bottom of the table.
going by transfer revenue,t.v and champions league cash theres got to be a huge amount of money for whoevers going to be in charge next season.or maybe the money could be used to increase the wage bill to keep,modric,bale etc.
either way i think the club is being run very well by levy.

That's the one I was talking about

have to say though with the £40m profit made on transfers this season plus the money saved on wages by cutting out so much dead wood we should hopefully have a nice amount of cash for summer to strengthen our position.

Anyone think if we finish third that we should have a go to get Torres? If he finishes the season without scoring more then 5 goals in the PL then surely he wouldn't be worth more then £15m(ish).

Watching him today you can see he is still that player but he has just zero confidence infront of goal.

I was thinking just this what he needs is a harry manager to get his confidence up so i guess it depends who we have next year.

bradolf pittler · 05-02-2012 11:01pm

he's damaged goods,will probably never be as good as 3/4 seasons ago,would command a huge wage and apart from all that chelsea would never sell to us.would have sturridge before torres all day long if i had a choice.

Leinstersqspur · 12-02-2012 4:04pm

Bassong having an absolute mare at Molineux today, good riddance!

Nelson was composed last night when he came on, although he looks very short for a centre half...?

ziedth · 12-02-2012 4:08pm

^ Wiki says he's six foot but I don't think so TBH.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero · 12-02-2012 4:27pm

6 foot isn't very big for a defender these days though..

Never ever liked him or rated him as a player.. Always thought he was happy to sit there and pick up his wages. Surprised it took Harry so long to clear him out
Any time I've seen Nepali interviewed he always came across as a good bloke honest pro
Although it's strange Blackburn say they couldn't get him fit and then he goes straight into our squad ready for action
Falling out with Jean maybe??

Leinstersqspur · 13-02-2012 9:38pm

The internet is awash with rumours that we have agreed terms with Eden Hazard subject to both clubs agreeing the fee.:eek:

Following an interview with a reputable French football magazine reporter. http://www.francefootball.fr/#!/news/2012/02/13/192150_hazard-a-choisi-tottenham.html

Is this why Harry was in France in January? I think I'm about to wet myself:o
http://www.cartilagefreecaptain.com/2012/2/13/2795613/eden-hazard-tottenham-hotspur-transfer-rumours?

Hazard quoted on Belgian TV (RTBF) moments ago: 'Maybe I'll go to Tottenham. It's a great English club. I said I would go to England'

chiefwiggum · 13-02-2012 10:03pm

Fast, two-footed, bags of skill, 21yrs old, he and Bale could be devastating!

Hope not, rather Lennon.....

Reports he has a buy out clause of €40m but only one year left on his contract could be €25-30m. This rumor is really gathering pace (we signed Modric in April)

I can't speak french but apparently the video translates as "It's a big English club. I said I will go to England. The English league is where I can learn best. All weekend, there are big games with big atmospheres. Spain? this may not be my style. But to win titles, you have to play for Real or Barca. and at my age, it is still complicated. At Tottenham, there are some very good players and a great coach. I am interested in Tottenham. I hope it will be done soon even if there is nothing official today, "replied Eden Hazard

Seems to be gathering pace. Reports now on sky sports

pleasant Co. · 14-02-2012 11:39am

I'd buy that jersey :P

SuprSi · 14-02-2012 1:49pm

Well the main thing that this signing would do is show that Spurs mean business in the future, and that we could attract the best players because this guy is very highly sought after.

Him and Bale would be awesome! Still, let's make sure we make the CL first before we go worrying about whether he's going to join or not.

oppiuy · 14-02-2012 1:49pm

I dont know much about the guy but a friend of mine follows the european league for betting purposes and reckons this fella is the mustard. He reckons he's a cross between lennon and Nasri. Now that cant be bad as long as its lennons devestating pass and Nasris ability on the ball and not the other way round

2nd Row Donkey · 14-02-2012 2:30pm

This guy would walk into the starting XI of almost any top team from what I have read up on him. which can only mean 1 thing - he's a replacement for Bale, modric or VDV (or maybe lennon).

Well, if one of the above goes, you couldnt really ask for a better replacement could you.

The only bit i find hard to believe is that a player of this quality (who could pretty much pick and choose any team that can afford him) is going to sign for a club soon to be without the manager who has convienced him to join.

edit - obviously its Levy and co that do the transfer deal, but would you sign for club known the cuurrent manager wont be there when you get there!

You have a point, but the fact that Levy would be the face of the club and the one convincing him to sign, would let him see that there is more to the club than 'Arry.

Also, while he has obviously heard of 'Arry and is aware of how well he has done, he wouldn't be as big a name to him as if he had played in the premiership for the last few years.

It would be nice if Levy could tell Hazard that he has Hiddink or Mourinho lined up though.

Looks like we have signed Bruno Uvini from Sao Paolo hes coming over for training now but won't be registered until the summer window. Brazilian defender with an Italian passport.

Keep an eye on the official page for "SpursXI v X clubXI". He'll play with the youngsters still at the club in the Spurs lodge matches.

Would be a steal of a signing for 3.1m pound if we buy him.

As for Hazard, even if we dont sign him its great to see so many Arsenal and Chelsea fans sickened that he expressed an interest in us over them. The Skysports article has mostly Arsenal and Chelsea fans stating how terrible Spurs are and how we wouldnt be able to afford him. Bitter much?!

The bitterness is extraordinary! I’ve an Arsenal mate who’s terrified at the thoughts of us finishing ahead of them.

A gooner mate of mine reckons the whole Hazard thing has been lost in translation and that he said jokingly he wanted to go to Spurs as the Arsenal thing is a done deal and they are his first choice bar none.

IE -Hazard was being sarcastic about Tottenham as he's an Arsenal man through and through.

He also said that Hazard and Vermalen are cousins and there's no doubt he's coming to the Emeroids.

To be honest I don't really care at this point. There's still a chance we may not make the CL, which would mean he definitely wouldn't come. There's also an even bigger chance Arsenal may not make it, and the same thing would apply there. Let's worry about who's going to sign in the summer in the summer, once this season is over and we've hopefully secured at least 3rd spot.
