he couldnt even get on the pitch today when Spain needed a goal.

Obviously went on a bender with Balders the night before to celebrate signing for the greatest fudging football team the world has ever seen, and its TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR! TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC!

\o/
 
Why would they get away with it under FFP and we wouldn't? Are their entirely dodgy sponsorship arrangements going to fly?

Especially as David Gill is part of the panel that will set the punishment. :lol:

Wish he was on the panel that investigated the books though

Spurs are closing in on the Barcelona striker after he reached a broad agreement on personal terms, with both clubs now negotiating a transfer fee to secure the deal

EXCLUSIVE
By Greg Stobart in Rio de Janeiro

Tottenham are closing in on a deal to sign David Villa after the Barcelona star confirmed he would like to move to White Hart Lane during talks with the player and his representatives, Goal has learned.

The Spain striker has reached a broad agreement on personal terms to move to Spurs this summer and is eager to play in the Premier League.

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has spoken informally to Villa on the phone while the club's new technical director, Franco Baldini, has held productive discussions with the 31-year-old's agent.

Spurs officials are understood to have been in Brazil last week, where they held talks over a deal for Villa - who is in the country for the Confederations Cup - while also reaching an agreement on a £17 million deal to sign Paulinho from Corinthians.

The Londoners believe that they are in a strong position to land Villa despite reported interest from Fiorentina but they hope to convince Barca to lower their £12m asking price.

Tottenham are ready to pay around £8m for Spain's all-time leading scorer, who has just one year left on his contract at Camp Nou and, due to his age, has little sell-on value.

Villa himself has said that he will decide on his future after the Confederations Cup, where Spain have booked a place in Sunday's final against hosts Brazil at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro.

Spurs are willing to pay the attacker more than £100,000-a-week but the former Valencia man is understood to have accepted that he must take a reduction on his £140,000 weekly salary at Barcelona.

Villa-Boas has made Villa his top final-third target for the summer transfer window as he looks to boost the club's forward line and improve Spurs' chances of a top-four finish next season.

Spurs tried to rival Arsenal for the Spaniard's signature in the January transfer window but Barcelona refused to sell the forward midway through the season.

The Gunners have dropped their interest in Villa while Barcelona are now prepared to sell the striker, who would find his opportunities further limited next season following the arrival of Neymar at the Liga giants.

Tottenham are looking to conduct their major transfer business early this year and have agreed a deal of £15m plus £2m in add-ons to sign Paulinho.

The 24-year-old is expected to sign an initial four-year contract and undergo a medical after the Confederations Cup final on Sunday, having scored the late winner in Brazil's semi-final win over Uruguay on Wednesday.
 
This excites me.

I love Villa and wish we got him when he was at Valencia - he was just awesome.

Out of interest though - do you think he will be the only arrival of a striker? Or do you think we will bring someone in?
 
No quotes from Villa saying he would like to come, no quotes from player on anything and nothing from his representatives. Strange you wouldnt have at least 1.

id like one more, a young'un, maybe Vydra......Villa, Ade, Defoe and Vydra would be pretty strong.

If either Ade or Defoe, maybe even both leave, then of course we are in the market for another. Benteke , Damaio ad Negredo I guess would be high on any list

I was thinking one of Ade or Defoe will leave (Preferebly Ade although I think we would get more cash for Defoe actually)... I havent thought about the transfers but as 1st July nearly kicking in ill take more notice.

If one of them leave im presuming we will be in for one more striker.
 
not sure about this one. just hope we do a proper medical and put him a on a special fitness regiment and get friedel's yoga instructor to visit him to ensure that we get the most out of his remaining useful life as a top striker
 
I could imagine us (hopefully) signing Villa, selling and Ade and Defoe, bringing in another who will challenge and ultimately replace Villa and us then having a kid as third choice: maybe really someone like Coulthirst.

I really hope and expect us to start giving first team squad places to some of the kids coming through.

If he were to sign i see us keeping Adebayor. If we find a buyer for Defoe we will replace him, if not we'll keep it as the 3.

Either way would suit me just fine and i imagine we'd use the season ahead as time for Baldini to find us a proper player with potential to be a big hit.

It's written by one of the journalists that seems to have some genuine connections though. If he does and if he's based this story on information from a connection somewhere it's not likely that there would be quotes.

Stobart doesn't seem to be a WUM so let's see how this one pans out.

yeah the fact he is 31, has had a serious injury recently and has taken a while to get back, also concerns me. I like the idea of Brad showing Villa the delights of yoga though
