Another Ajax player... One of my sources who is Danish said this lad is highly rated in both Netherlands and Denmark, We look to be interested in him. When we went to look at Vertonghen for Ajax we also looked at him.. but if anything happens it will be after the Euro's as he want's to concentrate on that. Other top flight clubs are interested, but who know's only time will tell.

Nicolai Boilesen would be a good upgrade on Rose.
 
Ooops, didn't realise. It's Christian Eriksen

Doesn't really make sense. Paying huge amounts of money for someone in a position where we are probably strongest in (i.e. because we already have vdV). Unless our funds are unlimited, there's about 10 signings we need to make before we look at another first choice #10/in the hole player.

If we have any sort of transfer strategy, Boilesen would be the target.

Sounds like his source is just some agent anyway and not with any of the clubs.

Levy and HR meeting is tomorrow. #THFC #Spurs #Football
Hearing that if the meeting between HR and Levy goes the way Levy wants his preference for next manager is Martinez
 
If we sign Demba Ba that would be possibly the least creative signing in the history of transfers.

Have we really not been able to draw up a decent short list since the days of Berbatov. Ba didn't even score in the second half of the season.

If we are interested shouldn't have taken a punt when he went on a free to West Ham, or didn't know who he was then?

Uninspiring, unimiginative, hopefully untrue.

This appears to imply that Harry has a choice in the matter, when frankly if Levy wants him gone, his ass is grass, big compensation or not.
