Summer transfer thread, AvB window wrap up pg 1527

[Enter the Pitbull]

This journalism lark is easy, isn't it?

All that from one little tweet.

Jeez, I'm in the wrong business. We should run a competition on here..........whoever picks up the most insignificant tweet from a player this summer, and turns it into the biggest (non)story going.

'If a deal can be done, then fine. I would love to play for Tottenham. If not, then trust me: I will keep Tottenham in my heart.'

Adebayor's move to White Hart Lane was greeted with caution by some Tottenham fans, given Adebayor's links to Arsenal,

But the striker has moved to laud the relationship he's struck up with the White Hart Lane faithful.

Specs appeal: Adebayor is enjoying his time back in London

'I am a former Arsenal player, too, but everyone knows how that ended. I know north London very well, my home is here and I have had a fantastic year.

'I am a huge fan of Tottenham now and I love the club. If I am not at the club in the future, I will be following their games and wishing them luck. I played at Arsenal for three years but today I keep Tottenham in my heart more than Arsenal, even though I haven't played here for as long.'

I feel unclean.

Keep thinking we should swap Modric for Courtois and Lukaku

with a ?ú10+/- million sweetener on top, I'd think about it. Set us back for a year or so but for the long term it would be a positive investment me thinks.

I'd look at that with some money going our way.

Lukaku could still come good and I've only ready good things about the keeper

 

[Rorschach]

If Modric leaves it cannot be to one of our rivals. That would be stupid beyond belief. We are not the feeder club we once were, and although we have been shafted by the football Gods again we are not going to bend over for Chelsea, Utd, City or any other PL team. If he wants to leave then he can go abroad for copius amounts of money or else sign the new deal and shut the fudge up.

Edit: And doubly so for Chelsea the cheating ****s.

Couldn't help but smile when I read what Adebayor said about us!

Absolutely, if we have to sell it should be overseas.

What can I say.. Dyslexia on my part, when I typed it I was sure it was an N

 

[indianspur]

i wonder when the Joe Cole to Spurs rumours will start

 

[billyiddo]

so, theoretically if we sold Modric and signed Adebayor/Remy and Vertoghen

_______Adebayor Remy
__Bale_______________Lennon
_________Sandro Huddelstone
Ekotto Vertonghen Kaboul Walker
____________Friedel

how would that team get on ??

we'd also have the option of :

__________Adebayor
_______Bale_VdV__Lennon
____Huddelstone Sandro
Ekotto Vertoghen Kaboul Walker
___________Friedel

think we'd be better off with out the little man possibly

50 pages and nothing. I need something to cheer me up, even if it means Rivaldo on a 5yr contract.

Very good young player, but I'm pretty sure he's a Sandro-type midfielder, so there's not much point in signing him.

Asamoah is a beast. But he's a midfield general much like Parker and Sandro, so I can't see us needing him and splashing 10-15m it would require.

Who is he? What role does he play etc?

 

[paxtonwolf]

We're messing around for 3m then we'll lose 40m at the end of the season because we dont get the CL..

I understand DL plays hardball to get the best deal, but I hope we dont let this one slip through our hands

 

[paxtonwolf]

Apparantly West Ham are interested in bringing him back to the camp site

 

[billyiddo]

i don't think he will let this one go the way of others - hopefully he knows the fans need something positive after Saturday, a quick double signing of Remy & Vertonghen shortly followed by the permanent signing of Adebayor will do just the trick

 

[THFCTB]

I think he's a ball-winner.
