January Transfer Gossip

White Heart Loon

I'd love to give them Holtby or Lamela on loan

SuprSi

Both would be brilliant - EPL experience near the bottom of the table, it'd really be sink or swim for the two of them, especially Lamela.

Yeah it would be a great loan for Holtby considering he's down the pecking order at the minute. In saying all that, we'll need plenty of options if we want to get to the latter stages of the EL.

Berbatov rumour - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/tottenham-hotspur/10584102/Tottenham-Hotspur-weigh-up-cut-price-1.5m-deal-for-Fulham-striker-Dimitar-Berbatov.html

This for me would be the perfect signing, like him or not he's a class act. He can hold the ball and his link up play is exquisite. Would give the club a huge lift, I don't see any disadvantages in signing him. Plus I've a few Berbatov jersey's that need wearing.

After his £13 m move to Santos, I wonder if Leandro Damiao is happy to be staying in America (well ok, South America).

Id be disapointed if we were not linked to him again at this stage.;)

While I would agree we could do with the extra fire power up front but the idea of Levy buying someone despite what the manager says/wants is what has gotten us into the bother we are in since last summer(recent run of results not included). I think TS is wrong but I think Levy should listen to his manager and if he says no then so be it.

I wouldn't be in a rush to let Lamela out on loan. He has to settle in to our team.

Sure it could be worse, he could be Stefan Jovetic, he only has 3 league appearances for City. My point being, it takes players time to settle. The injuries he's had haven't helped that. I look forward to Lamela becoming a fan's favourite!

Bernard possibly on loan from Shaktar.

Or any site which says there's a cash+player deal happening!

Can anyone remember the last time a cash plus player has happened in the Premier League? (I'm serious interested to know who it was).

Just said that to my dad. He was in knots!

Just read a piece on Harry Hotspur page "TIM TELLS ALL" and one sentence stood out.

"Spurs fans who don’t want Berbatov back, are like punters who would prefer their hooker …to be a virgin"

Sorry but I am too tech-stupid to paste the link. Or maybe just too lazy.

I know I would take Dirty Dimitar back,

Sugarlumps

That's a pretty funny quote, he's a super low risk signing in my opinion. Instant quality who'll hit the ground running, huge lift to fans and players alike. Would make a huge impact in the fight for fourth.

White Heart Lane would be rocking with him back. I don't understand how anyone wouldn't want him back in the side? We got a sizeable fee from Utd, it's not like he went for free or to arsenal.

irishmover

Not that I'd complain about him coming back and all but I'd have to wonder the reaction we'd see from Adebayor. Whether we could have two sulks at the club who play the same position is something I'm not so sure about.

pleasant Co.

He'd be a good tool to use in our fight, might even get soldado ticking.

ziedth

He did refuse to play though right? That's pretty despicable if true.

It's an amazing quote though, that being said if he scored a dozen goals and got us over the line I'd have his babies

I honestly think he'd be a great signing but I cant see it.

Sugarlumps

Sure we'll all chip in a few quid and buy him back so. Seriously though if someone else nips in, I'll be very cross.

That's a sickening thought, he looks so graceful in white.

No different to Keane, Modric and Bale, and there will be more. We need to get over this, it happens, we take the best players from Clubs below us.

Ade is getting paid well enough to do his job regardless who the club buy.
Can we trust Ade to play well til end of season if we don't sign someone else? Be nice to have back-up in case of injury, lack of form, etc.

Left Back on the Bench

Adebarndoor and berbasulk. We'd have the hardest working front pair in the league

SuprSi

Whether it will last the rest of the season or not, Ade has been putting in a massive effort in every game - he's all over the pitch and as has been mentioned is playing like when he was originally on loan with us. He's absolutely brilliant in this form.

Devo from Dublin

How strong are these rumours about Berba???
I for one would be delighted with him.
Hits the ground running,( well strolling), no need to "adapt" etc...
No brainer for me..
Go get him Timmy.!

DubPerryman

ITK gossip for us to speculate over...

Ok as it stands we are looking to move on Holtby, Capoue if Napoli pay what we want, Chadli will most likely stay no firm interest.
A lot of senior players not happy as Atlanta said, guess by today's press conference you can see why.
If Tim stays in summer Baldini goes, very different views, Lamela is fit hence no urgent search for a striker but they are looking.
Incomings on Radar English number 2 keeper, old English LB and CH, though this may change if Baldini can influence matters.
We need more over 21 home grown players.

It's quite vague, but this is all I have...

Just a little info
As I said before AVB got the boot things at WHL are not good.
Things are not getting any better we have a number of senior players that are not happy we the way things are shaping up at the club.

I'm having a medical in the morning.

Medical went well lads. Just have an issue with the contract. Was offered £80,000 a week holding out for £80,001. Levy as usual not budging.

Should try heading over to Chelsea to see if they will give you the contract you want.... They are known to take players who have just passed a spurs medical...
