    Few rumors floating around about Townsend to Villa.

    Just on a side note, watched the England U21 game. Tom Carroll will never make it at Tottenham, too slight and not enough of an imposing threat.

    Pritchard came on late, Kane and himself looked on the same wave length.

    Thought Pritchard looked tidy myself. Willing to get at a guy and seemed to work even though he was only on 15 minutes or so

    Lowton gone to Burnley. I think its safe to say we've got another right back.

    Apparently Alderweireld has told his friends he'll be joining Spurs.

    Yes, lots of sources have this, that he's been promised first team place alongside Vertongen once again

    That'd be excellent

    I can't see Alderweireld joining, Dier, Fazio, Wimmer & Kaboul all are all on the books. The bullshít rumor mill is hotting up.

    Dembele to Chelsea being the latest.

    Kaboul isn't first team any longer, can see him being offloaded.

    I'd be happy to sell to Chelsea if we got Salah in return. Dembele wouldnt strengthen them

    Think Fazio and Kaboul on "available" for transfer. But isn't Vertonghen also a CB?

    Trippier is a serious but of business and a steal at that price. Absolutely delighted with the news he has signed. Only 23 so he could improve further.

    Hope he doesn't get mucked about like Davies last season, he's good enough to start the opening game of the season and then take it from there.

    Guaranteed starter, the rest are fighting for the available slot.

    Verthongen gave up a season and a half ago.

    Under Sherwood, when he was forced play on the left. He did well under Poch and was one of the first names on the team sheet

    As what a programme seller? :D He isn't starting with us so he'd hardly likely to get into their team.

    Think it was AVB who started playing Verts on the left.

    To be fair Davies didnt exactly take his chance when he played and Rose was without a doubt a better performer than him last season

    Dare I tempt fate by saying that it looks like Pauline is leaving for China!!!!!

    Would be fantastic is he landed there as we may miraculously get something approaching what we paid.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/tottenham-hotspur/11698615/Tottenham-close-in-on-Toby-Alderweireld-transfer.html
    Alderweireld deal close.
    Article also mentions a bid for Yannick Ferreira Carrasco, a 21 year old winger at Monaco. It also says that Anthony Martial is signing a new deal at Monaco, and that Watford are in for Capoue.

    12m would be great. Hope this is true, no quotes


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,909 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    Spurs have struck a deal with Dnipro for Ukrainian international winger Yevhen Konoplyanka, who has flown to London for a medical (Eurosport)

    Probably not very reliable though?

    Talk on Twitter that Utd have scuppered our possibility of a deal with Schneiderlin


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,909 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    Schneiderlin would be a good acquisition, 25 mill is a princely sum. Surely there's better value out in the market.

    Possibly, but I think the PL experience was what made him so desirable. It may be best we don't waste any more time on him and move to or next target.

    He's stated he wants CL football, so we were never realistically in the running. This transfer is dour. I'll be happy once we trim the fat.

    The glimmer was nice while it lasted, but the reported fees have gone 12mil->15mil->17mil (all gbp) so tis probably unlikely

    Scolari is their manager, so could help him settle in. Apparently they're increasing his wages from 55k to 85k - there's mad money over there.
