    And Dortmund have comfirmed Spurs enquiries for Rosicky, so it looks like Spurs are formulating a plan B.

    Knowing us, plan Z will be the end of it all... :D

    I hate this thing about Spurs, Postiga said he loved the club and always supported them as a child when he came, will we ever get a player who can honestly admit the only reason he's playin where he is is cos their payin him 40 odd grand a week

    I would be surprised if UTD were not in for him. He is a quality midfielder and he is available on a free. He is also good mates with RVN and they have played well together in the past. He'll probalay have a few clubs very interested in him so we'll have to wait on his decision.

    Never said he loved the club....said he liked the stadium and the atmosphere and that he would play for Spurs if the move was going to happen....never mentioned loving the club!!

    scored a hattrick from midfield yesterday against ajax. they lost 4-0. not a good start for blind.

    van bommel is quality but quite injury prone. would love to see him at spurs at its worth taking the risk. he is 26/27 i think so at his peak!!

    Yeah but if he loves stadiums or the atmosphere why doesn't he join pourtsmouth or millwall, ever been to Fratton Park?

    Seeing as he hasn't played on either ground I dont suppose he can comment on the atmosphere!!! doesnt really matter wat my opinion is on the atmosphere in every stadium in England seeing as I ain't Van Bommel...does it now???

    Dont see what point you are trying to make!!!

    He's an outstanding player, I hope Arsenal get him to replace Edu. He's big and strong, great in the tackle, good engine, has a great range of passes and is excellent in dead-ball situations. He'll be a big loss for PSV.

    I don't know if hes good enough for united, not as a replacement for keane anyway. I haven't seen him that much though. I remember there was a lot of hype surrounding him a few years ago but that seemed to die off a little. Maybe Im wrong.

    Mendes will leave in the Summer, and there's talk of either Davies to Everton or Davis back to Fulham. Brown might be jogging on as well.

    All signs here point to Barça. Van der Vaart is available for tuppence ha'penny if anyone is interested in a young, talented if somewhat arrogant Dutch midfielder.
