Maybe, just maybe we haven't heard anything today because soldado doesn't apparently return to Valencia training until Saturday and is away on his hols with family until then. With this in mind maybe he will be unavailable for publicity shots until his return, not much benefit in announcing a player without the player photograph in a spurs shirt (or atleast a scarf)

Spunking all over the keyboard and then wiping it up doesn't really count as your computer breaking and you fixing it...


May i suggest purchasing a blast shield for your keyboard...... Great for stopping rebel scum and jizzum.

Give some of those straws, I want to clutch at them.

All are possible departures - but this season we do not have lots of high wage players who are surplus to requirements, except when we upgrade them, in fact we have about the right number of players and no need for a major disposal programme.

So with 2 signings coming in I suspect the most 'urgent' one to offload is Parker (upgraded by Paulhino) who is on high wages and possibly Huddlestone (I suspect on medium wages as he was signed some years ago).

Livermore and Naughton are not on big wages, so Levy will not prioritise their departires, more likely wait until someone meets a good price. Both are young but with PL experience so ideal for a mid/low PL club.

Chadli joining us might trigger Falque going on loan or being sold, but he's on relatively low wages so I doubt if Levy would prioritise a deal for him.

Gomes is a funny one, on larghe wages - but he is a decent back up keeper if there are doubts over Freidal - he may decide to stay a season so as to be able to leave on a free in the summer.

The likes of Dempsey and Ade/Defoe will only be dealt with when we sign a striker - we cannot afford to sell any of them before seeing the other incomings. Ditto BAE.

So of the outgoings, I suspect its only Parker that is a priority to sell (mainly to get ogff the wages bill), but depends if QPR, West Ham or other lower PL club want to pay the £3m/4m that DL might want for him.

Think this explains the limited ITK on outgoings so far.


Even if we do sign a striker we should retain both Ade and Defoe unless another central striker comes in. As last season showed, not only do we need better quality but depth too.

I also wonder about Parker to QPR now that they've signed Karl Henry, he does a similar job.

I forgot i was once useful.
All you need to do to regain that crown is simply arrange for the devaluation of the Euro (just temporarily) so that the exchange rate on €30m is roughly equivalent to £16m and a bag of wine gums.
Off you go... Currency to break!

Think the last time we did that type of unveiling was Davids.
I still remember it was a sunny Friday, I'd just finished work and being in my early 20's decide to have a pint, after being served I made my way to the beer garden. On route I looked quickly at the tv which had ssn on with a yellow breaking news bar at the bottom. Edgar David's to join spurs on a free transfer. I stopped took a deep breath before running round like a kid on Xmas day - good memory's. all my mates who supported Man U were like Well jel

BBC Football website for me, just before I left work for the day, a magical moment :)
