Don't think so, but it might mean he couldn't play against Swansea. I think Jovetic was announced before international clearance.

Really hoping he will be able to play against Swansea!!!

I so want Bale to stay now. Just think about the fear that would bring to last year's top four. Fucking priceless if we hang on to him!

Wow, what a great day. Enjoyed some time with my mates (yeah I caved in) and come back to see POTL has confirmed the Willian signing. Unbelievable. What a team we will have, regardless of whether Bale stays or goes. We just need some reinforcements in defensive positions and we should be sweet. I'm so happy and excited!

CrazyKen · Aug 21, 2013

Sorry to the Mod's for my last post (that got deleted). Im just so happy, that i feel drunk!

IF we get both Willian and Lamela + another CB/LB..I think we'll get a medal this season!!

Exhibit one!

Ahh come on mate, read the last part of his post again. "But, as things stand, we're well on course for our best ever window."

We're all different on here and express our views/excitement in different ways. I'm sure that everyone on this forum appreciates the info you and the other ITKs provide..........even those that question it because they also have the choice to ignore it (y)

ME. Checked my account this morning the £500 bet is still going. Said bet pending but I'm almost positive its paddy power fucking up and rubbing my nose in it.

They are all amazing world-class signings and Daniel/Franco had worked wonders. No one can argue that.

I don't think I'm out-of-order in being concerned that this appears to be too much, too soon. I'm not bothered about people comparing us to Citeh, but so many players, how are we going to keep them and the incumbents happy? How long will it take the team to gel? And with all the money committed, how much pressure is AVB going to be under if he doesn't get it right straight away? The on

I hope I'm worrying unnecessarily but I think the closing off the window could be the start of the drama, not the end of it.

I was concerned too about the amount of changes and how it would effect team spirit, but then you look at the class we have bought and about to and thye should be able to pick up AVB's way of playing quickly. He has bought them to play his system and those that nhave gone or about to go don't fit that way of playing. Sit back and enjoy the ride

I am staggered that some people on here think this window has been Meh so far, FFS I have been supporting Spurs for 50 years and no season has come close, we have bought real class and quality and haven't finished yet. Some of you are beginning to sound like City and Chelski fans, so what we have bought one of the best strikers in Europe and the main cog for the Brazil team and the next Viera in Capoue.
You are either very young or you have very short memories

50 years ?
Respect .... (y)

Now I know why you are 'Grey' Fox

Long time lurker here, just donated a tenner to the cause.

Keep up the good work everyone, the site is fantastic and yesterday was golden.

With 2 best mates and a younger brother who are Goons, this is a great time to be a Spurs fan!!

I have and its things like "on course" that gets my goat (sorry Oh bearded one), it is already the best window FFS

Can someone please put my mind at ease that Willian can score a few, his record isn't the best is there any reason for this? His dribbling and skills are undeniable will he get into double figures? Or is he creator only?

Shrewd politics by AVB to ask for a Director of Football.

And to ask Bale to pretend he was leaving for the summer so Levy spent loads-a-dosh. :whistle:

(Very, very wishful thinking)

Ghost Hardware · Aug 21, 2013

So one of the two medicals today is maybe for Todor... any chance the other could be for Lamela? if, hypothetically, it was, that would make the Express article right!....

.... Would the world implode if the Express actually get something right, coz i would quite like to see our new team play together before i does.

Take a look in the Willian thread where it has been discussed in detail.

Can't believe I'm going to be away from this for five days. Someone hold me.

I've been having similar concerns - but its in my nature to look at things this way.

I though do think AVB, Daniel, Joe and Franco will have looked at this side of things in great detail. Their risk assessments side of their jobs and positions will have been going full bore.

But I'm with you on this.

It will I agree take time to knit this group into a team.

POTL is properly gushing over Franco, I can't blame him either
