Pascal Chimbonda (from rumour to transfer done)

[sunnydelight786]

I do so love these mass hysteria moments.

SS57, be honest mate and tell me what your take is on this.....?

 

[tony0379]

oh come on lads it aint that bad!
who you lot expecting to sign for us? we're fucked any player former or not is a welcome addition.
lets stay up then we might get linked with the likes of veloso again hey.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Chimbooooooooooooo.

What a character.

What a waste of time.

I don't understand what has Gunters has done wrong:shrug:. What sort of message does this send out to other young players? Also you've got to feel sorry for Levy. This will be the second time he has had to go back with his tail between his legs for a former player. I don't wanna say it but we could be going back to the dark days pre-Jol. Buying over the hill over priced average players and fighting it out for mid table

7.5m? This has got to be a joke? and a very unfunny one at that

 

[VegasII]

Only in the summer 08 dreamland when were all on acid & ether.

 

[THOWIG]

I cannot defend us anymore. We are a shambles.

 

[Kendall]

Indeed. If I wasn't a spurs fan I'd fucking hate us. We are worse than Newcastle.

 

[yanno]

No doubt 7 million of that is agent fees.
Yanno.

Yup.

Some racehorses will be getting extra oats tonight... :grin:

There's a lot of agent commissions to be divvied up amongst the parties who facilitated Pascal's one-man transfer merry-go-round. Stevens of the Yard must be getting his calculator out once again....

 

[Rabbi_Krustofski]

he could be a diff player under harry. lennon and dawson changed?

 

[Bobishism]

Don't worry. It'll give us a nice excuse to fire harry in say, 4 months.

 

[spursfan1991]

He could help David Bentley have more space to put more crosses in, £7million is bad though lol.

 

[Adamspurs]

What did I miss?!

Oh, luckily its ssn that broke the story, no need to worry then.

 

[double0]

lads this cant be happening...............can it.

i always thought 'arry was a decent manager but since we got him in i am baffled.
some of these signings and tactics are weird.i just rang my uncle who has supported tottenham for 20 years and told him we were trying to sign chimbo. this is what he said quote " DONT TAKE THE FUCKING PISS, MOTHER OF JESUS THAT **** COULDNT GET A KICK IN A STAMPEDE THE LAST TIME WE HAD HIM"

Harry's made the correct signing for far. Defoe is value for money and we know what were getting IE goals.

Palacisos from all accounts is an all action high energy central midfield player with good distribution, probably an up grade to Zokora.

Chimbonda if bought is a good squad player and decent right back...yes i think this particular signing can be questioned by Redkanpp. It also leads to more question IMO about Corluka, it could be an indication that Harry See's Corluka as a central defender...IMO as good as Woodgate and better consistency than Dawson or DM which signify big changes to our midfield

The signing of Chimbonda signifies changes.

1.King-
2.Corluka
3.Jenas
4.Gunter.
5.Huddlestone

 

[Spurs_Q8]

why people thinking Harry would accept paying £7.5m from his transfer budget to Chimbonda, let a lone the fact Levy would never do ..

I think it is on loan, although I'm not happy with it too.

 

[yanno]

Don't worry. It'll give us a nice excuse to fire harry in say, 4 months.

Yup. I can see the press conference now, with Mr Daniel Levy taking the moral high ground.

The racehorse that McKay may or may not have given Redknapp - neither of them quite seem to know - was called "Double Fantasy". Which has a certain irony...

Whilst Chimbo spent time on police bail before being exonerated.

All innocent men, of course. Stevens of the Yard was out of order... :wink:

[punky]

I'm sure some ITKs said that all purchases after Palacios will need to be financed by sales. I wonder who's going?

 

[iluvsteffenfreund]

where is it sayin 7 mill?

 

[spurs]

Don1 in other thread saying Goal say its £3mil

http://www.goal.com/en/news/8/main/2...tenham-hotpsur

That sounds bit more realistc. Bit odd as he hasn't played much for Sunderland but started last 4 games.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

He doesn't really seem the type of signing that harry has been talking about though. He has been saying be need characters with passion who are willing to fight for the team. Correct me if i'm wrong but Chimbonda didn't display these qualities the first time around and from what i've read he hasn't been at the mackems. By all accounts he was one of the most lethargic players i have ever seen in a tottenham shirt!

 

[spurs]

Do you think Sbragia was about to accuse us of tapping up Jones - so we bought PC to keep them quiet???

 

[freeeki]

If its £3m its a snip. Fair play I suppose.

My source for the £7.5m was my Cov City supporting housemate who came bounding through from the next room to scream at me that Sky News had said so.
