I believe he's labellin himself a fat knob
for rating my post dumb by accident. Atleast I hope!

I thought he meant he had a fat knob, and that he should stop using it to type/browse on his phone and start using his finger...

 

[ryantegan]

Tawny port - port comes from.........Oporto.......which is in.......Portugal!

Hello Mr Moutinho!

 

[talkshowhost86]

This isn't a formation post per se before I get hammered!
If AVB sticks with 4-2-3-1 I would prefer to stick Dembele out on the left of the 3 given his ability to go past players.
I've said all along I wouldn't want Remy. I watched him a few times for Lyon last season and was massively underwhelmed. Hopefully SSN are misinformed!

Yeah to be fair his performances for Lyon last season were pretty non-existant

 

[Hoopspur]

Forget Marseille - I know where Danny will be later. In the Casino.

He will be at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco for a kind of speed dating thing. He will be sitting at a table with a big pile of cash and a dozen Spurs membership cockerel badges on a first come, first bought basis. Why bother shooting off all over the world when all the important people will be in 1 big room, all at the same time later? Maybe player poker - "I bet an Isco". "I'll raise you a Willian". DL holds all the cards and all the Euros!

 

[lillywhites61]

Ah I really have a sinking feeli g that Rafa will be gone. He has to be one of my all time favourite players now for his passion when he plays. He clearly loves playing for spurs and the fans as well.

Will be very gutted

I'm pretty sure AVB won't be checking with Sky on where we should play Dembo.

 

[dodispur]

There is

"Remember" + "D Levy" = Remy + Dembele (+ RV?) ?

For Marseille you mean.

I was thinking either a mistake or you was a massive Apple fanboy

Since the new forum format I alway just use my phone.

Hello Mr Moutinho!

Drinking too much Tawny slows the reflexes doesn't it

 

[DanNolan]

anybody else rather keep VDV and just buy maybe berbatov, lloris and remy/willian rather than sell VDV and but moutinho?
I dont feel that Dembele is as effective as Rafa in that CF role and if we got Moutinho hed be there or benched? I think Rafa is our best player regardless and though the signongs would be good I feel we will lack a player who single handedly wins games like VDV does. I would stick rather than twistat this point. I know weve lost class in modric being replaced by dembele but overall were a lot stronger with mf options of Rafa Sig Dembele Parker Sandro who are all great players and most have a good engine. Stick for me

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Villas-Boas has started to overhaul his squad, bringing in Moussa Dembele from Fulham in a £15m deal and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for £12m, while Luka Modric was allowed to join Real Madrid.


Quotes from the SSN report on us wanting Remy. Sorry if this has been covered. But they imply Lloris deal is done? Interesting

 

[worcestersauce]

So am I right thinking carvalho on loan as kaboul injury is bad

Well I know someone is misinformed...

 

[Super Tottenham]

I'm planning on kidknapping VDV until deadline day is over. Who's up for it with me?

I reckon we could do it like that scene with the truck from the movie Old School.

You're my boy Blue!

Alright alright lads I slipped up - it's all the Hugo talk! Now it's rectified so pipe down

That's the badger. Don't know if Carvalho has been confirmed by anyone else but he would be the obvious option.

 

[SpurSince57]

Doubt the club takes such a short term view of their finances.
What about Pienaar and Bassong? That's another £7.5 million
What about the last window, did we make a profit?

Well, it would be if we'd got them for free. As it is, we paid £11m, so we made a £3.5m loss to add to the £20m we lost on Pavlyuchenko, Palacios, Hutton and Corluka.

 

[Benspur]

Yeah, our new 'special relationship' with RM should give us a good chance on getting Carvalho in. He'd be the obvious choice.
