Everyone has an opinion but let's see if you say that if he gets a chance to play for us...
On the other players you mentioned they all showed potential just needed to improve certain things IMO(lets not even start on bale taling flak!) in kabouls case ot was concentration and still is sometimes, and IMO rose shows no potential...

As a rocket scientist no, as a tidy footballer yes, probably not a top player but he has potential, ridiculous statement..

If we manage to sign Paulinho and Villa early in the window and it remedies the gaps in the squad, what will we do until September?

Im not sure this transfer policy coupled with common sense is our bag really, first we get our highest amount of away wins, then our highest haul of points in PL era, followed by the manager (head coach) saying our best player is not leaving and now early transfer activities.

This is not the Tottenham Hotspur i'm used to supporting!

So we're going to sign players early, that fit into the managers preferred system, and then get rid of the platers who are surplus to requirements.

That sounds weirdly like an actual transfer policy. Something must be wrong. Don't Boas & Baldini know we're Spurs and that's NOT how we do things.

Don't worry, it's all just to sweeten us up before we let Bale go to Chelsea for £15mil + Paulo Ferreira. :p

All you need to do is just cast a little bread upon the water and see how many little fishes there are down there....

Starvation of ITK brings this reaction.

Cracked it, it's David Villa!!! We have to wait for The Confed Cup to finish before we get him..


Humour me guys, it's the first cryptic I've actually got an answer for, so if you could all pat me on the back and pretend I'm the first to work it out, that'd be great.

Even if all this stuff actually happens, we will have plenty of negativity around if anyone is worried. Too many big names in and we will be convinced that Bale is off and we'll be dying to go base jumping without a parachute.

So why do we need to use a cryptic for Villa when everyone knows we've been linked......

and I realize theres a need to try to keep a lid on things like this but theres no need for cryptic info related to him.

The reason we need the cryptic is so that people talk about ITK in this thread rather than Harry Kane

What makes you think that? POTL said a couple of weeks ago that if it comes off it will be down to Levys hard work.

when Baldini left Roma, before he was confirmed at Spurs, a Spanish journalist was tweeting a lot that he is the man to bring Villa to Spurs. The one to close the deal, the one Villa will listen to and to convince him.

I'm sure a lot was done in the background beforehand, AVB and Levy and whoever they sent over to Brazil to chat to players, but perhaps Mr Baldini's holidays have been in South America this summer...
