Would Paulinho have been to WHL to have a look around or would his advisers have just come over? Do players sign deals without having been shown around the stadium?

That should put people's nerves to rest. Bigging us up. Reckon Sandro had a quiet word over the phone. ;)

‘I feel I am ready to experience football at the highest level in Europe and the opportunity to play in England is a dream,’ said the midfielder, who is set to become one of the Premier League’s brightest stars.
‘It’s a great pleasure to be linked to such a great club like Tottenham. ‘They have a reputation as one of the great clubs in England who play exciting, attacking football which suits my style.
‘I couldn't turn them down if they made it made me an offer. It would be a great pleasure to play for Tottenham.’
Good lad.

The quote from AVB talking about the 'guarantees' given to him by Levy really caught my eye as well. With the alleged interest from PSG, I don't think Levy can back out of those guarantees now.

For the first time I'm 100% convinced Bale will be a Spurs player next season. I wonder what the other guarantees were?
David Villa is reportedly one of them.

Is it only me who feels its perfectly realistic DM have just fabricated these quotes? Although would that not make them liable to being sued?

It's what they do best but in this case I'd say the quotes are real, thats on the basis that it's good news and I want it to be true.

Hope we get him but I don't see how Levy can guarantee the signing of someone elses player, that sounds more like Mr Perez in Madrid :inpain:
Well articles and recent ITK would indicate that Villa could be signing. Baldini is on a mission to get him apparently.

Absolutely, I just doubt Levy would have promised AVB that he'd sign him. He might have said we'll go all out to get him though, personally if we signed David Villa and Paulinho I think my head would explode. It would be Klinsmannesque in it's beauty.

Still too many ifs and buts in that DM article for my liking. Paulinho hasn't once said he is actually joining Spurs.

At least they're not inciting any racial hatred in that article, a few ifs and buts is quite refreshing from the Mail.

That's not the sort of thing Levy could guarantee though. With Bale, that's in our control. Maybe it's a guarantee of not waiting 30 seconds before the end of the transfer window before offering a half-eaten sandwich and some expired Hear Say tickets in exchange for Leandro.
