Actually good shout, I think it's the guy who knicked Harry's wallet making the bids. Even they can see we need a striker.

why are some spurs fans negative about this? Levy is hardly going to be bidding 38million for a publicity stunt. Yes its stupid we are leaving it until the last minutebut Levy loves to work like this for some reason and if it means us getting in a top quality striker do you really care? I'm not saying we will get Aguero but i find it incredibly exciting we are trying for players of this qaulity and Value.

Exactly, I was going to say the exact same thing. Levy wouldnt act so carelessly with the money the club has. If we had offered this sort of cash a few weeks ago we would have been easily priced out from other interest from clubs who can afford to spend money in such a stupid manner.

So.......our only hold up is the tax on buying one of these spanish players, sell Pav and there we go problem sorted.

Of course the players would have to agree to come here but if we dont get this striker because of the tax and it means we keep some of the deadwood, I'll be pretty disappointed.

I'm not bemoaning his will to sign a striker. I'm questioning if he really thinks such a bid will come off.

First of all, Chelsea had arguably a larger bid rejected last week.

Secondly, Aguero can see the clubs sniffing around him. He loves Atletico, and we musn't forget, no one looks at Spurs as fondly as we do. I'd take Spurs for 15k a week over 200k a week at City. But he's not a yid. So why on earth would he want to join us when he knows Chelsea and Real Madrid are after him?

Strap yourselves in lads. Think today is going to be an incredible roller-coaster ride. Just praying it ends well and we get off with our sanity in check.

Maybe Levy will use this tactic of going for 4 different strikers with our new Stadium bid.
he has the OS and the NLD, just 2 more stadiums to find....

Well.... today's the day!

My money is still on no one coming in. Or at best someone not very awe-inspiring coming in.

Having slept on what was our worst performance on the pitch in about 3 years... I got to thinking this morning that our squad is good anyway, sure we're not great up front but we've got enough about us to win more than we lose, definitely. 4th might just be out of our reach though... unless we can do serious business by 11pm!

From next window on, I'm going to resign myself to no activity. I won't visit this thread. I won't read any transfer rumours or any ITK. And then, with 28hours to go before the deadline.... BAM! I'll read all 128 pages of the on the day transfer thread, read all ITK that was posted up until that day, and strap myself in for the 24 hours of the "Tottenham transfer window"
