SSN says leandro looking increasingly unlikely, but in the same sentence says willian heading to anzhi (which apparently is / has been off)... so to believe or not to believe... that is the qn..

no mention of hudd, jj, db, townsend or any other ins too...

isn't this very un-tottenham on deadline day? where the reporter has f all to report?

Cant see that being true. Why would he settle for 5th and 6th when we can realistcially challenge for 60+million a year extra in the champions league?

Yeah sorry on reading that back I didn't word it too well. I just mean it seems like the players we have is what he will give us to have a go at 4th. He seemingly won't ever just go for it and buy someone for big money and really push things. It just seems he's happy to think that were a club more than capable of having 5/6th wrapped up and he'll give us the odd cheaper player in the hope that if everything comes together (us playing well, other teams failing) we might get the odd season where we manage to nick 4th.

It's a bit like we won't get 4th just by being the 4th best team, it'll be because we played well but Arsenal etc had poor seasons.

Sorry, I don't believe that after two years there's a sticking point on price - with a 10% difference - which is fucking massive in a deal like this.

I really really really don't see it. It's just not how any sort of business works.

That "rumour" is just plain bullshit.

We can't be "close to doing a deal" yet bidding at 10% less. It doesn't make any sense. Levy's a shrewd businessman but he's not an unprofessional buffoon. Smacks of people playing Championship Manager and making up how deals work.

Last minute move for Hooper if you ask me....wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Wouldn't surprise me either, will be like the Charlie Adam one (thank god he didn't sign btw) a bid will go in at the 11th hour but won't have enough time to finalise it.

When dealing with Inter over Damiao, it's clear that any reports we hear have to be taken with a huge amount of salt.

The number of times we've been 'close' is ridiculous so it would hardly be a surprise for it to fall through again.

What would be pretty unforgiveable is if we didn't have a sensible backup option...which is looking increasingly unlikely.

thats what I' thinking. We will go for him or Odemwinge

Yep...that's the bracket we'll be in mate.

20 million pound deals with a few hours to go arn't going to happem. Those quotes from Inter have been mischievously represented I bet.

'Inter do not want to sell this window' shouldn't we have figured that out on the 1st Jan with an enquiry? FFS Spurs. Levy sort this mess out.

I hope you remembered our agreement yesterday and haven't made any bets on us signing anyone! If I find out you bet on us signing LD then I will smother you with a truffle shuffle! ;)

no bets today. I promised. But come 11.30pm I will be backing LD to be our top scorer this season... I hope!

Crazy, we don't know what really is going on behind the scenes but Inter are the biggest prick teasers, honestly what is the point of dealing with them, if it doesn't happen then please just move on, why do we waist our time.

Lol we won't sign leandro no chance why wait until now?

As i keep saying, Inter will be quite desperate to get rid of him today.

However Levy will smell this from 6,000 miles away and want to pay Inter the sqaure root of sweet fuck all to sign him. So i can't see it happening.
