Spurs In For Inertia
Tuesday, 23 June 09, 02:20 AM · Comments (111)
The news broke initially around twenty past lunchtime yesterday afternoon. What transpired this morning only went to confirm things and I've have worked at an urgent pace to firm up as much of the information as possible and blog it.
I can now exclusively reveal that nothing's happened.
A chap by the name of Ian Broomfield has been appointed head scout. A signing greated with a universal yeah, but who's he signing?
Pointy Shouty Bloke is marginally closer to leaving for Sunderland but that feels like watching time lapse photography that hasn't been speeded up. Pavlyuchenko's agent even came out and denied something none of could remember him saying in the first place.
England played Germany in an U21 last night. A less spectacular display of pointless running up and down I can't recall. I am dead underwhelmed.
Even the activity of others has produced a muffled so what? Santa Cruz has gone to Manchester City.Who cares? Glen Johnson's off to the Bindippers, Lawd knows how much for a defender who can't. Michael Owen's brochure had it's final proof last night and will be in a mail shot next Monday.
Some good was in the news that Manchester United had faciltated the Winker's exit from British shores. Maybe the Glasiers could buy Championship darlings Newcastle with the lolly and someone will eventually get this window moving.
So here's to something happening. And I'm getting the point where I'm not fussed as to what. News of a fatality in the big Brother house would provide some cheer.
I just want to reassure readers that when nothing else happens, you'll hear it here first.

Thanks for the heads up
Harry, please give us a whiff of transfer news, pleeeeeeease!!! Any other close season we are linked with everyone, now i hear nothing!!! I can't stand it no more!!! I long for the days to see a signing like klinsmann. I remember coming home and seeing klinsmann and sugar on a yatch in the south of france confirming the deal had been done!
I was nursing a semi for days after that signing. I really hope i can get properly excited by another massive signing so i can nurse a full boner this summer!!! coys!!!
Inertia will never leave Barcelona to come to us. You're delusional!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you think the Joe Cole "rumour" has substance Harry ? please say it has !
Thanks Harry, always one step ahead of the game as usual.
If we want some good signings then how about Diego Capel and Pedro Leon of Spain U21s. Saw them play Finland in Gothenburg last night and these two are simply the bollocks on the biggest of bees.
Could you maybe start a rumour that Broomfield has his eyes on these two ... and let's see what happens - they truly were magnificent.
Capel who only played for 10 minutes reminded me of Ginola (praise be upon him)
Adam makes you sound like some crack dealer, "please give me one more hit?!".
I thought I could now share the fact that a freind in the know, heard that some people who may or may not be from this or another country, have already opened a door to the possibility that a player or other professional, or not, is not adverse to the concept of at some point before the end of his or her career, playing in this league and geographically speaking wouldn't projectile vomit and go into hiding if it was the capital or as a result of some capital.
So I think that's looking very promising. In theory, should it pan out. I'm not ruling it in or out.
Something may or may not happen or other.
In the exact emotion portrayed by Gary Oldman in Leon when calling for back up in the final scene,
Sign "EVEEERYOOOOOOONE!!!!!"
Please.
Anything?
I can see us getting ATrophy this season...
OK in summary, Harry, I think we're now at the stage where we would like you to lie to us.
Not a small white one, no.
Make up a great big whopper and string us along for a few days, just so we can continue to feel the rollercoaster of emotions we demand as Spurs.
It's like supporting Bolton at the mo.....
deacon, joey cole would be a manners signing! I can't see him getting much of a game and chavski this season tbh.
I say sign him up and get some big lump to play alongside jd. job done!
lmao posh spur
crack dealer indeed )
i go along with your idea of telling a whopper!!! kjh from real madrid should be big enough don't you think?
Personally guys i'm rather pleased that this window is proving rather quiet. We need to make a limited numbers of signings coupled with a small number of departures. Look at Everton and Villa, these are the model we should aspire to steady progress. I'm fed up with them trying to reinvent the wheel every summer - hence our slow starts. I also thinnk it would be good to see some signings that we haven't heard of before.

"Tottenham have accepted the offer from Barcelona of £60million + Iniesta for J. Jenas."
mmmmmmmm, if only Champ Manager could be applied to real life....
COYS.....do something interesting!!!
Gomes
Corluka King Woodgate A&E
Lennon Wilson Modric J Cole
Crouch Defoe
I like that alot!!!
joe cole has apparently admitted that he would be happy to play football in london next season - so thats it - he's coming!!
"To celebrate his upcoming nuptials to Danielle Bux, Gary Lineker has revealed that he is to star in a number of games for one of his previous clubs, Tottenham Hotspur. In between mouthfuls of Cajun Squirrel crisps, Lineker, ageless, said that he wouldn't be telling the media or the fans what games he would play, instead pitching up on the day:"Sometimes I'll be in a Pavlyuchenko mask, sometimes a Defoe, then i'll bow to the Park Lane end and reveal myself. It'll be a bit of fun won't it?"

oi . . .don't mock the disabled.

* bites shoulder *
sorry - joe cole has fallen through - have heard he has just walked into a medical and has failed instantly as he is above our 5'8 height restriction. Never mind there's always the massive selection of midget strikers/2nd strikers we get linked with everyday - the new ground is obviously going to be named the chocolate factory and our manager is changing his name by deed poll to arry wonka (no disrespect intended)
Cole would be nice.
Trouble is, we are in danger of sitting out the window while we wait for offers for our lot while our adversaries pick up the good deals.
Come back in August for the panic buying/selling, nothing to see here....
Owen said it yesterday - July 1st is when the exit bells start ringing. For the most, contracts dictate when this all happens again. Patience my dear friends. Are Sunderland going to do it again, for even more money this time? PSB, Bent and...
Taxi for Mr Zokora.

I'm starting a rumour that Jonas from Newcastle is joining us as I used to live near Ossie.
In all seriousness, the players we will go after are about at the same level Man C will target so we have no hope.... Barry, Cruz, possible Tevez.
IMO, Harry will attempt to unearth some relative unknowns.
I'll be pleasantly surprised if we get make a prestigous signing and die of despair if we buy anyone over 28.
Aruna Dindane of Lens would do a job for us!! you tube him!!! and he's available too for around £6m.
I don't think Levy trusts `Arry, and who could blame him
Just an update on your story Harry. I've been talking to a guy who once lanced a boil on the foot of somebody who collected the bins from 2 streets down to a bloke who used to test the seats at WHL, and apparently nothing is expected to be completed this morning at approximately 11:20am.
The word on the street at the moment is "Give Way".
So not only have we just signed Cole, Messi and Huntelaar, but we've paraded them in last seasons kit at a packed WHL in exactly the same pose!
Awesome.

Hmmm.
I would of thought that if any planning had been carried(were not very good at that ) out, that Harry would like to have most of his squad together when they fly out to beijing.
So we do not have long .
My guess is most players Harry thought he would get to Spurs that he couldnt get to Portsmouth have pass him by.
Harry for once would love to splash the cash but
We are now almost also rans in this market.
No European Football
Lower wages
mid table club
We are probably 7th at best in the buying pecking order.
This is where Harry should be showing his true worth and finding us the next sully muntari not for £20 million but for 3 or 4 .
I feel only Harrys wheeling and dealing will get us through this market and make us competative this season.
Lets just hope he hasnt spent the summer so far dreaming of players hes got no chance with and not dealing in the real market that we are in.

Absolutely nothing... The transfer saga continues - at this time last year we had three 'major' signings - Modric(April), Dos Santos(June), Gomes(June) - I need to see this years Modric and Gomes...and hope they'll get an easier start than them...
I for one don't need the tall skinny robot guy - I think PAV is a better player than him anyway - no need to buy an average striker, we had Kanoute and swapped him for Rageinasack?, same same or different!
I hope 'arry knows what he's doing...
I hate the transferwindow - close it down to one month - and stop the nonsense.
Is it essential that the transferwindow is open for 3 months in order to sell newspapers?
Right, this story is quite old I heard it about 3 or 4 weeks ago from a Man U fan I work with and he said that he knows the guy who writes all the club songs and fanzines etc at man U (this is true, bear with me) and he said that Berbatov was offered back to Spurs for 20 million but spurs declined the offer, they don't want the treachourous scumbag back, my source was quite adamant that this is true, i don't know what do you think, would you have him back for 20 mill
i do hope you save on your electric bills by putting your washing in the bath with you
I mentioned you'd be stunned yesterday!!!
You see what happens when we're not linked with every registered fottballer world wide!
I hope you appreciate my choice of avatar, Peter Cook in black tie?

NO to berb*ov, he treated all of us like *****, and took martin jol for a mug by refusing to warm up etc!!! he can join leyton orient on loan for a season!!!
Ta.
So what date do we fly off as a squad to Beijing then?
Business has to be done early this time around.
None of this waiting until the last minute when clubs know we're desperate. Buy first, then sell the tat either in this window or the next when clubs are panicking.
Reply to JoeyDeacon:
bib bib
I love all this desperation for some news! For years we claim to be fed up of being linked with every player under the sun and would love a nice quiet window where we dont need to sort the rubbish from the truth. Now its come along and we dont like it. Its like breaking up with your mental ex then wanting her back when you know shell drive you mad but you just love her!!!!
Relax guys Harry said in January that the spine of the team needed improvements and he improved the spine of the team. This window he said that he wants 2-3 experienced players who will improve the team if not then he wont sign anyone. So if we cant bring in anyone then we will just have to do an Everton and be consistent with our playing squad. Oh what a shame!!!!

Galahad the Gnome?
Reply to Greekos:
We are not Everton.
If this new scouty bloke (NSB?) doesn't know of any better players than Bent, Jenas, O'Hara, Hudd, Pav etc. then WTF is he doing there.
I doubt we'll have major dealings this summer, we spent a fortune in the Jan window and had to pay off Seville, Ramos, Jol, and portsmouth so the coffers aren't as full as they normally are, I wouldn't mind starting with what we have, maybe another midfielder and move some squad players along, having Defoe and one other up front is a decent strike force, he seems sharper than when we sold him.
It would also send out the message to the players that they are a decent team who can try and get us into Europe, but no where near the top 4.

Thank heaven you're on the ball HH. As it's clear no one new is going to be at The Lane. What a relief. No new names to remember, just a few to forget. Ah, this is what the close season is about-absolutely bloody nothing...and it's driving me mad!!!

Mario Mandzukic from Dynamo Zagreb? Nice match with Moders as they play together at national level.
Reply to BruceCastle:
"Play together" used here in the sense that Mandzukic watches Modric from the bench? He's got to be third or fourth choice up front for the national team. I think their time together at club level for Dinamo is probably more significant.

I can't get this boot off my foot.
I think we're going to sign Godot.
I don't know where, though.
And I certainly don't know when.
I don't even know what of the Transfer Window this is.
All I know is it will happen by a tree, so we need to wait by a tree.
I want to go, but we have to wait for a signing.
It will be Godot - he is coming.
I don't know if I like the new kit. I will probably burn it.
Unless Godot like it. If Godot arrives.
Now NewsNow says that Godot isn't coming today, but he will come tomorrow.
I will buy a kit and burn it if he doesn't come.
Now I want to leave, but I find myself not leaving.
No one is even snubbing us.
We have reached football's equivalent of an event horizon.

Some kind of news. There's still tickets left for the Exeter vs. Spurs game on 15th July and the Spurs Legends vs. Exeter the following Sunday.
Gawd knows who's playing in the Legends team but if you're in the area.

P.S can someone post a video of this guy, i can't find him on youtube, he is good though right? I can't wait ooooooh!!!
Reply to BOF:
This could be a double-deal. I hear word that Bougherrall is joining us from Rangers.
Reply to Beadle:
Apparently Didi Le Squatt is also a done deal.
At least Danny Rose made his u21s debut last night. Although when I switched on mid-way through the first half, I didn't realise he was on the pitch. He did come to the fore later, showing plenty of energy and pace, and even going for a few headers although he's small enough to pick up and put in your pocket. But he gave plenty of evidence of a dire first touch.
Can we have a sweepstake in which we predict the number of days before the end of the saummer transfer window in which THFC make their first signing? Looks like we'll have to rely on the youngsters next year, presuming that Harry and co even manage to get rid of the likes of Zokora, Bent, Keane (I definitely think we should cash in -- he's past his best), Taarabt, dos Santos (would like him to stay), Bentley, JJ, Bale, Gunter, Chimbonda, Rocha, Alnwick and the rest of the reserves given they won't be playing next season.
Apparently, though, we're about to sign the hot new Frenchman Riyanne.

A true football critic.
"Didn't realise he was on the pitch."
You probably mistook him for Walcott. Why do you want to keep Dos Santos? - Do you fancy him?
Apparently, though, we're about to sign the hot new Frenchman Riyanne....
What? You mean Riyanne Dutou? Surely not Riyanne Vaplus?

They're not lemony snickets they slashes of piss.
It's a retro shirt design based on Edgar Davids daily urine tests for nandralone.
You also like Bent.
Say no more.
with respect you're wrong.
And I'm an artist so I know about colour and stuff.
It's uric gold. Wasn't he the bad guy in a Bond film?
Father Christmas lives.
I'm moving to Barca where the outlook is decidedly brighter!!! Just not bright yellow.
I really should get around to putting some of my artworks on my page/profile type thing.

Is that an Alan Shearah quote?
Reply to HarryHotspur:
well played Sir.
Bah!
I predict Zokora will be appearing in a photo op in red and white stripes by Monday, I and I don't mean to suggest he's joined a barber's quartet.
Reply to BruceCastle:
This club is pregnant with expectation. Nesting wasn't a bad choice, sir.
Don't mean to put all our eggs in one basket.

Straight through the slips and into the annals of contrived one liners....
Where do are players keep disappearing to:

From left to right: Teemu, Steed, Zokora and Bent.
Reply to Jonny:
Looks like we just missed out on Nada. Just signed for another club for an undisclosed fee. Too bad, would not have been immense for us.
There's still hope for Tan Poco or even Nunca Puedo.

Keep it clean, there's a child's bike outside.
Reply to HarryHotspur:
Although I am no relation to Babara Castle, I share your concern.
But in this instance, let me assure you that are common terms so squeeky clean that I hear the children using them as they pinch said bike and ride away into the warm embers of a long summer's eve.

Glorious. My unconditional love to Windsor and Leeds

Don't worry, it's only Lennon's
OK so we haven't signed anyone, but we have been linked to no less than five players today: Julien Faubert, Albert Crusat, Mario Mandzukic, Ismael Bangoura and Angel Rangel. I'm a bit suspicious of the last one - but it's not as bad as the "Jokero" story!
