Torres?

The transfer window is very nearly upon us. The last Summer window left Spurs wandering around with their hand under their armpit, redfaced and swearing as the damned device slammmed shut on their fingers.
What's guaranteed more so than ever - due to the presence of Arry Wheeler Dealer Redschnapps is that we will be linked to more players than Danielle Lloyd.
Here's some of the incredible sccops so far. Cisse is a done deal. Enquiries have been made for Ballack and Drogba. The glamourous cavalcade comes slightly acropper with the mention of Matthew Upson as another apparent target.
Muntari is anotherIf and that happens I'll eat my kitchen table
What story might better facilitate the dispatch of the unloved Bentley than the tale that we want the one season/hit wonder that was/is Santa Cruz.
The disinformation isn't just reserved for the players. Photoshoplifters have been busy bees. Mansion logos replaced for Holsten. Nice romantic notion, but given the brand's current positioning in the market place I don't think so. Ovaltine must have bigger sales.
HSBC's good name is being bandied about too. This will make more sense once the cranes go up, but not before.
Ledders apologises for acting out of character. I found that a strange one. Out of character for whom? I choirboy playing Happy Families with his Great Aunt, or a lobotomised Premier League footballer swimming in booze? And neopolitan swordsman extraordinaire Jermain Defoe was allegedly caught leaving a nightclub late last night early this morning.
Whoever we sign, let's hope they can take their drink.
Oh yeah, I'm on Twitter.http://twitter.com/HarryHotstuff The Pope doesn't bless as generously as me, eh? You lucky. lucky people.

"Just remember one thing my son - no-one is bigger than the club. The club will be here long after you go. Us supporters ain't mugs (well, not too many!). To end - if you don't want us and our club ain't big enough for you, then f*ck right off." Dannyboy
"We're very lucky in the band in that we have two visionaries, David and Nigel, they're like poets, like Shelley and Byron.

I am no longer connected with the club on a daily basis, but i'm delighted with every win and sad about every defeat." Steve Perryman
"Any player coming to Spurs, whether he's a big signing or just a ground staff boy, must be dedicated to the game and to the club. He must never be satisfied with his last performance, and he must hate losing." Bill Nicholson
"Bill did so much for his beloved Spurs that we must never let his legacy fade. He must be our inspiration as we strive to ensure that a new era dawns here at White Hart Lane." Daniel Levy
" 'Oh dear, it's f*cked', is what I've always taken it to mean. I do have O-level Latin. Now they've stuck up a literal translation, in large letters: 'To dare is to do.' The words just stand there, on their own, not making much sense." Hunter Davies
"When Gazza came to the Spurs training ground for the first time got the ball, went round 8 players as if they were not there and then smashed the ball into the net.

I must pay tribute to Steve Coppell, one of the games few really honest men.
Well done him.
Reply to onedavemackay:
Well said.
Dunno if this has been done to death, but the reason why Bentley can't get a run out is to do with the contract with Blackburn...
...we only paid £5m up front, with more based on appearances... if he plays 2 more games, we have to stump up another large wedge of cash, which the club don't want to do, if they can possibly avoid it...
Hence, he's only available on the bench for "emergencies"...
Which leads to two conclusions:
a) he's off for sure, this Summer (tell me something I didn't know, etc, etc...)
b) any piece of chip-wrap that tries to claim that we lost millions selling a £15m player is talking utter sh*te... Credit crunch or no credit crunch, even Comolli could wangle £5m for Bentley, so let's hope Harry will be able to do substantially better...
You know it makes sense: COYS!

Well I was unaware of that, so thanks from me
Reply to onedavemackay:
Definitely thought it was a shame to see him go. In my few years following English football he always seemed a class act and I was disappointed to see them miss out on the playoff final this year.
You've joined the Twitter revolution? I'm disappointed in you sir... I always hoped you of all people would ignore it until it went away.
any leaked pics of the new kit yet?
Reply to The Philanthropist:
I am very much reserving judgement.
I gave Faceberk a go and frankly hearing that Phil had a hangover, that Babs's fibroids had calmed down and Tony has been streaming dog porn since Sunday just got me very depressed.
Jon Ronson trying to get on Kevin Spacey's guest list and Graham Linehan trying to find a decent online DVD renter may well be equally tedious to some, but I'm enjoying the novelty so far.
That said Paul Daniels is a mixed blessing.

k, cheers
The next seasons kit will be very much like this seasons, except for the away kit which is going to be red.. I've read it somewhere some weeks ago.. About logos on the shirts, it will still be Mansion hence we still have 2 more years with them as a sponsor.. Same with Puma, there we have 3 years left.. Both these sponsorcontracts were extended some week ago
Reply to SweSpur:
I do not care about the new kit as long as we get rid of some of the Joeys we had playing in the old one.

You've only been on Twitter one day and it's already broken.

Unfortunately old girl, this site is less reliable than Mido's personal fitness trainer.
They iirc, ran pics of the new England shirt which had 'Dutch Orange' stripes on.
Maybe they've struck oil this time.
I see, they all come crawling out the woodwork now...
Reply to SweSpur:
Did you say red?????? Fuck that! I can't ever picture us in red - away kit is usually yellow or blue (forgetting the god awful pony purple stripe shirt!!!) If thats the case, I think there will be a rush on home shirts.........and whats the news on the 3rd kit - are there any obscure 1890s colour combos that haven't been wheeled out?
I in turn I was a Metalwork mentalist...
Reply to HarryHotspur:
I too have indulged in Linehan 's tweets. I thanked him for the scene in Father Ted where Ted and Dougal try to fix the dent in the car and end up totalling it. Have used it to inform the wife she is paying too much attention to the cleaning etc. "Remember Father Ted's car dear"
Got a bit bored with twitter after that.

Reply to frontwheel:
I always thought the verb for soup should be 'drink' rather than 'eat'...
I took ill about march last year,a sense of torpor and listlessness affected every stride,couldn't care less about my job and the results showed.I was being treated by a spanish doctor who recommended a course of treatment the bentleyade didn't do much,the pavyluchanadin worked in fits and starts and the calomine modric seemed to help.the sleeping sickness carried on through the auntumn until the spanish doctor was struck of and an english quack was called in to sort me out.Hopes were raised as I recovered my strength particularly with strong doses of palkaselzerious but other linements-clove of defoe and Poly Syllabic Bollocksteroids failed to revive me,and thus I crawl piteously towards the summer in pretty much the same state I was in this time last year,barely able to raise the interest in my surroundings.
So tell me,kind sirs,what medication could you prescribe to aid my recovery from this appalling somnambulance,cos christ i don't know about you but its bloody boring being in this state.

So...it appears that in the 1890's there was only 1 team in red in North London
D'oh...
I liked this bit from Pav about spending some time in the stiffs:
"I understand perfectly that no one is to blame for the current situation except me and I only started to work harder."
Imagine: no whining; no 'play me or sell me'
Refreshing.

Reply to CMT:
For that matter, back then, weren't we the ONLY team in North London????
Think red has too many negative associations for me........ How long can they keep dredging for obscure ancient designs? We've now had the halved shirts, brown, yellow, and blue away kits - from the looks of the links there are no more colours left!!!
So what should we wear as our next away kit? ideas on the back of a postcard.......

Very disappointed in sky sports reporting. They should listen again to what Harry ACTUALLY said and then re-publish the article.
That would be triffic

Reply to DesertSpur:
Yep red, they said it has a psychological effect on the opponents and therefore we shall use red colours away from home next season.. Spurs actually had red shirts long time ago.. COYS!
