Villa In For The £6 Million Plus Spurs Defender

I think he has potential but his comments means he is on his way out. One we may regret

After his supposed comments about refusing to go to Sunderland, good riddance I say. The guy has an ego the size of a small planet - his leaving gift should be a video of some of his howlers. He makes Pascal seem like a perfectly nice chap.

I say we could still do a lot worse than play him as a DM? Still, I know nothing. I presume the £23 mill means he's worth about £8m according to the figures being bandied about from up north...

You guys read about the Sunderland bid?

If so, im not so happy to lett steed go. He as a winger is a good thing. He is a very strong player, and hes dribling is decent. BUT the lad dont know how to shoot. The last matches this season he looked very sharp!

BUT if we let this lad go i hope we do sign both capel and Bentley.

FOr me it looks like we dont going to sign a awesome DM. We surly need one....

And if both berba and keane leaves, i really hope Ramos knows two new strikers. Im must say im a bit worried over the loss of those two..

What do you guys think?

He's practically the same as Dawson in defensive duties and far better with the ball and passing and also has a somewhat decent shot that can be worked on. He's also miles better than Rocha and Gardner. So why is he the first to go?
Any why the HELL are we selling Malbranque to Sunderland and keeping Jenas when Malbranque is a much better player technically and much more intelligent and works just as hard? That's one I'm very unhappy with. If he's selling Steem for something like 7-8m and replacing him by someone like Capel, OK then but I still don't figure why we prefer to keep a crappy over-rated player like Jenas who's only good against Derby and Arsenal reserves - maybe, he's being reserved for the Stoke and Hull games next year, with Modric then having a rest...

I'm happy to see the back of Kaboul- £6m?! Bite thier hands off. He's worse than desperate; I nearly shit myself when he came on in the cup final.

He's worth £7m, Harry's had enough touches off us lately, £7m for defoe is a joke.
Whatever happens were screwed, if we let Keano and berbs go then everything weve done over the last few years will vanish, Dos santos will not handle a full season in the premer league playing week in week out, he's a puppy a very good one but a puppy.
the whole team will have changed from last season, we'll be lucky to finish top 10, not having a go just being honest, pompeys squad and first 11 will be stronger than ours if we lose our 2 crown jewels, and lose them to the very teams were trying to catch then our board really can't expect Ramos to work miracles, dont get excited lads, we aren't gonna challenge the top 4, maybe the gypos but the other 3 are way to strong.
rAMOS LOOKS LIKE HE'S SHAPING THE SQUAD TO PLAY
4---2----3-----1 BASICLY 2 HOLDING MIDFEILDERS, WIDTH COMING FROM FULLBACKS, HOLDING MIDFEILDER STEPPING INTO THE ATTACKING FULLBACKS POSITION WHEN NEEDED, HE SHOULD PLAY KABOUL AS A HOLDING MIDFEILDER, THATS WHERE HE PLAYS FOR FRANCE.

Jesus mate, it took me a while to string together your poor sentences in to something understandable. You must be a Liverpool fan

stokey yid,

You've been at the yucatan too long mate. You're forgetting a number of key points here.

1. Pompey are managed by redknapp, thus anything above 7th place is unachievable
2. Pompey's great signings are cast offs from other teams - how can they be stronger than spurs if their signings couldn't make our first team?
3. keane and berbs will leave for a vast amount of cash - this can be reinvested.
4. our midfield has become infinitely stronger with the capture of modric and dos santos.
5. Villa, everton, city, west ham have all failed to strenghten their teams thus far - are we to expect much improvement form them?

Chaps. Most of these things will not happen. Unless we are getting rid of about 20 players and buying 50.

I suspect if Bob and Berba are going then Juande would have already planned for it and what we are seeing now is a bit of Horse trading.

We all need to calm down, relax and see whose at the lane when the dust has settled before we accuse Juande & Dan of a lack of ambition.

That was off the back of a comment recently made by the Blackburn chairman. Negotiations are on-going

Help I keep waking up from a nightmare

Portsmouth 1 Spurs 0 (Defoe) Liverpool 1 Spurs 0 (Keane) ManU 1 Spurs 0 (Bertatov)
Sunderland 1 Spurs 0 (Bent)

Spurs 10th ( Chelsea,ManU,Liverpool) buy Bale Modric, Dos Santo's

Can someone tell me that this is not going to happen. Worried of North London

So Harry what happened to the seeing Bentley having a medical!!!!!!! We seem to be further away from signing him than ever.
I don't know why we bother to ever consider becoming a top 4 side when we end up selling our best players. Last season we scored over 100 goals. We do not need to sell any strikers and we have Pekhart coming through the ranks. They are on long term contracts, so make them stick to it. We have strengthened midfield and Modric will be a star. Lets sell some of the dross and we all know who they are to get our wingers and a holding midfielder and a good centre half and lets do it sooner rather than later even if it costs a bit more and get them integrated in the preseason Ramos set up so that we can start against Middlesborough with all guns blazing instead of the whimper we started last season COYS

The medical took place of course and it is still my belief that the transfer will take place. There's usually less to these things than meets the eye. This is an exception. I would call for calm on Bentley. With so many things to be factored in it would've been a miracle to see him holding up the shirt last week. By so many things I refer to their current goalie, our ex, Ar5ena1's 20% and that prat Ince of course. Stubborn little fucker, which is why he was so good at fighting on the terraces before his 'footy' career took off.

See above. Very much ongoing. Half and more of this BID REJECTED hoo ha is Incey trying to drum up business.

Let him.

Sorry about the grammer chaps, was on my moblie.
Pompey's may have cast offs, but they are bloody good cast offs.
JD has scored in nearly every games he's played for pompey, Crouch is slow but a decent enough player, Diara, Kranjar, and Mumba,(spelling,lol) is also decent, plus Harry's tapping up that mini me gooner at chelscum.SWP,
Everton, villa dont really need to improve, there stability will see them in top 7.

Don't think for a minute just because were Tottenham hotspur that we will finish top 6, there seems no one to tie all our players together and that is with Berbs and Robbie still with us.
Robbie was the one last season that stood up and bollocked the lads when they needed it, when he goes, we are without doubt FCUKED.
Ramos has been told by the board to say were a plc and we have to balance the books, he may even understand it, but what it says to me is that were having to sell the crown jewels for £45m and your only getting half that to replace them.
I truely hope that i am wrong but i just can't see it for the life of me, whats the point in signing a new midfield without the 2 top boys where it matters in the premer league.
Teams will over run us with agressive play, they will sit and smash our small midfield to shit.

it's a comment designed to make Blackburn think we have no cash for bentley and that they should accept our offer or face having disgruntled bentley sitting on bench next year.

in addition, it comes in light of an offer from man united on berbatov. presumably this is a good offer and worth it in levy/ramos' eyes, therefore they're softening us fans in advance.

ramos came to the club under strong promises from the board. if the club suddenly pull the rug from under him he would be sorely p*ssed off, however, as it is, he seems rather content with everything.

wait until the beginning of the season to see what shape we're in.

absolutely no need to panick just yet.

Please remember old boy that we now have a back four as strong as 'no more nails', our midfield is undeniably improved and even if we lose our 'crown jewels' we've still got Benty and Pekhart. Add one world class striker a DM and to be perfectly honest no matter what JR has come out and said today - we will be challenging.....Honestly - we Yids don't arf know how to get our knickers in a twist in the silly season.
Harry, I have no bad feelings towards Younes and wish him luck where ever he ends up - I just hope for his sake his new manager realises he's not a defender!

I think our position on the bentley transfer could have been significantly improved by this one. Friedel wants to go and we don't need Robbo. CASH & ROBBO FOR BENTLEY anyone???

Stokey,

An English degree you may never earn, but you I award you a 2:1 in Common Sense from the University of Life.

This is my primary concern, that other teams are quietly building away and eating on the march we stole on them two and three seasons ago. We're not the shoe in for fifth anymore, and to deride Arthur Daley Redknapp for assembling an army of cast offs is extremely short sighted. He gets performances out of his rabble, and you can't fault him as a manager. I had my fingers crossed for him on the England vacancy, if we're fessing up.

I'm as nervous as the rest of you, but I am confident Berbatov and Keane aren't both leaving in the same close season. To the "we're just in it to make money" folk, whilst that's partially true, you don't need to go much further than Biz 101 to know that you don't spunk all your assets at once, and then predictably downturn, and expect to be attractive to investors/players this time next year.

GotThem,

Our defence is injury prone, and our midfield is fairly lightweight and with 50-75% of them set to adjust to the PL for the first time.

Villa fan in peace!

I think the comments about your midfield been lightweight and been bullied are gonna be true. I can't see either of your new signings to good enough initially to be relied upon. And if you do loose your front two (Which I hope you don't!) I don't see how you will do anything but struggle. The fact you score a fair few is the no1 reason you've done well the last few years etc!

Also on the Bentley front Villa's bid was £15m so if its £17m they want I would have thought we will re-bid £18-20m for Bentley & Friedel.

He'll be our unless he's more interested in partying & shopping in London than playing football - in which case you can have him.

Me for one would rather see Berb sold for £4.50 down Brick Lane than sold to those bloody monkeys up north. As for Bentley im not convinced that he is a superstar (although if he does sign I'll tell everyone he is). But as for the cheese eating, garlic stinking war dodger Kaboul he can FUCK RIGHT OFF. Nobody but nobody slates general Ramos. He says he needs an arm round his shoulder.... what he needs is a kick up the arse. the bloke is a wanker. UP THE FUCKING SPURS!!!!

P.S. Probably wouldnt let anyone under 10 read this. So if you are, "do your bleeding homework"

Nunchucks,
Your correct about the English degree, lol and I will gladly accept your 2:1 thx.
Rednapp for all his wheeling and dealing relised something years ago, in todays premier league there is no need to build for the future.
Club's only have to stay in the league to gain the financial wealth to last them until next season and then they start over again as best they can.
What's getting me is Levy and the board having a go at MJ last year for saying excactly what Ramos said yesterday, now i know he's trying to take the heat off us as a club and our players, but why sell Keane to liverpool, it just doesn't make sense to me.
I can understand Berbs wanting to go as he has always said he'd give it 2 season's which is fair enough.
But to strenghten liverpool as well is beyond reason, unless we swapped him for Kuyt plus £10m I just give up.
Even if we sign younger players like Huntlear( Arshavin is nearly 2there not the finished article, were now saying to the Modric's of this world that we can't keep our players, so in turn why join us, other clubs pay better.
Mcmuffin,
Blackburn and especialy Ince are no mugs, they have a player that want's out.
They have no asperation's to win the league or get close to CL places like we do, they have 2 clubs who want Bently, all they have to do is SIT until we cough up the silly money, they know we have money and Ince probably doesn't care if Bently feel's hard done by, Ince is that arrogant he'd keep an unhappy player because they don't spend much so are not desperate for the money.

Madladdy,
To be fair to you mate, Bently is coming our way, whatever you bid.
He comes from Chesunt, and has been spotted by every bugger in and around Loughton/Buckhurst hill, probably eyeing up all the orange birds we got down here.
Really hope you hang on to Barry just to show fatboybenetiz that he can't operate the way he has been, Fcuk the goatie wearing

Not seen that quote - seems like a BRAND new one. Well tbh I don't think Bentley is worth anything like £17m. Although if he turned out to be as good as Young has I wouldn't mind!

I think we may just be saying this so we're not drawn into a bidding war. I can see either club matching an accepted bid from the other - as long as its not too ridiculous a fee etc.

crazygazza: Nice! No I'm not 10 - although the last time I called someone a 'prick' I probably was... well done.. Really!

Kaboul is a total liability with zero intelligence and anyone suggesting Malbranque is a better player than Jenas is just as thick!!!!!

There has been substantial speculation in respect of the futures of Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane, including press comment from both Sir Alex Ferguson and Rafa Benitez. In response our Chairman, Daniel Levy has made the following statement:

"Today's public comments by Manchester United's manager, announcing that he has made an offer for Dimitar and is confident that the deal will go through with time working in their favour, is a blatant example of sheer arrogance and interference with one of our players. It is also probably one of the worst offences by any manager in the Premier League to date and is unbelievably hypocritical given his recent comments in respect of Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid.

"This comes after a series of events, dating back to last summer, which have shown Manchester United to be in breach of Premier League (PL) rules. As a result, we have today made an official complaint to the PL about the conduct of Manchester United. Benitez made similar comments in respect of Robbie recently and we made an official complaint to the PL about the conduct of Liverpool earlier this week.

"The behaviour of both clubs has been disgraceful. We told both clubs very early on that we had no interest in selling Robbie or Dimitar, respectively, and that they should refrain from pursuing the player. Both clubs arrogantly chose to ignore this request and we now have evidence that both clubs have systematically been working to prise the players away from us, outside of PL rules of conduct.

"Our subsequent position has been severely compromised by both clubs making their intentions widely known and indeed making contact with the players and their agents, without the Club's permission.

"I have absolutely no wish to sell either player and to date we have not accepted any offer for either. However, when a player's head is turned and their commitment is absent, particularly when they occupy key positions such as that of striker, they become a nega

negative influence in a team dressing room in which they were once a positive addition and influence. This is the situation we now have on our hands, with both Dimitar and Robbie having made it clear that they wish to leave for Manchester Utd and Liverpool respectively.

"Irrespective of the outcome and futures of Robbie and Dimitar, we are continuing to seek to bring in quality, talented players for the future, who want to play in a Spurs shirt."


From the Spurs website...It doesnt look good for us...sounds like their both packing there bags and gomne all be it without the blessing of the club...I did hear on the great vine a day ago the robbie was kicking up a stink and sounds like this is the case....very sad day if he it!! The scousers arent that far ahead of us if if they both stay

See Levy's announcement RE Berba and Keano on Spurs website - gutted - so much for Keano being a clubman!

well that blows that.

there will be others, we have just got to find them in the next three weeks

at least we'll have tons of lovely lolly to spend. get arshavin, get him now

KABOUL SHOULD BE KEPTHE IS ONLY A KID INA MANS POSITION AND IF I HAD CONCRETE LEGS WITH GLOVES BEHIND ME I WOULD PLAY SHITE. WE SHOULD WAIT FOR OUR ASYLEM SEEKER GOMES IS IN GOALS BEFORE WE SELL ANYONE .IAM GLAD RAMOS IS NOT MY PARTNER IF YOU GET ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HIM YOUR GONE .THE LIST IS GROWING BENT ORDERA SANDWICH IN THE HOTEL ROOM HE IS GOT ONE FOOT OUT ROBBIES STROPPY AT CITY HE ON THE WAY BERBYS HANDS ON HIPS HES GOING CHIMBONDA KABOUL EATING A BURGER IN THE SUN INSTEAD OF BABY FOOD HES GOING AND TOM HUDDS IS GOING INTO A SLIM TARZEN BY THE LOOK OF THE PICKS WE LOOK AS FITTER THAN I HAVE EVER SEEN THEM.

big. time. shame.

BOYC

To Barca and Celtic, preferably.

Well that's fucked things up Bigtime
Bad news indeed!

That statement is (for me anyway) a clear message both players will not be here come Sep 1st and Levy is covering himself from any future backlash he faces from the fans over their departure.

We will have our work cut out to replace BOTH of them this summer, that's for sure

Wish we'd have kept hold of Defoe now!

a bet a certain Mr Bent is rubbing his hands together with glee

all by myself, maybe i should get a life

What a fantastic way to welcome Mr Modric to the club. Cheers Robbie and Dimitar.

Well, I reckon Berbatov was always off but the situation regarding Keane is a right kick in the teeth, especially after his comments he could finish his career with us. If they go, they go. I'm sure Ramos and Levy have a couple of massive signings up their sleeves still.
Still a sad day though. I hope both the scouse gits and manure get stung by the EPL for their disgraceful behaviour, not that it really matters now.

coys - now is the time to stand up and be counted. Every cloud blah blah

That sucks about both your strikers but I have to say Kudos to your chairman for coming out with such strong words. Unless the PL or FA do something (anything!) to stop the 'top 4' poaching the chasing packs best players its going to be nigh on impossibly to break.

Either that or a shake up of the CL and Eufa cup - its insane that 4th place in the league brings in £20m more a season than 5th place. And its the Champions League NOT the Premier League which is to blame for this disparity and lack of competition at the top of the league.

As its Man U & Liverpool can anyone actually see the FA or PL doing anything about this though.

Have to say Harry at Portsmouth is probably the worst 'mouthy' manager out there though!

HELLO FELLOW COCKERELS THIS IS DAVSPURS IAM SORRY ABOUT MY SPELLING I WILL MAKE SURE I LOOK AT MY WRITING BEFORE I SEND A MESSAGE. I LIVE NOT FAR FROM LIVERSKINT 12 MILES TO BE EXACT AND 24 FRON MANURE AND ITS HELL THE WINDOW CLEANER AND THE GARDENER ARE MANURE AND LIVERSKINT SPECKYS. AND THE CANT BELIVE SPURS ARE SELLING BERBY AND KEANE. I THINK ROBBIE IS THE BEST THING SINCE HODDLE AND I WILL BE SICK WHEN HE PUTS THAT CHEATING GETS SHIRT ON .I SAY THIS BECAUSE I NO WHATS BEAN GOING ON FOR THE PAST THREE SEASON AND WHY THERE FORM HAS BEAN PATCHEY BUT I CANT SAY IN THIS BLOG TRUST ME IT SICKENED ME WHEN THEY BEAT US 2.0 BUT NEXT YEAR THERE IS A NEW BODY TAKING OVER THE USLESS UK SPORT AND WE MAY SEE SOME NEW FACES IN THE TOP 4.DONT SELL TO UTD OR LIVERSKINT

Credit where credit is due to Levy on this one, for coming out and having the balls to put Man u and liverpool in their place!

Im not shocked about berba leaving, but Keane???? Wanker

And another thing. If Keano does go, I reckon it will be for a straight cash deal. Levy to play hard ball with both clubs, northern wankers, then go and buy 2 quality replacements. I thought Keane would be here for life. Still, he always was a moaner.....

coys

Very well done Daniel Levy. Good to have a chairman who stands up to the big four farts.

If they go they go and I'm sure whoever comes in won't be too shabby.

As I've said before our most important signing over the last 15 years has been Juande with Gus not far behind and great management produces great teams.

Sod you whinging pessimists we're going for top four.


Re pointy shouty anyone wondering if Alonso could be part of the deal ?

I have to agree with some of Madladdy's comments, specifically with regard to Daniel Levy's statement.

The Premier League have to do act against the blatant poaching of other club's players by both teams. I have no doubt that all teams have underhand ways of approaching players who are in contract at another club, but to be so vocal in the media as Benitez & Ferguson have been over the last few days is scandalous.

Lets hope that the Premier League act on this issue. If they don't we know who holds the power in the game.

Let's also hope that the Chairman and Manager have plan B & Plan C in action to bring in replacements.

Berba & Robbie, thanks for what you've done, now F*ck Off!!!

ODM I hope Alonso isn't part of any deal taking Keano to the scouse gits; if he ain't good enough for Juventus, he certainly ain't good enough for us! But I think you may be right, given the Spanish connection. I reckon we should publicly tap up Torres. 4-5-1 looks a good bet for next season or 4-2-3-1 when attacking? I'm still in shock.

If only mate.

Levys message is to say we don't want to sell, but them two-faced little shytes have stabbed us in the back and want out so when we sell them, don't be mad at me cos they will only score own goals and stab Ledley in training and they have to go blah blah blah

or as Jol would of said . . .yesh, well No but you shee this Robbie and Berby pretended to be my freidsch but then whilscht i was at training they we schleeping with my mischuss but no, yesh, this isch different, so we have to schay goodbye!

And no, there will be nowt punishment to either ManUre or Bin Dippers FC

If i was levy i would be straight on the phone to Barca, saying beat utd bid and berba is all yours

And they both only scored 15 goals in the league last season; we want 20+ strikers! Bent got 18 in the league at Charlton; would be interesting to see how many he would score with a full season and the likes of Modric, Jonny 2 Saints, Lennon, Bentley (?), Arshavin (?) feeding him.mmmmmmm

coys - I really must do something constructive at home now!

is there a scout in the house at all? someone fire up football manager and see who we should buy?

I know this great polish striker...

im glad levy has come out and spoke his mind, bit disapointed in keane expected better, but at the end of the day both players are replaceble, almost certain kanote will return, adraino anybody?!!

Yeah he scored a great goal for Southampton once

These would appear to be the sections of the Premier League Rules that the northern tw*ts are contravening.

K.3. Any Club which by itself, by any of its Officials, by any of its Players, by its Agent, by any other Person
on its behalf or by any other means whatsoever makes an approach either directly or indirectly to a
Contract Player except as permitted by either Rule K.1.2 or Rule K.2 shall be in breach of these Rules
and may be dealt with under the provisions of Section R.

k.8. A statement made publicly by or on behalf of a Club expressing interest in acquiring the registration
of a Contract Player or by a Contract Player expressing interest in transferring his registration to
another Club (or club) shall in either case be treated as an indirect approach for the purposes of Rules
K.3 and K.6.

Section R deals with the disciplinary procedures.

Ban them both from transfer dealings with other Premier League clubs for 12 months. Sell Berba to Barca & Keane to some other foreign club.

everyone knows that Rafa and Fergie are out of order so hats off to Levy for standing up to them.

However, he should have taken the moral high ground, just reported them, and said no more. There will be enough people in the media who will call Fergie a hypocrite so no need for Levy to sink in the pit with him and throw insults. Secondly, not sure why he had a pop at Berba and Keano suggesting they are now a negative influence. All he has done is confirmed these two have gone beyond the point of no return and have to be sold. The price for replacement strikers has just gone up as everyone now knows Spurs' are in dire need of new players.

I think that this "TOP 4" "BIG 4" "SKY 4" bollox needs to be sorted and sorted soon. All they seem able to do is bend the rules in any which way they can (beyond breaking point most of the time) in order to keep there little select group a foursome. Why does their arrogance enable them to just cherry pick from any one they feel is a threat?, I say we need to create another group, begin a pact. We need to gather the other 16 or so decent rule abiding clubs and form "THE DECENT FOLK 16" "THE HONEST REST" "THE PLAY FAIR GROUP". We should agree to never buy or sell from the monkeys in the "TOP 4" again. just where would they get their carricks or berba's. Their Wright-phillips or Joe coles. Their C***bell's or Fabregas's (it seems ars***l dont do it as much unfourtunately) Or their Barrys or Keanes???. I say good on Mr Levy for having the balls to speak up....The Lane is right behind you. Its about time we showed the rest just how big OUR football club really is!!! COYS

theshelf,

"The price for replacement strikers has just gone up as everyone now knows Spurs' are in dire need of new players"

Good point.

But i feel Levy is caught between a rock and a hard place and the statement was neccessary.

I have faith in the board and i have faith in Ramos and Gus, so watch this space.

How are liverpool actually goin to be able to afford Keane when they are already scraping together their Giros for for gareth Barry????

I would be more than happy if we stepped in and put a bid in for barry, he would balance our midfield out well

I reckon Liverpool have more money than they are letting on, Benitez is an assehole he's trying to buy players as cheap as possible and not budge on his valuations and is also trying to get top dollar for his players ( Alonso and Crouch) but Spurs and Villa really have no choice but to sell as the players have anounced their desire to move (due to being tapped up. I hope it goes badly for both players as they have shown no loyalty to their clubs, Barry and Keane are key players at their current clubs but won't be at Liverpool, think Bellamy and Crouch or even Pennant to see what could well happen to Keane.

Remembering some of the formations Juande played last season I think he likes a fairly fluid formation with players breaking from all over the park. So I think one attacker will be at least one of his options.

I agree that Alonso has gone off the boil but he is pretty useful player on his day. Might be worth a punt.

Hi Harry,

Good on your chairman for releasing that statement.

Fergie is such a hypocrite. He has no right to complain about Madrid tapping up Ronaldo when he does it so blatently himself.

The man thinks he is above the law and is a total prick!

Regarding Berba and Keane,

I think Berba is a great player and will be hard to replace but Ramos is no mug and I'm sure that he has a suitable replacement lined up.

As for Keane, please dont take this the wrong way, I've always felt he is over-rated. If the offer from Liverpool is indeed £20m then I'd bite their hand off. I'd have him in the £10m bracket at most.

We've had the same all summer at the Arse and it pisses me off. Ade's situation is bad. I can't see a way back for him and it will take a long time for us Gooners to forget his money grabbing antics if he doesn't leave.

Anyway,

Keep up the great work HH, I hope all you Spuds on here know I've grown up now!

But I bet some of you still call me a cunt! HA HA

It would seem Levy's charge is intended to secure a "tapping up" penalty fee from the northerners in addition to any fees agreed for either player. If the Red-nosed and goateed ones want to "settle out of court" so to speak, they will now have to pay over the odds. This is the best bargaining tool at Levy's disposal to extract a higher fee and force the issue. Spurs don't want this to drag on and SAF knows this (hence the "time is on our side" quote). This public move helps Spurs save face and command a higher fee while all clubs avoid protracted negotiations. Brilliant no?

Reply to Steveo:

Well that's fucked things up Bigtime
Bad news indeed!

That statement is (for me anyway) a clear message both players will not be here come Sep 1st and Levy is covering himself from any future backlash he faces from the fans over their departure.

We will have our...

I agree with you Steveo regarding the Spurs website statemnt. Levy's covering his arse and shifting any resonsiblity from him for letting both of them go.

Nothing can be done about Defoe now.

In Juande we must trust.

Harry, Is it time to change the picture on top of the page yet?

What do you want you cunt? Only kidding.

No, I'm going to run a thank you to Levy over the weekend. Quite Churchillian. Gave me an overwhelming urge to salute someone/something.

Tremendous statement. Sure there's an element of downside protection. But what we have here is a General.

The mumble on the Keane money is £18 mill but I agree W7 that even this would be well above what I too guess his market worth to be. To wit, I underline not what I think he's worth, but the price to which the market will stand. That said, we all know £18 could be £12 with all the bits and pieces sellotaped on.

I'll vent my spleen on here soon, but for now Berba's work doesn't suprise me, but that pikey no good turncoat turnip head from Tallaght needs to explain himself and do so sharpish.

HH, Alcatrazz, Out.

in all fairness i don't think keane was that much of a key player under ramos how many times was he subbed all the time with keane throw hissy fits, this is levy saying don't blame us when he goes but we will buy better to suit ramos's plans has for berba should sold him last year after his sulking only players who what to play for us please but the same will happen every year with our best players if we don't break the top four

And another thing. To all these players, who leave whatever club, saying 'I want to play Champions League football' - maybe, just maybe if you'd tried that bit harder, rather than moaning, you may have got there with your present team. To all the turn coats who don't want to play for OUR club - fuck right off; we'll be here long after you and the next bloke has gone.

Gutted, knew Berby was off but expected more from Keane. No player is bigger than THFC, have seen many decent players leave to know that, Gazza, Ruddock, Waddle, Carrick, Sulzeer Jerimiah Campbell, Paul Stewart (he was good once, honest) Klinsmann, Super Ted, etc etc, however Levy was inbetween a rock and a hard place and has played this one well.

I still have faith in the RAMALUTION, it will keep rolling on.

I am SO angry at the suggestion that these ponces would bail on us now.

'SO angry'? Ah diddums. Poor ickle 'Arry.
Let history judge me as a deluded fool.

But history might be a tad more damning in respect of these two.

Without explaination, Keane will have lost any sembelence of advantage he may have held over the artiste formerly trading as Mitka.

Poyet is a man. Levy a General. Others 'scuttle' as perhaps befits their station.

Ever since he was a young boy he's always played football,
From Auxerre up to Tottenham he's always shown real potential.
But we aint seen enough of him in fact almost f*ck all.
So please piss off to Pompey you dumb arrogant prat Kaboul.

And to think this time last year Jol had Berbatov, Keane, Defoe & Mido to choose from !!

Wonder what price you could have got that none of the above would be here a year later (albeit Keane & Berbatov are still here, just)

And can someone please tell me why the Mounty is still here, FFS

"Wonder what price you could have got that none of the above would be here a year later"

Actually, that was yet another part of General Levy's cunning strategy....he bet half a monkey on it at stupendous odds and has just wet himself with joy on his way out of Ladbrooks.

Ho hum. "Go on Darren Bent. Go on Tomáš Pekhart", I say. And "Thanks for stopping by" to the other two, followed by a "Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out".

tip of the hat to levy for saying what he did.

last season i thought levy was a tosser, this time around i feel he's redimed himself.

ramos must have something sorted if he's prepared to let both (not only the clubs, but 2 of the best leagues strikers) these guys go.

villa or santa cruz coming in? i think ramos will start playing pekhart a bit more. i dont think we have any need to worry. 6 weeks of the window left - ramos will get it sorted

Lets all have some calm a second....

fair play, first of all, to levy. we do need to make a collective stand against the top four (although it pains me to admit that a%se@al seem to conduct their business quite privately by comparison)...

in the short term both players are leaving and replacements will now be expensive. having said that, as one chap mentioned before Bent has scored plenty of premier league goals in the past.

He looked a waste of money at that price originally but he still scored a few goals in his brief appearances. Also he has shown no desire to leave thus far and we ought to respect his desire to fight for his place at the very least. With a fair crack and better service he will score goals without being as pretty as berbs and keane. lets give him a chance...

i wouldnt be surprised if the boys have actually bonded better for all of this, like a siege mentality. This has rumbled on behind the scenes for several weeks only coming into the open today- yet the lads look happy and so they should be. We are fit and ready... if we dont make top four then so be it, id rather spurs were an honest team than take chelseas money and manures attitude if thats what it takes to get up there.........

new quote from Harry down on the South coast:

"I like him, Kaboul," Redknapp told Sky Sports News. "He's a young player I tried to sign before and I'm interested, but the price has got to be right. We can't be paying over the top, you've got to pay what you consider to be a fair price for players"

I assume to be consistent, Mr Levy will be sending another letter of complaint to the Big Cheeses, or does he only do this when its the fan's favourites being tapped up and the Chairman wants to avoid any blame?

Who needs expensive, prima donna strickers, when we have: warhead woody, 7 wingers, the chosen Juan, and peevish director driving the tank?

I have no problem with Levy playing rough with the big boys as long as no one thinks we are the paragons of virtue in the cesspit of footie transfers - after all, didn't you tell us that Bentley has already had his medical even though Blackburn announce today that we haven't even had an offer accepted. I also remember that the appointment of JR was hardly done in accordance with the Queensbury rules.

Here's the Guardian take on proceedings a couple of days ago. Suggesting Man Utd were trying to avoid tapping up Berbatov and were trying to do things by the book. Cos the past nine months was just that, right? Berbatov looking sulky, fag hanging out of his mouth.

Wouldn't mind seeing if the nom de plume essexyid returns here to reveal his source when he claimed to have both the inside knowledge that Keane had expressed a desire to leave (and "validated" his post further by stating that Bentley's medical had not taken place).

Perhaps it was Rafa himself. Perhaps this guy really does have the inside line? Or it was a lucky guess. He could only be right or wrong, afterall. First Even money shot romps home.

Re: Mr Risdale,

I'm not convinced Kaboul was tapped-up; more put out to tender.


I don't get why the club don't just tell Berbs & Keane that they're not for sale, they're under contract and they'll be starting next season no matter what. That's if they are serious about not wanting to sell them. Put any chance of a move out of their head and give 'em extra training to keep their minds on the job.

Glad I cleared that one up.

Ridsdull,

Aren't you supposed to be in jail?


On an entirely different note props to Everton and Arteta for his personal delivery of a season ticket to a unsuspecting? fan.

Is it unreasonable for me then to expect Berbatov to turn up at my door in the morning then for a friendly chat and snap session over breakfast?

I'd have to let him in through the garage though, as so can fit his big head in.

I seem to remember when Farting Frank Arse'sson was tapped up by the Blue Russians young Mr Levy went spare and threatened to report them to the FA and suddenly they paid us a load of dosh and everything was Hunky Dory.

Well maybe United Dairies and the Red Criminals are going to be offered a deal : "Pay us top dollar now or we'll report you to Sir"

Whilst I'm all for bandwagon avoidance (specially when it comes to the abuse of our players) the chairman has made a comment that Keane no longer wants to play for us and is a disruptive influence. From Berbs it was expected and he has had a seasons worth of insults and snide remarks, Keano was thought as safe because of his "here till they want me" remarks. So I say the abuse is warranted, the chairman isn't going to be making such accusations if there was any chance the bridge wasn't already long burnt.

Personally my take is that we'll struggle to replace them. All the people saying we should use the money to buy Hunterlaar, Villa, Adriano and every other football manager wet dream transfer need to stop taking happy pills. If these players were available on the cheap then a) The top 4 would be poaching them and b)why would they come to us when we're not in the champions league? I know we bagsied Modric, but i think we can all agree that this was our miracle for the decade (lets hope he sticks around longer then Klinnsmann). Doom and gloom aside I reckon Bent can do a good job, he's a proven talent, with passion for the club and for some reason the majority of the spurs faithful never took to him. Well hopefully we will now and he can bag a few goals. He may not be artistic as Berbatov or as pointy/shouty as Keane, but he dosen't faff about and whinge, he just tries to put the ball in the net. I didn't see him turn around and berate a midfielder last season for a misplaced pass while he was playing, which is not praise I can lavish on either of our soon to be former star strikers.

Ardent spurs fan that I am, it goes without saying that I still remain stupidly optimistic that Ramos will lead the boys on devestating assault on the league and cups. Sod the useless cunts that don't want to play for us, after this I don't want to waste my breath on them. Instead I'll use it to cheer on the lads that are willing to try and take us places.

Fuck off you whinging cunts!

Jerd. "If these players were available on the cheap then a) The top 4 would be poaching them and b)why would they come to us when we're not in the champions league?"

Not only Modric, but also Berba, Woody, Hutton etc.

As for Bent, how could he berate anyone else the way he played and with the chances he missed ? I don't remember the crowd giving him much stick.

Sorry Jerd I should have said that Modric etc joined us even though we are not CL.

I must have another large glass of Red to help clear my head.....

Amen to that Jerd...

Come on Bent. Show us your worth now... this is his chance to bag twenty plus. A few beers down the line and im starting to think

Anyone else pissed by the way?

ODM, I was refering to the hype really. Good players that they are, Berbs, Woody and Hutton have never had anywhere near the hype of Villa, Huntelaar and chums. I'm not trying to be negative, merely realistic. Would Liverpool be courting Keane if Villa were available? Would Man Utd be willing to spunk 30mil on Berbs if Huntelaar was looking for a move to the premiership (different player i know but it serves the analogy). Personally I trust Ramos and Poyet to bring in somebody who'll do the job and who isn't a megastar tabloid gossip regular.

As for Bent getting abuse, I don't recall him getting stick from the stand , but I can't remeber many conversations with spurs fans who had much nice to say about him either. He made some poor misses, but did Berbs and Keane, the difference is they were playing regular enough to atone for their sins.

I'm just going to trust in Ramos to make it all right, no matter which players leave us for 'champions league football / massive wage upgrades'.

Some great points about Bent from jerd and a good comment from onedavemackay re Modric's not our only top drawer purchase in the last decade and vincenzo hit the proverbial nail with his "I know who I'd like in my team" excamation.

This is a copy / paste of the transcript; I'll think you'll find that the significant comment is the 'this is the situation we now have'. Not wishing to be pedantic.

'However, when a player's head is turned and their commitment is absent, particularly when they occupy key positions such as that of striker, they become a negative influence in a team dressing room in which they were once a positive addition and influence. This is the situation we now have on our hands, with both Dimitar and Robbie having made it clear that they wish to leave for Manchester Utd and Liverpool respectively.'
