Chimbonda Vendido!
Monday, 07 July 08, 05:11 AM
Your list of good deeds in the Lilywhite shirt stands, but the good was often soured by infuriating runs that caused little but leaving you hugely out of position. I won't bang on, you know when and why it all came undone.
Valencia bless'em are apparenly stumping up the £8 million that will allow Hutton to take over. The Spaniards are said to be, and I make no apoplogy for using accountancy jargon here... 'up to their knickers in debt', yet this morning this story breaks in the British press as does another in the Spanish that David Villa is likely to be offered a monster new contract to keep him there.
So a tremendous bitta business by Levy & Co. if this goes through. There's no two ways about it. Chimbonda arrived as a Premier League Dream Team player. He will leave thanked for much of his work at The Lane but will the need to re~invent himself as a more disciplined force if he is to do more than survive. For that lolly they'll be expecting more than hit and miss far post headers.

Who's This David Albelda Chap, Then?
Sunday, 06 July 08, 02:55 AM
*Why did I ever go to Chris De Burgh's barber?*
You can smell it... and this guy positively honks.
Thankfuly not Brut 33 on this occasion. No, nothing beats the great smell of... experience.
Valencian veteran, an established great defensive midfielder with over 50 caps for Spain. Did I say Spain? Cue The Ramos Factor, then.
"I have had a good relationship with David for many years as I coached his brother at Alcoyano and at Levante...I asked him about his contractual situation because if he was leaving for free then I would be interested.” That was JR on the case back in February.
Albelda's response, by the by, was, "Tottenham coach Juande Ramos called me on the telephone and was interested in my situation, but at no time did he make any specific offer to go there."
If we're looking for a midfield general there would be no better man. As hard as a hockey ball, blessed with brains as well as brawn.Cheatski were said to sniffing, but let's just hope that's just the start of a summer cold that escalates into full blown pneumonia.

A Keeper And A Striker On The Cards
Saturday, 07 June 08, 02:40 AM
One hinted improvement or addition at least is said to be one Emiliano Viviano. Who he? The 22 year old, 6'5", Seria B, Brescia Calcio and Italian U21 goalie. Our scouts have watched him before and we are now watching him some more according to Spur Odious's Archibald. We want WHL a barrel roll free zone.
And here's a completely unsubstantiated comment from 'spursmanintheknow' that may stand to cause much delight to Tottenhamnites across the www, posted on the Setanta News site of all places,
" ...the big name signing that has been doing the rounds on the Internet Eto'o, Milito, Van der Vaart, Huntalaar (sic) are all false, i can tell you for fact it will be David Villa the deal was done last week when Comolli was in Spain and will be announced when Spain are out of the Euros. Another deal expected to take place early next week is Diarra from portsmouth for 9mil. kaboul will be going to Pompey for 5mil and Tainio will link up with Martin Jol at Hamburg for 2mil..... I will let you know any more news from inside the club as soon as I heard (sic) anything concrete.... p.s Spurs fans who havent seen Modric play before make you watch croatia this summer, you're in for a treat."
Interesting...
