Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

Errr........no.

Come on, it's not even August yet.

 

Ok, it's what I read.

 

We're waiting until he's free and comes with Green Shield Stamps. Then, on August 31 at 22.55, we pounce.

 

£3.1m on a German under 21 international sounds like good business.

It's these sort of signings we tend to have good success with, too. Young, cheap, relatively unknown... Will be worth £50m in a couple years

 

Source? Quotes?

 

Is this now some kind of delirium dream where us Spurs fans are hallucinating the signing of players? It's like we are crawling across the Sahara and can see that NEW SIGNING shimmering tantalisingly on the horizon. We crawl forward in joy and relief, only for it to vanish as we reach out to the BBC Sports pages to confirm it.

 

Toljan played virtually all of Germany's Olympic Silver medal winning campaign, though he was subbed off at half-time against Fiji.
They were 6-0 up and it was their final group game, so I suspect it wasn't because of his performance!
He was used at right-back for that tournament, though he seems to have played left-back for most of Hoffenheim's season.
He's also been used at centre-half and both wide midfield roles, which suggests he's very versatile, which Pochettino likes.

 

I don't understand Hoffenheim's stance on Toljan: he's in the last year of his contract, which according to teams on both sides of Stanley Park means his value must be at least £40m, while at the Europa League end of Seven Sisters Road that should make him worth at least £60m...

 

Basically he's the German equivalent of Dier.

Me likey.

 

Der Dier to you. And if Foyth is signed, El Dierro.

 

Apparently saints have enquiried today about Wimmer's availability.

 

What you mean 40M, OK its a deal, 1 M each year for the first 5 years, 15 M when Spurs win the League, another 10 M when we win the CL and 10 M if he's still with Spurs when he wins his 150th cap for his country That's 40 M isn't it? And by the way, I work in USD.

 

If my auntie had had bollocks she would have been my uncle.

 

Over one BILLION if you include Munich and Barca. That's more than a whole team of CR7's

 

The Sun is saying that Foyth wants to join us, and we're his preferred destination as he feels he'll have more chance of game time under Pochettino.

 

Daniel Levy was interviewed in America regarding transfers. This report gives his response:

'Obviously when you're building a stadium of this magnitude in a UK context it all has to be privately financed. There's no state help whatsoever.'.......

Unless of course you're the Dildo Brothers and in bed with Seb Coe, the Tory Government and Olympic Legacy Committee!
Think that might have been a dig from DL

 

Sounds worryingly like that could be a repeat of the bermuda triangle we blindly created when we sold Bale to Madrid and they balanced the books by selling Ozil to the scum.

Wimmer to Soton, Van Dick to an immediate rival? Sounds Spursy enough to be true.

 

Lyall Thomas has said Wimmer isn't leaving, certainly not for saints, anyway.

He also says that we've been keeping an eye on Toljan at Hoffenheim for a while. If he's signed, the plan is for KWP to be loaned.
