It was obvious Elm wouldn't be joining Liverpool when he snubbed their scouts and didn't sound exactly apologetic about it... http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896...for-them-rasmus-elm-not-worried-after-missing Reports in Sweden say we signed him, certainly their sporting paper Expressen said a deal had been reached, and it did seem to reach the Dutch press (apologies for truly terrible translation) http://www.soccernews.nl/news/140373/Rasmus_Elm_in_zomer_2012_naar_Tottenham_Hotspur ...but if the deal was sorted, wouldn't he have arrived by now? At the very least, AZ may be trying to hold onto him until the Euros to increase his fee - although, like Vertonghen, he's only got a year left on his contract.
Sorry hbic, I'm not really interested in Liverpools attempts, or ours tbh, so whatever was obvious can quite happily bypass me. I've already said the main thing was him waiting till after the Euros. Look on the bright side, it'll give everyone including you a chance to have a good look at him for the first time.
Come on Levy - don't do it again! http://www.givemefootball.com/premier-league/vertonghen-casts-doubt-over-spurs-move If we miss out for £2m I don't think I'll be the only one who's more than a little peeved...

Some news of him at last..... Have asked this several times now but does anyone know how Uvini has done during the loan period? The news has hardly been flowing on his performances but with his list of Brazil u21 credits there has to be a possibility that he could have a long term future with us.
Ceballos is probably going to be NexGen again next season, Falque is...errm...well if he couldn't get a game when on loan at Southampton last season... It's been suggested that we would make a permanent move for him if he made Brazil's Olympic squad, and he did make the initial 52-man squad - although I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't make the cut when they announce the final 23 man squad in July, given the likes of Luiz, Juan, Luisao and Thiago Silva are among the other centre backs in the longlist. You're not interested in Liverpool being considerably snubbed by a player we've been linked to since November...nor are you aware Eredivisie is on ESPN?
You nor anyone else could possibly have the time to be an expert on every league in Europe, you wouldn't know him if he passed you in the street. Btw, you've already been put right on why Falque didn't get games at Soton by someone who knows why, only a few weeks ago too, if your memory is that bad its amazing you can recall all this fine detail on players around Europe....me and my friend Wiki eh! What else could explain the length of time it takes you to answer.
Yeah, I saw that. If you read the story, it doesn't really say anything new. I hope it's correct, and that Levy doesn't let yet another top target slide through our fingers!
the guardian printed something at about 5pm yesterday where the headline looked like there had been further progress made (almost a done deal), but that wasn't the case. Then last night, all those "ITK's" on twitter started saying that the deal had been sorted and the only snag was how much we were paying up front. but they seem to be retracting their statements now. But we're getting linked with Olsson now. Hopefully that's in addition to Vert, not instead of. pay the money levy and get it ****ing sorted.
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11670/7777224/ hopefully that's a clever hint from him to levy which basically says: "i'm bored of this, sort out the money as I want to play for you. If you don't I'm happy to go to your rivals, as it'll be your fault.
Levy has to step up. no market del boy tactics. A player of this quality who actually wants to come to us without Champs league and mediocre wage structure is a god send. At 12 million , one year left on the contract he is still cheap . With's Levy's track record this is bound to be another near miss. Back to bargain basement.
ssn's info bar says: "hazard to decide future with man city, man united and chelsea after agreeing personal terms with all 3." his decision is going to be down to which club he feels he'll get most game time at. - well that's the biggest load of bullshit this year, otherwise he'd be signing for us! In other news, mike wedderburn from SSN just pronounced his name as "id-in err-zard". really thought it was ede-un Haz-urd. before I make any more of a fool of myself, could someone please tell me how to pronounce Damiao? or perhaps "Adam Smith" for that matter.
