For the record I'm not saying we should definitely sign Saha, but if he's on a free then I don't see where the harm is in bringing him (or someone similar) in just as insurance more than anything else.

I'd rather take the wages Saha would demand and give it to Bale
 
Fiorentina offered £10m for Gomez but Bayern want £15m according to beeb gossip. We should be sniffing around that. I'm not a massive fan of Gomez but i would happily take him for that price.

Yup, absolute steal, he's a very consistent goalscorer.
 
Gomez for £15m would be a great bit of business.

Someone like him could probably suit our style. If AVB is indeed looking to go 4-3-3, then a potential front three of Villa, Gomez, Bale would be electric.
 
Villa + Gomez for the price now being quoted for Negredo is a no brainer as far as i'm concerned.
LEVY!

ooops, i mean:

BALDY!

Edit - should point out that 'Baldy' is Baldini and not Levy's hair state

That's actually crazy when you look it at like that. Both are easily better than Negredo (though don't get me wrong, I'd have Negredo at Spurs in a heartbeat too) and yet their combined values match what Sevilla are asking for him.

If Negredo goes to City then the wages might not be too dissimilar either
 
I saw Huddelestone rumored to Sunderland for 5 million. I wouldn't sell him for less than 10, if that, because he really does add another dimension to the squad as it stands. There's no one with his range of passing. Even though he hardly played last year, you'd have to chalk up the Man City win to his influence. Played appropriately all year, he could mean some key points--worth considerably more than 5 million.

The downside is he's slow, and shouldn't be used against the fastest and most aggressive midfields (like Chelsea). But against most, especially now that it seems he'll be flanked by some combination of Sandro, Dembélé and Paulinho, he could be just what we need to unlock defenses, even more so since the only other playmaker, Carroll, probably won't see too much action, and the other player who can get Bale into open space (Beni) is probably on his way. Unfortunately.

Well written blog on Hudd here, his pros, cons and why he hasn't quite made it: http://tottenhamonmymind.wordpress.com/2013/07/04/tom-huddlestone-the-boy-who-wouldnt-grow-up/
 
How come our transfers always take so long??!

It's all well and good advocating getting rid of all our strikers but are there really better out there we have a realistic chance of getting. There aren't loads of good strikers out there for under £20 million waiting to be snapped up!
I would definitely keep Defoe and give Adebayor one more season to prove himself.

The problem is he won't prove himself,just wander about and take his money J.D. is the better bet,if we keep one of them
 
News concerning two ex-youngsters of ours. Calum Butcher and Kudos Ouenuga, who were both released by the club a few years ago, and drifted into non-league with Hayes and Yeading, have both earned decent contracts at Dundee United.

I remember getting slaughtered on the old 606 for suggesting Butcher had a bright future. He was a good defender at Spurs with an obvious footballing brain. At times he looked one of the best players we had at that time. Pleased to see him get a 2 year deal.

Oyenuga has got himslelf a contract until 2016, never saw him making it at Spurs. It seemed to me he was never more than 5 minutes away from missing an absolute sitter. I think the last time I saw him play was away at Barnet in a pre season game 2 years ago and he was awful.

Good luck to both of them.
 
Someone I work with is a big Dundee United fan and a part-time Gooner. He won't know what to think of his side signing two ex-Spurs youth players.
It's still nice to see them getting professional contracts, though. Most of our youth players over the past decade or so seem to have vanished from the face of the Earth, so it's a step up from that.
 
Staying on the subject of former players of ours, I noticed yesterday that Mark Yeates had transferred from Watford to Bradford City. Yeates was a decent talent in his Spirs days and there were a few raised eyebrows when he was let go. In fact at one point he was Daniel Levy's favourite player. He looked good in the Watford v Spurs pre season game a year ago, but only in sporadic bursts. If he puts his mind to it, this could be a very good signing for Bradford.

There's 2 at Sutton
