Tottenham in the Summer Transfer window - 2013 edition!

Funny that. Everyones claiming Chelsea and City will be a bigger threat because they have changed their managers...

 

Wasn't me but i'll take the credit, wise words.

 

Its bog standard and means literally nothing at all.

 

The difference being they didn't have the best manager in the league before

They have significantly improved on last year's managers though, your club have done the reverse.

 

Feel free, we're all entitled to our opinions.

He was voted for as the best keeper last season though by some guys who know a little more than you or I.

 

.

 

He said ta change of manager can have an effect.

Nothing about improving managers.

When was th last time a club as wekll run as United changed its manager. the rest are circus'. Madrid, chelsea, City....

Barcelona changed their manager and romped La Liga. CL didnt work out so well but cant blame the manager for that really.

 

Speaking of barcelona. Tito is leaving.

 

Given his health problems, I can't say that I'm surprised. Big vacancy.
Some random nobody is due to take over, apparently. Odd.

 

just a reminder... "Tottenham in the Summer Transfer Window - 2013 edition"

 

if Brendan Rodgers or Steve Clarke took over at Barca how does everyone think they would get on next season? Better or worse?

 

Still win the title more than likely.

AVB is a name already linked to the job

 

Better or worse was the question.
Oh, never mind.

 

Better.

Tito was no manager.

 

Lol

 

Yep, fair point. Stick to the topic from now on, please. Plenty of threads around for other stuff.

 

Sky sports transfer centre is stating that Benteke has withdrawn his transfer request and has signed a contract extension with Villa.

FFS.

Edit: and now it's official on AV's website.

That was some decision change

 

No bid from us, by all accounts, so it appears that Benteke might have been pulling a Rooney.

 

apparently we had until yesterday or today to meet their valuation, as they wanted to get on with their preseason. I heard we were looking to pay more like 18-20 upfront, and not the 25 they wanted. Either no bid has gone in and it was all total bullshit, or Villa have stuck 2 fingers up to DL's negotiation tactics and stuck to their word.

Fair play to Villa if that's the case. They've done well to keep Benteke, especially after handing in a transfer request.

who the hell are we going to sign?

Seriously, I suggested that Bale might end up becoming a striker, and I can seriously see it happening. Eriksen in to replace Bale, and I wouldn't be too upset.
This striker situation is horrendous. I'm absolutely sick of it. No doubt tomorrow the headlines will be "spurs in for Damiao"
