When I used to carry out consultancy work for London Underground, I did a lot of work around Chigwell when Spurs used to train up there. One often used to see the players arriving for training. Nouradine Naibet in his red LHD Ferrari, wouldn't be allowed now as it was red, the tall lanky black centre back, can't remember his name - Anthony Garner? Gardiner?, dwarfed by his Hummer, one could only see a little head and pair of eyes trying to peep over the steering wheel, and frequently, believe it or not, a certain John Terry dropping off one of our top strikers at the time. I won't mention his name in case his wife/friends of his wife reads this, because I guess the only reason he was with John Terry was if the two of them had been out pussy hunting the previous night. And no, it wasn't Teddy or JD. Afraid I'm in the DRC now, good old blighty and the Spurs Training Ground is a long way, approximately 10 weeks. Might make it in time for the summer transfer window.
BREAKING NEWS Lucas Moura has completed his medical at Tottenham. There have been no problems and he is expected at the training ground shortly to finalise paperwork and complete his move from Paris St-Germain. Question is, where did he have his medical if not at the training centre?
to Michi Batty. He would rather go on loan overseas to a club playing EL football, than risk making a contribution to a Chelsky PL rival that could result in bettering Chelsky in the PL/CL or costing a CL slot next season.
Moura Watch "I’m sad, because he’s a good friend, he’s a quality player who was rarely used. I think it’s very unfair" - Neymar, seemingly oblivious to the fact he's the main reason why Moura was rarely used In other news, there's suggestions that Shayon Harrison is going to be loaned to Southend
I reckon Neymar’s going to be saying that about a lot of his team mates, whilst he remains at the club.
Ironically it's a similar reason why we struggle to sign a quality back-up striker. No striker in the world is going to make the starting line up in front of Harry Kane.
Out of the Blue Deadline Day Rumour Watch Lamela to join Southampton on loan ...won't that get in the way of Inter signing him for the sixth straight transfer window?
Repeatedly said that no-one wants to be back up striker to Kane but other clubs manage to have 1001 strikers in their squad.
I can only see us picking up a younger player from the lower leagues or a last minute discard such as Pastore from PSG or Gomes from Barcelona, who should want football before any World Cup involvement. That said, with us playing United tonight, my money's frmly on our business being done if Lucas Moura signs.
I know he’s not every ones cuppa tea, but surely we can accommodate 5 players in the “3” between now and the end of the season?! Dele Son Eriksen Lamela Moura Why does it always feel like 1 step forward, two steps back? Lamela is a decent squad player who we can’t replace in this window.
Isco's coming......Sorry, sorry. I couldn't stop myself. Maybe, someone is coming in and we need the foreign player spot? **** it. Now, I'm hopeful again......
It ain't Ozil. He's re-signed for £350k per week. Jeez, that's a lot of dosh considering that he picks the weeks when he turns up.
That is how much it costs to "match the ambition" of a player who wants to have an EL winners medal (Levy take note) .
Kane isn't any striker, he is the best in the world at the moment. In any other Prem side a top striker would probably fancy their chances to prove themselves. Against Kane no.
