Posted on Friday, 6th July 2012 by Harry Hotspur
Good afternoon.
So today’s the day that a new breed of dastardly, ghostly and stealthy itks turn up to casually say, ‘As I told you on Monday, Jan Vertonghen has signed!.’ The response to this is …eh? Who is this guy? I didn’t even I know I was following/you were on this forum?!
Has he signed? Who the hell knows. All that is certain is that the collective groan from Spurs fans nearing exhaustion will be audible globally if the player makes another, ‘I dunno what’s happening interview.’
Roger ‘Daily Mail’ Morgan of Spurs Odious says that we’re asking £4.5M for Peanut. I don’t have any ethics and I sold my last moral for 50p to a blind beggar, but even I don’t think that this whole deal was right.
Peanut didn’t want to play for us, we didn’t have a spot for him and the only people that would be remotely interested in having him other than us were the mob that we bought him from. I hear the financial advisers among you telling me that this was a, ‘neat bit of business from Levy & Co.,’ but I just don’t buy it.
If our previous manager is ever pulled up for anything more than a faulty brake light or a jammed electric window my money’s on this being looked at.
Zeki Fryers is another name in the frame.
He sounds like he’s either a Greek fish & chip shop or this week’s new Joe Satriani. Either way, anyone that has ‘infuriated’ Slur Alex and bailed on the Red Devil machine is good by me. The fee has apparently gone to an independent tribunal. Providing competition for Benny can only a positive thing.
Modric? Every day or two some bright spark ‘announces’ that Real Madrid have in somehow enhanced their offer. Cash. Cash plus player. An upped cash deal. The truth of the matter – or so I am led to believe – is that an offer came in some time back for the boy with the chicken badge allergy – and due to various factors not to mention the SOB is still under contract, we have yet to let them know.
As you were.

I don’t know why I’m saying this because I know how ridiculous it sounds but we should be moving heaven and earth to secure Higuain as part of the Modric transfer. Levy can inflate his fee so our books look good, Real can play it down so they feel like they got a bargain and we get a top calls striker well beyond our financial reach.

I’m finding the reporting across various websites to be really annoying. Find any half decent player in the world (especially any Brazilian currently negotiating a deal with an existing club) ask them if they have heard of Tottenham, they reply yes, but they are happy to stay where they currently are if no offers come in and that makes for giant headlines that ‘insert player name’ has rejected moving to Spurs.
This sensational rejection from so many players is based on no offer being made, no offer being rebuffed and no actually statement of rejection other than the say-as-little-as-possible I am happy where I am party-line.
But the rumourmill ITK world is alight with such bollocks today…

The Modders to Real move will not happen if a suitable player plus cash is not agreed. They either cannot or will not pay £35 mil for him. Man U don’t have a pot to piss in, despite their apparent interest. That leaves those jammy bastads over yonder. They might offer Sturridge but I think DL will do everything to stop him going there. Vertonghen still not signed

Personally can’t see Modric going anywhere. All this wantaway stuff comes from people who, if they told me it was daytime, I’d look out the window and sure as eggs is eggs, it would be night. Predictable.
If it was going to happen, it would’ve happened last year. Chavski tapped him up with offers of mega roubles, all the chocolate he could eat and a little play with Mrs Abramovich. Then came in with a silly bid, eventually leading to a more realistic bid, but were sent packing, tail firmly between the legs. Will they be back for more humiliation? So that leaves the ‘experts’ with a problem. They all know he’s going, but where to? And what could possibly be the offer?
Until there is a real offer. I will not be buying into the reserve player, plus swizzlestick, plus Mars bar wrapper, plus toy balloon stuff. The last word from the club came last season, “He’s going nowhere.” That’ll do for me.

The last word from last season? Do you not think his refusal to sign a new contract, and his long term value diminishing won’t alter our view?
He’s going to go, of that I am certain, and good riddance. I haven’t got time for primadonna players who think they are better than our club. Especially overrated ones. It certainly doesn’t sound like the rat has had a change of heart, but I suspect the club has.
[Reply]
Gary B Reply:
July 6th, 2012 at 4:42 pm
He’s already signed a long term contract that still has 4 years left to run, we don’t need to up his wages just yet, so I wouldn’t think DL will be in any rush to pay out any more.
If he gets to the last 2 years and stalls then we can offload. If he gets to the last 2 and signs for another 4 we’ll be pretty close to where we are now.
Every player will leave every club sometime and after the Euros his value should have gone up, not down, but we are not in a Robin van Sicknote, or Theo Walksalott situation.
[Reply]
MysteriousStranger Reply:
July 6th, 2012 at 5:11 pm
Right, I take it you’ve missed my posts regarding the Webster Ruling?
Because he’ll be able to buy himself out of his contract and move wherever he likes next year if he wants to go down that road, and all we’ll be entitled will approximate to what his remaining salary is worth.
And if there ever was a candidate to invoke it, it’s Modric. He could probably arrange a loan from a rich gentleman and pay him back with handsome interest in order to earn three or four times as much elsewhere per week (at a destination of his choosing) in comparison to playing out “his long term contract” at Spurs.
£30 million plus this summer, or potentially less than a third of it next year. Still fancy running the risk?
Gary B Reply:
July 6th, 2012 at 7:56 pm
That is one scary rule. Effectively he could be in his last year. No doubt getting him to sign an extension is priority number 1 for AVB, failing that, moving him on would be option 2.
I trust the club to do the right thing on this and will still not believe any stories until a formal offer has been made, based on the rule that if I know someone likes to make things up and portray wild guesswork as fact, I don’t believe them the next time they tell me something is true, but I will search their stories for any glimpse of anything resembling a fact.

Ronnie Wolman Reply:
July 6th, 2012 at 4:49 pm
Modric is a great player yes,but is not a game changer and Silva offers many more killer passes and Modric is not in the same league as him in creativity.
In midfield he cant tackle gets pushed of the ball easily but does have talent and can pass,find space,pass etc.
Thats it.
Id take anywhere over 33mil

Ronnie Wolman Reply:
July 6th, 2012 at 11:30 pm
Yes thats true but also my point.
If Modric is playing DM and creating from there,he still has to tackle…and he cant
If he plays more up he pushes the ball to the strikers ,wingers etc but he doesnt score.
So to me he is not what Silva is or Matta etc even though he is very capable.
Silva can play Modrics role but not the other way around as Silva can also score

Morning Chaps,
I am worried about Real Madrid’s interest in Luka. I don’t think they have the money and are going to try and force a move on the cheap. They owe Spanish banks over E100m and as we all know they are not in the best shape in the World. Spanish banks to raise money now have to pay 6-7% on their bonds – this will now be getting passed to Spanish sports teams who owe those banks a total of E3.5bn! Unsustainable. I am expecting these clubs to struggle financially in the next year.
So that leaves Chelsea or Man City, based on the fact that Man Yoo are also struggling with their debt as banks put their rates up (hence they have listed on the NYSE to raise cash to service their debt).

Well, the huge, astronomical amounts of debt mentioned in the article under normal circumstances should prohibit the buying of any player at all.

[Reply]
Pantomine Horse Reply:
July 7th, 2012 at 8:33 am
Boy Charioteer, forgive me, but I think you have missed the point of my post. My point is that because of Spanish banking crash, which saw Real Madrid offer Cristano Ronaldo as collateral for a loan (similar to you offering the possible repossession of your house to a mortgage company),The Dom Perignon culture cannot continue. Spanish banks are paying over 7% for money. Therefore to make a profit they must lend at over 9%. If Real want to borrow more money to extend their credit they are going to go insolvent. Therefore, they must cut their debt which means far less money for transfers than in the last 15 years. This could see, as kojac says, a re-balancing of power in European football, but also Europe more generally losing the top football talent to Asia.

It all depends on whether you want your heart or your head to govern the conditions of the sale! The situation at Ibrox is scarier than people think.

As pointed out on many occasions by MS,Modric is effectively in his last year of contract,however don’t fall for that 40m offer BS either-Chelsea offered 28m plus a player (Alex or A.N.Other), whom they valued at 12 million but we neither wanted or valued at the price. I can’t see us getting anywhere near 40m myself, unless a bidding war erupts of course!

Peter McWilliam is another name that never appears either yet clearly both men were visionary and architects the ‘Tottenham’ style we all came to admire through the ages.

Ode to Rich G-(Is he Buscuit or Cake?)
Is delusion but an illusion?
Are your intrusions just there to annoy?
Are you Rich G, rich or a pauper?
And will I like Marmite or jam for my tea?
As it’s just July, not August or May
And the final bell has not pealed
As you can tell, that I’m bored to distraction
Yet note that your arsehole has healed!

Arther Rowe-Llup,wasone of the first managers to encourage players to roll cigarettes with their feet.
This created incredible footwork and concentration unfortunately Passive Dribbling led to an eradication of individual dribbling skills. We all dribble or no-one dribbles.
Shame.

I couldn’t fathom as to why Rowe’s name was never mentioned in the same vane as Billy Nick’s or KB’s, even Venables seemed to get more plaudits yet Rowe truly was a Tottenham man and legend.

Quote from our lovely ex -DoF Frank Arnesen now at Hamburg.
“I don’t want to talk about it too much because Van der Vaart has a contract at Tottenham Hotspur until 2015.
“If I get a signal from his end that there might be something, things will be different”.
The Dutch – they really know how to communicate!

Interesting deviation from the norm, ‘I can’t talk about players under contract, but my phone number is 0123 456789, tell him to call me.’

The Mail had a new spin on a non story yesterday, during the week there was a Dumb & Dumber rumour of ‘What are the odds of Jermain Defoe going to QPR, like one in a million? So you’re telling me there’s a chance.’ This was the story of a player who doesn’t want to leave and someone decided to nominate a club for him not to want to join.
The Mail’s take was that AVB has told JD he cannot leave to join the club of his non-choice and is forcing him to stay and play for his place. The Mail were being a bit selective though, as this was just the tip of the iceberg. I’m led to believe AVB had some words of wisdom for a couple of other players in the same boat.
AVB: “If that Wayne Rooney comes to me and says ‘I want to leave Manchester United for West London football.’ I’d say to him ‘Look, Wayne, you may be a nailed on England International, with a slightly expanding waistline and hairline, but if you want to leave the Theatre of Dreams for the bright lights of Sheppards Bush, I’d say ‘Oi! Rooney! … No!’
And if that Lionel Messi came to me and said ‘I quite fancy plying my trade at Loftus Road.’ I’d say to him ‘Listen, Lionel, you may be the best player in the world, with your bucket load of exquisite goals, but if you want to swap the Camp Nou for a footballer’s life at Queens Park Rangers, I’d say ‘Oi! Messi!…No!”
It’s amazing just how many players are being blocked from moving to QPR by AVB.
Just a bit bored I guess…

it will be strange when the top players move to richer leagues out east/west eventually,i wonder what will happen,either some type of world franchise leagues or back to the old days of rattles and plumbers and butchers playing at the lane
