Telegraph says we have made inquries to sign Dembele and Willain

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...-Luka-Modric-move-to-Madrid-edges-closer.html

Would welcome a move for Dembele. Seems were going for the whole Dutch national team atm. Bring on the Dutchmen I say.. but Willian seems a bit overpriced imo. I'd rather have Hoillett for a considerable amount less.

huh?



:ssg:

 

[braineclipse]

huh?

Dembele, like Vertonghen is Belgian, not Dutch.

He signs when he wants,
he signs when he waaaants,
He loves us very much,
and he's not fudging Dutch!

[VolSpur]

Oh come on surely you'd rather Hoilett for possibly 15m less than Willian. I know Willian would speak portuguese so he could talk to AVB better but for the money, Hoilett's surely a better investment.

I think he's referring to you calling Dembele dutch.

Kaka's already been linked to PSG a couple of days ago.

 

[indianspur]

have we signed a striker yet

 

[SingaSpurs]

After watching the LA galaxy match i'm seriously worried.. We need a ball playing CM to replace modric and a striker(or two) who can play alone up front!!! A keeper would be good too..

 

[indianspur]

Villas-Boas has monitored the Lyon goalkeeper but Tottenham have been put off by the financial package that would be required to secure his signature. Villas-Boas said that he was ready to put his faith in the club's experienced goalkeepers Brad Friedel, Heurelho Gomes and Carlo Cudicini.
"The search for a goalkeeper at the moment is a non-search because we have three top goalkeepers and we have David Button coming through and wanting to join a group of three excellent goalkeepers," Villas-Boas said. "So it's nonexistent and it's false that we are at the moment looking for a goalkeeper."

Or we're lying to try and reduce the cost of the package

 

[P.D.]

Modric wont go to France so he will end up staying with us.

Unless its tactics by us to increase the price and hurry Real into agreeing a 40m deal.

We really need to get our act in gear in terms of strikers. Ade is not enough and I would not be confident with just Ade and Defoe as strikers for next season. Ade needs competition - the guy is brilliant on his day but needs competition to keep him on his toes.

plus we don't even own Ade yet.

 

[indianspur]

Or we're lying to try and reduce the cost of the package

yeah, good luck trying to outfox Aulas

 

[Kingdawson]

Wait just a minute...just wait right there. I was told the sweeper keeper was pivotal to AVB's preferred tactics and Friedel just doesn't fit? we'd have to get a replacement in ASAP. There must be something wrong there, i'm not having it.

 

[AdamB]

plus we don't even own Ade yet.

As I said yesterday, am fully expecting us to have Defoe and VdV up top when we play Noocastle in our first game
