General Transfer Rumour Discussion Thread

Jordinho said:
A statement on City's official website on Friday read: "Stevan Jovetic has signed for Inter Milan on a year-and-a-half's loan with a view to a permanent transfer.

"The 25-year-old Montenegrin joined City from Fiorentina in summer 2013, but injury has consistently upset his progress for Manuel Pellegrini's side.

"He will now go on loan to the Nerazzurri for a season and a half, with a view to a permanent stay.

"Jovetic managed 11 goals from 44 appearances at City, with the highlight his double in the 3-1 win over Liverpool in August 2014, and he lifted the Premier League and Capital One Cup trophies in the 2013/14 season.

"Everyone at City wishes Stevan well for his time with Inter."

Linked to Ukraine lad and supposedly putting in bid takes biscuit.. This guy has been available all summer , why now ?? Tight ass approach and still no sign of really strong attacking players or wingers no proper defensive top midfield player in .. Not worried cos this is typical Spurs .. Saturday week after a United mauling this place will agree to this ....what I just don't get is all the vibes , comments and itks thru out summer and even our manager saying we have definite plans and targets in place from end of last season all looking confident yet here we are a week before season starts and ****in nothing bar a free transfer right back and a centre half nicked off Southampton. They might be good but no where near enough ... Shocking! Just hope we can give United a game next week but I sense another serious hammering

First of all it's just paper gonad*s.

Maybe we started the summer with a list of 10 CMs in prioritized order and we're now down to 5 or 6 (Schneiderlin gone, McCarthy too expensive etc.), would it not make sense to try and have talks with more than one at a time? If we were only going to target a single player and wait until we have a definite yes or no from him we would be in deep brick. If it drags on (which it will when targeting players at this level) and he finally turns us down we have to start over from scratch with number two on the list. What you want to do is get in touch with lots of players and clubs and see what possibilities there are. You then try to make a deal for those that you want the most, while keeping others on the backburner just in case.

It could also be that players like Bender and Kramer aren't willing to commit to us until they know for sure that bigger clubs won't come in for them. Even then we still have to tempt them away from their current club.

Maybe we will get a hammering vs utd but our season wont be defined after the opening match.....signings or no signings...lets be honest if we got a point from Old Trafford we would all be ecstatic....anyway....paper boll**ks and all that....

Our signings thus far have been solid if not spectacular but their is still much to be done. The most important thing was trimming our bloated squad, releasing those who took our resources but offered little to feck all in return.

While roostering up in the first place by signing them getting rid of Paulie, Kabs and Chiriches has been massive for us, damage limitation wise we have done well.

I sense we will see some big (ish) signings....soon...there is plenty of time still to go before 1st september...try and keep the faith...If Ade & Solly goes then we will need to replace them....we are missing a beast in midfield. So I reckon were due three signings very soon.

48 hours I reckon....
 
I watche Sven and Lars bender alot , Sven is more DM who can also play as box to box, while Lars is more CM who can also play more advanced rple on the right side. Sven Being out most of the last season in dortumnd affected their game alot , among many other reasons of course. He has a history of long and repetitve injuries and for me that is the only proplem about him.

I think you'll find it's the papers that have a scatter gun approach,not Spurs. You haven't a clue what's actually going on. I don't know how many times this has to be explained to some people, but unless you are one of the oil rich teams you are not going to get in all your targets early and have to be patient....

It's a bit of a panic post, we do need to judge the squad and signings in a months time. However it does seem we have withdrawn totally from the transfer market and we aren't even trying to play the game that way anymore. Not nessesarily a bad thing.

Maybe the leaks for gossip have been plugged, maybe it's because we are investing in the stadium but the days of chasing that fantasy player have long gone.

How does it seem like that?

Let's go back and look again at Levy's quotes from two and a half weeks ago:

“The window will be reasonably busy,” he said. “We have already brought in four new players since the winter window and we’ve done deals for players who have now left.

“At the moment it is fairly relaxed. I would anticipate that as the window goes on, the activity will happen in the last two weeks but we are trying to business early where we can.”
