10 Hours or so until the the window shuts.
It's not looking to great...
Huntelaar - signs for Schalke
Ashley Young - Deal Looks Unlikely
Jenas - Up in stoke today
Adebayor - We are interested in a Loan deal
Scott Parker - We are attempting to make another Bid
Pienaar - another bid may be made, because he still hasn't signed a contract and now David Moyes is favourite for the Aston Villa Job
Muntari - Apparently we are in talk discussing a fee
Lets hope we can get a big name... not looking so good so far.
-
Any news on Keane? Harry has said he would not let him leave but rumours say something else. What is your source on Jenas?
-
Adebeyor is even worse than gallas. Can we pick any other players that epitomizse the arrogance and vileness of Ars*nal players than this puke ball. I want to die. This is getting embarrassing. >:(
-
You know, I really don't understand why people think that we should buy/sell at last minute. What is the point of selling (for example) Keane and bringing in someone who is unfit, needs half a season to settle or even worse - is injured. Sorry, this is sheer idiocy. So, on this transfer deadline day I hope we can keep our players and avoid signing any mercenaries such as Adebayor who is nothing but trouble. The man went to ManC for big money, then suddenly he did not start the first game of the season and wanted to be transferred elsewhere. Come on!
-
I Doubt that no one will come in by 6pm today.
-
Croatiean goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa has joined us for a season on loan.
-
Any news on Keane? Harry has said he would not let him leave but rumours say something else. What is your source on Jenas?
Said all of that on Sky Sports News.
Jenas thing isn't true because he turned up for training.
Man City have said Adebayor is staying at City
Pienaar is still an option
Redknapp said on Sky Sports News, any deal is looking Unlikley, but we will see what is avalible
-
what the fug is this flamin obsession with the only quite good but gorgeous (great cheekbones) Scott Parker .... has old Arry got a boy-crush on him or something ??... another CM ffs why ??!!
we have Thudd and Modric as our 1st-choice.... then we have Palacios who is more than a good enough backup, as well as the more than adequate backup to the backup Jenas.... and now even a very adequate by all accounts backup to the backup's backup.... THATS 5 CMs
Parker ??.... WHY 'ARRY WHY ???
WE SHOULD BE FOCUSSING TODAY ON GETTING A TALL FORWARD WITH AT LEAST SOME PACE/POWER TO PLAY UPFRONT WITH ANY OF DEFOE, PAV.... EVEN DOS SANTOS.... CROUCH TOO IF NEEDED... these are the ones available at very short notice:-
Iaquinta (loan deal easily possible, as Juve looking to ship out)
Jay Bothroyd....... Prem-class talent
Zamora
even Gomez on loan
Saha (not tall but still pacy, experienced, great abilty... price factors in injury record)
just 5 off the top of my head in about 3mins to write this... theres gotta be more out there for a club with research, contacts etc available on a continental scale .......
Levy... you need to prove youre more than a shrewd operator.... you need to be a DYNAMIC one now too...
-
I feel like I'm in BizarroWorld. Ever since the Wigan game - I have to agree with pretty much everything you've had to say! :up:
-
youre starting to discover the way of the universe Wilson... ;)
looks like our search for a fast, tallish, sorta powerfulguy who can kick the ball HARD at goal may finally have ended...
step forward Ryan Babel..... a good choice too..... time to loan Keano back to Celtic now methinks..
-
News in Italy is that Milan are hastily trying to sell Borriello to make space for Robinho. Juve and Roma interested but only as a loan. Spurs and Liverpool quoted as negotiating at this moment in time.
I guess Borriello matches Gareth's definition of the big strong forward with pace....
-
Just saw Babel announced as a Spur on ESPN. Really?! wtf...
-
Word is... he is in a helicopter right now on his way to London...
but it hasn't been confirmed if it spurs where he is flying to now... but we are interested all they can say, is that spurs did make an enquiry.
-
Now I'm reading 9M pound offer for Babel who is en route to London. Liverpool looking to use the cash on Carlton Cole...
He went to Liverpool three years ago for 11.5M, right? At 23, he seems to have plateaued. Surely we could have gotten him for a little less if, in fact, that's actually a deal.
-
YYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS :dance: :dance: :dance:
Babel is actually almost a perfect fit for our strikeforce..... good pace, great powerful shot, Prem and CL experienced, right age, right price at 9m, should be able to link well with any othe other 3 strikers: Pav, Defoe, Crouch.... after Fabbo, I think we couldnt have done any better at all...
Gallas, Sandra, Stipe, Ryan...... the season begineth noweth..
Amen.
-
Stop right there Gareth.
It seems to be Bable is flying to West Ham, in a swap deal for Carlton Cole
-
Babel------------------do not want :nope:
-
Hold the phone...now there is speculation that he was never headed to Spurs at all but to WEST HAM on a swap for C. Cole.
-
Why are we getting SHAT upon? Hleb to Birmingham? Huntelaar to Schalke? Cockblocked by ManCity! Even frikkin Stoke is getting more action...
ESPN Soccernet now claiming that Hammers turned down Cole to Liverpool deal and Babel IS on his way to Spurs....we shall see...
-
Jose Dominguez has just arrived at the lane for a medical....apparently he has grew two feet taller since the last time he was here!! :ohyeah:
-
Jose Dominguez lol. There's a name from the past. I loved that little chap. I remember when we beat Leicester in The Worthington Cup Final, apart from Nielsens goal, the biggest cheer of the day was for Jose warming up. I wonder whatever happened to him. He went to Germany as far as I recall I should think he's retired by now. Good luck to him where ever he is. Remember his goal against Sheffield Wednesday? What a strike that was.
-
Yeah went to Germany and ended up with a team in Egypt i think...he scored the first that day against Wednesday if my memory is correct?
-
Babel's twitter says "guys, guys, guys..." / "I'm going nowhere..."
Hleb to Birmingham
Gudjohnsen loan to Stoke
Asamoah Gyan to Sunderland!
Spurs come up emptyhanded?...ugh.
-
Not empty-handed, remember that we cant even get rid of the deadwood, keane, jenas etc etc :(
-
This has got to be the quietest window we have ever been invoked in. We are usually one of the biggest movers in the window.
Its strange not getting any players in :lol:
Asamoah Gyan went to Sunderland...I wouldn't have minded him at spurs
-
Its not looking good at all
-
This just posted on ESPN:
Dom Raynor: Not happy with Ryan Babel Spurs fans? Well there is good news. Reports in Italy claim that Lazio president Claudio Lotito is in London, completing Mauro Zarate’s €25m (yes €25m) sale to Tottenham.
Here's the article (I don't read Italian...) --> http://www.datasport.it/index.php?body=news;idnews=36032 (http://www.datasport.it/index.php?body=news;idnews=36032)
-
:lol: well they have got 15min to complete it.
i can't see them doing a deal for that much in 15 mins
-
Just on sky sports news...
"After The Break we will go to Tottenham because There could be a International name linked with the Holland squad at the World Cup coming in"
sounds interesting
-
There breaking it now on Sky Sports News
Van Der Vaart
-
Van Der Vaart...yes please!
-
Transfer Window Closed
-
For some reason my Sky Sports feed became a 5 minute highlight reel, but I'm reading Van der Vaart on ESPN as well. If they got it registered in time - the news could still break. I'm wondering about that Zarate deal that the Italian paper reported...
-
They never said anything about Zarate on Sky Sports.
within the next 30 mins alot things will become alot clearer.
Deals could have been completed, but just not announced yet.
Word is if Van Der Vaart deal goes through, Bentley will go to Fulham on Loan
-
Yeah heard about the Bentley thing too...sitting here watching VDV highlights getting myself psyched out - lol
-
Zarate ..... what a total waste of anything over 7m EUROS not even pounds sterling..
Fan the Faart...... over-hyped slow midget but has a nice little piroette and an okay shot..
what a friggin anti-climax to it all..... but we got Gallas, Sandra and a decent backup GK.... so its all gravy...
bring on Inter Milan.... I really think we are ready...
and NO PARKER :dance:..... thats gotta be worth Messi's left testicle at the least..
-
I'm hearing VDV could be a year long loan deal with an option to buy.
Something is still going on because Harry is still at the training ground right now
-
Breaking News.
"Harry Redknapp Confident Tottenham Will Sign Van Der Vaart"
Just seen an interview on Sky Sports
-
if its only for 8m then youve got yourself a bargain Dannyboy.... you lucky lucky bunny-wunny...
cannot believe his price went from 18m to 8m in just 1 day.... think Jose is trying to help us here put some pressure on the big-boys so as to make it more difficult for them to challenge RM in Europe..
obilgado Jose.... mucho obligado :up:
-
Van der Vaart! YES DOUBLE YES And im gonna get a second shirt with his name on it!
-
Our old boy Teemu Tainio has signed for Martin Jol's Ajax. I'm happy for him because he's been one of my favourite players to wear Spurs shirt and I'm happy that BMJ has decided to bring him to Ajax. Obviously Jol rates him.
-
Oh well lads, at least we can focus on Harrys main target.......MESSI :dance:
-
The VDV deal is very real and the Spanish papers are already reporting it as complete. The price for VDV went from 18M Euros (14.7M Pounds) with Bayern Munich to 8M Pounds with about two hours to go - still a pretty drastic dip. If it gets registered - that's a tidy bit of business from our Spurs. No matter what your opinion of the player - at that price it is a stone cold STEAL!
COYS
-
I'd/I'm very happy if/when we sign VDV. He's a class who holds the key to unlock many defences. £8 million is a ruddy bloody bargain.
Get in Harry laaaad!
-
Laughed my arse off when I read that post Gareth..........no really .....Im shovelling it up off the floor as we speak. May feed the cat with it later and then get used to life as an arseless bloke 8D :up:
Zarate ..... what a total waste of anything over 7m EUROS not even pounds sterling..
Fan the Faart...... over-hyped slow midget but has a nice little piroette and an okay shot..

and NO PARKER :dance:..... thats gotta be worth Messi's left testicle at the least..
-
Well any update??? Is he?? Isnt he? ??? ??........................
-
The Premier League is looking at the circumstances of the deal...decision expected tomorrow..fingers crossed..he's only 27..yet to hit his prime imo.
-
you just know that if it Abu Dhabi County the authorities would have bent over backwards to acconodate them if it was 4hrs over deadline...
they wouldnt dare say no in case UAE got the hump and pulled all their oil-money outta the British economy..... stock market wouldve halved in 2 days..

So im guessing it is true that VdV Deal is completed. Plz plz oh plz make sure he comes and not January! Omg omg omg!! Shirt number shirt number!!
-
We missed the deadline. The deal is in doubt big time.
We are asking the PL for an exception because of technical issues sending the paper work
-
Any sources for your info? Did you read it on skysports?
Thats the skysports interview with Harry about it, but still neither confirms it either way.
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11675_6352239,00.html? (http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11675_6352239,00.html?)
According to Skysports article
Sky Sports News understands Tottenham Hotspur missed the deadline to finalise the paperwork for the signing of Rafael van der Vaart.
Thats the article headline but they neither confirm it either way also, they just rewrite what we already new, no actual hard information that we missed the deadline, so not sure where they are getting their information from either.
full article below
Sky Sports News understands Tottenham Hotspur missed the deadline to finalise the paperwork for the signing of Rafael van der Vaart.
Spurs made a late bid to bring in Holland international Van der Vaart and tried to complete the deal before Tuesday's 6pm cut-off.
However, it is understood that technical issues prevented the necessary paperwork from being completed and Spurs have now requested special dispensation from the Premier League to add the midfielder to their squad.
The club were not initially expected to be particularly active on deadline day, but the sudden availability of Van der Vaart at a knock-down price of £8million prompted Spurs to act.
Manager Harry Redknapp told Sky Sports News on Tuesday evening that he was hopeful of signing Van der Vaart and conceded the club could not pass up such an opportunity.
Quality player
"I think he was going to Bayern Munich yesterday for about £18million, but suddenly it became an awful lot cheaper," said Redknapp.
"He is available now for about £8million. He is a quality player. He is a Dutch international and a great footballer.
"For that sort of money, he is a top player and he will improve us for sure. We have made the effort, whether we can pull it off or not we will have to see.
"I am hopeful. It could happen. It was a last-minute job. When I came in this morning it certainly wasn't something I was looking to do."
He added: "He is a great passer of the ball, he is a top footballer. He will join in here and play the way we like to play, he would be a big plus for us.
"He looked like he was going for £18million but then the fee came crashing down because the deadline got close. If the chairman can pull it off, I think he will have got a real bargain."

Sky sports are saying-

-
I really hope we can pull this off. This guy is world class and will walk into the spurs side.
-
All very similar to Arshavin's transfer.
I can't understand why the english window finished at 6pm, while scotlands was at midnight.
Denmark's closes at midnight tonight!!, and I've just read that VDV may be offered to Copenhagen if the spurs deal falls through.
Does this give the countries with a later closing window an advantage to pick the bones of failed moves.
Why doesn't the window shut for all UEFA leagues at the same time?
-
Yeah just saw that one, they say they understand we have missed the deadline, and are asking for special dispensation, I really hope they are being presumptious here, where did they find this out from, FA about they only ones who can confirm, but I am keeping my hopes up, anyone believe in the power of positive thought lol, I am not superstitious but I have my fingers crossed. Good point MKSPURS, maybe because of time diff but, then again if Scotlands is midnight, WTF.
Lars Jacobsen to Blackburn apparently went through at 5:58, and David Carney to Blackpool late also, so they are both waiting clearance.
-
Hey guys, have no fear Van Der Vaart will come.
Really both sides are to blame for this saga, apparently the FA were a disorganised sham, but we were 10-20minutes late so that's where the problem lies.. We're claiming technical difficulties with our email survers or something :lol: Which the FA want proof of, which were struggling with. If that fails then there's a load of 'excuses' we can fire at them anyway... ;)
To sum up, they can't reject this deal as we have FIFA's backing not to mention Madrid and Van Der Vaart fully behind this deal.
If it doesn't get through, Van Der Vaart will not be able to play football until January as he isn't in Madrid's squad, UNLESS he goes to Copenhagen on loan (window closes tonight in Denmark). I doubt Van Der Vaart will like that... Also, we can throw the book at them and call a court order about them blighting a player's career.
All in all they have to let this deal go through. They've done it in the past, Benjani to City and Arshavin to Ars*nal are just 2 examples of this. We should find out by 5pm (squad submitting deadline), if the Premire Officials don't be complete ****ers, we will have him by then, if not this could drag on like the Arshavin deal!

im feeling more positive!! please please please let him be a Spurs player............perrrrrrlllllllease!!!!!!

Got to love Arry at times..Bayern Munich £18 million offer dismissed.
Real Madrid have denied Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp's claims Bayern Munich were close to an £18million deal for Rafael van der Vaart.
Spurs are waiting for the all-clear from the Premier League over the signing of the Dutch midfielder after technical problems saw them struggle to complete the £8million deal before the transfer deadline.
As he awaited confirmation of the deal on Tuesday night, Redknapp claimed the 27-year-old had been set to join Bayern for £18million on Monday but "suddenly he became much cheaper".
But in a statement on Real's official website their sporting director Miguel Pardeza said: "It is absolutely false that Real Madrid received a 21million euro offer from Bayern Munich for Van der Vaart.
"In fact, the German team never showed an interest to sign the player, so the allegations made in England have greatly surprised us."
He added: "Real Madrid met all the deadlines regarding the transfer of Van der Vaart. It's now up to the Premier League to accept the signing so that we can make it official."
-
Deal Confirmed!
He is a Tottenham Player!
-
YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH :up:
-
We broke the news here first! :ohyeah: :dance:

great news.
official site has confirmed and to celebrate posted a pic of peter Andre in a dutch shirt.

Harry and Mr Levy i salute you :2up:
-
I've just cum in me speedos!!! :)
-
I've just cum in me speedos!!! :)
??????? What at the Peter Andre likeness ????????????
-
What promised so much it took a while but it now seems we had a decent transfer window. We got cover at both GK and CB and of course signed a diamond attacking player who will give us Harry so many tactical headaches he will love.
All three signings were well conducted and we haven't broken the bank or wage structure.
Hats off to levy and Harry.
Transfer window = success!
