Departures/Rumours thread

Tim said, he was gutted to see Lewis go to Fulham on loan till the end of the season. He's wants first team football and more time on the pitch. Sherwood understood he's reason's and has let me go on loan as feel's hes down the picking line for the starting 11.


Plus he did say he still has a future at Spurs and is welcome back in the summer.

But will the new manager - if not Sherwood - want him back? Would Sherwood want him back? And would he want to come back after being shipped out. Obviously he is not in Spurs plans for this season; which must be a kick in the teeth for him.

Well, I was and still am annoyed at this deal, however, I have been thinking and it could not be end of the world for Holtby and Spurs. He's only 23 (same as Danny Rose) and Rose was on loan at Sunderland not so long ago... I think we will be needing Holtby next season when we will have failed to qualify for CL and Real Madrid has taken Sandro and Paulinho.

I hope you are right; however, Rose worked his way up while Holtby came as a full professional. In other words he now wants top team football. He did his apprenticeship in Germany.

Just found this on Sky sports website. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11675/9246323/transfer-news-romelu-lukakus-agent-says-he-has-spoken-to-tottenham-about-a-transfer

Lukaku is just the type of player we should be looking at. Whether Everton will pay the 20 mill he's probably gonna fetch is another matter. If not, then we should be in with a chance. He's obviously not in Jose's plans.

Apparently Hull City will sign Michael Dawson some time this week. To be honest, I would like to see Michael stay for another year and get the testimonial he deserves. He could still be a decent back-up for us, especially when we consider how injury-prone our squad is.

If you believe the papers Federico Fazio is on his way to Spurs. An experienced Central defender.

Just been confirmed that Dawson has gone to Hull.

It seems Lewis Holtby will join Hamburg on loan. A stupid, stupid move from Spurs... We could definitely use his stamina and skills here.

edit: It also seems that Sandro could be on his way to QPR. Please shoot me!

edit 2: Italian side Bari have signed our reserve players Souleymane Coulibaly (permanent transfer) and Tomislav Gomelt (loan). Jonathan Obika has been sold to Swindon Town. I've always had the impression that Coulibaly was meant to be the next Drogba but it seems it just wasn't to be...

What we want to hear is that we've signed a striker and probably an attacking midfield.

Alas, no! I hope we don't come to regret it otherwise it won't be just the top 4 we will be struggling to achieve.
