The Spurs Thread

Brad Friedel joins the club (source).

[Charliemouse]

Fucks sake.

I fully expect us to sign Scott Parker and Joe Cole next.

I'm with you on that one. Scott Parker being justified as the replacement for Modric leaving

[Charliemouse]

To be honest I dont think Redknapp has really made one decent signing since he got here.

All the good players we have signed recently like VDV and Sandro were nothing to do with him.

[meatbin]

Stop it Charlie Mouse! You're getting me all nervous, I'm now worried that the next time I check the news we would have gone and signed Owen Hargreaves or Heskey!

[redbloodcell]

Given Gomes may be leaving I hope we're looking for someone younger as well.

[Charliemouse]

I had forgotten about Hargreaves. He will be Sandro's replacement when we sell him to Milan.

[meatbin]

Well, it's looks Modric is defiantly could be going to Chelsea...

Gutted, irreplaceable imo. Hopefully we'll get Drogba

EDIT - Levy has spoken!

[Charliemouse]

Selling Modric could return us back to mid table mediocrity.

The fact is until we get a new studium we will never be able to hang on to our best players.

New Spurs kit

[Barnard]

It's nice but a massive shame they didn't keep the blue bits on the shoulders.

I think the shoulder bits look super smart on the old kit.

[Shimmyhill]

I really like it, classic style!

[Smoothy]

I'll be honest. I hate the blue bits on the shoulder. I much prefer a plain white shirt.

[redbloodcell]

I loved this season's kit, its got a bit of character and some actual designing done to it whilst still being a Spurs kit. The new ones are just white shirts with our badge slapped on, totally uninspired. Look forward to seeing what Under Armour cook up for 12/13.

[meatbin]

According to Mirror Football, Spurs has gone and signed 20 year old Mexican striker Antonio Pedroza.

The lad apparently speaks English which should help him settle in quick quickly, but I can't find much info about his quality apart from he's not been picked for the international squad, and that's he's been also linked with moves to Fulham and Leicester.

[Charliemouse]

Maybe he can help Gio settle in as I really feel if we sell him , we will regret it.

[Frosty]

Definitely digging the new shirt, always preferred a plain white shirt with a minimalist navy badge. Definitely my favourite design was this one from the 60s before sponsors came and ruined everything.

I also have an inexplicable affinity for Fiorentina so I like the away kit too

According to his Wiki page he was born in Chester, so hopefully won't have any problems settling!

Contrary to recent press speculation, Modric is still not leaving (source). That's right, Modric, you signed a six-year contract last year so you're going nowhere.

Unless a bid for 45 million comes our way

I really hope all this talk from Levy is real and not just something to get increased bids.

[redbloodcell]

So after signing the lad Cellabos recently we've also officially added U17 World Cup scoring sensation Souleymane Coulibaly to the ranks.

Glad we're signing some good prospects for the future, just hope we grab one for now as well!

[Charliemouse]

Coulibaly looks pretty amazing from what I have seen of him and already I would play him instead of that useless lump Defoe even though he is still 16 and I doubt speaks a word of English.

Did anyone else catch the friendly game last Sat as we were fucking awful in it and fully deserved to lose 1-0.

The next one is live on ESPN tonight at 0715PM.

[meatbin]

Spurs v Everton has been postponed due to the recent riot activities.

[Charliemouse]

Gives us time to sell Keane and Crouch and get someone decent in,

[meatbin]

Yeah good point!

[Charliemouse]

Surely someone wants to play up front for us.

Wouldn't be surprised to see modric sold on the last day of the transfer window for £££'s leaving you no time to get a replacement in...

Berbatov all over again

[Charliemouse]

Its so frustrating though , as I feel if we can sign 2 decent strikers to replace the crap we have now , we really could well get in the top 4 again and have some really good cup runs this season,
