is expected to leave White hart Lane this summer. The same report goes on to mention that Juande Ramos has already found a replacement
for the outgoing Bulgarian.Tottneham have failed in their first attempt to sign Spain striker David Villa, but they are set to make another offer, according to the report.Valencia have had a very tough past season in La Read more:Tottenham
Bentley and transfer rumour round up 2008-07-29 18:45:00 As we suspected yesterday, the Bentley
deal has taken a step forward now we have seen Robbie Keane in a Liverpool shirt (yes, made me feel sick too!)The BBC earlier reported that 'Blackburn Rovers have confirmed they are in negotiations with Tottenham over the possible sale of David Bentley'.He will be a great addition to our squad but I find it slightly frustrating Spurs are going to have to weig Read more:round

Maybe I was wrong 2008-07-29 18:35:00 Roy Keane claims to have agreed personal terms with 3, if not all 4 of the Tottenham players he put bids in for last week. You know, the deal I said would never happen!Keane said: "I wouldn't get bogged down with deals being done by today or tomorrow, but I certainly hope they will be by the weekend."There is progress being made, but you know the score. You are dealing with clubs and sometimes the Read more:Maybe
Tottenham’s Levy to go on £45 million shopping spree? 2008-07-29 18:35:00 A report carried in the Daily Mirror claims that Tottenham
chairman Daniel Levy has identified four targets for his £45 million
transfer windfall.Despite seeing Robbie Keane leave for Liverpool, Spurs are still bracing to lose Dimitar Berbatov. The Bulgarian has been left unsettled amidst rumors of a move to Manchester United and Spurs fear he will leave, with Levy already having admitted that he
My Kingdom for a dossier 2008-07-29 18:34:00 A dossier is typically a briefing paper based on an individual of interest in police or intelligence circles'. That's the Wikipedia definition of a dossier.My problem is Spurs aren't the police and they are demonstrating about as much intelligence as when they brought Damien Comolli to the club.I'm sure Utd haven't gone strictly by the rule book where Berbatov is concerned but a dossier worth of w Read more:Kingdom
The Rumour Mill - Top Five 2008-07-29 18:34:00 I thought I would post the top five unconfirmed Spurs stories I've heard from various sources over the last few days, maybe some of you in the know can comment on their validity. Not something I've done before but it could be interesting.1. Keane and Poyet had a bust up after Keane told Poyet he was a fool for turning down Man Utd.2. Ledley King and Berbatov had a training ground bust up over Berb Read more:Top Five
Ramos speaks sense where transfers are concerned 2008-07-29 18:29:00 Ramos was quoted in the press yesterday basically saying every player has their price, especially those approaching 30."At Tottenham, we have had a clear philosophy regarding buying and selling for years. The idea is signing young players, promising and talented ones, and if important offers for older players are made, studying it to see what is the best for the club."I completely agree with this Read more:concerned

Arshavin to soften the blow ? 2008-07-29 18:29:00 Andrei Arshavin has been linked with all the big boys this Summer but reports today are suggesting the slighter smaller boy with potential for a growth spurt, Tottenham, are in for the Russian star.Zenit St Petersburg official Konstantin Sarsaniya was quoted in the Russian press regarding Tottenham's interest in the player.“With Tottenham we have contacts,”“This English club is really intere
Black Cats bid for 4, I find it hard to believe 2008-07-29 18:29:00 Roy Keane of Man Utd, Celtic and now Sunderland fame has apparently bid for four of our misfits, Steed Malbranque, Teemu Tainio, Pascal Chimbonda and Younes Kaboul. Sunderland have also been linked with Darren Bent.I find it very hard to believe
they have made solid bids for this quartet. Similarly to all the swap deals that are banded about in the press, when do you see four players move from one Read more:Black
Levy vs Fergie, I don't fancy our chances! 2008-07-29 18:29:00 Sir Alex Ferguson is considering legal action over Daniel Levy's comments about Ferguson's comments about Berbatov!As I'm sure everyone is aware, Levy complained to the Premier League that Ferguson has done his best to unsettle Berbatov labelling Ferguson's comments to the press saying Utd have made a bid and is confident of getting his man 'disgraceful'.I can understand why Levy doesn't want to s Read more:chances

Lennon and Poyet committed to the cause 2008-07-29 18:24:00 Both Gus Poyet and Aaron Lennon
have been linked with moves away from the club recently, (seems like most of our squad have been) but both have moved to quash the rumours in the last 24 hours.Since the departure of Carlos Queiroz at Manchester Utd, Poyet has been linked with the assistant's job there but it doesn't look like he's giving the rumours the time of day.Poyet told the club's official we
Berbatov a done deal, Bentley not as done as it was 2008-07-29 18:24:00 According to those in the know, a deal has been done with Man Utd and Berbatov
is on his way to Old Trafford in a deal worth at least £25m. This won't come as a shock to anyone and although a player with that amount of talent will be a loss, it was unlikely Spurs would be able to keep hold of him again this season and for that kind of money we can't really complain.For the past few weeks it's bee Read more:Bentley
Chimbonda on his way,,, Hopefully 2008-07-29 18:24:00 The sooner we get rid of this arrogant mug the better imo. Ever since his performance after the Carling Cup win over Ar5ena1, where he showed a complete lack of respect for the club and it's fans, I've wanted him out. He then added to my hatred by acting like a spoilt brat when he was subbed in the final.To behave the way him did after two of the greatest games in the club's history was a disgrace
Defoe to Villa, Downing to Spurs ? 2008-07-29 18:14:00 Jermain Defoe has apparently held talks with Aston Villa
in the last 24 hours with a fee of 10-12 million being reported. I like him as a player but there is no point in him warming our bench for another couple of years which looks likely under Ramos. I'm sure he'll do well for Villa and the simple fact is with Keane and Berbatov both fit, he's only ever going to be a squad player. I wonder if it Read more:Downing

Top 4, any chance? 2008-07-29 18:14:00 The illusive top 4, every Tottenham fan's dream, the holy grail (not the Rola Cola Cup as we pretend it to be!)Well Ramos has already splashed some serious cash and we still have a few weeks to go before the 08/09 season gets under way. Modric for £16.6m, Gomes for around £7m, Dos Santos for £4.7m and bargain Bostock for £700,000, although I doubt he will see much first team action this season Read more:chance
Time for Keane to Kop off ?? 2008-07-29 18:14:00 He's been a great servant to the club, but would it be best for himself and the team if Robbie Keane
made the much speculated move to Liverpool?Personally, I've always rated Keane as one of the best moaners in the Premiership, he's not a bad striker either. A lot of football fans I speak to are of the opinion that he's average and Spurs would have been far better off keeping Defoe and getting shot
We are short of strikers after all 2008-07-29 18:13:00 Lyon striker Fred is set for talks with Spurs in the next 48 hours over a proposed transfer to White Hart Lane. Reports indicate the move will cost Spurs around £9 million.This would suggest to me that Ramos plans to offload at least one of Bent or Defoe in the transfer window. It looks like any Berbatov deal will likely wait until the Summer if he decides he wants to leave with Champions League
One nil to the Arse..sorry Tottenham...! 2008-07-29 18:03:00 Well, another 1-0 away victory for the lads. I'm not one to get too excited where my football team is concerned, but recent results are very encouraging. Tottenham
's away form over the last few years has always been their Achilles heel. They have never been able to go away from home and nick scrappy 1-0 victories, now they can.Reading had their fair share of possession last night but Spurs control Read more:sorry

takes a gentle swagger down London’s Seven Sisters Road and confirms his status as Arsenal’s newest hate figure.Not only did Bentley demand to leave the Gunners in 2006 but he had the audacity to take a verbal swipe at Arsene Wenger on his way to Blackburn.Then he went on to prove there is life after Wenger by forcing his way into t Read more:ready
