Spurs in £135 million swoop

February 19th, 2008

Tottenham spend £135 million on new players! Don’t think we will be seeing those headlines, do you?  We are being linked with every player under the sun it seems.  Here is just a “small” group of our transfer targets apparantly.  Tell us which ones would you want and why.  I’ve left a few for you to price up yourselves. Tottenham want 25-year-old Italy stopper Marco Amelia from Serie A side Livorno. Tottenham will land Espanyol defender Dani Jarque in the summer for £8 million. Tottenham Hotspur talent spotter Damien Comolli has lined up Olympique Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda to be the clubs new number one for £2.5 million. 

Tottenham and Manchester United are both said to be keeping tabs on Stockport starlet Tommy Rowe.

 Tottenham and Manchester United are set to do battle for 15 year old Congo international Paul Jose Mpoklu

. French sensation Karim Benzema (Lyon) is on Tottenham’s radar - cost £20 million.

 Diego Capel – £10m from Seville.

David Villa – £25m from Valencia.

Ricardo Quaresma – £20m from Porto.

Charles N’Zogbia – £8m from Newcastle.

Peter Crouch – £12m from Liverpool – don’t inflict him upon us please.

Wes Brown (Manchester United).

Jens “Clanger” Lehman (Arsenal) – do we need 3 fumbling goalkeepers, and a gooner to boot?.

David James (Portsmouth).

Steve Sidwell and Wayne Bridge (Chelsea) - £15 million.

Werder Bremen midfield ace Diego - £12 million.

 Other recent and fantastic news, Stuart Downing signs a new contract at Middlesborough and Jason Gardner wants to stay at Everton, please do, let’s get whatever we can for him.  The guy is a total liability, he has had one good game for us this season to be fair but if we can get £2-2.5 million, grab their hands off. 

New Owners? Steve Nash is in “casual contact” with Tottenham - but the Phoenix Stars basketball player says he has no immediate intention of getting involved in the club.  Reports suggest he would like to head a consortium being a passionate Spurs fan. An intelligent man obviously.

Hello world!

Welcome to the new Tottenham Memorabilia blog, the easy way for you to keep up our take on the news surrounding the world’s greatest club, Tottenham Hotspur FC.

Let me draw your attention to a nice little webpage devoted to Jermaine Jenas at www.hubpages.com/Jermain-Jenas our industrious midfielder.

So we have two goalkeepers who drop clangers. Radek Cerny, when I have watched him play, seems to have no spring in his legs. He dosen’t dive very far to his right or left and that causes me concern. He has looked safe in the air and then makes the most elementary mistake which was solely down to concentration.

Robinson was a fine goalkeeper until losing confidence, if that can be repaired then he will be a fine stopper again.

Against Slavia Prague Spurs didn’t even try, they should have killed that game 4-0 by half time and then started preparing for the Carling Cup Final. As it is they can not rest and have to do a job 3 days before facing Chelsea, not ideal.
