Would have thought with Hughton going we would be watching defenders?

Why, is he just the Assistant Manager of the defence now?

 

no but he isnt assistant manager at all

They're going to bankrupt themselves at this rate

I think they are spending on the basis they'll be champions league side next year.  Could go horribly wrong......... or right if you hate them like I do.

 

I think Spurs are perfectly safe to be honest - they spend what they make, dbt free so they can balance out tranfsers against revenue pretty effectively, no interest on debts etc...they're also being backed by Joe Lewis of ENIC so they've got a benefactory owner as well.

 

You sure about that?

Looks to be around £30m to me. This Spurs fan's site has them with £10m in the bank in 2006:

Slippery slope IYAM.   :razz:

 

Im not sure i understand either site to be honest- Forbes has us down as having a 43% debt to value ratio. I thought we were debt free, also it says Spurs are £10m in the black on the other site, no suggestin of debt there? Am i being really stupid here.... :blush:

2006: +£10m

2007: -£30m

= Spurs running at a loss of £40m / year.  :pow:

Pulis, the Stoke manager has been scouting in France and turned down a player, unnamed who was sold to him as "the next Drogba". Said he would have cost the club a lot of money, but is no better than what they have.

 

Either it's Gomis, or another new Drogba  :lol:

Didnt they already have the new Drogba (Shola) on loan?  :  )

Spurs don't operate at negative financial balance. Every club has liabilities but it's about whether you can balance the books at the end of the season which Spurs do. Mike Ashley removed Newcastle's operating debt when he arrived (around 70 mil I think) so neither club is at risk. It's also very unlikely that Jo Lewis would allow one of his subsidiary companies to go under without bailing them out if it ever came to that. Leeds never had a safety net of any description.

As a left-back, how about Joe Mattock from Leicester? Only 17-18, already in the England Under 21s, and can't see Leicester clinging onto him. Can't see him costing silly money and would mean giving Enrique a longer run in the side.

If he's good then our scouting network will be watching him I'm sure.

Miguel Veloso has hinted he could be ready to a summer move to England.

 

 

The Sporting Lisbon star was speaking after he helped his club claim the Portguese Cup with victory over league champions Porto on Sunday.

 

 

Manchester United have long been linked with the versatile midfielder, whilst Newcastle and Arsenal are also said to be interested.

 

 

Now the 21-year-old has again suggested he could move to England but would not talk about any possible destination.

 

 

"I do not know if this was my last game [for Sporting]," he told reporters afterwards.

 

 

"England may be a good destination but I do not know anything about the offers."

 

 

Sporting have always said they may allow Veloso to leave this summer - but only if their valuation of the Portuguese international is met.

My number 1 transfer target. He's the signing that i think could make most difference to the side.

Having spoke with a Sporting fan we've got more chance of Smith getting 20.

 

ive heard similar things, people seem to think this guy is the bee's knees but a lotof people dont  praise Moutihno in the same manner. Apprently Man U have first option. I dont see arsenal putting £20m down on the table for a DM, and Chelsea definitely dont need him - very surpirsed Liverpool arent courting his interest.

With united having just tied Carrick down to a new deal and having Hargreaves as well I don't see Veloso ending up there. IMO he wouldn't fit into chelsea as he isnt the Makalele type of DM. Liverpool have so much quality in Central midfield anyway. I have a feeling Wenger will spend big this summer so Arsenal may be where he will end up.

 

If they don't however then we should be there to snap him up!

Its true UTD have a first option as part of their link,canny feeder team to have haha. But if I read it right they have the first option to "Make an offer" not they are the only ones who can, it also means if they match our offer it has to be accepted.

 

But i'd say go for it, we won't but Iwould.
