Re: Summer Transfer Rumour Thread

[barca 2011]

Rafa Van der Vaart has been linked with Schalke 04. I though he was happy at Spurs though?
Schalke are also after Salomon Kalou as well.

Jan Vertonghen is scheduled for a medical at Tottenham tomorrow according to Dutch journalists.

topal apparently about to sign for fenerbahce for 7 mil... what the hell are we doing

[free_cat]

Well, you got him for free. It's a nice profit.
He's quite young though.

Radja Nainggolan claims he has already agreed personal terms with Juventus, but the proposed move now depends on Cagliari.

The Old Lady initially targeted the midfielder in January, but their interest is still strong as they look to reinforce the side for next season’s Champions League.

“There is already a signed agreement with Juventus,” he told La Derniere Heure. “My agent showed it to me on Monday.

“Everything is ready, but there are two things that could scupper the deal – the interest of other clubs and the cost of my transfer.”

The Belgian international has been heavily linked with outfits in Russia, but he insists that he’d rather continue playing his football in Serie A.

“Zenit are an interested team, but I won’t sign anything until the end of August to keep my Italian options open.

“Money is not everything, I’m 24 now and I want to take a forward step in my career. In principle, I want to remain in Italy.

“Things would change if Inter were interested, while Milan are changing a lot and Napoli are a great club. These are all sides that have asked for information.

“However, Juventus and another club are the ones who are most concrete right now.”

Cagliari’s asking price was one of the reasons why Juventus looked elsewhere at the start of the year and he still won't come cheap.

“I think I’m valued at close to €15m, but Italian clubs would rather sign a Brazilian player for half of that amount…”

Is this guy doing a Hazard

He's a really good player but i'd much rather prefer Asamoah..At the moment they're asking 18m but we're offering 12m+counterparts.

God i am hoping they conclude this deal.Asamoah is a beast and far more versatile than Nainngolan.

not free, i think it was 4.5... still a profit but meh...

apparently we've lined up javi marquez as a replacement, which doesn't really make sense since he's more tino than topal but then god knows what the hell our transfer policy is...

[Mr Nick09]

well i expect you to go for Bruno, but none of those names quite fill the destroyer profile of Topal. just when he was really getting good...

#thfc look most likely to spring Demba Ba release clause. As I've already reported, expect Luuk De Jong in as replacement if he goes #nufc

Probably BS but meh, i dont want Ba to go but if he does Luuk De Jong is probably about as good as we can get.

We are not losing much quality from our front line if at all if that happens.

Your point? Demba Ba has proven he can score goals at this level as long as he's a CF.

He did it for West Ham and he did it for us until Cisse came in and we moved him outwide. ( hell he scored 15 goals before the new year)

He would be a good signing for them especially for 7m, i would be very annoyed if he were to go and want him to stay but he would be a good signing.

We are letting Altintop go for free. Great gesture from the club..

Naah.....I know you just wanted to protect Ba.

Would just be amusing for me to see spudz miss out AGAIN on CL.

[sportsczy]

Who is better... Ba or Adebayor?

[halamadrid2]

Adebayor imho

[Blue Barrett]

Adebayor imho

Must be avin a larf!

[halamadrid2]

don't rate Ba, and Adebayor functions both on the wings and up top its not his fault he is stuck up top with Defoe who is busy banging bimbos

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

I think Ba is a better goalscorer and all round forward but Adebayor is better at bringing people into play and probably has a more consistent first touch.

Depends on what you want IMO they both offer different things and both have pros and cons.

Ba would cost a lot less on the fee and wages front though.

[sportsczy]

Torres modeled his finishing last year and a half on Adebayor.... something to consider.

[Onyx]

Adebayor plays on the wings?

[halamadrid2]

I think Ba is a better goalscorer and all round forward

i'd like you to expand on this, how did you come to this conclusion???

[halamadrid2]

Adebayor plays on the wings?

yes when Lennon was injured Adebayor was deployed on the wings sometimes and did very well there

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

I think Ba is a better goalscorer and all round forward

i'd like you to expand on this, how did you come to this conclusion???

When Ba has played as a CF he usually has a 1 in 2 goal record and is lethal in front of goal and capable of scoring all different types of goals.....

He's drop off in form is due to playing outwide and having to do all the donkey work for Cisse.... thus tiring out as he isnt that fit.

He seems more lethal infront of goal to me when he's in a central position... while Adebayor i feel needs too many chances to convert but he is better at linking play and setting up chances for his team mates than Ba is.

[Adit]

Adebayor is easily better lol. He was very good for Spurs.
