Every.

Center back? check
Good on the ball? check

Barca must be in for him  

It's not just that though. It's not as though Barca are linked with EVERY CB with decent on-the-ball skills in EVERY window. They're linked with some in some and others in others. But with Agger it's the same thing EVERY window and they don't even bother to alter the supposed price.

Dude it's just a rumor. They link us with ROONEY ffs. Don't believe everything you read

We're well aware it's a rumour. That's exactly what we're saying (hence the word "linked" rather than "targeted" and the comment on the price that's been quoted. It is a RUMOUR that is recycled every single transfer window. I really am beginning to worry about your reading comprehension skills...

I was never a fan of this, so thank god to Pathetico for saving Spurs from Villa

That was actually one of the options, but the main offer was cash plus Di Maria and Coentrao. Either would of been a perfect move for Spurs.

Still my preferred option for Spurs, and I know it was being talked about a while ago.

In the end I have a feeling we'll end up with Benteke and no quality back up striker except Dempsey (who obviously isn't a striker). I wish we would just keep Defoe, still think he's perfect as a back up, and when he's on good form he's among the best in the world.

 Liverpool and 12m offer for Alonso

For being an admin, you are a bit of a douche. Stop taking things so personally for literally no reason. I didn't say you believed it was coming from the club, I was hinting to just leave ignore it like I ignore the Rooney rumors.

For the record Liverpool is my favorite English club...

But yea lets stay on topic

aahh kids these days....

RedO doesn't take anything personally lol

I wouldn't mind Defoe being sold tbh. He's not of much use to Tottenham any more as far as I'm concerned. I'd rather bring Adebayor in these days than Defoe. Defoe, for how many times commentators will continue to associate the word "clinical" with him, is no better a finisher than Ade, and takes more shots, is more selfish, and offers less overall. I still think there is good in Adebayor yet, despite last season perhaps proving I shouldn't think that.

But Tottenham should keep both tbh. Dempsey shouldn't have to play striker. That shows a shocking lack of depth.

I kinda prefer Osvaldo to Benteke. I'd be happy with either, though it's not the Higgy or Villa I think Tottenham needs.

Epoto wrote: Liverpool and 12m offer for Alonso

Wouldn't mind him coming for around half of that. He is a 'tactician' after all so he fits the Rodgers bill. Just have to get it passed FSG now.

Don't think he'll come to Liverpool though. Gerrard has Alonso's position now. And Stevie is pretty much doing the job for us.

For Spurs, would you like Osvaldo or Negredo more?

If Alonso ever does come back to Pool I hope it's in a managerial capacity. My goodness his good looks alone will win us the CL

Benteke could be the one striker target that Tottenham will actually manage to sign. But damn, if Aston Villa lose the player they are starting to look quite weak.

Dont see Jovetic rejecting City but if he somehow does ,then we can see another Lewandowski situation developing.

Alonso has already stated that he will not be returning to the PL this season.

I haven't seen enough of Osvaldo to judge him much.

Despite how he did this year (and he does decently every year), I don't particularly rate Negredo that high.

Osvaldo is cheaper as well.

Callejon to Napoli. 4 year deal. Second Benitez signing. They've also rumoured for Brazilian keeper.

Both Napoli and Roma want Strootman.

Why would he do that.  

Benfica coach Jorge Jesus is resigned to losing star midfielder Nemanja Matic this summer.

The Serb is interesting Real Madrid and former club Chelsea.

"Of course Matic's exit worries me," Jesus told Benfica TV.

"When he came to Portugal he was on the periphery at Chelsea. We thought that he had potential. In the two years that followed we worked with him and made him the player he is today, highly coveted by the biggest clubs in the world."

"It is not easy to replace a player with the quality of Matic, but last season I was in tougher situations after the exits of Javi Garcia and Witsel."

"I wish he didn't leave, but I know that is almost impossible, given the demand there is for him."

Just a hunch, but it might be because he won't be returning to the PL this season.

Thats a bit on the high side but Torino will be buying Juve's 50% of Immobile in a seperate deal so i guess that evens it out.

I hope they pull out of the Immobile deal.  

Hate co-ownership deals.

y ?

Wonder where Jovetic is headed to.

Fiorentina have just signed Gomez. That would mean a club is close to signing Jovetic. Or how else could they afford Mario.
