AVB, Vertonghen & Huntelaar All On The Way?!

Hello.

This, if true is extraordinary. From a chap on Facebook in this Tottenham group you can view here. Fingers and everything else crossed, eh?

  • Tim Sherwood will be appointed as Director of Football at White Hart Lane next week. This is a promotion from the position of academy director- This evolution has been on the cards for 18 months.
  • Levy decided to bite the bullet last week, sticking to his original plan which had been drawn up in expectation of HR leaving to take on England and make the change largely in light of Sherwood’s outstanding work with the youths.
  • Andre Villas Boas will join on a 2 year contract worth less than 1m euro per year with another 2.5m payable per season in bonuses. This information is direct from the inside WHL.
  • Sherwood has known AVD for 5 years having met the Portuguese when both were enrolled on a course aimed at furnishing them with their UEFA Licenses, they have a similar philosophy and the duo will be charged with promoting youth ahead of experience, much like Roman Abramovich tasked AVB with at Chelsea last season. 
  • AVB was hung out to dry by Chelsea last season, he was under instruction to dispense with the old boys at the bridge and he was given no support in doing this, it was his opinion that such drastic changes would necessitate acceptance of a short period without any remarkable success and a season of aclimatisation would be required. 
  • Abramovich at first accepted this but was pressured by the media to get rid and he buckled. Bare in mind that CFC paid 12m for AVB and at the time he was considered the continent’s finest young coach. We are getting a great deal here, I am fully committed to Levy’s vision. 
  • Levy flies back in to the UK on Monday after spending Sunday in Holland where I imagine he is trying to tie up the deals for Vertonghen and also investigate the procedures that will follow on from any possible transfer of Klass Jan Huntelaar. 
  • Ajax retain a stake in the striker despite the fact that his move to Schalke was his third full term contract and third club since leaving Amsterdam, the Dutch side are due 20% of any future transfers that Huntelaar is involved with and Levy will be sure to try and use this in negotiations for Vertonghen. 
  • As I said, done deal not News International bullshit.

    Huntelaar just seems a little older than DL is normally prepared to pay big bucks for.

    you start off with ‘if true’ and end with ‘done deal’ – which is it? how avb, mr look into my soul when you score, is better than harry i’ll never know. you’re far too reactionary harry hotspur. far too click-desperate. stay away avb, you seem to be too muppet.

    • Harry Hotspur says:

      Geoff, in your haste to have a pop, you didn’t actually read what was written did you?

      I wrote the intro and then the rest is from the chap on Facebook.

        The question mark gives it away.

        I like a quiz on a Saturday afternoon during the close season.

        :shocked2:

        I’m like a kid with this emoticon. Love it!

        :shocked2: :shocked2: :shocked2: :shocked2:

        i’ll give you that one mr hotspur. apologies. but how can you be so convinced with this guy? did he not humiliate himself with his lack of composure? good forbid we bring back a DOF too. have the3y ever worked in england? i feel in sherwood levy’s hiring a yes man.

        • mynameisluka says:

          That was nice of you Geoff.
          ANY change will lead to uncertainty.
          However, AVB does has a vision of how the game should be played. If anything, Chelsea humiliated him by not supporting him when senior pro’s were obviously acting the maggot behind the scenes.
          He is a talent, which has been recognised by many managers in the field. He is a proven winner, as his time at Porto shows.Throw in the two signings mentioned and it could galvanize the team.
          Heres hoping!

  • Colin SC says:

    Wow, this sounds better than I expected. We could be on a high going into the new season with this. I hope all the new parts of the team get together and meld as a team before the season starts.

  • BrizzleSpur says:

    Another very provocative headline. As the chap above said, let’s hope it comes to fruition as I can see the vast majority of Spurs fans appreciating the switch up.

  • Cecil Gaybody says:

    Please not that little man in the raincoat.
    AVB failed with unlimited funds , with our
    Fagin transfer policy , God help us.
    Levy must be in the pocket of the deadly
    Kleptocrat to make such disaster.
    Chav’s plan to cripple Spurs will be complete.

    Keep it up
    Cecil
