Good afternoon ladies.
A journalist for Russia Today a Mr Aleksey Yaroshevsky told talkSPORT earlier that he understands from his Ukrainian sources that we have agreed a deal with Shaktar Donetsk for the services of Willian.
Whilst certain sectors of the media were quick to run with the old, ‘rejected bid’ spiel this may well prove yet again to be a case journos simply making stuff to fill column inches.
Is he worth £20m? At this stage my immediate response has to be who cares. A long term target of the boss. Get the boy in.

I see that quotes accredited to me appear on a another Spurs blog. To say these quotes have been doctored would be flattering. Then if my blog was 30,000 places behind his [according to Alexa.com] and if I was an insecure bed-wetter then maybe I’d behave like that. On an upbeat note I got the emails in earlier today confirming that the same gang of illiterate hyenas are now being pursued by various bodies for both content violations and abuse of usage terms.
Lots of ways to skin a cat especially a stupid one. My preferred method is always with an unfeasibly sharp knife.
Willian would be a good start. I’d like to see Lloris and M’Vila follow him.
Im very confident that we will be getting Lloris!
What is the point of spending 15 mil on a goalkeeper when we have friedel who is still top draw ? Has dembele set the prem alight ? Scores less then modric. Remy also mediocre. M’vila ? another defensive midfielder on top of Sandro,Livermore,Parker ? Enough mediocreties and lets buy Damiao!
Maybe because Friedel is 42 and we have the chance to grab a genuinely world class goalie
And livermore is doing it for you is he?
Friedel (41) is still top draw so a goalkeeper is not urgent (as he showed against WBA). And when Parker is fit you think M’vila is better then Sandro or Parker ? If Spurs sign Willian only one other central MF will play along side hime. Lloris world class ? How many times have you seen him play (apart from Youtube clips I mean) ??
Ps. Just heard on SkySport Italia a certain Mr Berbatov has to deciede between Fiorentina and……Tottenham.
And seeing as how you think Friedel is old and over the top Spurs are in contact with that other spring chicken Del Piero (37) also sky italia
Dembele is a class performer you only had to see his performance in the 3-2 loss to man it’d he will sit in the middle creating
I think willian tell will replace Lennon on the wing and will have end product
Have faith whatever the season holds avb is a class above the twitcher
I would love to see Dembele on board. Class act
100% agreed! I would have somehow favored Pjanic but that wasn’t a reality. Willian will do just fine. He has a lot of pace and skill. I still wish we had someone to give Lennon competitiuon on the right. Lennon has some skill and plenty of pace but unfortunately isn’t a very good goal scorer.
If Gio only had his head on his shoulders, he would have been an excellent match on the right. A left footed player that can cut inside the 18 and blast it with his left boot. Now I hope we can land M’Vila along with Lloris and hopefully Remy. We can count Damaio coming to the Lane. I wonder if this Anderson and Nani thing is just smoke without fire?
FIRST
Has the utter futility of this not struck you yet?
Last
:daumen:
Middle bit
Wrong.
Fail
Epic Fail in fact
Does Epic by Faith No More count?
2nd is the new first!
You’d know about being second best.
Fourth. As in: go fourth and multiply… (sic)
We certainly need too.
ninty neinff
Ran away
Not knowing much about the player but sure looks good on youtube, but then again so did pav. From what we see saturday surely a striker is needed as well as a modric replacement. Coys ttid
Is Willian really a Modric replacement? Seems more like a VdV/Lennon hybrid to me.
Only player I have heard us linked with who could be classed as a Modric replacement of sorts is Dembele who has a release clause of £15 million.
Spot on i would Love Dembele!!!
He’s like Lennon. But good.
Ha!
I hope he is better than he looks on YouTube….normally those type of videos make the player look like Messi on steroids but Willian’s one make him look like an enthusiastic park player, lots of energy, no end product….maybe they were just bad nights?
Very harsh :angry:
So what should we do with the little rat Lennon if this so called Class act joins??
You pretty much hit the nail on the head there, he would still be a class edition though if we did get a modric type replacement as well. Dembele would be my choice.
Dembele is good. You like him, then what about these 3 players that I think are better.
Name: Paulo Henrique Ganso
Ctry: Brazil
Team: Santos
Age: 22
Pos: Attacking Midfield
Sta: 10 goals, 59 appearances
Name: Éver Banega [Nickname: Tanguito
Ctry: Argentina
Team: Valencia
Age: 24
Pos: Attacking Midfield
Sta: 1 Goal, 24 appearances
Name: Ander Herrera
Ctry: Spain
Team: Athletic Bilbao
Age: 23
Pos: Attacking Midfield
Sta: 1 Goal, 32 appearances
I wish Spurs would have taken a long hard look at these three young stars.
Do you think we’d get Ganso or Herrera for less than £15 mil? Don’t think so and Dembele has already proven himself in the prem so there’s less risk! I didn’t mean that Dembele would be my first choice out of all the creative midfielders on the planet, just of the ones that Spurs can afford, and Dembele fits the bill. Plus he has impressed in a Fulham team, so imagine how good he could be playing with our superior players.Here’s hoping!
LOL x 15
A VdV/Lennon hybrid? Good one. Maybe you’re right. Modric wasn’t a goal scorer anyway. That’s why I thought Pjanic or Nani if the latter were inspired would be a great fit, then maybe we could try Willian on the right (If that could work). After we land Lloris and M’Vila, we can try bringing over Remy or Sturridge or both.
So does Jxxxx, but Wills is Brazilian so that’s a start!
We could use Pav about now
LOL
RASIAK
Armstrong!
I had assumed Willian ‘bids’ were a smoke screen to distract from Dembele pursuit; but may be wrong. Both would be great!
Please sign Dembele, I think he’d be perfect for us.
Plus, we might be able to include Bentley and/ or the man with no name in the deal.
TMWNN?
Take him!
:-D
You’ve started something now. Wait for the eruption!
:-p
:finn:
All good here, bar for the usual lateness. Levy, whatever of you think of him, always backs the new man with the sale of other players.
…Bruxie, you’re not a real Spurs fan, you’re from up in Northshire.
Didn’t you know?
:sick:
Yes get Dembele in and off Road the Tarts. Anyway the the New Training Ground Looks Awesome!
Northshire…
The home of footballing greats.
If you came from Darlo then you too would look south!
