Negotiations Well Under Way For Andy Carroll

Good evening.

I tell you were I am. Thinking about that old Sherlock Holmes line.  When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Can you see Tottenham Hotspur Football Club playing £47M for Leandro Damiao? I love the old girl dearly but she wouldn’t rustle that up in a hurry if the roof on a stand fell in.

Negotiations for all the other striker options that have been doing the rounds for months on end now have been hanging on in there like a Jimmy Cagney death scene. I’m becoming increasingly convinced that brinkmanship isn’t a factor. The market is stagnant and that that’s more than half the battle.

Why? Well try this. Levy & Co. quite understandably lost a little ground due this summer due to private matters. Replacing Sir Blabbsalot wasn’t a task would have been undertaken lightly. To ship in Villas-Boas and leave him high and dry, despite what some wet hens have been clucking is not the plan.

Yes, Arsenal are spending. But you’re the most intelligent Tottingham readers in existence online, so I don’t need to tell you they need to in order sustain their business model. They don’t want to. But after Nasri, Fibreglass and now Van Pervert what possible choice do they have to keep selling repayments seats to the Emptycrates?

This is from a brand new source @Journo_London. Brand new?! Could this be hood-winkery?! And the suggestion is that a number of signings are only days away. Andy Carroll ‘done bar the shouting’.

My belief is that a) I have no beliefs and b) this is very plausible based upon a process of elimination as per Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s and common sense. Will it happen? Not long until we find out, that is for sure. 

It seems obvious that Adebayor has gone from really wanting to be a Spurs player to really wanting to screw Manchester City on the way out the Out Door.

We need a striker and anyone who genuinely believes Levy & Co. are more concerned about saving a couple of million quid than getting us fixed up are giving me a migraine.

    He’s got a good head on him – bit like Ben Alnwick.

  • Eyeball Paul says:

    The Eyeballer is getting a little worried ….. as usual Spurs are keeping us fans on the brink of cardiac arrest…

    Some random points to note:
    1. Kane scored a hat-trick yesterday for a Spurs XI against Southend – he has had a pretty good pre-season, in Eyeballer’s eyes

    2. Most likely, we will not have a new striker in place before Toon time

    3. If Andy carroll were to sign, what a first game for him to be involved in!

    4. The Eyeballer would like us to sign Sturridge if possible, loan then permanent would do just dandy

    5. This Coubilly fella seems to be the bizzness, too. I hope he is edging towards a first team squad placement

    6. The Eyeballer’s Spurs team to face Toon:
    Grandad
    BAE Vert-long-one Kaboom Walker
    Sandro Hudd
    Bale GILF Lennon
    Defoe

    Earlier this week I read about the disappearing Cameroon olympians.

    Are we still allowed to play Benoit if he becomes invisible?

  • clive rigby says:

    So let me get this clear then, AVB is the beginning of a new modern attacking Spurs with sofistication and ingenuity to burn……….and Andy Carroll is to be a vital part of this transformation?
    I’ve been a long suffering supporter for over 50yrs, but this has got to be the funniest ( saddest? ) piece of news I can recall in that time. Hopefully it’s just part of the silly season that precedes the real stuff.
