All New Summer 2008 Transfer Merry Go Round/Rumour Mill

first 4 games and you will have atleast 2 key players injured guarenteed :p. i hope yas do a "little" bit better this year because its such a nicer place to live when the georidies arent in a mood :D
 
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR have announced the squad numbers for the 2008/09 Premiership season.

Kevin-Prince Boateng, Young-pyo Lee, Paul Stalteri and Adel Taarabt are all without a squad number.

Squad List
1 - Heurelho Gomes 2 - Alan Hutton 3 - Gareth Bale 4 - Didier Zokora 5 - David Bentley 6 - Tom Huddlestone 7 - Aaron Lennon 8 - Jermaine Jenas 9 - Dimitar Berbatov 10 - Darren Bent 11 - Gilberto 14 - Luka Modric 16 - Chris Gunter 17 - Giovani dos Santos 20 - Michael Dawson 21 - Cesar Sanchez 24 - Jamie O'Hara 26 - Ledley King 32 - Benoit Assou-Ekotto 39 - Jonathan Woodgate

Looks like we know who Spurs are trying to get rid of now. Looks like quite a small squad too.

Lots of number changes too. That's going to hack people who've bought a named shirt off something royal.

LOL. First 4 games we will have, 3 points, Owen out for 5 month and Barton will bite someone on the pitch! Newcastle don't do stress free! At least the Eagles are a class team!
 
Ledley King keeping the number 26, reminding him of how many games he misses every Premier League season.

Lol, dont be so cruel.

We have been keeping him wrapped in cotton wool in his very own oxygen tank over the summer, so he will only miss 20 games this season ;).

On a serious note, he looked very good on Sunday, confident on the ball and seemed to be able to move quite freely. Yes i know it was for only about 30-35 mins but that is better than nothing :)
 
My thoughts as well (hence allegedly); I have a suspicion that his basic will be much less, that was just a 'worst case scenario' if he'd bagged a load of performance bonuses.
 
Maybe. I do remember someone pointing out that Luca Toni wasn't on the list and apparently Bayern are paying him bucket loads.
 
I'll be fit to help Tottenham into top four, says King :D

Not a bad bet considering pre-season. I always like to put about a fiver's worth of £1 scorecasts if i'm going down the pub on a sunday... livens up the game no end even if i'm not interested in it. :o
 
The Bulgarian hitman has been edging ever closer to Old Trafford over the past few days, as negotiations between United and Spurs have entered the latter stages.

It has been reported that only a fee remains to be agreed, and that the eventual sum will likely be a compromise between the £25million offer and the £28million asking price.

However, the Lilywhites are reluctant to strengthen their Premier League rivals and are supposedly entertaining the option of selling to Barcelona instead.

But latest reports claim Berbatov is eager to join the Red Devils and has made his desire known to the men in charge at White Hart Lane.

"Dimi’s decided to put in a transfer request," a friend of the ex-Bayer Leverkusen player told The Sun.

"He can’t wait to go to Old Trafford and play for United.

"He feels he behaved professionally throughout this period. He has never spoken publicly on the situation out of respect for Tottenham.

"But he does not want to miss out on the start of United’s season and he feels that was his only option left."
