AVB signed mata and mata has played with soldado. even so, why would chelsea sell their best player? unless mourinho doesn't rate him. if mata gets benched for long periods over the season, it will be interesting to see what happens. he's one of the best players in the league and should be on show every time.
 
Tottenham Hotspur and Roma have both taken huge strides to shore up their ranks, with Erik Lamela set to arrive in London tomorrow and Adem Ljajic expected in the Italian capital soon.

According to Sky Italia, Lamela is inches away from sealing a move to Spurs, who recently lost Anzhi Makhachkala winger Willian to Chelsea.

Willian's transfer came despite the player undergoing a medical, but as long as Gareth Bale's transfer goes through Spurs should be in a position of strength.

Lamela's agent is believed to have already travelled to London to complete the transfer, and all that remains is for the player himself to catch a flight out.

Spurs' acquisition of Lamela from Roma was quickly filled up back in Italy, with Ljajic all but certain to sign with Rudi Garcia's side.

The 21-year-old is understood to be the subject of a euro 12m deal with various add-ons included that eventually swayed Fiorentina.

Ljajic had been heavily courted by AC Milan and Liverpool in the summer, with Fiorentina initially reluctant to let him go.

However, it seems La Viola will accede to selling Ljajic with events set to proceed quickly once Fiorentina finish their season opener tonight.

Fiorentina will take on Catania in their first Serie A game of the season, though it is not clear yet if Ljajic will be given one last chance to turn out in their colours.

These offers must have gone to Bale's head. Thinks he's Ronaldo now...

Nope none so far:p...dont worry i feel your pain as an Arsenal fan..kept hanging by the possibility of possibly, maybe signing a few players.

So far according to the SSN transfer list we are bottom along with Newcastle and another team who have all spent a grand total of £0:p. Utd have seemed to have spent £2.4mill on someone though or maybe im wrong :o

Chelsea this evening have presented a new bid for Rooney. Manchester United still have not answered. Seems Chelsea is very confident

Just have Mata & Rooney swap shirts at the end of the game. IMAGINE THE WORLD EXPLODING AT THAT.
 
lamela would be class for spurs, given AVBs penchant for 4-3-3. Though the problem in the past few seasons has been having no wingers on the bench when lennon gets injured or bale needed a rest, that's why i'm stoked about this chadli guy, even if he's average he's an option, wingers and strikers are the main players you bring on to change a game and finally spurs are getting a few in (+townsend)

though we still need a creative mid,
 
United going to put in another bid this time just for Fellaini. I just hope we don't spend over £10m on McCarthy!

Gareth Bale's move to Real Madrid put on hold by Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur could now delay the sale of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid until after Sunday’s north London derby against Arsenal.

Spurs are adamant that despite agreeing a deal in principle to sell Bale to Real for £90 million (€105million — €5million more than was expected) they will not release the forward until a replacement is signed.

There is little doubt that Bale will be a Real player for a world-record fee by the time that the transfer window closes on Sept 2 but senior sources suggested on Monday night it could go into the final two days of the window. Real had hoped to unveil the player today.

Real have negotiated a straight cash deal with Spurs having also discussed the possibility of selling players to them as part of the negotiations.

The Premier League club, despite reaching an agreement at a summit meeting last Wednesday involving Real president Florentino Pérez, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, technical director Franco Baldini and Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett, will not be railroaded into an announcement.

Spurs ratified the deal over the weekend even though Levy continued to insist there was no financial pressure to sell Bale despite a summer of heavy spending. Instead, Spurs accept there is no point keeping the 24-year-old, who is determined to leave, especially as Real are prepared to bid so high

The timetable has been slowed by Spurs’ failure to sign Willian, whose move to White Hart Lane was hijacked by Chelsea in a £30 million deal. Spurs would like to sign Juan Mata — who was left out of Chelsea’s starting XI for last night’s league match away to Manchester United — but know that a bid would be rebuffed.

Spurs have agreed a payment schedule with Real, with the Spanish giants having agreed to covering the fee in three bullet payments. If they were to renege on the agreement the fee would rise substantially, although if they were to pay up early they would receive a discount.

Bale is due back in London today having spent the Bank Holiday weekend in Malaga ahead of his move and Spurs have taken a dim view of Real erecting scaffolding at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, in preparation for an unveiling, and also selling Bale No11 shirts.

Nevertheless the deal is expected finally to go ahead and Tottenham’s claim yesterday that at least one more bid had been received for the Wales *international has been greeted with scepticism.

Manchester United manager David Moyes last night said he had not bid for Bale, but added: “I said at the start, when I got the job, that Manchester United would always be interested in the best players.

"We are always looking to try to improve the team, the owners have given me the opportunity to bring in whoever I want, so we continue to look at those players. It has been tough in this window, but we are always looking at the best players.”

Paris St-Germain did not respond to requests for comment on whether they had bid, while Manchester City also have the clout to meet the asking price but insisted they had made no such move. Bale has also set his heart on a move to Real and Levy does not want to sell to another Premier League club.

Spurs are, however, determined to sign a high-profile replacement for Bale before releasing the player, with talks ongoing to secure the Roma winger Erik Lamela in a deal worth up to £30million.

The 21-year-old was expected to fly to London today to finalise a five-year contract, with Tottenham paying an initial £25.8 million plus a potential £4.2million in add-ons.

Lamela was an unused substitute in Roma’s 2-0 victory over Livorno at the weekend, fuelling speculation his move to Spurs was imminent.
Spurs would want another player in addition to the Argentina international and have discussed a move for Brazilian international Hulk, who plays for Zenit St Petersburg.

Bale is expected to agree a six-year deal at Real worth around £8.5 million a season and Spurs have played hardball in securing bank guarantees from Real having earlier been doubtful of the funding of the deal.

Real played away to Granada last night and are at home to Athletic Bilbao on Sunday in what had been hoped would be Bale’s debut appearance. That might now be delayed, depending on who Spurs sign.
Spurs have also reached agreement to acquire central defender Vlad Chiriches from Steaua Bucharest for around £8 million.

Meanwhile, Roberto Soldado, Tottenham Hotspur’s £26million record signing, has predicted that Andre Villas-Boas’s side will be “strong and competitive” this season even without Bale and promised that there was much more to come from the new-look team.

The club have recorded three straight wins while Bale has been pushing for his move, and Soldado has already put himself forward as the new hero of the Spurs fans by scoring four goals, including match-winners against both Crystal Palace and Swansea.

Ahead of Sunday’s game against Arsenal, he said: “The first few games I think are the hardest of the season and we have played well, but we can still improve a lot.

"I think this is quite a strong squad and a competitive team. It’s the most beautiful derby, the one with the biggest rivalry for Tottenham and I can’t wait to play in this environment.”
