Marca say we had a 15 mil bid rejected for Greizmann.

 

Levy, show some fucking ambition plezzz

 

Not sure if we can compete with Monaco though

Tottenham Hotspur have identified Antoine Griezmann as the man they want to fill Gareth Bale’s boots, a year after the Welshman left White Hart Lane. But Spurs face a battle to land Griezmann, with Monaco interested in the French international and Chelsea also keeping a watching brief on the situation.

 

Tottenham are understood to have already made one bid for Griezmann, but have been told they will have to meet the £25 million buy-out clause in his Real Sociedad contract.

That still might not be enough, as Monaco could offer Griezmann Champions League football and much higher wages.

 

Tottenham did not buy a direct replacement for Bale after selling him to Real Madrid for £85 million last summer, instead trying to cover for his loss with a host of signings who enjoyed mixed fortunes.

Recognising that the team lack power and in the absence of Bale, Spurs have made signing a top-quality forward who can drift in from the left to create and score goals a priority. Griezmann has identified as that man, following an impressive season for Sociedad, where he scored 20 goals, and good performances for France in the World Cup.

 

Other than Monaco, Chelsea have looked at Griezmann and will play Sociedad in a pre-season friendly at Stamford Bridge on Aug 12.

 

Tottenham will hope that goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who is Griezmann’s captain for France, can help to convince the 23-year-old to join him in the Premier League at White Hart Lane. Lloris signed a new five-year contract with Spurs this month and spoke of the club’s ambition, which includes trying to sign Griezmann and another of his France team-mates, Morgan Schneiderlin.

 

Tottenham have also been looking at PSV Eindhoven left winger Memphis Depay in case they miss out on Griezmann. Spurs’ north London rivals Arsenal have also been looking at Southampton midfielder Schneiderlin, but the 24-year-old’s relationship with his former manager Mauricio Pochettino could be vital

.

“I think a manager like that is good for every club,” Schneiderlin said. “With the quality Tottenham have, Mauricio Pochettino will get the best out of each player.

“He came in and made Southampton play and now Tottenham have a great future.

“He improved me very much. He improved the whole squad and improved me as a player. He’s a great coach and good man and it’s a shame Southampton lost him.”

Having agreed deals to sign left-back Ben Davies and Michel Vorm from Swansea City, Tottenham allowed Gylfi Sigurdsson to leave their tour of the United States to complete his move back to the Welsh club.

i like Griezmann a lot tbh. but i dont see it happening

[Rsonist]

Zero chance of this

[LS]

Our Spanish speaking players are the way forward 

 

Him, Lamela, Lewis, Soldado and Falque were linking up nicely 

[Rsonist]

Vorm signed

[Bruno Di Gradi]

Vorm signed

that injury he got must of been a big one that can reoccur for him to be cool being second choice keeper. Unless they already mad an agreement with someone to tell Lloris next transfer window or its part of a deal for siggy to go back.

[The Infamous]

Schneiderlin started following us on twitter earlier

 

will prob sign for liverpool now

nah

[LS]

Can't announce anything till Sigs moves

 

In:

 

Davies

Vorm 

 

Out:

Livermore

Sigs

 

 

Dawson, Lennon, Rose, and Paulinho next please

 

New Cm, Winger, CB and back up LB

[LS]

Reckon Sandro could be the next one out

 

 

 

Same for Schneiderlin..

 

Fucking annoying, him and Moussa combo >

 

At least Sandro is a ball winner like Capoue.  Wtf does Paulinho bring to us defensively?  Not good enough to get ahead of Lamela/Eriksen/Lewis to play further up central.

 

We could fund a top winger with Paulinho ffs

[Rsonist]

fuck paulinho

if i see him start against west ham season over for me

[Lens]

 

something to look forward to

[Rsonist]

better than both lennon and townsend

[Bruno Di Gradi]

so what we looking?

 

---------------Lloris----------------

 

Walker---Vlad---Verts----Davies

 

-----------Sandro/Capoue--------

 

 

...

 

Midfield is Eriksen for certain. Lamela and Holtby...if holtby dont get sent out again.

 

Kane/Ade up top depending if we dont buy someone

[Posted July 24, 2014]

atm im thinking poch will play

 

Lloris

Walker - Verts - Kaboul/Vlad - Davies

Capoue

Eriksen - Dembele/Holtby

Lamela - Soldado - Lennon

 

dembele is questionable but i think poch will like him if hes fit, lets just hope paulinho doesnt come in and fuck things up.

 

Mason was very tidy last night so who knows if hes making an impression. Lennon always seems to be the managers pick and while our LW is so weak i think hell get the nod atm, unless he pushed eriksen lw and then brings another body in to cm

 

will be interesting anyway, cant really predict what main 11 he is gonna go with tbh

[LS]

 Rumours of Eric Dier from Sporting Club Portugal
