Summer 2013 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

[cahspur]

Serious question for you (from a fellow American): You came to Spurs because of Dempsey, if I remember correctly (?)...will you stick with Spurs if he leaves or will you move on to Everton or Liverpool or Monaco or wherever he goes?

I will stay. I fell in love with a great many things about the club very quickly. That having been said, would hate to see Clint leave.

:gallas: That's not an actual answer...

(This question was mostly directed at WHITE&BLUE , who's been more overt about his reasons for Spurs, but I appreciate your response...as someone who came to Spurs long before Dempsey arrived, I hope you stick with it)

I initially started following when Brad was picked up. Enjoyed watching the club. Signing Dempsey did push me "over the top" but after this season...with nights like West Ham away, and Lyon at home, I won't be leaving if Clint is sold.

Granted my origins to the club are not hereditary or geographic, it doesnt take anything special to notice something great is happening at WHL and something as superficial as a player being traded isn't enough to sway my (and hopefully most people's) allegiance.

Ps. Business is business. Free markets baby!

I don't want to sound alarmist or anything...but if this thread continues at its current rate, we may very well reach 400 before the new kits "drop" and before any signing. I am up for the challenge.

Im fucking glad thats not in the new kit thread.

Well, looks like we have gotten Jedvaj and Halilovic.

Neither club has confirmed, but just a short while ago I read an article with quotes (I know right!!!) from the Chairman confirming that they had been sold for E20m, but wouldn't say to whom.

Here we go:

Mirko Barisic has confirmed the promising young duo are set to be sold this summer, though he insists at least one of them will remain on loan for another season
Dinamo Zagreb president Mirko Barisic has revealed Tim Jedvaj and Alen Halilovic are set to leave the club amid mounting speculation linking them with a summer move to Tottenham.

The 17-year-old duo have attracted interest from several of Europe's top clubs since breaking into the Dinamo first team, and Goal understands Spurs are leading the chase.

Barisic admits he is resigned to losing both this summer, but insists he is hoping to keep at least one of his prized assets on loan for another year as part of any deal.

"We agreed with their future club, that one of them remains at least another year with us," Barisic toldSportske Novosti.

"For now we cannot confirm to which club they are going but it is true that they are both leaving.

"It is just too early to talk about the club which bought them. We will confirm that when everything will be sorted out.

"The transfer fee? 20 million euros (£17m) is - let us put it this way - the right number."

Speaking of double swoops - remember when Utd signed Tosic and Ljajic - the latter never arrived at all

 

[truetomyself]

£17m for two 17-year-olds? :harryblow:. Madness. I don't think it was us who bought them.

That's about 8.5m a piece with a potential for double/triple profit

Does seem that way, right?

With Paulinho and Villa, we're certainly making a statement of intent this window.

Or potential loss of £17m.

So (tying this in with the ITK) Alen Halilovic will be coming this summer, with Tim Jedvaj to follow later..after we've nursed Kaboul through the season.

Possibly. If it is us that have brought them..

Has to be my new favorite gif, although the Levy dance one is tough to beat...

 

[josh_spurs]

£44m reportedly being spent then, how much more do we think will? (If we do spend the 44)

 

[vadimivich]

£17m for two 17-year-olds? :harryblow:. Madness. I don't think it was us who bought them.

One of them already plays for the Croatian senior side. And played in the CL last season. He's ... um, ridiculously talented.

£17m isn't a bad amount for the chance to land potentially one of the next great players in Europe.

The reports that I've just read were the other way around. Jedvaj joining us now and Halilovich next year.
