Transfer Deadline Day

Reports are saying that owen hargreaves is being tracked by spurs? whether this is true or not it shows a relectance by levy to invest in new players as he comes on a free.........looking for another club to deal him out years of salary by doing naff all.
Havent we learnt from the woodgate years, and our own ledley king.
Sure woodgate is fine at stoke at the moment but i doubt it will last.
What is levys problem at the moment, does he really want us to stay up with the prems top clubs or not?

Latest I heard on Hargreaves is that he's being chased by Man City.

Yep going to City to cover yaya toure when hes away at african cup of nations

1937: FOOTBALL:BBC Sport understands that talks between midfielder Owen Hargreaves and Manchester City are ongoing and any deal to sign the former Manchester United player would be performance related. It is also understood that Hargreaves' Champions League experience appeals to City manager Roberto Mancini.

Wouldnt have minded him on a pay as you play basis, jol wanted him years ago but he waited for man utd to come in for him.

Lew we have been desperate these past 9 months, so the answer to that question is yes

Ok lob, get rid of one big wage earner not playing (woody) for another one,
I suppose hargreaves might be over his injuries now, its a gamble worth taking as long as you get him on your terms, pay as you play.

To keep things tidy I have started this thread so posters can update any rumours or actual moves they discover thro' the day. I will move it to correct section tomorrow but it belongs in Spurs chat today so as we can easily keep tabs on whats happening (I will also tidy all the various threads that have started up over the last few days). Thanx guys . . . .

Chelsea have made a £30m move for Bayern Munich midfielder Franck Ribery after being frustrated by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy's tough stance over Luka Modric.

Tottenham have emerged as favourites to sign Bolton centre-back Gary Cahill after Arsenal pulled out of the running, and the Lilywhites are planning to offer cash plus Sebastien Bassong and David Bentley, although the Trotters are thought to want a cash-only deal.

Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra, a long-term target for Tottenham, is thought likely to join AC Milan on a season-long loan instead.

Tottenham and Fulham are monitoring Inter Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari, according to reports.

Stoke could turn their attention to Liverpool striker David N'gog if Spurs forward Peter Crouch continues to reject their attempts to bring him to the Britannia Stadium.

Liverpool are rumoured to be planning a bid for Tottenham's Croatian duo Vedran Corluka and Niko Kranjcar.

0822: And don't go thinking that just because there are still 14 hours and 40 minutes until the transfer window shuts that I don't already have actual, real-life, tangible news. Oh no. Usually ridiculously shy with the press, Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has broken his vow of silence to update us all on the Luka Modric situation. Linked all summer with a move to Chelsea, Modric - Redknapp insists - is going absolutely nowhere. Are you 100% sure, Redknapp is asked? "1,000,000% sure. He's staying."

0830: IN THE PIPELINE

Now then, who could be going where today then? Well it would appear Arsenal will tie up deals for Per Mertesaker, Andre Santos and Park Chu-young, Tottenham will wrap up their move for Scott Parker (at least), Shaun Wright-Phillips will join QPR, Joe Cole will switch to French side Lille, Aston Villa are in for Spurs full-back Alan Hutton, and arguably the most surprising of summer transfers - Manchester City will sign Owen Hargreaves on a free transfer. And that barely even scratches the surface.

HellesMammut80 on Twitter: "Genuine? A good friend of the brother of my oldest cousin's wife works at Heathrow and says he saw Lass Diarra...Harry Magic?"

0921: RUMOUR MILL

One man I've yet to mention today - Yossi Benayoun. The Israel midfielder Tweeted last night that he was due in London to sort out a transfer away from Chelsea, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham all reported to be in for him.

0950: And the Stoke news doesn't stop there... a deal for Wilson Palacios is very close, with a fee having been agreed with Spurs, personal terms agreed and the player has passed his medical. The transfer has stalled, however, because Tottenham are waiting to see who they get in. As for Peter Crouch - the Potters have held talks with Tottenham and still have an interest in the player, but they have got no further forward than that.

Hutton to Villa , on sky sports arry was quoted as saying crouchie will move on , bassong will go and maybe pav..hargreaves could come to spurs but when you have citeh in the frame hes more than likely to go to them, but for me i think its risky with his injury record

Porto reportedly to make a bid for Pav.

Cool, do a swap deal for Hulk along with some cash ...............


Levy might be able to squeeze an additional 10 million out of them!

Guisseppe rossi is having a medical at spurs and so is scott parker gary cahill is also on his way to spurs after agrreeing fee of 9 milllion and kaka is in london but he is at airport to spurs on loan deal. i live near the spurs lodge and i saw him going past and my freind works at airport.

Pav been linked to Sunderland Loughts face if Sunderland sign Pav and we keep Crouch

AidenWylie on Twitter: "Mario Ballotelli's player profile has been removed from the Man City website. He'll join Tottenham in a £14m deal today."

Leftfield or what ????

1039: Update now from BBC 5 Live's senior football reporter Ian Dennis: "Owen Hargreaves has passed the medical at Manchester City it's just a question of personal terms, I expect that to be completed by early afternoon. The Scott Parker to Tottenham deal should go through, I think they're still waiting on Palacios deal to go through. I don't know what's holding that up. Tottenham are interested in Gary Cahill, but may have to offload Younes Kaboul and Sebastian Bassong. Bolton I'm told are looking at Nedum Onuoha, so it's like a domino effect at this stage."

die_4_whufc on Twitter: "I am a Hammers fan hanging around Chigwell (Spurs training ground) Scott Parker has just pulled into the players car park "

This dude is some kind of wierdo . . . .

Is this what you expected lob ?
To tell the honest truth the owen hargreaves thread belonged to the transfer bollox, so i am quite flattered that it is still in main chat.
No problems, perhaps the server is getting overloaded.
