What do we do IF Gareth Bale leaves Spurs?

As you may know according to reports Gareth Bale is close to leaving Spurs and joining Real Madrid but, the reason I blog about this especially and not any of the other many transfers is because it's not in anyway shape or form a normal transfer because if the transfer of Gareth Bale goes ahead it will be the most expensive transfer in football history! Gareth is valued at £100million by Spurs manager AVB and in many interviews other managers such as Laudrup, Ancelotti and even Arsene Wenger have agreed that Gareth is worth up to a whopping £100million. 100 million pounds could buy a club a whole new team and not a bad one either, I'm confident in AVB and Daniel Levy (club chairman) that if Bale goes they will make the most of the summer transfer window and sign some more players like they have done recently signing 3 great players; Paulinho, Chadli and Soldado !

No one knows exactly who AVB has his eyes on but I'm sure he has a wide range of possibilities if his prize possession does happen to leave the club.

Here are some of the rumoured targets and players I think would do the club well and achieve our targets:

Fabio Contraeo
Luis Suarez
Erik Lamela
Vlad Chiriches
Daniel Opare
Bernard
Luka Modric

You need to check my new blog on this subject today for my opinions on all of the players and I'll make sure you like it ! Remember, it's brilliant if you can comment your opinions on my blogs!

News Today 02/08/13

Atletico Miniero President has revealed that Spurs have made a £15.7 million bid for Arsenal target Bernard.

Reports are saying that a deal of £105 million for Gareth Bale has been agreed from Real Madrid.

Carlton Cole is currently training with Spurs.

Daniel Levy has ruled out a move for Modric in a Bale deal.

Spurs have stopped their interest in Chiriches and instead are now focusing on Lamela.

Soldado Transfer Completed !!!

This morning Spurs made an official statement saying "We are delighted to announce that we have reached an agreement with Valencia for the transfer of Roberto Soldado subject to medical." This finally means that as long as Soldado passes the medical we finally have that World Class striker we have been looking for. The fee is £26 million which is the players release clause but was also believed to have been triggered a while back but the deal could not go through because of certain difficulties with the players agent.

I am so glad that we have a striker of Soldado's level at the club again. Since Berbatov left we have been missing a class striker and finally we have him. This deal may not only get us goals next year but could also tempt Bale to stay as it shows that Spurs have an intention to win. If Bale does stay the better Soldado will be, with Bale whipping in the balls we finally have that man who can win the header and put the ball in the back of the net. I cannot wait to see Soldado in a Spurs shirt.

Here's what to expect from our new signing !!!

Caulker leaves for Cardiff !!!

This came to a bit of a surprise to me as Tottenham Hotspur agreed to sell promising young centre back Steven Caulker to Cardiff City for a reported fee of £9 million which is Cardiff's transfer record.

The former Spurs player has already completed a medical and has agreed a four year deal. The Welsh side were reported interested in Steven Caulker but it seemed like they were going to find it extremely hard to get the player with Manchester City and Liverpool looking at the player but surprisingly they landed the young centre back but for a hefty price. After signing he said "I'm delighted to be here and excited for this fresh challenge.

To be honest I am disappointed we have let the youngster go, I think he has great potential and could become a legend but £9 million is too big an offer to refuse. I think he will do well at Cardiff as he will get regular playing time unlike if he was at Spurs where he will be on the bench for most of the time and I wish the best of luck to him and hopefully we will see him performing great in an England top.
