With half an hour to go I am still sitting here with my fingers crossed that Harry and Levy have been quiet because they are up to something but when a deal is on the cards it’s very rare for reporters to not pick up on it.
We have now confirmed we have loaned Giovani dos Santos to Racing Santander. That now means we have loaned out Keane, Gio, O’Hara and Bentley this month and when you add that to our youngsters out on loan it’s criminal that we look unlikely to sign anyone tonight.
Our first time in the Champions League and our real chance to push on. I wouldn’t want the board to over do it and bankrupt the club until we were an established top four side. However it was clear for everyone to see in the summer we needed a striker but we didn’t get one, it became even clearer after the first half of the season that it was a big mistake not getting a striker at all costs. The same thing is now looking ever more likely to happen again and to top it all off we have now loaned half of our team out, our subs bench will not be half as strong as it was when you take in to consideration our injury problems.
Sure we are still a top team and we have come a long way, as for another top four finish, I would say forget it, the top teams all have good strikers, we don’t! and that will prove to be the difference.
Just hoping for a last minute surprise, we can only hope.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Nothing happening at all, shocking, can’t believe it, wasn’t too optimistic when I heard Rossi could be joining but I would bite their hand off for that now. Seriously disheartened.
what are you talking about…we signed Pienaar a player that we don’t need.
Whe you look at what Liverpool and Chelsea are doing and yes it is silly money but thats the price of Champions League Football, then look at us. Down to 3 strikers now none of which can score and the one who does every now and again does not get a game. Watch the slide down the table.
I seriously question the ambition of Harry and Mr Levy. I dont want them to bankrupt Spurs either but this situation has been there for months and there has been plenty of time, is it Harry holding back for a better deal all the time? Or does he really think our strikers are good enough?
He has said it on live TV, what will the excuse be at the end of the season?
Guys, we don’t need to spend that amount of money on Carrol- David Villa cost the same amount- Liverpool are just wasting a lot of money!
his excuse at the end of the season will be “spurs had 2points after 8 games when i got here”!!!!
Well we are at risk of bankruptcy simply because of the purchase of Pienaar, who we certainly didn’t need! Sometimes I just think Levy’s a law unto himself…
Not a chance we have ballsed this one right up, I would even take elmander from Bolton at this point, ffs sign a centre forward.
yeah i agree there, he’s better than our current lot
Well we’ve officially ballsed it up now.
End of season starts now fellow yiddos/-ettes.
Last minute nothing. Rossi is still a rumour but ain’t gonna happen. We have injuries, suspensions, players off form. We have done well up to now and maybe we need to rely on players hitting form (by players I clearly mean the 3 strikers). That said, I am very worried about the rest of the season but Defoe will get the goals soon but not convinced he will with VdV behind him. 442 is the future.
Wasted opportunity. Will be lucky to finish fifth this season.
Cant believe whats happening! We will struggle to hold on to 5th with Liverpool making 2 good signings! Champions League football finally at the lane and we show no ambition! I’m gutted!
I seriously don’t get this constant whining. We score goals for fun in the champs league and the premiership, why do we need to panic buy now for a striker? There’s no-one good enough that it available at the top level. Suarez scored goals in Dutch domestic football, but f’all in champs league at Ajaz. Carroll is completely unproven. You wanted to seriously splash £17mio on 31 year old diego forlan? You forget that we have VDV and Defoe who have hardly player together due to defoe’s injuries and suspensions. For f’s suck, the constant dribble of whining is boring.
Couldn’t agree more, we don’t need a panic buy like Rasiak for £30million
Rasiak would be better than Crouch.
Agreed. We don;t have to panic. Trust the current players who fight for the 4th placing last season. We will only gets better, and attract great players at the end of this season.
Like Harry said, it was kind of a miracle that we achieve 4th last season.
We are moving forward. Have faith people!!
“We score goals for fun…”
Perhaps you should do it seriously then. Currently in 8th place in goals scored behind Mighty Blackpool. Soon to be 9th place behind Liverpool given the signings there today…. I quite enjoy spurs for the entertainment value, but scoring dynamos? I don’t think so.
harry will loss his job soon and he will wish he got that forward.
I love to kick that fuck out of them two ball bags tonight,we are getting no one and will be left behind by the chavs,bin dippers.levy can fuck off to east London and take Harry with him.
Westbelfastyid- i COULDN’T AGREE MORE WITH YOU MATE!! I AM SO FUCKING UPSET, I THINK I’M GONNA KILL SOMETHING!
Maybe now some of you doom-mongers will get a grip and start to enjoy life a bit more. A great result tonight and with a team devastated by injury. FFS start supporting and stop whining.
