3 years ago we were owned by them Texan pricks. Three years before that we were owned by that Scouse div. In three years we'll be owned by someone else again. Every time it changes hands the accounts reset to zero anyways. Who gives a fuck? Get good players in and win stuff.

Brilliant.
 
@XimoVCF: Reports in Valencia from @ElPartitdeR9 and @FranGuaita. Tottenham have contacted Salvo. Seems like they're willing to pay €30m for Soldado.

Thats probably him off the list then

Me dicen q en breve se hará oficial traspaso Roberto Soldado . Pagan la cláusula. Gran gestión consejo administración.

One of valencia's directors saying release clause has been matched and he's off ... It's most likely Spurs.
 
The 28-year-old is believed to have a four-year contract with the Premier League side lined up and only the finer points to how Tottenham pay his transfer fee are still to be negotiated.

Spurs are understood to have initially requested paying Soldado’s €30m to Valencia in two instalments of €15m, but are seen now as pushing to extend the second €15m due over a period of years.

It was a scenario that last night prompted President Amadeo Salvo to warn that the player will travel out with the rest of the squad for the US segment of preseason on Thursday, if a deal was not reached by then.

Superdeporte understand that a dispute over money owed on commission in a previous deal between Valencia and the agency that provides Soldado’s representatives has delayed the Spurs move.

Club President Amadeo Salvo has told reporters this afternoon that the agreement for Soldado’s sale is ‘complete’, but for ‘a problem that has arisen with the agents’.

Tottenham agree Roberto Soldado deal but agent issue delays transfer

• Valencia president Amadeo Salvo says deal is completed
• But player cannot leave before problem with agent is solved​

A deal between Valencia and Tottenham Hotspur for the sale of the Spain striker Roberto Soldado has been completed, the La Liga club's president told local media on Wednesday.
However, the 28-year-old will not be allowed to join the Premier League club until a problem with his agent has been resolved, Amadeo Salvo said in the daily El Mundo.
"The deal with Tottenham has been completed. A problem with Soldado's agents has come up and the player will not leave the club until a solution has been found," Salvo said.
Spanish media reports put the transfer fee at €30m (£26.3m) for Soldado, who scored 30 goals in 46 appearances for Valencia last season.
Spurs spent about £17m to bring in the Brazil midfielder Paulinho from Corinthians earlier this month, a similar amount to the record fee they paid Blackburn Rovers for the winger David Bentley in 2008.
Media reports claim Real Madrid have offered a world record fee in excess of £85m for Gareth Bale, who signed a new four-year deal with Tottenham last year, but there has been no official comment from either club.​
 
So after like three years of chasing a striker they've finally gotten themselves one.

I really hope he bombs though it's a little hard to see it happening given how attack minded their team is.
 
Would anyone here want to spend GBP 25 on a striker that would be gone stale in two years? No resale value?
 
It's no certainty that he'll be finished in two years time. I'm sure Spurs don't think he will be.

Ultimately it all depends on what your financial situation is and what your goals are in the short-term.

Spurs just missed out on a CL spot last season and I'm guessing they want to do as much as they can to make sure that they get it back this season and push on from there.

It seems as though we're still some way off 4th unless everything just clicks for Rodgers.
 
Unfortunately, as long as we are managed by tightwads, this gap is going to grow with Spurs. I know Mark, and our resident good guys see what a great job BR has done in one year, and I would agree, but you cannot spend what we are spending and be taken as serious contenders for the CL. So the club depreciates more and more, because they won't spend over their budgets to get us back there.

Oh and the stadium still isn't any closer, almost three years after they bought us for a song.

They are being penny wise, and pound foolish. It's less risky to spunk on a few good players, than to try and Dormund yourself into Europe. This squad isn't going to make the top 4, without some sure signings like Soldado. We've got a decent XI for starting, but no one on the bench.

How little have we spent since FSG took over ?
 
well considering our league positions under them the answer is we haven't spent enough , certainly not enough to cover the mistakes made by their managers buying average players .

The issue is clearly bad management under Hodgson and Dalglish. FSG clearly had no problem spending money on the squad in the early days, unfortunately it was spent recklessly and there was no return on the investment. I think their policy has changed since then, its unfortunate but that's the way it is.

We have loads of options from the bench, it's two new first teamers we need.
