No Santana move to Spurs

Posted by Stevio in Rumours on June 22nd, 2008

Fiorentina have denied that they have agreed to sell winger Mario Santana to Spurs.

The Sun newspaper quoted Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino saying that a £4m bid had been accepted.

A statement on the Serie A club’s official website said: “Fiorentina want to make it clear that Corvino never released any statement to The Sun newspaper about the alleged sale of Santana to Tottenham,”

Are Fiorentina lying or did The Sun newspaper make it up?

Spurs set to sign Argentinian?

Posted by Stevio in Rumours on June 20th, 2008

According to Italian club Fiorentina, Spurs have had a £4m offer for winger Mario Santana accepted.

Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino told The Sun: “We’ve had an offer from Tottenham who have arranged to pay €5m.

“It is a figure that satisfies us because Santana does not feature in our plans for the 2008-09 season.

“I expect Santana to join Spurs within the next few days as he has been offered a three or four-year contract in London.”

Berbatov and Huddlestone linked with exits

Posted by Stevio in Rumours on June 7th, 2008

Dimitar Berbatov has been mentioned by AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani as a possible signing for the Italian giants.

He said: “Drogba, Adebayor, Berbatov, Barcelona’s Samuel Eto’o and Stuggart’s Mario Gomez are the players the Press have linked us with.

“I cannot say who we will get but any of them would be good.”

Another player on the way out of White Hart Lane could be Tom Huddlestone. He’s been linked with a move to Everton.

The 21-year-old had already been linked with a £6m move to Goodison Park yesterday, today however, The Sun report the defender/midfielder as being rated at £8m. It seems his value has risen £2m in one day!

Villa, Bolton and Newcastle in for Dawson?

Posted by Stevio in Rumours on June 4th, 2008

According to The Sun, Aston Villa, Bolton Wanderers and Newcastle United are interested in central defender Michael Dawson.

A fee of £4m has been mentioned.

It would be sad to see the 24-year-old leave, especially after he showed early promise.

Granted, of late he doesn’t seem the same defender, however, he’s still young and I can see him coming good in time.

Pandev told The Sun newspaper: “It is true Tottenham want me, but I intend to stay at Lazio.”

We had supposedly targeted him as a replacement for Dimitar Berbatov.

In the same paper, right-back Chris Gunter is reportedly wanted by Wolverhampton Wanderers on a one-year loan.

Sunday transfer rumours

Posted by Stevio in Rumours on June 1st, 2008

A round-up of Sunday’s transfer rumours.

According to the Sunday Times, the fee for midfielder John Bostock will most likely go to tribunal.

The Sunday People say we could offer Aaron Lennon and Hossam Ghaly and £7m cash for Blackburn Rovers winger David Bentley.

Also in the Sunday People, they report if Dimitar Berbatov leaves, we could turn to Real Zaragoza striker Diego Milito.

Same paper say Spurs and also Aston Villa are interested in Sampdoria defender Hugo Campagnaro.

In the Sunday Mirror, Queens Park Rangers could make a move for defender Anthony Gardner.

Again in the same newspaper, there could be a huge clearout with Darren Bent, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Gilberto, Younnes Kaboul, Jamie O’Hara, Paul Robinson and Adel Taarbet leaving.

O’Hara being axed wouldn’t make much sense, as he’s just signed a new deal, also Gilberto was only signed in January.

Portsmouth rival Spurs for Dunne?

Posted by Stevio in Rumours on June 1st, 2008

If reports are to be believed and Spurs are interested in signing Manchester City defender Richard Dunne, then they now have competition from Portsmouth to sign the Irishman.

Harry Redknapp told BBC Radio Five Live: “I like Dunne. He’s a top player and I think there’s a couple of clubs in for him at the moment. But I think we’ve got as good a chance as anyone now.”

He added: “We’ve got in the Uefa Cup for next year and we’ve got some good players so hopefully we can start to compete with the Tottenhams and the Villas and teams like that,”

It seems a strange move by Redknapp as they have Sylvain Distin and Sol Campbell already at the heart of their defence, so why move for Dunne?

The only thing I can think of is that he wants to improve his squad, but he’s already got Hermann Hreidarsson, Linvoy Primus and of course Noe Pamarot who can cover at centre-half. So who knows what’s going on.

Crystal Palace youngster set for Spurs?

Posted by Stevio in Rumours on May 30th, 2008

Tottenham Hotspur have announced that they’ve ‘reached agreement’ with Crystal Palace to sign highly-rated midfielder John Bostock.

Spurs’ sporting director, Damien Comolli, told the club’s official website: “We are very pleased that John has decided to join us. We know he has the talent but we also know he is only 16 and so we will not rush him. He will have time to develop and will be working within a very talented development squad.”

Bostock added: “I am definitely ready to make this move and Spurs is the team I wanted to join. I feel this is a club with a great future and this is where I want to be to develop my potential and improve as a player.”

However, Palace denied that a deal had been agreed for the 16-year-old.

The Championship club said in a statement on their official website: “Contrary to reports from Tottenham Hotspur FC regarding John Bostock joining the North London Club, Crystal Palace FC would like to announce that no agreement has been reached for the services of the 16 year old and he is still registered with Crystal Palace Football Club.”

More of the same this morning with The Sun reporting that both Giovani Dos Santos and Richard Dunne are on their way to Spurs.

According to the report, we’ve agreed a £12m fee with Barcelona to sign Dos Santos.
