Jol: It’s not realistic for Tottenham to be top four

Posted by Stevio in Tottenham Hotspur on May 29th, 2008

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Martin Jol doesn’t seem to think we can break into the top four of the Premiership.

Jol told The Sun: “When I was with Spurs we finished fifth twice.

“It’s not realistic for Tottenham to be top four because the financial differences are too much.

“Everton were the last club to do it and that was merely a one-off.”

Sure, after winning the League Cup, we more likely to finish bottom four than top four, but for Jol to come out with this is unnecessary. He should concentrate on his Hamburgers!

Spurs rumours: Diaz, Moreno, Lloris and Dos Santos

Posted by Stevio in Rumours on May 29th, 2008

More players linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur. Strangely enough, not many reports linking players away from White Hart Lane.

First up, Getafe’s Argentine international Daniel Diaz says Spurs have ‘asked’ about him.

Diaz in The Sun newspaper: “It is obvious I would want to play for a great club.

“I know Tottenham have been asking.”

The 29-year-old would reportedly cost £3m.

According to The Mirror, Cruzerio have accepted bids of £4m from Tottenham and Shakhtar Donetsk for striker Marcelo Moreno.

However, The Telegraph report that Moreno has agreed terms with the Ukraine club.

Nice ‘keeper Hugo Lloris has revealed that Spurs, as well as AC Milan, are interested in him.

The Frenchman told L’Equipe: “I am not closing the door to anyone. Lyon have continuity and they are in the Champions League as well. Milan are the Calcio and all that follows. And Tottenham, they have a great project for the future with a very successful manager.”

He added: “I will go where I have the feeling I can improve best until the highest level.”

The Daily Star are reporting that we’ve won the race to snap up Barcelona winger Giovani Dos Santos in a £12.5m deal.

It appears this is being reported a lot by various sources, shame there’s nothing official anywhere.
