Spurs target Milito, Pavlyuchenko, Bentley and Capel?

Posted by Stevio in Rumours on July 21st, 2008

If the alleged tapped up duo of Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane get their wish and join Manchester United and Liverpool respectively, Spurs are, as you would expect, looking to bring in replacements.

According to The Sun, we’re eyeing Real Zaragoza striker Diego Milito. The 29-year-old Argentine would cost £10m and has been recommended by Gustavo Poyet.

Another target could be Spartak Moscow striker Roman Pavlyuchenko. I recall David Pleat referring to him as a similar player to noneother than Teddy Sheringham. The 26-year-old’s club are said to want £15m.

The paper also say we’ve had bids rejected for wingers David Bentley and Diego Capel of Blackburn Rovers and Sevilla respectively. Bentley would cost £17m and Capel possibly £15m.

Latest Spurs rumours: Coupet, Robinson, Eto’o & Gomes

Posted by Stevio in Rumours on May 24th, 2008

Lyon ‘keeper Gregory Coupet has admitted that he’ll be leaving the French club this summer.

The 35-year-old said: “Yes, I’m leaving, it had become an open secret.

“My way of saying thank you to the fans will be to win the Cup by being invincible.”

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like he’ll be headed to Spurs as Coupet’s club have said the following: “Lyon categorically deny having received any offer from the English club Tottenham about the transfer of Gregory Coupet,”

If Frenchman doesn’t arrive, then if the Daily Star are correct, then we’ll need a new ‘keeper as they report Paul Robinson is wanted by Aston Villa and Bolton Wanderers.

An odd bit of news includes Gustavo Poyet. He’s supposedly told a Spanish radio station that we’re not interested in Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o.

The Uruguayan reportedly told Ona FM: “Samuel Eto’o is not a priority for our team. Moreover, we’re not interested in him,”

He added: “We’ll be having a meeting next week to talk about signings, as we’ve already made one interesting one for next season.”

Finally, Spurs have failed in a bid for PSV ‘keeper Heurelho Gomes say The Independent. The Dutch club reportedly want £11.6m for the Brazilian. AC Milan are favourites to land him.
