Not usually one for transfer gossip, but this seems interesting…

Mr Leon Mann, who was the chap who filmed the video for the BBC with Benni Assou Ekotto retweeted a ‘football advisor’ (whatever they do) who said:

So…Spurs fans, who is the special player? Adebayor? Diarra or someone Levy and Harry have had up their sleave for awhile…answers on a stamp.

  2. John Holmes says:

    Probably another midfielder on a Bosman!

  3. Super_Spurs says:

    Retweet was from Chris Nathaniel, who’s company is NVA management… interestingly they seem to manage Samuel Eto’o

  4. Sharon says:

    FALCAO

  5. Andre5 says:

    Joe Cole? Scott Parker? Bobby Zamora? Proper Harry types… Gawd help us.

  6. Hulk?

    Doubt it would be Eto’o due to wages. But he did say there may be a surprise in England…

    As for Ade, that sounds most likely, or Diarra. But the hope of someone left field has me thinking of when Klinsi signed…

    • yid4life says:

      Hulk demanded a huge asking price so I doubt him. Adebayor has been rumoured to be here in time for vs Man Utd

  7. Super_Spurs says:

    His agency also look after a lot of African players, Ghana seems to be quite well supported. So maybe Eto’o might be out of our reach but i cant see this CEO tweeting about a “special” player only for it to be Ade when every 2 bit red top rag and shite blog has ran with the story for 2 days now… have a feeling its going to be some one not linked to us and come out of left field like the VDV deal did.
    Fingers crossed it is a top player, hopefully a centre back as i think we all know Ade is coming and he should fill the need for a top forward (ex gooner or not)

    He has also called a press conferance on Saturday, which funnily enough is as tweet says.. i is in the next few days

  9. Iver Biggen says:

    Whoever it might be ,definitely won’t be A .N.OTHER Harry signing..It will be another Levy signing just like VDV..leave it to Harry he will sell and waste money on 3 average players on 120k each..then we will end up like Pompey no2.

  10. Miguel says:

    its Kaka !!! This is defo happening as he has just packed his belonging from his house in Madrid and given his brother the keys …. Sandro and Gomes have been talking to him all summer hence why there are minimal quotes from them this summer ….. KAKa welcome to the Lane

  11. rbspur says:

    danish guy at ajax im told

  12. Super_Spurs says:

    There is always this guy too….another of there clients

  13. Ledley the legend says:

    Please let it be Falcao and not Adebayor (who still hasn’t learnt the offside rule)

  14. Anthony says:

    He also manages Robinho! I fucking hope it’s not him!

  15. OldSpur says:

    It’s Greavesie !
    Fits the bill. He’s old…played for us before…won’t ask daft wages…genuine legend.
    Welcome back Jimmy !

  16. lee says:

    Could also be brazil starlet Casimiro, although was linked with Inter, nothing materialized apparently and he signed with NVA recently

  17. N17 says:

    been a “few days” for weeks…

  18. Bill Fitz says:

    Its the new Brazilian wonderkid, Dildo.

    • sprucebandit says:

      It might be but I’ve heard he’s stuck in a hole at the moment. I’ve heard he’s buzzin’ at the moment and the girls in Brazil really like him – still, I’ve heard he’s big and strong and his girth has terrified brazilian defences recently……

  19. CC says:

    His name is Nobby D U Heardov – free transfer of course.

  20. jimbo says:

    Oh man, I so hope its Dildo! I’ve heard he is sooo good, buzzed around the box last night on the telly.

  21. J says:

    Two words bruvs… KaKa ;)

  22. Daniel Sturridge plus cash for the midget

  23. Simon says:

    i really hope its juan mata,hes class !!kaka aint played for i dunno how long i wouldnt call him that special lol:-)))

  24. Simon says:

    well it definately aint Falcao hes just signed for athletico madrid for 34.9 million :-( (

  25. BILLYB says:

    i heard the same rumours apparantly kaka advisors met our top boys and a loan deal will b announced over the weekend

    COYS

  26. PAUL says:

    This is great…laughing my bollox off. COYS!

  27. Del says:

    It’s three players
    Messi, Hulk and E’tou

  28. Connor C says:

    well its confirmed it’s Kaka on loan which is not what i wanted at all he is not the same player when he was at Milan very sad TBH why not eto’o or hulk FFS we need a striker

  29. Richard says:

    It’s a done deal, it turns out the special player is Robbie Keane who missed London after being away for 2 days. He is quoted to have said that ‘it is a dream come true’ to be back.

  30. JohnSpurs says:

    I love it when us spurs fans can have a joke and a laugh. What a great thread. I bet the 5-0 win last night released a lot of tension, cos we looked freaking great and it’s so good to see a visual reminder that we spurs are freaking awesome! COYS! It’s fantastic that Daniel isn’t giving Harry any input into player signings, I am so proud of how Daniel has grown. If Modders goes, well, meh. When we lost Carrick, and when we lost Berbatoss we lost our entire reason for playing. Now Modders is a fish in a pond as we have genuine quality aside from him in VDV and Bale (and Jamma when he can stay onside, out of some whores bed and fit).
    I have grown tired of all the ‘big signing in the next 8 minutes,’ quotes so I really don’t know who it will be, but from the posts already I hope to god it’s Greavsie. Then we can get The Saint in the January window.

  31. Lillywhitetilidie says:

    You’re all wrong it’s pele no sorry it’s maradona or maybe it’s Jean Pierre papin no no it’s the fabulous Dutch maestro Mr Johan Cruyff. Who knows who it’s gonna be all I know is we don’t need a marquee signing that doesn’t fit what we have already. We need grafters the type that will run through brick walls for you team player not some old has been fancy dan who wants his last big pay day.

  32. yidskin says:

    Kaka ….. you heard it here first !! followed by Eto

  33. Terrynutkins says:

    Totally agree last thing we want is a “fancy dan” that is just after dosh and doesnt give the team any commitment or graft.

  34. COME ON YOU SPURS says:

    Lennon Loan swap for Kaka

    Lennon as opposed to Kaka is seen as a perefect impact sub for when oppositions are tired in Mourinho`s eyes although he is a big fan of Kaka he cannot give him the playing time he needs to prove his fitness and get back his confiedence. Although there are several intereted parties in taking Kaka on loan (Inc AC Milan) Mourinho sees the move to Spurs as ideal as he hopes Harry can do for Kaka what he did for VDV and not to mention in return he gets an impact sub (something which Kaka is not) in the form of Lennon. Jose hope that Harry will either send back a revitalised Kaka ready for next season or atleast make him more desirable to furure suitors by bringing back to his best.

    Guiem Balligue will drop this story on Sky Sports later this evening.

    me

  36. Az1974 says:

    Apparently its Diarra.

    Good player would’nt say special

  37. mike says:

    100% Rio Ferdinand

  38. Spursforme says:

    my nan has kept quiet over the transfer season……hhhuummm, several times last season I said she could have scored when Crouchie fluffed another. I bet she is on the way to shore up our attack! 66 years old, lift up her shirt and tuck the ball past the keeper…..one nile the Spurs. commmmon Nan

  39. the kipper says:

    pedro from barca

  40. spurs 4ever says:

    i heard it might be sneijder

  41. JohnSpurs says:

    The sneijder story has been so boring this summer. I don’t think anyone really wants him.

  42. Tom says:

    Looks like the “special” signing is diarra :/
