Tottenham Hotspur: Like a Boas

@Krups That's how Levy roles

@Lucas I didn't name it that

@Pompey Thank you

@Jeremy Yeah, it was

@Louis Thank you!!

Awesome Styles, kits, signings.

Tottenham have confirmed the shock signing of Marc ter Stegen from Borussia Mönchengladbach for an upfront fee of around £6.5m, which could rise to around £8m.

The 22 year old Goalkeeper, who is seen as one of the best goalkeeping prospects in European football has made the dramatic switch to North London, and has now put doubts over the future of English Goalkeeper, Fraser Forster who was signed in January.

The switch not only comes as a shock to many Gladbach fans, but also to the club’s hierarchy. Many at the club felt that ter Stegens, who has been at Mönchengladbach all his life, was in talks to sign a new contract.

The club are now pointing the finger towards both Tottenham Hotspur as well as ter Stegen’s agent, Jürgen Bopp, for speaking to clubs and advertising the player’s availability.

A spokesman from Gladbach released the following statement: “We would like to confirm that goalkeeper, Marc ter-Stegen, is set for a switch to English side Tottenham Hotspur. It is with regret that we announce the transfer, and can assure fans that we had no intention of selling. However, we feel under the circumstances, it would be best for both the club and player to leave if he cannot commit his future to the club.”


Question marks will not be raised over both Hugo Lloris’ and Fraiser Forster’s futures. AVB has confirmed that Lloris, who is a target for Spanish side, Barcelona is set to remain at the club, however they are willing to listen to offers for Forster, who has been at the club for just 6 months.

Reports suggest that there is initial interest from both former club, Newcastle United and Liverpool. However, both would prefer a season long-loan rather than a permanent deal.

Will you sell Lloris if they offer some big bucks?

Interesting signing with Lloris and Forster there. I would be tempted to lose Forster and rotate MATS and Lloris

@Jeremy They offered £15m for his services, but I rejected and they've bought someone else now

@Krups Yeah, that was my thinking - although Forster is good, I'd rather have a younger back-up

Tottenham have confirmed that three more players are set to leave White Hart Lane in the coming days in order for André Villas-Boas to bring in some new talent.

The casualty list includes Golden boot winner and last season's top scorer Roberto Soldado, Icelandic playmaker, Gylfi Sigurðsson and left back, Benoît Assou-Ekotto.

The first who looks set to leave, despite joining last year for a price of £26.5m is Spanish hitman Roberto Soldado. Soldado managed 20 goals last season – the highest in the league; however, AVB feels that a younger and more complete striker should be bought in, and would like to part with the Spanish striker to help free up wages.

Initial interest is thought to be low, with old team Valencia the only reason side to have any major interest. Whispers from inside the club are stating that Tottenham will be willing to part with the striker for just £5m to help raise funds to bring in a new striker, with a replacement already lined up.

Auf Weidersein? Sigurðsson is in talks with German side Borussia Dortmund according to reports

Another who looks set for the exit is Gylfi Sigurðsson. Sigurðsson made a total of 60 League appearances during his time at White Hart Lane, scoring 9 goals – just two more than he managed in 17 appearances for Swansea a few seasons ago.

Reports suggest that Manchester City are close to a deal with Tottenham over the transfer Icelandic midfielder, who were also considering the purchase of team mate Jan Vertonghen. Tottenham have since rejected these claims, with some papers even stating that Manchester City have had a bid of around £11m rejected. It seems as if Tottenham are reluctant to sell to a team who they consider their rivals.

German paper Bild are suggesting that the other team looking at the playmaker is in fact Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund are set to rival Manchester City for Sigurðsson’s signature, and feel that they would be a much more attractive proposition. Bild is reporting that Dortmund have already had a bid of £11.5m accepted and are ready to announce the signing in the coming days.


The final player who is on his way is Tottenham favourite Benoît Assou-Ekotto. The Cameroon international spent the season on loan at QPR, helping guide the club to promotion via the playoffs. Often criticized for his laid back nature, André sees no future for the left back after the impressive performances of both Danny Rose and Ricardo Rodriquez.

Assou-Ekotto Spent 7 years at White Hart Lane, but is ready to switch England for Italy after Tottenham agreed a deal with Italian side Verona for a fee of around £2.5m

Some nice fees, especially for Siggy. Will Assou-Ekotto's wage be used for a new signing?

Let's see what you bring back to the team:>!

i thought you would keep soldado what was your thinking behind that?

@Jeremy Yeah, two more signings - once to replace Siggy and one to replace Soldado

@Bebero I'll probbaly be updating the last two transfers tomorrow, but so far they've both been excellent for me!!

@Jason Although he scored 20 goals, he went on a 14 hour goal drought, and towards the end was constantly getting 6.0 ratings. He's also 29 and on 105k. My board also decided on building a new stadium, thus giving me little transfer money, and i needed to sell. I already have Morata and Kane as second and third choice respectively, and had my eye on a new striker. I'm only two games into the new season (BPL wise) and he's already on 3 goals and 3 assists, and managed to bag 21 goals in 28 games last season. He was also relatively cheap too.

Will be interesting to see who you bring in to replace these three players, hopefully they can help you to some silverware this year

We are delighted to announce that we have reached an agreement with SSC Napoli over the transfer of Dries Mertens.

The Belgian scored 2 goals in 23 appearances in his debut season for Napoli, where he joined from Dutch side PSV after two very successful seasons. During his time at PSV, he managed to score a total of 37 goals in 62 league appearances.

Mertens began his career for Belgian side AA Gent before joining AGOVV in 2006, where he scored 30 goals in 108 games. He then moved to FC Utrecht before moving to PSV in 2011.

He has been capped 20 times by Belgium, scoring twice.

He was the guy that pushed Gary Cahill into Joe Hart in England vs Belgium Good signing Nick!

Is Mertens a replacement for a shock departure?
