Spurs have signed Zeki Fryers from Standard Liege. He left United in the summer and went to Liege. If Spurs had signed him on a free in the Summer then they would have had to shell out a few million for him. Its the kind of dodgy deal Arry would revel in.
Looks like Llorente will be off to Juventus next summer on a bosman. A hideously overrated player - the Spanish Duncan Ferguson.
Alexandre Pato has completed a move to Corinthians from Milan for ā¬15m.
Giuseppe Rossi is on the verge of signing for Fiorentina.
Celtic to sign some Israeli chap?
Thatās a massive gamble. ā¬10m with an additional ā¬6m depending on circumstances, he probably wonāt play this season either. Fiorentina are building an excellent side though, they have made some very shrewd signings.
Heās Basque mate.

Itās a gamble alright but was wondering if someone would take a chance on him now. That seems like a hefty enough fee up front if theyāve to keep paying if he proves himself capable again.
Coloccini wants to return to San Lorenzo apparently.
Lewis Holtby to sign a pre contract agreement with Tottenham, joining on a free this summer.
Source?
Its me CM- believe it ! :mad:
[I actually read this on baords.ie]
On the flight to Munich- and read the German papers Bild etc- looking for news about Holtby (front page story btw was Sylvie and Rafa splitting up)- read that he Holtby, had turned down Schalkeās offer to double his wages and he would definitely not renew his contract. I was sitting in row 18 in the middle of the plane, and the steward says you can exit through the back door, so I turned around and to my astonishment, I saw the entire Schalke team had been sitting right behind me. they were on their way to Qatar btw, training camp etc. So I saw Holtby and thought Iāll have a chat with him. Luckily we had to get a bus to the terminal, so i got in the bus went straight up to him, and told him I was a big big Tottenham fan, that Iāve just got back from the Reading game and that weāve heard he might be coming to us. He smiled a bit and obviously didnāt want to say anything, but Huntelaar- who was really nice, and friendly as the Dutch often are, just chipped in and said literally-āItās a done deal, all signed and sealedā. Holtby looked a bit embarassed, and then said āwell thereāll be a statement in the next few daysā. He speaks perfect English btw-'cos his motherās English, without the trace of a any German accent.and then we started to talk about Tottenham and WHL and AVB. The conversation went like this: he told me, heād been over for the West Ham game, and he was really surprised at how poor West Ham were as they are in the top half of the table. I told him that they are a home team, and donāt perform away. I said that WHL is an old fashioned stadium, and he said he thinks that itās great, the atmosphere is unbelievable, and that he loved being there.Then we talked about the team, and it was obvious that heād seen every game, and how impressed heās been. I said that Iād been a bit sceptical about AVB, because I thought Harry was so great, and he seemed surprised, saying that heās a great young coach. I agreed with him and said Iāve been won over, and think weāre playing some really good football, which he agreed with too, and really thinks we have a lot of very good players. We talked a bit about the PL in general, and about the Chelsea/QPR game, which we both laughed about. Altogether we spoke for around ten minutes.
I couldnāt take any pictures 'cos the bus was so crowded, but I take it that people on here know who I am, and will trust me- but all in all. Expect him to arrive now or in the summer. I personally think it will be the summer, but everything today pointed towards him becoming a Spurs player. I got a great buzz from meeting him and Huntelaar- to whom I said. weāve been waiting for you too, he laughed an said, you just keep waiting.
SSN are running that Holtby to Spurs story now.
A simple source would have done, but ta.
Tis a pity the birds are so tall because the Dutch seem like very much alright sorts, e.g. Huntelaar above, Barney winding up that cunt Taylor and whoever hid Anne Frank in their attic.
The tall ones are Åice though. The Dutch are very alright sorts.
No self respected man would court a woman who is taller than him

That was my source cm!
Had no other.
