Just some thoughts
on how this January's transfer dealings will probably turn out:
- next week - Spurs swoop for two Eastern European midfield stars;
slightly over-priced but they both had a wonderful world cup / Euro
Championships and their videos make them look absolutely world
class. This should be the answer to all our midfield problems.
Unbelievably, Harry faced little opposition and secured their
transfers without too much hassle.
- middle of January - Aaron Lennon and Jonathan Woodgate wake up
after a heavy night on the town and recall their boyhood dreams of
playing for Liverpool. Negotiations start later that day when
Spurs discover letters from Estate Agents in Cheshire addressed to
the players concerned confirming they are delighted they have
finally ended their six month property search. Liverpool admit
they may have mentioned a deal to the lads last summer at Robbie
Keane's welcoming party but deny any wrong-doing. They do put
20p in the lifeboat fund as a gesture of goodwill though.
Spurs say that despite this they will hold on to their prize assets
... unless the offer is too good to refuse admits Daniel Levy
privately.
- last week in January; Spurs swap Gilberto plus £3m for little
known Brazilian goalkeeper who will understudy Heurelho Gomes - once
he recovers from his long running shoulder problem.
- 30th January - Spurs claim to be close to signing top class CH and
Strikers to replace Lennon and Woodgate who still wish to follow
their dream.
- 31st January, 11.55 - Levy squeezes additional £100K for Lennon
and Woodgate allowing the deal to go through; Liverpool loan us
their second choice kit-man in return.
-31st January midnight - deals for new CH and striker fall through
as selling clubs were demanding £110K more than Spurs were prepared
to pay
- 1st Feb - new goalkeeper has scan on injured arm and is advised to
quit first class football or risk permanent damage.
- 2nd February - East European stars announce they are homesick and
will look to move back home in summer.
- second week in February - first East European midfielder is
injured in training and out for the rest of the season with a
fractured toe.
- second week in February - second East European makes home debut
but loses possession in first minute causing Spurs to concede early
goal from which they never recover.
- third week in February - Spurs concede second East European is
unlikely to make the grade and agree loan back deal with his
original club.
- End of March - new kit man proving disastrous and is sacked for
gross misconduct - putting red dye in the wash.
- July 2009 - Harry reveals a boyhood dream ...
