Zokora has signed for Spurs this afternoon confirming the story released by "Lennon's Jet Boots" on COYS and on The Shelf last week.
Spurs have confirmed today that they are in advanced talks with Zokora and his club. This is quite unsurprising as it was in the News of the Screws today and the pictures provided by "Lennon's Jet Boots" made it clear what we were up to.
Here are Spurs full fixtures for the Premier League next season. Due to our UEFA cup involvement lots of our Saturday games will be moved to a Sunday kick off. We start off with a trip to Bolton. This means that I can finally make the trip as Bolton away is usually a damp Wednesday night in November so expect Sky to shift it to a Monday night just to piss me off.
Looks like Zokora has signed or is about to sign for Spurs for around £8 million. There is a fantastic story over on COYS where some guy called "Lennon's Jet Boots" has pictures of him and Zokora holding a Spurs flag. He also has said that Comolli was there and he will be posting pictures of him and Comolli later tonight.
Reputable posters Ben and Noodles on FTL have confirmed what I also heard yesterday that Carrick is going for sure - £15 million with rumors of another player thrown in but no one seems to know who so that part of the deal could be rubbish. £12 million pounds profit on a player that is worth maybe £8 million tops is good business as long as the money is well invested. On that front it appears that Zakora will be tied up soonish.
Breaking news is that Jol has confirmed that Manchester United made a £10 million bid for Carrick but it has been rejected. However, news from COYS now suggest that it is not a matter of if but when Carrick signs for Manchester United after turning down a the same contract deal that king sigend a few weeks ago.
First of all Stephen Kelly is being offloaded to Birmingham. The option to extend his contract by a year was a good move as it means we will recieve a fee for the right back. Good luck to him from everyone at The Shelf.
It looks like Carrick is off for something around the £14 million mark, maybe a bit less. The BBC broke the story a while ago that we had turned down a bid of around £10 million but rumors look like we will be accepting United's improved offer. If true we would have made a whopping profit as we only paid £2.75 million for him 2 seasons ago. If the money is invested wisely then this could prove to a be shrewd move. The rumors are coming from a very good source over on FTL and although nothing is done yet don't be surprised if it is and of course don't be surprised if it is all bollocks! Also, football is all about improving the squad. Carrick has done well for Spurs since his arrival but every player has a price. Look at the scum. I was surprised when Anelka went for nearly £20 million quid but with hind sight they were right to do so. The same could well be said about Viera. Obvioulsy Wenger invested the cash well and if we do the same, and the signs are promising with our new faces this transfer window, then the massive profit we could well be making may actually hold the key of making Champions League next season instaed of just missing out this.
The worlds filthest club may finally get caught. Dvaid Dein has had conflicts of interest for years and we all know our history at what the scum did at the end of the first world war to get themselves into the top division. Corruption ran throughout Highbury back then and it now appears to be doing so again.
