| Tottenham Hotspur 2012/13 Season Long Thread Posted by MrPackSix Spurs got a bad break with Chelsea automatically qualifying in UEFA (stupid but its the rules). Very rough finish to the 2011/2012 after what looked like a potential top 2 campaign in the 1st half of the season. Harry Redknapp is replace with Andre Villas-Boas as new manager. Had a rough go at Chelsea so im somewhat skeptical but it was certainly not a bad hire. I think with his style of play and alot less drama to deal with he will do a better job here. The Super Welshman and Old Man Friedel are back along with RvdV, Parker, Adebayor, Lennon, and Kyle Walker just to name my favorites With Modric on the way out to Real Madrid look for the signing of Gylfi Sigurdsson from Swansea as a good pickup for midfield. Hopefully ADV goes after a proven midfield guy to team up with everyone while Parker will come back from injury Feel free to add any other updates I may have missed and I will update signings in the OP when i get them To Dare Is To Do Signings: Gylfi Sigurdsson , CM, Swansea City Ezekiel Fryers, LB, Manchester United Jan Vertonghen, CB, Ajax Emmanuel Adebayor, ST, Manchester City (permanent transfer) Hugo Lloris, GK, Lyon Clint Dempsey, FW, Fulham Lewis Holtby, MID, Schalke Mousa Dembele, CM, Fulham Departures Michael Dawson, CB, to Queens Park Rangers Luka Modric, CM, to Real Madrid Harry Kane, ST, to Norwich City This post was edited on 5/14 at 3:11 pm Reply Back to Top |

| Adebayor will be back for sure? Spurs will win the league this year and it won't come down to the last minute like it did for City. Reply Back to Top |

| Last year, we were well on our way to winning the league until that Anfield Cat worked his voodoo magic and Balotelli went and kicked people in the head. Reply Back to Top |
quote: Haven't seen anything about it. I remember reading an article in November where he said he "got his life back" by playing for Spurs. I would hope that they can sign him permanently from City because Spurs needs strikers and he wont be starting over Aguero or Swagotelli at City. LINK Reply Back to Top |
| Yeah, I hope we keep him. He played well last season. Albeit too well. If we hadn't won so many matches and finished 6th instead of 4th, we'd be in the UCL. That's how it works, right? Reply Back to Top |
| frick Tottenham. Reply Back to Top |
quote: Fantastic post. Will read over and over again. Addressing the comment about the hate towards Chelsea, it's not their fault UEFA has a dumb arse rule in place. So I have no real additional hate for Chelsea. Reply Back to Top |

| Defender Steven Caulker signs a four-year deal with Spurs He played well while on loan to Swansea City last season. He's also on the Great Britain Olympic squad. Reply Back to Top |
| Reading ITK that Adebayor and Vertonghen could be wrapped up soon. The club is also rumored to be after Brazilian starlet Oscar from Internacional, same club as Sandro. Of course with AVB now in charge there will be the endless links to Porto players. The big one though is Moutinho, who would be bought with the money from the Modric sale. Should be a very good summer for Spurs. COYS Reply Back to Top |
| I hate to admit it but I found Tottenham entertaining to watch last year. Wish we could have bought Modric or Bale off of you...... I guess I am in the minority but I don't mind the champions of the CL getting in as a aq. Reply Back to Top |
quote: Most people don't have a problem with this, it's more of the fact that the 4th team DOESN'T get a spot that gets people irritated. both should get in. Reply Back to Top |
quote: Fair enough, can't disagree with both of them getting in. Of course I would already be pissed about finishing 4th, lol. Reply Back to Top |

| Zeki Fryers joining Spurs LINK Yet another Man U youngster leaving the club. Seems like one to push Benny down the road. Hope he is better that Rose at LB now. Carling and Europa will be some good match time for him. This post was edited on 7/6 at 11:26 am Reply Back to Top |
| Looks like deal for Vertonghen is getting closer Modric is probably headed to Real Madrid soon Reply Back to Top Refresh |
