Wright-Phillips to join Spurs

[Eduardo da Silva]

Tottenham are aiming to tie up the ã12million signing of Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips this week. The north Londoners are in "advanced negotiations" with the deposed champions to snap up the England star and take their summer spending to nearly ã50m.Reports in the Daily Mirror suggest Tottenham have refused to comment on the state of talks between the clubs but boss Martin Jol is a huge admirer of Wright-Phillips, whose acquisition would give a massive boost to the club's chances of breaking into the top four. Jol has snapped up Darren Bent, Gareth Bale and Younes Kaboul as part of some impressive transfer dealing to leave Spurs fans dreaming of easing arch-rivals Arsenal out of the Champions League qualifying places.Now the swoop for Wright-Phillips, 25, is sure to heighten those expectations - especially as the winger is thought to be keen on the proposed move.He was chased by Tottenham two years ago when he was up for sale at Manchester City but they were blown out of the water by Chelsea who paid ã21m for the player.Aston Villa and City are also interested.Tottenham are also on the brink of signing Bulgarian left-sided midfielder Martin Petrov from Atletico Madrid in an ã8m deal.

The battle for 4th between Liverpool and Spurs is gonna be sick.

^^^^ are you a new breed of arsenal supporter???and wtf are they gonna do with lennon???? allow putting him on the left.

[Taurus]

allow buying SWP when you have lennonnonetheless it would be a good buy

[Gundam]

Sick If we get Petrov.Didn't even see that bottom bit, was ready to start moaning at Jol.Minor if we get SWP. As long as we a midfielder with a left foot.Them two signings will shown mans that we're on it this season. Would of really hoped for a play maker though, looks like Taarabt going to play a role this season.

[GT]

lennon needs some 1 to teach him how to cross

[FANTA]

Petrov would be a good buy.SWP wouldn't unless he plays more central.

[The Infamous]

Petrov will have the same impact as RommedhalSpurs should buy Downing they are dumb

[Benicio del Toney]

SWP is MILESSSSSSSS Better than Lennon.SWP is SICK at whipping the ball in.But it would be a dumb buy cos Spurs need a left sided winger.

Read the article, they're apparently after Petrov as well.

[TF/S4DK]

Petrov going Man City, Sven on him.

[Spawn]

Wasted signing

[The Infamous]

DumbLennon----Jenas----Zokora----Petrovlennon and petrov are road runners explosive pace and like to attack with Jenas liking to run into the box also and Zokora not disciplined enough to hold he will hover around the center circleThe opposing team needs to jam let lennon and petrov run around thinking they are flash and Jenas being the poormans lampard that he is will follow them. Let them attack get the ball and counter attack them with numbers with fullbacks supportingWith Downing the team will be muhc more complete

[Dadinho]

Centre midfield is a priority.Zokoras f*cking waste

[8BALL]

swp would be a sick signing........remember the city days

[Gundam]

Zokora is going to be sick this season. He was improving every game. Watch when he learns how to keep to his position.Huddlestone is going to be sick sick as well.------Huddlestone----------SWP------------------Malbranque----------Taarabt----------------As back up midfield. Sick

[Kompressor]

it cant possibly be a bad move for spurs to sign SWP in my eyes unless some spurs fans dont like his parentage but i think SWP will be more suited to play on the left than Lennon as he is more able to cut inside and shoot from long rangeJol is building a very strong squad if they sign a proven left winger they wont really have any weak areas

[Gundam]

If we sign these two.UEFA CUP is going to be walk in the park.f*ck Bayern.

[Dadinho]

Zokora is going to be sick this season. He was improving every game. Watch when he learns how to keep to his position.Huddlestone is going to be sick sick as well.------Huddlestone----------SWP------------------Malbranque----------Taarabt----------------As back up midfield. Sick

Huddlestone's not ready yet, but he at least has shown great potential.Zokora is severely technically lacking, his first touch is appalling, cant pass forward, cant tackle, very poor at reading the game and has no discipline. Even if he does learn where to play, he'll still be coming up short in a lot of other areas.And believe if SWP does come, theres NO way hes going to be backup to anyone.A player of that quality will find a place in the team.

[BATTY BOY BUM BANDIT]

Petrov is sick in the face.Dont get it twizzled.Also, SWP>>>>Lennon when given a run.

[FamilyTree]

wtf........why buy swp, waste of money, if it aint broke dont fix it.petrov wud be decent tho

[Kompressor]

if it aint broke dont fix it i dont think most spurs fans would be happy to settle for 5th 3 seasons in a row they most be aiming for at least a champions league spot AT LEASTsomethings broke/aint working no moreand Jol's trying to fix itanyway Lennon cant play every game and if he rotates the two of them properly they will both be excellent this season

[Murderous]

Petrov would be a waste of money

[M.Dot]

SWP>>>>Lennon when given a run.

[Spawn]

Signing SWP means Lennon is playing left mid all year again. Which is deadout.

[Lenny Jr.]

SWP is nangspurs fans should be happyi would be happy if he came to us stillSWP > Lennon
