Tottenham could become the ninth Premier League team to come under foreign ownership with a Middle East syndicate ready to make a move for the club. While the Dubai-based group is unwilling to go public with its intentions, contact has already been made with Joe Lewis, head of the ENIC investment group which owns 82 per cent of the north London club.Bahamas-based Lewis, who lost £400m from his personal fortune following the collapse of American investment bank Bear Stearns earlier this year, is understood to be considering selling Spurs when the time is right.A sale of Spurs could probably fetch around £250m at this stage, with the club now established as a European performer having qualified for the UEFA Cup for the third year running.But Lewis and his partner, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, are looking for considerably more as they believe the value of the club will double over the next few years.That valuation would be viable if new boss Juande Ramos, who has been given a major show of financial support by the captures of Croatian schemer Luka Modric and Barcelona youngster Giovani Dos Santos, can fulfil his aim of taking the club into the Champions League.The Dubai syndicate - unrelated to Liverpool suitors DIC, who are still locked in a tug of war for the Anfield club - want to buy Spurs having passed on the opportunity to invest in Manchester City before the club was bought by Thaksin Shinawatra.

Firstly bentley is a big upgrade on Lennon, can do everything that lennon can do plus shoot, cross and deliver good set pieces! 9 mil upfront if thats true blackburn are dumb could have got much more for him than that imo. I ussually greet spurs englishh signings as overrated overpriced twats. But bentley is actually sick. 5th place nxt year imo.

If we sign Diarra our team will be too short, we will get killed at set pieces
Dont you already?Oh and not at you directly as I cant remember if you put him in your team, but allow Dos Santos being a guaranteed starter.
exactly thats y buying lots more short players is not genna help, we need some height in thereand no one bar a few is guranteed to start but I reckon DS will, he left barca to play ffs
