Will Spurs go back for Beckham?

1st???

Question is how much will levy spend to get him into the club?

m talking bout his wages by the way

Not that I want it to happen but If we lose Modric in January, I think playing 2 holding midfielders and then playing through Beckham is not as stupid as it sounds. We of course have VDV and Kranjcar who can play there. Thenuge is also right. We already know that none of the Euro 2012 squad will feature in the Olympics and the UK team can have 3 over age players. With Olympic fever hitting the UK and one of the biggest Olympic ambassadors in our squad, this could be a money spinner. Becks will also be training like crazy to have his swan-song in the Olympics.

One season. The odd cameo appearance. Shift A LOT of merchandise. Raise the profile of the club globally. Can't be a bad piece of business, surely.

No thanks. Another one of Harrys old targets. Levy hurry up and sack the *****.

NO! I wouldnt even take this rumour seriously if it wasnt for the fact that our manager is Harry "cant get out of thr 90's" Redknapp.

Becks will raise our global profile, and merchandising by a huge amount. So yes sign him, and he can play in MF alongside modric or inplace of in some games. His influence on our squad / young players will be highly beneficial as well. His dead ball kicks are way better then VDV, or anyone else we have!! COYS

no beckham, no redcrap, says it all, we dont want either

The way to get him is to offer a coaching /player role. Don't think he would play against Manchester though. Can see his future in america though, again as a coach/player

hopefully muttley we will get all 3, and to replace Pav, GDS and Alnwick, then our 25 man squad would really look good.

NO CAN'T BE THE SAME !! Jenas: Looked 'electric' in his first training session, "Jermaine Jenas is a dynamic midfielder," McLeish said in the Daily Mirror. A 13amp fuse is pretty useful as well, that just's sit's in a socket for any given time, until it blows.

Little point having numerous goal-keepers in squad. However, id rather see youth being given a regular chance than a player past his best. I also cant believe that he would fit-in on our restricted wage limit. If this was the case - why did we make so much fuss about Modric wanting to be paid his worth?

Get him if he is available and if he is agreeable. He will add experience and instill a sense of determination that is sometimes lacking. Also, Beckham is a brand in itself and will significantly raise the profile of our already great club.

Becks will do 3 things, give us more and more publicity and actually might help with other players wanting to join. Thirdly, he will have a positive influence on the youngsters at the club and if he helps improve their training and development, then it will be beneficial to the club. As for on the pitch, I am not sure what he can do. Will he still have the energy for the prem league. Would be great if like NFL, every time we get a set piece, we could bring him on. Joking aside, would probably bring more off the field than on, so I would not be against him joining. As for money, if he did join, I am sure Levy would make sure it is worth making before offering it to him. Also, I am sure if he got a few games, he would be willing to take a big pay cut to join as I cannot see him joining the likes of Stoke, etc. QPR maybe as it is in London. But are they high profile enough for him?

was referring to Coopsie post

OFF TOPIC (but why not? Beckham bores the ***** out of me) - Bookmakers SkyBet and Victor Chandler have opened books on who will be the next Spurs boss and the list of options is longer than Claude Makelele’s member.

Leading the way with Sky Bet at 2/1 is former Fulham and Manchester City boss Mark Hughes. The proud Welshman quit the Cottage in the summer when it looked like the door at Villa was opening for him, until Randy Lerner slammed it in his face. Hughes is a born winner who knows the game inside out, but would you have him at Spurs?

Former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is next on the list at 8/1 at Victor Chandler. He won the double with the Blues in his first season in England, but was harshly axed on the final day of last season. The Italian is well loved in the game and demands the respect of his players. He also has a glittering array of medals in his cabinet. Would he be your ideal man to replace Redknapp?

Everton boss David Moyes is 9/1 at SkyBet and many believe it’s only a matter of time before a big club wrestles him away from Goodison Park, while former Aston Villa and Celtic manager Martin O’Neill is 10/1, also at Sky Bet. O’Neill is an infectious character who always gets the best out of players, but he likes to money to spend.

Brighton boss Gus Poyet has been making a real name for himself on the south coast and many believe he will be a top flight manager sooner rather than later. He plays football the right way and would be seen as a positive appointment. I’m sure he’d find it hard to turn Spurs down, but there’s a huge gulf in managing in the Championship to the Premier League. Would he be able to make the step up? If you think so, Victor Chandler is offering odds of 14/1.

Another former Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink is thought to be in the running and you can get 16/1 at SkyBet, the same odds as Kevin Bond and Rafa Benitez replacing Redknapp at Victor Chandler.

Other names in the frame already include World Cup winner Didier Deschamps, former Spurs legend Jurgen Klinsmann, Marcello Lippi, Martin Jol and Owen Coyle, all at 20/1, followed by Louis Van Gaal (22/1), Claudio Ranieri and Fabio Capello at 25/1.

Rank outsiders for the job include Garth Crooks at 500/1 and Ossie Ardilles at 200/1.

hiddink would be the one for me :-)

coops - I interpret those odds as the bookies thinking we will have a caretaker boss at some stage this season. Clearly Ancelotti and Moyes would be obvious choices if we were in a summer window. Right now though, Hughes is out a job and Harry has a court case looming and the FA monitoring his availability. It makes sense why he's favourite.

Mad - He's also one of those rare people in football that actually respects a contract!!

I think a deal has already been done behind the scenes for him to join us in November, its why we have Alnwick in the 25 man squad keeping his spot warm. This signing would do more for us off the pitch than it but dont discount the effect of having him on the training pitch amongst our young squad.

is this why levy was in america in the summer window?hmmmmmmm

Sandro has signed a new 5 year contract

i'm not so sure. didn't he join us in jauary for a couple of weeks and since then we've been *****e??????

NEW DEAL FOR SANDRO!!! Bbbbbbrrrrrpppppp!!!

Two years ago I was against such nonsense. Not so much now. First off, from a merchandising perspective, it is a no-brainer. New Kit sponsor as of next season with the most marketable footballer in the world. All of the extra exposure will increase the pressures on Spurs to get going with the new stadium and Beckham and his associates will no doubt be interested in naming rights. Off the pitch, brilliant.

On the pitch, this is not a Harry's old boy situation. This is an Edgar Davidson situation. He will not be coming on a 4 or 5 year deal and he is not coming in as a starter. He is far superior over a dead ball than anyone in the squad. He knows and feels the game and is plenty quick enough to do a job. He was never quick. I am no defender of MLS but they do way more running than most professional sides do. Beckham is a winner and on a 2 year deal, makes sense to me, on and off the pitch. Who knows, it might even take some of the spotlight away from Harry. That too would be brilliant. COYS

Alex, they all know. Good luck to Levy in the future when looking to get top young talent on long term deals. The agents and the players are well aware. This has all been poorly handled and I expect we have made a point with Modric and players will now make points with Spurs. COYS

Peter, yes, maybe one of the good outcomes from Modric Soap Opera. Now, we´ll have to see how Luka is going to perform next saturday. I don´t expect the same player who scored that cracker for Croatia showing no passion for Tottenham Hotspur.

I meant, good luck getting young talent on long term deals without an exit clause. Fingers faster than brain and that's shocking. COYS

01 where did you hear we will sign Damiao will sign a 5 year deal with us in January??

AVB says Chelski interest in Modric is over.

Yeah, right! Lets see come January.

If ade's loan spell is a success we'll sign him at the end of the season on a 70-80k contract. Adebayor knows himself that wherever he goes, no club is going to pay those wages.

Sorry peterbalb, there is absolutely no comparison between Beckham, Pienaar & Parker regarding "risks". Can't see what point you're trying to make fella.

Each have their own individual benefits that differ entirely with the others, & the contrast between them are marked in that respect. In fact I'd go as far as to say that they are all entirely different types of player, so how can you judge which 1 is more of a "risk" than either the other 2?

Spuds, both Pienaar and Parker are on starter wages and are unmovable (owing to the quantum of wages) and are ours for 4 more years. They will be no more willing to take a cut in pay than Keane, Defoe, Pav and Crouch who we had to give money for him to agree to go. Neither Parker nor Pienaar have any value on the bench, which is where they should be if all are healthy, whereas Beckham has he value, even as a bit player. Whether Parker or Pienaar take up squad places in 2 years or not doesn't matter as the wages count against profits. Beckham makes the LA Galaxy far more than they pay him. He is an asset whether he plays or not. Pienaar and Parker are assets only if they are playing and if they are starting for Slurs in 2 years, we will not be worried about 4 competitions. Both are paid better than Modric. Both are unmovable and both are inflationary. COYS

Agree with your last point Peter, the signing of Becks makes sense off the field. But again we dont know how much any player gets paid, so we can't say this player gets paid more than Modric. As for all we know Modric might have got a pay increase when he had a meeting with the Chairman over the Chelsea interest.

Edgar Davids, Dutch player?

Ossie, we do not know any of the numbers for certain, but, we know Harry said Luka would need to meet with the Chairman after the close of the window to discuss wages. We know Harry and others said Chelsea were going to treble the wages. We know Parker was reportedly on 70k at West Ham. Pienaar wad looking for 70k from Everton. Reports were he signed for 65-70k per week depending on the source. Parker and Pienaar are on their last big contracts. They are both outs for 4 years more. I'm presuming that Parker and Pienaar got more or less what they wanted and that Chelsea were not going to be paying Modric over 200k per week. I am connecting some dots, but the picture is fairly clear. I'd like to see wages published. COYS

Very strange my response disappeared ??? Anyway signing Becks would be superb on many different levels. I guess the preliminary work was done last time around, so all being well Becks will join in November. He may bring added media coverage but it can also deflect from the press banging on about Modders all the time. Nice 8^D

Peter, who on earth is Edgar Davidson? Chrissybwoy Peter know's something we don't, maybe he means Edgar David's son?

Hahaha spu 4 life.

Ossie, I told you us agreeing was an anomaly. COYS

@peter, the comment "the press can not just publish what they wish" is one of the most ridiculous statements in the history of everything. Do you even read British papers or know of the press culture in this country mate?

lol Peter i know but it's all good

Please 'Arry.....

Why oh why would anyone want Beckham on their shirt his appeal has past him bye! surely - A Very Good at his peak. but for me STILL VERY VERY OVERATED a one trick pony.

That's a very big LOL for you there hotspur58

hotspur58, have you been talking to a guru out there in India?? as I hear they are very good at predictions for people...

The sooner Harry Redknapp F**KS OFF, the sooner all these nonsense about Becks will **** off too. Harry Redknapp really does my head in, these days. As for the next manager, rumour has it that Guardiola is keen on a new challenge, in a country other than Spain. With the plans for the new stadia, and our determination to keep our best players, now, I'm sure Levy can pull off a good spiel to Guardiola to see WHL as a realistic challenge.
