Spurs have wanted to boost his value through loans though, now they just want to get him off the books, they'll accept anything for him.

He's been on the way down - was loaned to Championship clubs but then went on loan to the SPL, which is mostly League 1 standard.

That is NOT true!!
Great if I am shown to be wrong, but with 1 1/2 hour to go.
They're not going to announce during the game... social media team probably working up a storm as we speak.

Yeh, it just hasn't happened for him. Mourinho thought he was going to be the dogs bollocks. I don't think he's ever going to be a consistent goal scorer, I think he could have a bit of a renaissance as a target man/link forward just like Lisbie did.

I don't hate it, if we can get a good deal.

Well, just looking on Twitter for what it is worth and rumour is that we HAVE signed Dane Scarlett. Interesting and pleased if true.

I can't be the only old geezer who secretly wishes Scarlett would sign and be made captain.

I've just realised it might be tempting fate... "indestructible"...

Ali Gold has pretty much confirmed it and he only reports on things that are properly done.

Honestly, if that’s true then he would be our best signing of the Summer. In my opinion he’s better then Donley

So Richie says we are signing a midfielder which allows Zech to go out on loan. I wonder who?????

Presumably the midfielder we're close to signing is out of contract or is about to have his contract paid off? As there's no way we've shipped out two in that position without having someone 100% lined up.

Keeper signing is an odd one, unless Baxter's injury is worse than originally feared. Wellens really must not rate Cahill, as we'll be carrying his wage for rest of the season.

We definitely needed another forward and can't imagine Scarlett has come cheap, so it's a bit of a statement signing, even if he's never really done much during his loan spells.
