Spurs to chase Parker, if Bentley or Pavlyuchenko are sold – Transfer Talk
Tottenham will swoop for West Ham midfielder Scott Parker the moment either Roman Pavlyuchenko or David Bentley leave White Hart Lane.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp believes the former Charlton, Chelsea and Newcastle warhorse is the ideal player to add bite and flair to his midfield as his squad chases a top four finish in the Premier League.
The other option is for Jermaine Jenas to head to Inter Milan as part of a deal which would reunite Sulley Muntari with his former Portsmouth manager.

According to most sources it appears Harry is very keen on re-shuffling the White Hart Lane midfield. He clearly wants to receive decent bids for David Bentley and Roman Pavlyuchenko so that he can use the cash to reinvest in the Tottenham squad. Redknapp has come out in numerous interviews stating that whilst he would like to keep Russian international Pavlyuchenko he realises the former Spartak Moscow man is getting increasingly desperate to leave the club.

I am sure Spurs would love to pull off a deal that would see Jermaine Jenas swap with Sulley Muntari at Inter Milan but that seems a tall order but of the midfielders currently on situ at the north London club Jenas is the most dispensable given the excellent partnership formed between Huddlestone and Palacios so if a player could be brought in to help beef up the options in Redknapp’s pack then Harry would very much like to do so without splashing too much cash.

Scott Parker is a player that the Tottenham boss clearly admires and the Upton Park side needs cash and will have to sell a player to two in January to keep them clear of further financial strain. Some may not see Parker as an improvement on who is already in the Spurs armoury but I think on his day the former England man can be a great player. Always determined in the tackle and able to work as well offensively as he does defensively the 29 year old would surely jump at the chance of such a move.

Fulham is preparing to make an offer to Tottenham for the Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko in January.

It appears that Harry Redknapp doesn’t see Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko as anything more than cover for his already very impressive performing strike force and it seems that the former Spartak Moscow man may not be content with the occasional Carling Cup run but would he consider a move across London to Fulham?

The talk during the summer appeared to involve potential interest from Serie A in the form of AS Roma as well as the big guns in Russia considering bringing the forward back home. With Keane and Defoe doing an excellent job as the first choice partnership, with six goals apiece, and with Peter Crouch waiting in the wings, a move away from White Hart Lane may be inevitable for the £12m Russian.

Roman Pavlyuchenko wants to leave Tottenham Hotspur after being restricted to just one appearance as an 89th-minute substitute so far this season.
The Russia striker fears his World Cup place is in doubt and told his agent to meet White Hart Lane boss Harry Redknapp for talks today.
‘No footballer likes being on the bench game after game,’ said the 27-year-old.
‘I could lose my place in the Russian squad for the 2010 World Cup.
‘I’m ready now to listen to offers from other clubs. But I can’t say anything concrete right now.’ (Daily Mail)

You can’t blame either party with this one. Roman Pavyluchenko obviously wants first team football but Harry’s success at the helm shows that he knows what he is doing. The partnership of Keane and Defoe is working wonders thus far this season and to be honest Peter Crouch is clearly the next in line so the Russian would do well to take the first offer made to him.

It’s a shame because the fans seem to appreciate the former Spartak Moscow man as he gives his all when he is selected but he will find it hard to placate those ahead of him in the queue. Redknapp will probably not stand in his way should a reasonable offer arrive. In many ways its a case of the right player, wrong time for Mr. Pavyluchenko.

The Rumour

Peter Crouch will take a £1million pay cut to complete a £12m move to Tottenham Hotspur, according to reports.

Today’s Evening Standard reports the England and Portsmouth striker will seal his move to Spurs in the next xouple of days even though he could earn more money at Sunderland.

Crouch has been in talks with Sunderland but is ready to turnd down wages of £80,000 a week in order to move to London.

The Analysis

Having seemingly lost the fight to land Real Madrid striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar, who has reportedly signed for Stuttgart, Harry Redknapp is apparently hours away from clinching a deal to sign Peter Crouch. Clearly the Spurs boss is a big fan of the England man having brought him to Portsmouth from Liverpool when he was in charge at Fratton Park.

The giant forward has been a model of consistency since moving from Anfield to Pompey last summer but the period of uncertainty at the club appears to have pushed him towards the exit.

This news will obviously worry the mass of attacking talent already at White Hart Lane and such a move probably spells the end of the line for either Darren Bent or Roman Pavyluchenko, if not both. Redknapp seems keen to re-create the little and large partnership of Defoe and Crouch which proved very successful at Portsmouth.

The Likelihood

Crouch to Tottenham: A deal seems set to be complete.

The Rumour

Tottenham are set to complete the £15m signing of Real Madrid misfit Alvaro Negredo.

The 23-year-old scored 21 goals on loan at Almeria last season but is now surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu.

Negredo has agreed a four-year deal with Spurs and should complete a medical this weekend.

Sources in Spain claim the deal includes a buy-back option for Madrid next summer, as well as a 10 per cent sell-on fee should he leave after January 2011.

The Source: (Daily Star)

The Analysis

Alvaro Negredo’s excellent season at minnows Almeria seems to have resulted in a dramatic change of fortunes for a player who had previously struggled to make himself known at Real Madrid. This source suggests that a deal is very close to completion and only a medical stands in the way of a big money move to White Hart Lane.

Harry Redknapp’s continuous search for strikers obviously suggests that he is far from happy with the crop of forwards he has at the club so a move was destined to be completed as he looks to offload Darren Bent, Roman Pavyluchenko and possibly even Robbie Keane.

Negredo is a good player with a lot of potential but will he find it easy to adjust to the pace and aggression of the Premier League?

The Likelihood

Negredo to Spurs: A done deal apparently?

The Rumour

Tottenham have re-entered the race to sign Real Madrid striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
The Holland international has accepted he does not have a future at the Bernabeu after being sidelined from the club’s training camp in Ireland.
Madrid have already accepted a £15.5million bid from Stuttgart that could rise to £17.2m, but the 25-year-old is in no rush to complete the move and will wait to see what other offers arise.

Spurs spoke to Madrid last month about a triple swoop for Huntelaar, Arjen Robben and Gabriel Heinze after initially considering former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The players’ high wages and desire for Champions League football proved a stumbling block. However, despite having many admirers, other bids for Huntelaar have barely materialised.

The Source: (Daily Mail)

The Analysis

Previous reports suggested that Klaas had decided a move to the Bundesliga was best for his career after a stuttering time at Real Madrid but this source suggests that Spurs may still have a shot at bringing the former Ajax man to White Hart Lane.

Harry Redknapp wants to completely reshape his team, or so the constant speculation would have us believe, and apparently he wants a whole new strike force with the likes of Darren Bent and Roman Pavyluchenko very likely to make way for new additions.

Huntelaar is a prolific goal scorer who arrived at the Bernabeu only to see managers chopped and changed and a new President elected, now he seems to have no choice but to make way for the latest set of Galacticos.

The Likelihood

Huntelaar to Tottenham: Would be a top notch signing if they can pull it off!

The Rumour

HARRY REDKNAPP will launch a £12million bid for the Spanish Peter Crouch.

The Spurs boss has lined up giant Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente to replace Roman Pavyluchenko.

Llorente stands at 6ft 4in and is seen as the perfect target man by Redknapp as he looks to off-load the Russian flop.

The 24-year-old Llorente has been in outstanding form for Bilbao in La Liga and was part of Spain’s Confederations Cup squad last month.

The Source: (News of the World)

The Analysis

So the 207th striker linked with a move to White Hart Lane is this Spanish international that for some reason has been likened to Peter Crouch, which seems a bit tenuous at best, after all Crouch is a good deal taller. Llorente has steadily improved over the past few seasons and is now a feared forward helping his Bilbao side to mid table comfort as well as last seasons Copa del Rey final.

He has the physique that could cope with the rough and tumble of the Premier League and presumably Redknapp sees him as a replacement for Roman Pavyluchenko who apparently doesn’t have much in the way of a future at Tottenham, but then of course Harry still has the likes of Defoe and Keane to form his first choice pairing, perhaps he wants a more rangy support man instead of going for those two January returns.

Llorente may feel a move to Spurs could help make him a more household name but at the same time if he fails to breakthrough in England he could risk losing his place in the World Cup squad for South Africa next summer.

The Likelihood

Llorente to Spurs: I think Redknapp will look elsewhere

The Rumour

Roman Pavlyuchenko is one of the players Stuttgart have considered as a replacement for Mario Gomez, according to their director of sport Horst Heldt.

The Tottenham forward would become a serious option should Stuttgart fail in their bid to sign Demba Ba from Bundesliga rivals Hoffenheim, Heldt revealed to the Stuttgarter Nachrichten newspaper.

The Source: (The Metro)

The Analysis

I would imagine that if Roman Pavyluchenko had anything to say on the matter he would like to prove to Harry Redknapp that he can indeed cut it in the Premier League but it seems increasingly unlikely the Russian will get a chance to stake his claim as he is hawked out to the highest bidder.

Roma were last weeks interested party now it appears that Stuttgart are looking to the former Spartak man to replace Bayern Munich bound Mario Gomez.

The Spurs boss seems to have his heart set on selling at least one of this main four strikers and Roman is perhaps the most likely to leave first but the club will struggle to recoup all that they invested in the Euro 2008 sensation.

The Likelihood

Pavyluchenko to Stuttgart: If not the Germans then somewhere else, he has played his last game for the north London side.

The Rumour

Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin has urged Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez to take a close look at Russia teammate Aleksandr Anyukov.

Arshavin nominated the Zenit St Petersburg fullback as a player Liverpool should consider signing in an interview last week.

Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder Dmitri Torbinskiy is being tipped for a move to Liverpool – by Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko.

Pavlyuchenko was asked for his tip to improve the Anfield squad.

“(Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder Dmitri) Torbinskiy,” he said. “But in reality, no player in our (Russia) team would be lost in England. Let them go, and the more the better. After the European Championship, the Russians are generating great interest.”

The Source: (tribalfootball.com)

The Analysis

Both have been earmarked by two countrymen already plying their trade in England, albeit with vastly different results, so perhaps they are worth considering.

Right Back Anyukov and Multi Purpose Winger Torbinskiy both have a decent level of experience at club and country level but it is always hard to tell just how players from the Russian league will adapt when thrown in at the deep end of the Premier League game.

Many fans of the club would probably rather sign a support striker for Torres ahead of any other transaction but a left winger could well be an important acquisition and maybe a squad player in this role in the form of Torbinskiy is all that is needed as the club still has the likes of Rieira and Babel to count on.

The Likelihood

Russian Pair to Liverpool: Not sure Rafa will be taking the advice of this Premier League pair.
