Juande Ramos has been named the new Real Mardid boss in place of the outgoing Bernd Schuster. Ramos has returned to Spain in in the nice comfy, if not pressurised, Los Blancos hotseat. His first game will be at home against Russian champions Zenit St Petersburg on Wednesday.

Think back a few years. The Premiership champions have just made a £30 million signing of an eastern European striker. He starts slowly. “Things will get better” everyone says. “He just needs one, then he’ll explode” they carry on. He starts to look sad, unhappy. He tries things that used to be successful at his old club. They don’t come off. He looks a lonely man on the field. [Read the rest of this entry »]

Tottenham’s £20 million Russian target has been likened to a slave, continuing the ridiculous claims that were started by the oh-so-wise head of world football Sepp Blatter. [Read the rest of this entry »]

Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Inter Milan have all made moves for the remaining member of Barcelona’s “wantaway trio”. Ronaldinho has gone to Milan, Deco to Chelsea, leaving only one player…

Cameroon international Samuel Eto’o has expressed his desire to leave Camp Nou this summer and his wishes moved closer to coming true as new Barca manager Pep Guardiola said he could go, along with Ronaldinho and Deco.

Now the striker has revealed to Corriere dello Sport that three clubs have made a move for his services, naming two Premiership clubs and the Italian champions:

“I have a few important offers. Which ones? Chelsea, Tottenham and Inter.”

Whether the clubs will actually make a move or not is still in debate. Tottenham assistant manager Gus Poyet recently said they would not bring Eto’o to White Hart Lane, while new Inter manager Jose Mourinho has stated he is targetting a midfielder over a striker.

This only leaves Chelsea as a realistic destination. With questions over Drogba’s future, would Stamford Bridge be a reasonble destination for Eto’o?

Despite winning the German Young Player of the Year award only two years ago, this Tottenham midfielder finds himself given the cold shoulder by Juande Ramos.

It is for this reason that Kevin-Prince Boateng has sought out a move, albeit on-loan, to Bundesliga side Stuttgart. The 21-year-old was signed for £4.5million from Hertha Berlin in 2007, but he has failed to hold down a regular place at White Hart Lane, leading to him looking back to the Bundesliga.

Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart have expressed an interest in the midfielder, but his agent Jorg Neubauer telling Stuttgarter Nachrichten his client prefers Die Roten:

Kevin has decided on Stuttgart, now the two clubs have to agree.

The deal looks to be sealed very soon, with Stuttgart’s general manager Horst Held confirming the move:

Boateng is a very interesting player. We are in talks.

Spurs have yet to see the best of the former Young German Player of the Year. Perhaps Ramos is building a new side without him and wants to let Boateng play to get the best possible fee for him in January. Or maybe he is just being nice to the lad and letting him finally get some playing time.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Juande Ramos has taken his time, but he has finally turned his eye back to his old club. The Spaniard has cast a look over a few members of his ex-Sevilla team and finally made a move this week.

Ramos submitted a bid for 20-year-old wiger Diego Capel, who is valued at around £14million. Sevilla showed they had no intention of letting one of their prize assests move to White Hart Lane by rejecting the bid.

Capel has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave should an offer of a certain value come in, but this applies only to Spanish clubs, meaning the Rojiblancos were free to bat away Tottenham’s advances, as president Jose Maria del Nido told the club’s official website:

He has a clause in his contract which is only valid for a Spanish team.

We do not negotiate with any figure less than that. Tottenham made a superior bid and we said no.

Capel is highly regarded at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, but it is thought that he does have his price. Ramos will have to go higher than the reported £12m bid he lodged this week to capture one of the youngsters that flourished under his guidance.

After losing his way through most of last season, Tottenham Hotspur’s ex-number one is casting his eye elsewhere after the signing of Heurelho Gomes from PSV Eindhoven, with Aston Villa his preferred destination.

Despite them not actually indicating they’d like to sign him, Paul Robinson has made it clear he wants to move to Villa Park to resurrect his career after such a fall down the White Hart Lane pecking order during most of the 2007/08 season.

Martin O’Neill is known to be looking for a keeper after Liverpool’s stubborness over Scott Carson and the release of Thomas Sorensen. Enquiries were made about Celtic’s Polish stopper Artur Boruc, but the Villans halted talks once the Bhoys quoted a £15m asking price, so Robinson appears to be a cheaper alternative.

And if they were to make a move, ‘Robbo’ would jump at the chance. A source close to him said:

Paul would welcome the opportunity to move to a club like Aston Villa.

He believes Martin O’Neill can help to bring the best out of him. He realises his chances of playing regularly at Tottenham look unlikely.

He feels such a move would help to resurrect his career.

Having seen many Aston Villa players receive call-ups to the England squad recently, perhaps Robinson sees Villa Park as the perfect destination to get some playing time and get noticed by Fabio Capello?

Espanyol’s Cameroon international goalkeeper, who has long been linked as a replacement for Tottenham’s blundering England keeper Paul Robinson, has said he is content in La Liga and has no intention of coming to Spain.

Carlos Kameni has been linked with a move to White Hart Lane, and other European destinations, since January but the 24-year-old says he isn’t going anywhere:

I’m very happy at Espanyol and I’m very comfortable there. I hope to return to Barcelona [Espanyol's base] and to have a good pre-season.

I have a contract there until the 30th of June 2009 and, if there are no changes, I will begin to train with my team-mates.

The statement is a blow to Spurs manager Juande Ramos, who is chasing several goalkeeping options due to the loss of Radek Cerny and horrendous form of Paul Robinson. However, it does now open up the door for PSV’s loud-mouthed Brazillian Gomes to make his proposed £10m move as Tottenham’s undisputed number one. However, I don’t expect that to be the only goalkeeper Ramos moves for before August.

…So says Slaven Bilic! [Read the rest of this entry »]

Barca striker Samuel Eto’o doesn’t beat about the bush, and yesterday he was as frank as a Catchphrase contestant after being injected with truth serum and forced to “say what you see!” by a manic Roy Walker.

According to the Cameroon star, Tottenham are far too lowly for him, Eto’o smashed through Spurs aspirations with a cutting statement:

“Tottenham, and I hope the English excuse me for saying this, is a club in the middle of the table and I need more.” (The Sun)

A little harsh, but probably true from the big-shot Barca striker!

Goal.com reports that Tottenham Hotspur have ultimately signed Brazilian international left back Gilberto da Silva Melo from Hertha Berlin even after it was confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that the player had failed a medical fitness test at White Hart Lane.

After the results of that test was announced, it was widely reported that the move was now off and the German Bundesliga club’s website stated that the player would remain with them until the end of the season. But Spurs made a U(-U)-turn on their decision and have eventually signed the 31-year old.

Gilberto is a brilliant signing for Juande Ramos and his versatility would be a boon to this somewhat struggling Sours side. Gilberto is essentially a left back but his attacking instincts are exceptional.

Valencia are set to lose another key player but you wouldn’t discern Tottenham Hotspur complaining about that. Goal.com reports that Spurs are ready to take the Portuguese full back Miguel from the Mestalla after the 28-year old Portuguese international fell out wit Valencia manager Ronald Koeman.

Koeman appears to be dropping all the senior players in his side and appears to be dropping points too. He is already under immense pressure by the Valencia fans who would be more than glad to see the back of him.

Spurs manager Jaunde Ramos is a long time admirer of Miguela and given his connections in Spain, it is more likely that should Miguel indeed end up in the Premiership this month, he could well end up at White Hart lane. Ramos desires to strengthen his backline to boost Spurs’ chances of playing in Europe next season.

Juande Ramos appears to have taken a leaf out of Rafael Benitez’s transfer books. The Tottenham Hotspur manager has been reported by Sky Sports to be eyeing the Almeria duo Alvaro Negredo and Mane.

Negredo is a highly rated centre forward while his team mate Mane is a left back with a versatility to play in midfield. Ramos needs to shore up his backline and strengthen his attack and no doubt that these two players fit the bill.

But whether Ramos would be able to lure the layers to White Hart Lane is another thing altogether. Negredo has been impressive so far in his first ever season in La Liga after being transferred from Real Madrod’s B team Castilla to Almeria in the summer and has sparked interest in a number of top European clubs. Real though do have a buy back option although the player as well as Mane has a contract with the newly promoted Spanish first division side until 2010.

But the duo may well change their minds about sticking to their contract should Juande Ramos decide to go all out for them this month. After all, playing for Spurs in the Premiership would be a better option than fighting relegation in La Liga.

Is Paul Robinson’s career at Tottenham Hotspur finally coming to an end? He is by no means guaranteed England’s number 1 any more and he could just be packing his bags from White Hart Lane too.

But when Sky Sports asked Spurs assistance manager Gus Poyet whether Robinson would depart from the club or not, the former Spurs player refused to release any statement but at the same time didn’t exactly deny hat Robinson is welcome to stay on at White Hart Lane.

This is what Puyot told Sky Sports:

I would say no comment, because I don’t know. You are the first one to tell me that. I don’t know. We like him. We said last week there is nothing wrong with Robbo. He’s part of the team and was involved today in the squad.

True, Robinson was involved in the Spurs squad that had to swallow humble pie as London rivals beat them 2-0 in the English premier League on Saturday. But crucially for Robinson, he was not involved with the team that was actually playing on the pitch against Chelsea and this is the second successive match that Robinson has been dropped from the first team by Juande Ramos.

So what do you think? Is Robinson’s time at White Hart Lane finally drawing to a close? Do you think that he should be given more chances or is it good for Spurs that they find another custodian?
