In a shocking turn of events it seems that Tottenham Hotspur have won the race to sign highly-rated Gylfi Sigurdsson, fighting off interest from Liverpool.
"It was not so much me turning my back on Liverpool as having the option to join two great clubs," Sigurdsson said.
"There was a lot going on here at Tottenham with the new training ground and the plans for another stadium. Tottenham finished fourth last season and were unlucky not to be in the Champions League, and we are pushing to get there again. It was clear this was the club I wanted to be at.

Never mind...rumoured to £33.6m
Obscene amounts...glad we 'missed out' on him.

I'd happy if this news were still relevant and true. We should be looking at him as a possible signing.

So Spurs aren't in for Sigurdsson?

He'd be a quality addition to our squad. £30m or whatever the crazy sums are, forget it!

Wouldn't we be spending that or closer to £40m on Barkley?

Rather Barkley, people keep thinking of him as an AMC when he'd be more a CM and cover for Dembele

Only way Sigurdsson will join Spurs is if he sees them win a trophy.
Starting with the NextGen tournament
