I'm not sure if Drogba will leave to be honest. I mean i doubt it's because we signed Torres, otherwise Drogba could have upped and went when we signed Shevchenko, even more so when Mourinho left the club.

I was reading last night that we have first refusal on Aguero apparantly, something which we agreed with Athletico back in 2010 apparantly.

So if Drogba does go, it could be him.

I don't think the club would dismiss Spurs to be honest.

Don't really buy into this "never selling to rivals" it happens all the time, just happens that the rival usually ends up paying more if it gets to the negotiation stage.

Galatasaray could probably land him for about 8-9M, Spurs would have to pay about 11-13M.

I doubt he would go there though, but i also doubt he would move abroad when his family is settled in London.

Later mate .

It's not that though, i mean with his family being settled etc i think the only club he would return to would be Marseille should he leave.

Spurs will not be able to afford Drogs wages.

Van Der Vaart's on pretty hefty wages, most players know they won't get the same pay in their later years.

Looks like the transfers are pushing ahead, hopefully.

I heard they don't pay over £100,000 to anyone,whats VDV wages btw?

Lets hope we get them both.

Not sure, different sources say different things lol.

Some papers say about 80k, other says 40-60K, some say over 100K with image right deals etc.

Thanks for all the info

Apparantly Drogba has confirmed that there is NO truth in the rumours he has handed in a transfer request.

Be back later

Ian McGerry has just said on his twitter page that there is no truth in reports that Didier Drogba has handed in a transfer request.Drogba confirmed it apparently.

Cya

Phil Jones is a chunky fella. I don't see a long career ahead at the top level for him. One injury could see the end of what pace he has and i'm not sure if he is that tactically aware. Not sure if he is a holding midfielder in the making, but maybe he started in midfield as a youngster so it could suit him.

Certainly would not say no to Sneijder for 35mil quality player. Albeit a slightly off season.

I agree completely. Never has a transfer window excited me so much.

Sometimes things seem to good to be true, hopefully not the case.

Rumour is that we have had a 35M bid ACCEPTED by Inter, and the rumours earlier about the meeting with Inter this week is to go through that and to meet with Sneijders reps.

Source Steve?

So I guess the Pastore deal is off?
