I disagree because all spurs really have to say is no comment but that's spurs for you. Not a very convincing club

No comment doesn't exactly strengthen their position if negotiations continue for Arshavin, now does it.

Being hopeful he will stay doesn't rule out him moving, but puts doubts in Zenits head that he may indeed stay, hence make them rethink their price stance over Arshavin.

It's all mind games at present.

no comment means just that. It doesn't reveal anything. the ashavin deal would clearly not get effected. There must be a set fee zenit want. Likewise, zenit won't be desperate to sell Arshavin therefore keeping him would only maintain their strength in depth. As a bluff it wouldn't work.

They have to talk like Berbatov is staying to some degree.

Saying no comment with all the speculation floating about all but seals his exit really, and if no deal is agreed for Arshavin, Zenit could see that as a means of getting the high fee they want.

No signings yet at Spurs is the reason Berbatov is still there, as they cannot be seen to cash rich when in negotiations for players of their own.

That's my opinion anyway.

Berbatov: Spurs hope he stays

Tottenham Hotpsur sporting director Damien Comolli remains hopeful that Dimitar Berbatov will be staying at White Hart Lane.

Berbatov has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United and was left out of the Spurs squad for last weekend's defeat by Sunderland.

He trained with the Spurs squad on Friday, ahead of Sunday's clash with Chelsea, and Comolli says the club are keen for the Bulgarian striker to remain in North London.

When asked if Berbatov would still be at Spurs when the transfer window closes, Comolli told Sky Sports News: "I hope so, of course.

"He's a very good player and, as Juande (Ramos) has said many times, we're delighted he's with us.

"I don't really want to comment about speculation, but we just hope he's going to stay."

Different rumours
Comolli was non-committal on Roman Pavlyuchenko's anticipated arrival at Spurs after the Russian striker landed at Heathrow on Friday morning.

He added: "We will comment and will let you know when we've got news."

Another Russian to have been linked with a move to Spurs is Andrei Arshavin, with the Zenit St Petersburg playmaker having said he no longer expects to join the Premier League club.

"It's difficult for me to comment on different rumours and speculation," continued Comolli. "He plays for another club we respect and they have got a game tonight."

Comolli also played down reports that Spurs are looking to sign veteran Swedish striker Henrik Larsson, saying: "At the moment we've got some targets, but it's news to me about Henrik Larsson."

I hope I'm not lol.

Ramos will be speaking to the media later, so we'll see what he has to say, although in all likelyhood it will be the same as the previous 2 weeks lol.

Anyway, I'm off for the time being. :cool:
 
what might have happened is sir alex might have been sitting in a bar watching ssn and heard about larsson being available soon and then he might have stroked his chin. He might have then got on the blower to gill to sell saha before adding, 'I got a cunning plan'.

Could be bollocks - who knows :D
 
I think he´ll sign. Don´t think we´d have sold Saha unless there was some development in the Berbastory.

Oh, there's no doubt about that...

Well, Saha has gone and United are left with two support strikers and a rookie.

Yeah, nightmare.

I mean it's not as if we won the double with two "support strikers", constantly unavailable Saha and no rookies whatsoever. Oh, hold on...

Goes without saying that I really, really hope we sign Berbatov, now that Saha is on his bike but it would be a long way short of a disaster if we didn't. We would still have some excellent options up front. Don't forget that half of Arsena's strikeforce last season was "rookies" and they had, IMO, the most options up front of any team in the league.
 
Looks like this Spuds ITK guy believe Berba coming our way this weekend barring any unforseen circumstances of Spuds and Gills rumoured meeting in France today. Also, contrary to other media reports, he reckons Arshavin case is settled, whatever that means. Fingers crossed folks.

Update 371] Jasper on Berbatov and Arshavin

I would say things are looking more promising right now for various reasons. Gill said to wait and see what happens. Pavlyuchenko arrives in England to complete his transfer to Spurs. Louis Saha is off to Everton subject to a medical.

Now representaives from us, Spurs and Zenit are all meeting in Monaco. Something has got to happen before the deadline. It has to.

why is Saha leavinf , if we have no replacement?

Be patient and see what happens. The number 9 shirt is now free for a player who loves to wear it and we are interested in. This cant all be a coincidence but if it is then we still have four strikers in Rooney, Tevez, Manucho and Campbell. The latter two are inexperienced though and that is our main worry. So hold on until the deadline.
 
Going by that picture i'd say hes not far off being WC.



Rooney

Berbatov

Tevez

Manucho



That would be sweet as.
