I just trawled through the Daily Telegraph's (I felt curious today. Get over it)
transfer talk page about the Spurs squad. However, three stories were taken from other sources. The rest of them are from the Telegraph's own intensely bored journalists.
It's almost a week old, but you know transfer talk. It can be a whole season old but still be regurgitated, such as the prising of Kenwyne Jones from Sunderland.
One of the most positively surprising stories I heard was about Tottenham Hotspur competing with Fulham to land Real Madrid's Ruud Van Nistelrooy for a
rock-bottom price of £1.25million.
This story is slightly more believable than the usual newspaper dribble, which only has one use, and that's to dribble on some more.
Real Madrid have decided to scoop out a large number of their players and replace with newly-signed Kaka. £62million worth of Brazilian ego does take up a lot of room.
Real's president, Florentino Perez, also exposed his desire for Cristiano Ronaldo and David Villa to be transferred.
It is seemingly plausible. Ronaldo's career at Manchester United has been placed into doubt before and David Villa is already deciding this week between Chelsea and
Real Madrid. Both clubs have ambition, but Chelsea's frequent managerial switches have unsettled the team over the last two years.
Guus Hiddink has returned to his post at Russia's National team basecamp as headcoach, while Ancelotti arrives from AC Milan to most likely
change Chelsea's team tactics once again.
Now back to Spurs with the Telegraph's Tottenham Transfer News with 'ME' as your brutally honest correspondent.
I'd love to know which ones you think are the REEEAALLY stupid rumours.
