In a flurry of transfer window activity Tottenham Hotspur have sold Estonian striker Thesu Blime and bought the Togolese Ridi Culous for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in excess of £20m. Centre-half Culous was at the club previously before being sold to Middlesborough last year for £57.30, where he has kept 67 consecutive clean sheets whilst playing in a defence of one.
Blime, signed in 2007 for €150m after scoring 123 goals in ten games in the Estonian league, has been a disappointment at Spurs, where he crossed an assist for Darren Bent and scored a penalty in 70 appearances before tripping on a teasmaid and shattering his entire ribcage. Tottenham received £101 for the Estonian, who is moving to Hull City after expressing his desire to play in ‘a nicer area’.
Meanwhile Jimmel Ficksit, the young Englishman who has scored all of Spurs’ goals this season and said to be on the verge of the England squad has moved to Manchester United for twelve pounds, along with all of Tottenham’s other strikers and their bus driver.
Manager Honest ‘Harry’ Redknapp said:
‘I can’t believe it. I have literally no idea what’s going on.’

Top draw!

So I just read that Arsenal and Zenit have agreed terms and Arshavin now might kill the deal with unrealistic wage demands.
We will see if he will settle for ONLY 80,000 pounds a week compared with 100,000 currently.
Your call Arshavin…

Did someone say top drawer?! Lovely blog today. particularly enjoyed the ‘nicer area’ bit…

Ah, Guv, was wondering when you’d finally make it down here…
I think we should only offer Arshavin £20 a week and then see how much he wants to leave Zenit…

You guys should get a chatroom for the site. It would be great to have a place to to chat with other supporters during the matches. I live in the states and only make two matches a season when in London for business, but I catch every match with Fox Soccer and Setanta and DVR at home. Any other expats?
Hopefully the other foreign visitors of the site could also show interest and we can make it happen.
It is tough to find other fans in my area, but the laptop is always here and I have to think a few of us would like to commiserate with others that are watching matches live at home.
