Recent talk has seen us linked to Adebayor, Hleb and Gallas - can you imagine the consequences of 3 gooners turning up before September??? In truth you have to say they are all top class players who would benefit the squad, but three at once is probably a bit much to stomach even for the most level headed of us.
Adebayor is widely regarded as a bit of a cock - but in his defence those lot down the road, to quote one I work with, "have a special hatred reserved for that wanker". I don't know - that kind of makes him OK in my books! Anyway, I think we all smell the distinctive odour of press BS floating from this one. The player has been given the number 9 shirt, and there's not much chance of Levy doing £20m+ on him. I don't want him anywhere near the lily white so that's all a bit of a relief.
Talk of Hleb seems to have faded away in the last week. I always thought he looked like a respectable player and if you think of him in terms of a Jenas replacement then all of a sudden he looks more and more appealing! Can take him or leave him.
Gallas however looks increasingly like a done deal. Harry rates the deal as 50-50, but I think it's sounding more like 80-20. The player's representatives have called to discuss his wage requirements and Harry is quoted as saying they're not excessive. No blockers so far then, this suggests he wants to come and Harry wants him.
I'm guessing the player would like to stay in the Premiership if possible and CL footy could be a factor. The short journey across London must also be appealingly convenient. I think all signs point to something happening.
How do you feel about this prospect though. I have, at times, despised the man - but this is usually directly after he has scored a goal against us. A guilty confession: I'm starting to find the prospect of having him in our corner more and more appealing.
He's in good nick for his age, knows what to expect in the Premiership, has been playing in the Champion's League for 10+ years, pops up with goals and is a proven winner - not to mention the hope that he scores against them in the NLD! I also think Daws and Bassong would benefit from playing alongside him. On top of all this he's on a free!!!
Logic dictates that this would be a cracking signing, but I'm interested to gauge the feeling out there. So what do you think - snap up the bargain, or don't touch the reject? Please select one from the poll on the left.

Get it done. Played for Chelsea and Arsenal, granted, but who cared. Is exactly what we need.
If it will benefit Spurs, i dont care if Arsene Wenger himself turns up..Gallas in my opinion was probably the most underrated defender, can play CB, LB , still lightning quick, knows how to win, still enthusiastic..for free he will be an assett..Hleb can play wide or behind a lone striker, goes past people like they are not there and very quick, not scoring enough goals for his ability but then neither does Jenas, at least Hleb can run with the ball at his feet and for a purpose...Adebayor? He is big, tall, very good in the air, pacey..Redknapp will turn him into that superstar that he is threatening to become..all three will be welcomed in my opinion, i dont give a hoot about all being ex scum, Did scum fans care about Rsol being an ex yid? I dont think so..
No longer a Goon...
TBH he is exactly what we need, so get him in!
After the 5-1 he looked like he was staying anyway...maybe he was just enjoying the fact that he was somewhere that you could hear the crowd?
In all honesty I'm a little unsure regarding William Gallas,there is of course no doubting his ability and experience,however the only thing that gives me cause for concern is his history of causing unrest amongst fellow team members.
After saying that though Craig Bellamy has the same reputation and I'd love to have him at the Lane,so I'll let Harry sort it out and take whatever he thinks is best for Tottenham.
Foggy.
I agree, get Gallas, could care less about Hleb. Man City will never sell to the the rest of the big 7, so theres no chance at us getting Adebayor.
