    Thumbs up Dunne to Spurs?

    Word circulating around White Hart Lane is that Dunne is having a medical on Friday and joining Spurs for next season. Great signing for spurs if he does.

    Himself and King / Woodgate would be a pretty decent defensive partnership for any Premiership side. Hopefully it works out for him if it is indeed true.

    Delighted for him if that happens. Really think they'll make a good push for top 4 if the Honey Monster is on board. Him and Woodgate would be an excellent pairing.

    Should give Spurs the heart and leadership they have been so sadly lacking. Not the most spectatcular signing which Spurs fans seem to thrive on but could be their most effective piece of business in a while.

    Would have prefered to see him go to Arse and if not Arse then Everton but this is still a decent move(far better than going to newcastle) but I seriously doubt they are going to push for a top 4 finish, the only way that would happed is if one of the top 4 impoded and even if that happened I think Everton would be the most likely team to take advantage

    That would be King, Woodgate, Rocha, Kaboul, Dunne, Dawson, surely they'll sell one if not two of those.

    Doubts about whether Ledley King will play again (old news) so I'd imagine the 4 would be Village Idiot, Dunne, Kaboul, Dawson.

    Rocha was being linked with Benfica in the news yesterday & I think Portsmouth where eye-ing up move for Kaboul recently.

    Village idiot is one of the best in europe when fit. Never going to be fit for a season though...

    I agree completly. I think he is underrated tbh, as a centre half I find him one of the best to watch, as you say though its been a long time since hes had a fully fit season.

    I think it's important that he plays European football next season. Playing against that style of play more often will certainly makes his performances for Ireland even better.

    He will get that with Man City next season

    Yes, but it looks like he is about to leave them.

    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    According to some on Man City message boards, Bent Harry has hijacked the move offering Dunne £75,000 a week and guanteeing him first team place. Hope its not true, as a Spurs fan I'd love to see him at White Hart Lane.

    Hope that doesn't happen either- Ramos is a great coach and I think Spurs will do very well in the Premier League and UEFA Cup next season, especially considering their signings this summer.

    I fear that this confirms that King is finished (injury). Rocha is apparently set on returning to Portugal. Kaboul is on his way, having slagged off Ramos a week or two back. Ramos doesn't seem to rate/trust Dawson completely (at least until he has more experience).

    So if Spurs do get Dunne, I'd say he'll play alongside Woodgate, which as a Spurs fan, would suit me fine.

    (Shame if King is finished, mind, since on his day he was the best of the lot )
