Tottenham have agreed with a fee for Hugo Lloris

[King Ellis]

The streak is over!

[Summers]

Poor Brad.

[Lineker]

Brad is awesome but age is now starting to catch up with him, I'm afraid.

[MJB]

Really?

Admittedly, it was only highlights, but it looked as if he kept Spurs from being beaten by West Brom at the weekend.

[Hobo]

Brad should move on to keep playing.

His age was catching up to him before he even joined Spurs tbh. Still fantastic, mind.

[King Ellis]

QPR in for Brad?

[stokeriño]

Hopefully if Spurs actually sign one of them (but not the other), I will *finally* be able to remember which is which out of Hugo Lloris and Loric Remy.

Although perhaps seeing them in person rather than just reading their names countless times in the papers would also help.

I should think so, what with one being a big, white goalie and the other a small, black striker

[brenchill]

I'd take him if I was Lambert. He's actually a decent player when he stops dicking about and hell, we need players. I'd imagine that he'll go to France though.

But he's always dicking about. He is a dick.

But I've never even seen their pictures!

IIRC I think they have the same height

So today has been the day that Spurs sell Modric, then start bidding for everyone to use the money before deadline day?

[Lineker]

We're selling our (what I believe is) our only goalkeeper below 30, apparently. David Button, who has played eight minutes of football for us in seven years, and amassed 109 appearences in 13 spells away from the club on loan, is set to join Charlton permanently.

[Adam]

That's a shame. We're after a new keeper and of the 5/6 we played last season, Button was the best one.

So today has been the day that Spurs sell Modric, then start bidding for everyone to use the money before deadline day?

Pretty much, Modric has supposidly gone for around £33m and then they're looking at buying M'Vila, Lloris and presumably just one of Willian, Dembele and Dzagoev. If AVB really had no more money to spend, I think they're going to have to move on some of Dawson, Bentley, Gomes, Giovanni, Jenas and one or two of the keepers.

[Summers]

Villa to sign Genk striker Benteke - hopefully. And Charlton midfielder Stephens - I guess.

[Matt]

Zenit have apparently bid for Nani... this is based on Twitter, so probably not concrete fact.
