Spurs join Joaquin chase
by Laurent Picard, 29 May 2008

Joaquin: Wants to stay but...

Tottenham and Everton have offered Joaquin the chance to move to The Premier League next season, according to his agent Eduardo Espejo.

The Valencia winger is tipped to leave El Mestalla in the very close future, as his club need money to address their financial difficulties and his performances this season have been highly disappointing.

Spurs and The Toffees have emerged as potential suitors for the Spain international, with Serie A giants Roma also in the frame for the 26-year-old, and his representative claims that he met with the clubs' directors.

“Clubs such as Roma, Everton and Tottenham are following him,” Espejo said.

“I went to England a week ago to listen to those propositions and today everything is in Valencia’s hands.

“I have spoken to the Valencianista club to tell them that the player’s first option is to stay here but not at whatever price.”

Los Ches have just appointed new manager Unai Emery and Joaquin wants to know if he considers him as part of the club’s future.

mr realistic - 29 May 2008 16:00: Joaquin--- Must be a good signing for these clubs. he's gotta be class thats why no top european sides have been linked with him. As for dos santos leaving barca for spurs. who in their right mind would do that. especially as he was just breaking into their first team towards the end of the season.; Report this to a moderator

arsenal fan - 29 May 2008 12:57: spurs can spent as much as they can but they will never be a cham league team hahaha........ new2ay how many goals did bent(16 million) scored last season; Report this to a moderator

Dee - 29 May 2008 12:51: Listen up Spudniks - Where do you see anyone mentioning breaking into the top4 on this forum..A lot of these top4 cr*p is brought on by the media and supporters from other teams. Admittedly some of our fans also do live in hope but not more than fans at most other clubs with aspirations. We are just excited about the potential signings we are being linked to(hoping most happen but probably wont). But it seems we are not even allowed to do that.!!COYS.; Report this to a moderator

PEPSI - 29 May 2008 12:26: Hes too good to play for the blue scum !!!!!; Report this to a moderator

Spurs convert - 29 May 2008 12:17: We dnt need joaqin, we seem to have secured both dos santos who can play on the right if need be and capel on the left plus we have DO have a talent in lennon regardless of his critics. And as for a hard man to steer our midfield what about sidi keita at the relagated Lens could be our solid rock next season and cheap? Whilst the keeper for us is Hart an outstanding talent and held the GK postion away from a sweedish international for practically the whole season! In a swap deal with Robbo done and dusted easy. And Jarque for back up centre half. Unstopable.; Report this to a moderator

Dwayne - 29 May 2008 12:11: dos santos, capel and Joaquin, i'd be surprised if even one of them joined us, every year we're linked with sooo many players. The players we usually sign are the ones we dont get linked with so much, for example Modric, that signing was completely out of the blue, as was berbatov a few years ago.; Report this to a moderator

Mike R - 29 May 2008 11:54: If the fifa plan to limit overseas players goes through and it look like it will then the english players at Spurs could be very important. I think signing loads of overseas players could come back to haunt a lot of clubs. The Ar*e would not have enough players to put a team out Lets get a few good signings in but keep our policy of signing good English talent as well; Report this to a moderator

Billy S - 29 May 2008 11:39: Ev. You do need him Arteta is leaving and you have an 11 man squad. Spurs def don't need him if our imminent signings are to be believed...COYS; Report this to a moderator

“I'm glad he's staying!! For a few weeks there I thought we were going to get ripped off TWICE in 1 summer! Robbie Keane is a very good footballer but worth £20million i'm not sure. £18million for Barry and £12million for Alonso!! Jesus is it just me or does EVERYONE else see that as terrible business?? Rafa has a plan that he obviously thought Barry would be the perfect cog in his midfield machine but maybe next year, maybe not. I'm not sure about Riera but i'm willing to give him a chance like he deserves!! I hope we win the league this year but Chelsea are looking very strong.”
