May 1 2003: The English Premier League Team of the Year is:
     Goalkeeper: Brad Friedel of Blackburn Rovers

     Defender: Stephen Carr of Tottenham Hotspur
     Defender: Sol Campbell of Arsenal
     Defender: William Gallas of Chelsea
     Defender: Ashley Cole of Arsenal

     Midfielder: Patrick Vieira of Arsenal
     Midfielder: Paul Scholes of Manchester United
     Midfielder: Kieron Dyer of Newcastle United
     Midfielder: Robert Pires of Arsenal

     Striker: Thierry Henry of Arsenal
     Striker: Alan Shearer of Newcastle United

Apr 29 2003: Tottenham have made an approach to Man Utd in an attempt to bring Quinton Fortune to the club. The South African international is wanted as cover for Christian Ziege on the left and to act as a defensive shield in front of the defence when Ziege is fit.
     United have insisted that any deal involves Simon Davies and/or Stephen Carr going the other way and that may be what scuppers the deal in the end - though Hoddle is hopeful of being able to either agree a good fee or possibly taking Butt and Phil Neville as well. With those two being surplus to requirements at the Red Devils for next season he may very well get his wish.

Apr 24 2003: Colchester United are giving 3 players trials: Aaron McLean of Aldershot Town, George Snee of Tottenham and Neil Saunders.

Apr 3 2003: Norwich have signed 18 year old defender David Tyrie on Academy forms following his release from Tottenham.

Mar 27 2003: Stephen Kelly has joined QPR on loan from Tottenham Hotspur.

Mar 24 2003: Spurs youngster Dean Marney has signed a new contract.

Mar 11 2003: Colchester United have signed young defender Johnnie Jackson on a months loan from Spurs.

Mar 5 2003: Chinese international striker Qu Bo will sign for Spurs, subject to a medical and work permit. The 21 year old will join in July from Qingdao Yizhong, ready for pre-season training.

Mar 4 2003: Norwich forward Paul McVeigh is wanted by former club Tottenham. Hoddle feels it was a mistake to allow the Northern Ireland international to leave - especially with the age of his frontline. He is hoping to qualify for Europe and then ENIC will allow him to spend more money which would allow him to bring in more of the players on his list.
     Almost certainly on his way out of White Hart Lane is Steffen Iversen. The Norwegian striker hasn't been given the reassurances he would like of a first team place (when fit!) and so he will look to find a new club in the summer.

Feb 25 2003: Kasey Keller has signed a 1 year contract extension with Spurs.

Feb 21 2003: Canadian international keeper Lars Hirschfeld has joined Luton on a months loan from Tottenham Hotspur.

Feb 21 2003: Woking have taken young Spurs goalkeeper Robert Burch on a months loan.

Feb 12 2003: Interest in Liverpool's Czech midfielder Patrik Berger has increased with Spurs being the latest club to inquire about him. His old team-mate Jamie Redknapp has apparently recommended him to Hoddle (wonder if he was on the treatment table at the time!) and the fact that he would be available on a free has meant that Glenn Hoddle is considering a move for him.
     The inquiry was about whether he would be able to leave early - as Redknapp did - and join Tottenham on a free. Under FIFA's new rules governing transfers this would mean Liverpool releasing him.

Feb 12 2003: Mansfield Town have taken Tottenham keeper Gavin Kelly on trial.

Feb 4 2003: Chris Hughton has been named as the new assistant manager of the Republic of Ireland. He will do the job on a part-time basis and will continue to work as a coach for Spurs.

Feb 2 2003: Tottenham have suffered another injury blow with the news that Anthony Gardner will be out for at least 6 weeks. The young defender tore a hamstring in yesterday's match.

Jan 29 2003: Portsmouth sign Tottenham midfielder Tim Sherwood until the end of the season. The 33 year old will cost a fee if Pompey gain promotion. He has 3 England caps and a League Championship winners medal from his time at Blackburn Rovers. Spurs paid £4 million for him from Rovers, who only paid £500,000 for him from Norwich. 

Jan 29 2003: Fenerbahce sign Sergei Rebrov on an 18 month loan from Spurs. The Ukrainian international has the option of a permanent deal if he impresses.

Jan 27 2003: Tottenham manager, Glenn Hoddle, has informed German midfielder, Steffen Freund, that his contract will not be renewed when it expires in the summer.

Jan 27 2003: Paul Gascoigne has signed for Chinese 2nd Division side, Gansu Tianma, on 1 year deal. His duties will involve being a coaching assistant and a consultant to the club's youth academy as well as playing. The ex-Newcastle, Spurs, Lazio, Rangers and Everton midfielder has been looking for a club all season but has failed to gain a deal anywhere until now.

Jan 24 2003: Tottenham Hotspur have beaten Sunderland in the race to sign Kazuyuki Toda. The Japanese international, who starred in Japan's World Cup side, has signed a 1 year loan deal from Shimizu S-Pulse. Howard Wilkinson has expressed his disappointment after hoping to sign Toda following his trial at the Black Cats.

Jan 21 2003: Tottenham Hotspur striker Les Ferdinand has joined West Ham for an undisclosed fee. The 36 year old former Newcastle forward chose the Hammers over a number of other clubs and is now hoping to help them to avoid relegation.

Jan 17 2003: West Brom are in negotiations with Nuremberg defender, Tony Sanneh. They are also talking to Spurs about Tim Sherwood.

Jan 10 2003: The transfers of Jamie Clapham and Stephen Clemence to Birmingham City have both gone through today in time for them to make their debut against Arsenal this weekend.
    Jamie Clapham has signed from Ipswich Town for an initial fee of £1.3 million. The 27 year old left sided defender/midfielder is a former Tottenham player
    Stephen Clemence has signed from Tottenham Hotspur for £900,000.

Jan 1 2003: Crystal Palace are in negotiations to bring former hero, Chris Armstrong back to the club. Bolton Wanderers got him for free in August 2002 and are now looking to offload him to give themselves a bit more spare cash for the transfer window.
    Armstrong joined Wrexham in March 1989 from Welsh side Llay Welfare, he then joined Millwall and it was from there that he was bought for £1m by Palace. In June 1995 he joined Spurs for £4.5m, but he suffered injury problems and was never able to make any impression on the first team and was released in the summer.

Jan 1 2003: Norwich City are trying to prise Plymouth Argyle's young striker, Ian Stonebridge, away. Stonebridge was an England U18 international while part of Spurs' youth team, but he was released by them before being snapped up by Argyle.
    He is a strong lad with an eye for goal, witness his 4 goals in 4 games for the England U18s.
