Spurs make first signing of the summer
News | idv | May 23, 2011 at 12:28 pm
It is being reported that Tottenham Hotspur have signed Barcelona youngster Cristian Ceballos.
The 16-year-old had been training with Chelsea on a two-week trial with both the youth side and first-team – but it appears as if Spurs have stolen a march on their rivals and landed the attacking midfielder on a three-year deal.
Barca released the player after an apparent falling out.
Sources close to the player said: “The boy captained Barca’s Under-17′s and here we have a proper player, potentially one of the greats if he develops as people think he might.
“He went to Chelsea for two weeks and trained for three days with the first-team before a Champions League game such was the impression he made, but for some strange reason no one seemed to make a decision about him.
“Now, he has signed a three-year contract with Spurs and Harry Redknapp has a player who will be in his first-team within a year.”
Ceballos became an internet sensation four years ago when he appeared in a video with Ronaldinho.

There's no doubting what HR has done for us….I just wish he was 10 years younger.
The squad rules coupled with the UEFA fair play rules make youth development critical to the club's future, so it's worth taking a punt on players like this.
Your all thick as s**t if you think Dos Santos is crap!
He just like every other young talent that enters White hart lane don’t get the chance he deserves! you telling me this season when Bale got injured you was happy with Pieneer taking his place then Dos Santos???
The bloke plays well everywhere else and has shown us some top performances too yet Harry like always is to “scared” to play youth! If we had that balance this year and didn’t play our starting 11 for nearly every single match we would most certainly have 4th spot if not higher!!!!
Look at RB back Hutton and Corluka Went through a bad patch and we let Villa have one of the best RB in the country!!!! Fed up with the same old tactic and the same old bulls**t from fans saying he ain’t good enough that one ain’t good enough when they clearly ain’t had a chance!!!! TTID
We did let Kyle Walker leave, albeit on loan. The point he was making is that Walker would have made a good stand in earlier this year, not next season.
Why are there so many abusive people on the internet?
.its not something to be proud of because it5s something to be alarmed at, we could easily have broken the scums hold over us this year but we got too many tosser fans who didnt go to san siro for both games or madrid and in fact dont go to any fuckin games but comment fucking here or as arry said on the radio, arry was totally right when he said what kinda fuckin idiot makes tosser comments on the radio for the sake of listening to their own rambling groaning mastabational proccess. even elton john is more of aman than them
Our biggest challenge is to build a bigger stadium, then we can compete with the other top clubs on a level playing field. Until then 5th is respectable, 4th is great, but we need the new stadium before we can consistently challenge for major honours.
That said, Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal are all in transition so we've got a chance to do better next season.
Im not saying I don't want sucess, of course not but success is relative, we would all love to be finishing top of the prem every year… but we dont and haven't for 40 years, so deal with it as a Spurs fan. Finishing 5th and CL IS a successful season.
IF we beat wolves, IF we beat Wigan, IF we beat West Ham, IF we beat a host of drawn games we would have finished top.. mmm if you had tits you'd be a woman, IF you won the lottery you'd be a millionnaire.

Football is now all about the Billions – those with them can buy their way to silverware and high league positions, those without have to wheel and deal and play above their place to succeed. We are not a poor club by any means but we DO NOT have the buying power or wage structure to compete for the top 3 in the league, so 4th or indeed 5th is a good result. But you have a host of clubs very similar to us competing just below those top 3 or 4 so every season will be a struggle. So forget about giving Harry or any Spurs player stick and cheer the goals going in and support the boys when they need it most, when things don't go well and they need a lift.
