It has been rumored for the past few weeks, but today it just got a bit more serious. Tottenham has been after Croatian ‘iron horse’ defender Vedran Ćorluka as well as Villareal’s David Villa and Zenit’s Andrei Arshavin, which would be the largest transfer window signings ever in the Premiership if it happened.
The ‘super signing’ will not happen but Ćorluka might still end up teammates with his already good friend, Luka Modrić, at Tottenham. Ćorluka has been playing with his current club, Manchester City, since the beginning of the 2007 season. He was seen at the Tottenham hotel this week which makes the signing that much more probable.
Who knows what was said within those hotel walls, but it could bring a 3rd Croatian to the city of London as soon as next week. Stay tuned as the Premiership kicks off on August 16th.
Yeh I know, thanks. Always get the 2 mixed up because of the name Villa. Good catch.
David Villa is a Valencia CF player, not VIllareal CF.

One more update on the situation—-
Corluka is now very upset that he is not yet a Spur. He expected the move to have already been made. The situation is serious and should escalate even more throughout the week. Stay tuned.
Just a follow-up on the subject: CORLUKA WILL STAY AT MAN CITY!!!!
I think Tottenham will be a dangerous team this season and could very well be in Champions League next season.
Tottenham’s starting to remind me of Dinamo a couple of years ago with the Corluka, Modric and Giovanni combination. Similar to Corluka, Modric and Eduardo.
Tottenham Hotspur = West NK Dinamo Zagreb
I would love to see Ćorluka team up with Luka in London. However, I feel bad for City to lose such a prospect in less than a year.
After yesterdays friendly with Celtic, Ćorluka was showered with ‘Čarli, Čarli, Čarli,’ from the City fans, as he was subbed at the half..
