Football FanCast columnist Harry Hockley looks at the constant rumour and speculation that surrounds Berbatov's future at Spurs and feels that maybe they should be looking for a replacement a lot closer to home.

If there is one thing I love about the summer, then it is the constant rumour and speculation that circulates the printing presses. Quite where they get their inspiration or where they pluck names from remains a mystery to me. It is like they know that Spurs need a left back and then go on Championship Manager and pinpoint some names, look at their attributes and hey presto we will run with that story, "Spurs linked with young Paraguayan sensation".

Harry Hockley brings us the latest nominees for the Tottenham Football FanCast's signing of the season.

As the season came to a close on Sunday, after witnessing possibly the worst game I have seen at the Lane for many a year, we at the Tottenham Football FanCast congregated with a pint in hand and put together our final nominees for the annual awards ceremony.

Football FanCast columnist Harry Hockley is happy to see the Spurs coffers opening but feels the door needs to be opened a lot wider to give Juande Ramos every chance to succeed.

If there was one thing that I was adamant about last season then it was that Spurs had the wrong man in charge. I liked Martin Jol as a person and few would argue that he was the most honest man in the game but for me he just lacked that something that makes a good manager a great one.

Football FanCast columnist Harry Hockley is delighted at the weekend signing of Luka Modric and feels that in Juande Ramos, Spurs finally have the hook to attract Europe's top names.

I doubt there was a Spurs fan that didn't wake up Saturday morning with an element of surprise. Not that we had signed a player but the relative efficiency in which the transaction took place and unlike Tottenham it wasn't leaked to the media. It certainly caught me unawares and I for one am delighted that we have brought the services of Luka Modric to White Hart Lane.

Football FanCast columnist Harry Hockley feels it about time Spurs fans were given some transparency over the future of Dimitar Berbatov.

He is without doubt one if not the most sought after players in the Premier League. Supremely talented, class personified and the finest player, Tottenham Hotspur has had in years however there seems to be a real stirring pot around Fleet Street; fuelled by agents, close family and insiders and all conspiring to remove the player from our great football club.
