I'm sure the champions league will be a valueable experience towards redknapp and the team. I hope spurs will be able to hold their stars from leaving. Im a big fan of Modric btw 

Doubt its gonna be easy to sign Podolski from the german giants. Maybe Huntelaar or Cavani more realistic target.

lol im outdated. Sorry guys. Why did he return to koln? Hmm. But i think he's more towards a second striker. In germany, he has played various positions. I think spurs have more options to sign a better striker.

Tottenham have finally lost patience with Heurelho Gomes after the goalkeeper's latest howler on Wednesday night against Real Madrid.

Manager Harry Redknapp refused to blame Gomes publicly for Spurs' 1-0 defeat after the Brazilian spilled Cristiano Ronaldo's speculative shot, but Sportsmail understands it was the final straw for the Spurs boss.

Gomes's national team-mate, Diego Alves, 25, of Almeria, has been watched by Spurs before, with Dynamo Kiev goalkeeper Maksym Koval, 18, another possible long-term target. Tottenham also made an approach for Manchester City's No 2 Shay Given in January.

Former PSV Eindhoven goalkeeper Gomes, 30, accepted full responsibility for his dreadful error against Madrid but admitted it is unlikely to be his last mistake.

He said: 'The ball moved a little bit but it was a mistake and I accept it. This was not my first mistake and I know it will not be the last one in my career, but I need to show character like I did before.  It was a difficult moment for me but I have to look forward.'

Spurs boss Redknapp was not convinced by Gomes's ability when he took over as manager in October 2008 but brought in a new goalkeeping coach, Tottenham's 1984 UEFA Cup winner Tony Parks, and saw an improvement in the Brazilian's performances.

But the manager still felt it necessary to sign the experienced Carlo Cudicini, now 37, in January 2009 and Croatia goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa on a season-long loan last summer. Spurs still have the option to sign the 32-year-old permanently from Spartak Moscow for £1.6m.

Spurs captain Michael Dawson expressed sympathy for Gomes after the match but no team-mate went to console him after his error.

Dawson said: 'I'm gutted for him. It's unfortunate. He's fantastic - he's pulled us out of trouble on many occasions so it's unfortunate for him, but we win together and lose together.'

The England defender, 27, also vowed to lead Spurs back into the Champions League next season following their quarter-final exit.

Tottenham are three points behind fourth-placed Manchester City, who have played a game more, with seven games to go in the Barclays Premier League.

Redknapp's side must travel to Eastlands on May 10 and also face difficult fixtures away at Chelsea and Liverpool and at home to Arsenal.

But Dawson said: 'The Champions League is where you want to be. The last couple of seasons we've been in the Europa League but every player wants to play in the Champions League. We have been there, done it and we are hungry for more.

'I've been lucky enough to play many years in the Premier League and the next step is to play in the Champions League to take on the best in the world.'

I don't know if this is true, but if spurs can sign shay given, why not?

Tottenham are lining up a stunning £40 million double swoop for Porto stars Hulk and Radamel Falcao, Goal.com UK can reveal.

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is desperate to bolster his attacking options in the summer transfer window and believes the duo could transform the Londoners' strikeforce following a dismal season in front of goal.

Goal.com UK understands Spurs scouts have watched the Porto duo “dozens” of times in the last 18 months and they are right at the top of the club's list of summer targets alongside Athletic Bilbao forward Fernando Llorente.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is ready to smash the club's transfer record, £16.5m paid for Luka Modric in 2008, to add the “one or two top players” Redknapp believes can make Spurs challenge for the Premier League title next season.

Porto have just clinched the Portuguese title and are in the semi-final of the Europa League but are believed to be willing to sell Hulk and Falcao in the summer to protect the club's financial future.

Spurs made an enquiry for Hulk in the January transfer window and were told by the Porto side that the Brazilian would be available for around £25m at the end of the season. He has also been linked with Manchester United, and Tottenham accept that it will be hard to attract him to north London if they fail to qualify for next season's Champions League.

The highly rated attacker, who usually plays from a wide position on the right but can also feature centrally, has scored 22 league goals in 24 games so far this season, guiding Porto to the title in Portugal.

His agent, Teodoro Fonseca, appeared to offer encouragement to Spurs earlier this month when he suggested his client could be in line for a move to England.

“He would really like to go to England where clubs pay well, but at the moment there are no offers," he said.

Falcao, 25, is a more conventional striker and is considered the natural goalscorer that Spurs have been so badly missing this season.

The Colombian is in the form of his life and has starred in Porto's Europa League campaign this season, scoring 11 goals in as many games in the competition.

The former River Plate man has also been linked with Arsenal, Tottenham's north London rivals, and would command a fee of at least £15m.

Tottenham hope to wrap up transfer deals early this summer following the embarrassment of missing out on a number of players in the last two windows.

While there is already a considerable budget in place – Spurs made several bids of more than £30m for strikers in January – the club would need to offload three of their current forwards to raise cash and free up wages for a mega spending spree.

Robbie Keane is almost certain to leave the club and Redknapp is willing to sell any of his other three strikers – Jermain Defoe, Peter Crouch and Roman Pavlyuchenko – if replacements are lined up.

Anderlecht teenager Romelu Lukaku is also being considered as an option to overhaul a strikeforce that has scored just 13 Premier League goals in total this season.

Spurs failed with a £36m bid for Llorente in January and will make another attempt to sign the Spanish international if they qualify for the Champions League, although they accept it will be hard to convince the Real Madrid target to come to White Hart Lane.

Villarreal forward Giuseppe Rossi is another option but the former Manchester United man has his heart set on a move to Barcelona.

Bale crowned PFA Player of the Year

Tottenham's Gareth Bale has been named as the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year.

• PFA Team of the Year

Bale has been in excellent form for Spurs in both the Premier League and Champions League this campaign, becoming one of the most talked about players in the world in the process.

Bale beat six other players to the much-vaunted award and becomes the fourth Welshman to be honoured, following in the footsteps of Ian Rush, Mark Hughes and Ryan Giggs.

"I am more than delighted really,'' he said. "It is a massive award and it is a great honour to receive, especially from other fellow professionals. It is a honour really when you look at the names that have won it before and it just makes you go 'wow' really.

"There haven't been too many Welshman to have won the trophy but it is great and it is great for me personally. And it is not just for me, it is for all my team-mates that have helped me through the season and it is kind of for everyone really.''

Bale took time to adjust to life at White Hart Lane following his move from Southampton, with his first year punctuated by injuries and an inability to secure a first-team starting spot.

However, the winger's turnaround in fortunes has been nothing short of spectacular and he insists he never doubted his ability to reach the top. "I think it is due to a bit of everything really,'' he added.

"At the beginning I wasn't really playing much and I always believed in myself that if I did get a run in the team - which I eventually did - that I would be able to prove what I can do. That did happen and I kind of never really looked back from there.

"Playing in a good team with good players definitely helped me a lot and all the boys have been fantastic, the manager has been fantastic, giving me my chance, and it is something I want to improve on.''

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp backed Bale to establish himself as a Spurs great after he became only the fourth Tottenham player to win the crown, following in the footsteps of Pat Jennings, Clive Allen and David Ginola.

And his manager has now backed the the winger to join the aforementioned players as a Spurs legend. "It is great for him, he deserves it,'' Redknapp said. "It is a great award for him to win and I could not be more pleased.

"There were plenty of people that could have won it. Listen, you look at the people that have won it for Gareth to have won it at such a young age it must be the proudest moment of his life. It is incredible."

When questioned whether he could establish himself as a Spurs great, Redknapp added: "Yeah, sure he can. He is already on the way to be doing that. He is a great lad as I say, which is the most important thing.''

Bale was also nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year, but that award went to Jack Wilshere of Arsenal.

The 19-year-old has attracted plaudits from fans and pundits alike for his performances this season, during a campaign which has seen him establish himself as a key player for the England senior team.

"It is my first full season and it is a massive award, especially from my fellow players,'' he said. "It is amazing. I am very proud to be the fifth recipient from Arsenal, it is good to keep this history going.

"Arsenal is a good club for bringing youngsters through and they keep proving it so I would like to thank the manager as well.''

Wilshere has long been considered one of the brightest talents to come through the Gunners' youth system in recent years and this time last year was on loan at Bolton honing his talent. Now he is an integral member of Arsene Wenger's side, showing skill and nous that belies his age.

"I am a bit surprised,'' he said. "I always knew I could do but still it was a surprise how early it came. I am delighted just to be in the team to win an award, so I have to keep it up now and hopefully we can win something this year.''

World Cup final referee Howard Webb won the PFA Merit award and was recognised along for his achievements this year with long-term assistants Darren Cann and Mike Mullarkey.

"It came as a bit of a surprise really,'' said Webb. "It certainly is an honour to be recognised by such an esteemed body as the Professional Footballers' Association. It means an awful lot.

"It is nice that the playing side of the game has taken this opportunity to mark what happened with us last year, the two finals that we did and I am very proud of that fact.''
