Would appear so as he doesn't even have a squad number at Spurs. Must admit, not sure how it works if they have a space in their announced squad if they can bring him back into the squad. They may need to with only 2 strikers.

You have to admit - Levy's played this one beautifully.

Question.

Can Spurs give him a squad number now?

Is he even training ? I mean is he allowed anywhere near The Lodge ? Or is he cast aside and persona non grata ?
Levy must be sat at home rocking in a corner tonight

Don't know about him playing it beautifully, but the end result, with the £100K per week for Adebeyor, the total f##k up with the Berahino transfer and the end state of Spurs squad is truly a thing of beauty.

Well it makes you wonder if football clubs should invest in shrinks during the medical. By all accounts he passed his ok but after those comments and I do wonder how stable the fella is.
Bullet dodged there I reckon. Hopefully Kozak, Sinclair, Ayew and Gabby will do a job when called upon.

Edit: I forgot Ruddy, my bloody memory is shocking. With this amount of transfer activity this summer I'll have no idea who any of our team are.

No one wanted him. Speaks volumes.

If they have space in the squad, they can up until Thursday or Friday of this week.  I think also, if a space is left unfilled, you can bring a player in later like we did with Pires.

A while ago I jokingly suggested Villa give IQ tests to all prospective signings, given the amount of blockheads we've signed in the past, but this bloke really makes me wonder.

Jose Enrique is another one that seems happy enough to pick up his money and then leave on a free rather than play.

Well, if it's that or play for Pulis at West Brom it's a pretty easy decision to understand.

What a rum business. If there was an offer for him to join us and get more or less guaranteed game time for the next year, with no financial loss, then there's no rational reason he wouldn't take that.

He's said they were never in for him.

So what choice did he have about whether to stay at Liverpool or moving somewhere else to play then?

You do realise I said "seems" rather than 'is'. Which indicates i'm not sure, unlike your incorrect claim about Albion which you stated as fact ;)
