"Once again, as pre-season press speculation intensifies, we find ourselves linked with players, such as Nuno Gomes and Massimo Maccarone. Neither of these stories have any truth in them"
"The club stresses that all important news will appear on this website first"
Make of this story what you wish, but it certainly makes interesting reading, although it would not suprise me in the slightest if Gomes was signed in the next day or 2, because it wouldn't be the first time that possible transfers have been denied by the club ,only for the player to be in a Spurs shirt the next day.
