I think this may be the most stunned I've ever been at a comment on Spurscommunity. You genuinely aren't trolling sure you're not?

Since when did this become the Eriksen vs Lamela vs Lallana thread?
We wouldn't sign Lallana to replace any of them, he would play along side them. He isn't better than those two, but he could get into our starting 11 in a 3 behind the striker quite easily.
Still underrated though IMO...

I'm sure Pochettino isn't really a fan! Just contributed massively to his development and if he could bring in one of his key players, that contributed immensely to their fluid playing style, we should all be pleased.
Let the Club worry about the details of any such deal, rather than getting worked up on the prices being bandied about in the press.
The big picture is about building a side that will play exciting and effective football. A three of Lallan, Erisken and Lamela could be a thing of beauty IMO.

He isn't worth 25 million of course. But he would definitely be a good fit with Eriksen and Lamela, and if Poch really wanted him I wouldn't have a problem over spending a bit for a player of his ilk.
We have a pretty huge windfall coming in with the extra 33 million in tv money, add that in with 5 years of break even transfer activity, and the fact we have a big squad and will unload a few players and I don't think signing someone like Lallana for a few million too much will really stop us from filling any of needs.
Plus, fuck Liverpool

Tottenham will offer Andros Townsend to Southampton in a bid to hijack Adam Lallana's move to Liverpool.
New Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has an excellent relationship with England forward Lallana and the White Hart Lane club believe they have a chance of capturing the player.
Townsend, missing the World Cup because of an ankle injury, is surplus to requirements at Spurs and will be offered as bait to persuade Southampton to do business with them.

To be honest id prefer Konoplyanka, he's about half the price aswell.

I don't get how so many people are so convinced by Lamela when he played a handful of games, none of them well. I don't judge players on YouTube. Eriksen had a solid season, scored some goals and has a good set piece delivery but was generally hit and miss in open play. He gave the ball away a lot for an attacking midfield player. Not saying Lallana should replace either and of course I hope they become great players, but that's more hope- right now Lallana is better than both.

You're having a total disaster with your comments today aren't you.
Erikssen is far superior to Lallana, Lamela is probably on the same level as him, although it remains to be seen if he can bring his form from Roma to Spurs.

I'm not sure Lamela, Eriksen, Lallana would be a good blend behind the striker. All looking to get on the ball, no-nobody to run the other way. The same way Barcelona look less effective when Pedro doesn't play and they have Neymar or Iniesta and Fabregas up there. Looking for the ball rather than a player who looks to run into the spaces.

I'm not sure, that trio is very one-paced. Particularly when playing behind Soldado. I don't think pace is the be-all and end-all the FIFA generation proclaims it to be but in the PL I believe at least one of a front 4 should have that string to their bow.

It seems that the people who want Lallana are making him seem a lot better than he is whilst those against the transfer are being very harsh. It's worth noting that he is very technically gifted and a GOOD player, not a class above Eriksen and Lamela (ridiculous statement). £25m is too much money and really I don't think we need him so let pool pay it if they really want to. Just remember that whether you want him or not, he is a good player

Opinions. Game of opinions. And Lamela is not 'on the same level as him'. Maybe one day in the far-flung future but right now he isn't. The point I'm making is not to denigrate either Eriksen or Lamela, though I do think people have far overrated them so far, but to say I think right now Lallana is better than both for a PL team. I also disagree that we don't 'need' him. Maybe not him but I still think we need a player in that mould who links play because everything was so scrappy around the box last season. We lack pure 'footballers' and he's one.

It's good to have real pace to get behind the defence, arsenal looked worse when Walcott was injured plus it worries defenders, for all lennon's weakness' over the years (not so much last season) you could see teams defend differently when he was on the pitch. As others have said pace isn't the be all and end all but it certainly is a good tool to have. Soton benefited from it with Rodriguez

I also remember when they were sure Lassana Diarra was joining us.
But come on, compare the amount of times they've been completely wrong to the times they have been completely right...
