    Does Vlad have what it takes?

    Vlad is going to make his mistakes but all central defenders do when they first start out, have to learn the hard way, just wish our defense could stay healthy and we could loan him out and get him experience without costing us goals. He does have the look of a solid defender if you ask me. Give...

    Louis Van Gaal appointed Man Utd manager.

    I would be pissed if we didn't reach out to a number of high profile guys to see what we could get. Seems like exactly what we should be doing. Not sure if Van Gaal is the answer but no harm in looking around.

    Diego Maradona to replace Andre

    Don't understand all this AVB out talk, he is getting the job done but god forbid we don't play pretty football and score 5 goals a game. He can't score the goals himself can he?

    No Dawson In The England Squad...AGAIN

    While I think he is right there I don't mind him not getting selected, Dawson needs his rest and I am pretty sure he would only be on the fringes of the team anyway so why not get Dawson as much rest as possible to help Spurs and let England take care of itself.

    Player Watch: Erik Lamela

    Total agreement and really can't wait to have everything come together for us, this team is going to be great IMO. I also want to say how much I like AVB's substitutions so far. He has changed the pace of the game before something bad happens, which is something Harry and even Jol would let...

    Miralem Pjanić

    Just don't see the point with what we have already. Never hurts to have quality but for 12-15 million would much rather target youngsters in defense or strikers and see if we can find a gem or two with that sort of money.

    Christian Benteke

    Would be surprised if we are spending 20 million up front for Benteke but I would be fine with it. He is tall, strong and scores goals, not much else on the checklist for a striker if you ask me. Levy will be fine with it because he is young and should keep his value fairly well unless serious...

    Duarte Bernard

    While I really like what i have seen of Bernard, I just don't see how we have the money for him in the budget unless Bale is leaving, which for me would not be a good thing for Spurs. My guess is we get Paulinho (who I love and think could be fantastic for Spurs) and Villa and some unknown...

    Paulinho signs for Spurs!

    The part that Paulinho will do and you forgot to post about Dembele's stats are his goals. Just not enough goals for me from good positions. I do really like Dembele but Paulinho will score more goals and that is what we really need from our midfield. Someone who will pop up and score after a...

    Paulinho signs for Spurs!

    While I usually tend to agree about the price of players, in today's market where British players are going for 20 million(Henderson, Rodwell, and so forth) and anyone to Man City or Chelsea are going for 30-40 million then 17 million doesn't look to bad for a player who in a semi-final set up...

    Paulinho signs for Spurs!

    I would be more than happy to let Paulinho stay for a couple of weeks and get him after the Sudamericana if that is what it took. He is well worth the wait and we would be set up for years to come with him in our team. We should also be selling Parker and maybe Huddlestone as well to recoup some...

    Gonzalo Higuain

    I think that is about how I feel too. He would improve us but at what cost. His wages seem like the biggest stumbling block for me. He is going to be on huge wages from Real and is not going to want to give those up or at least give up as little as possible and Levy is not going to be the one to...

    Paulinho signs for Spurs!

    We are going to get outbid like we do with most other talented prospects. Monaco has this one in the bag if you ask me. Oh well as I really feel like Paulinho could do a wonderful job in the middle of the pitch for us but a striker or two is what we need much more than a central midfielder who...

    Demba Ba

    I would bite Chelsea's hand off for Ba. He is strong, scores goals that present themselves to him and works perfectly as a lone striker. I believe we are getting a little picky if we would turn our noses up at Ba. Is he the greatest striker in the world, No but he is solid and would get enough...

    Paulinho signs for Spurs!

    Mata was already a very well established player in the Spanish League if I am not mistaken. Paulinho doing it for Corinthians seems a bit different to me. Besides, Paulinho should be able to see there just won't be enough games for him to make a real impact at Chelsea or at another free spending...

    Paulinho signs for Spurs!

    Complete agreement and if we sell Parker and Huddlestone we might could get half of what we pay for Paulinho, which for me would be excellent business and if you think about the wages both Parker and Huddlestone would probably make more combined than Paulinho so the deal might look better and...

    Paulinho signs for Spurs!

    I think a signing of this magnitude would really show our intentions to Bale and the league as a team to be feared if you ask me. Looks like a very, very good player who might like to have Sandro covering for him and Bale and hopefully a new striker to look for in front of him. Would much...

    Returning players to reinforce Spurs’ top-three ambitions

    Just can't see us getting more than one decent player in Jan. but with these three coming back it will be a nice boost for us. I do like that AVB doesn't make excuses like so many other managers in the league.

    Clint Dempsey is good at......

    That is a great point about playing with Dembele and Bale, something he hasn't done much of this year. Don't have the stats in front of me but I would guess the three of them have played less than 2 or 3 games together. Another poster in this thread said something that makes sense to me as...

    Clint Dempsey is good at......

    In case anyone hasn't seen the clip it makes me laugh so I thought I would add it if anyone hasn't seen it.
