[kursaal]

Burnley right has a £3.5 release clause and Pochettino is ready to pounce.

One of the most consistent defenders in the Prem and second only to Cesc Fabregas for most touches in the whole league. Excellent crosses of the ball, unlike Kyle Walker.

Great news. Hard working lad.

Obviously with that name he will need frequent drug tests.

please happen. this for me would be the start of a very exciting window. i'm really looking forward to this summer's comings and goings.

 

[Hoops]

Meh

should I be excited?

Sorry it's not Messi.

so its Trippier, Messi or nothing.

Excited might be a bit much, but you should certainly be pleased that we have addressed our need for a consistent RB, very early in the window and for a cheap price.

If we don't sign anyone else this window then your 'meh' is justified. As it stands, it doesn't make any sense.

so its Trippier, Messi or nothing.

Messi's a shit RB!

This is great news, I was thinking he was decent and right back certainly is a position we need to sort out. Walker just doesn't cut it any more and the rb has to be able to cross with our system. Absolute bargain at 3.5 imo.

Messi's a shit RB!

Not sure that's fair...
Defending - walker and messi not great, dribbling - messi better,
crossing - messi better
Won't get injured on England duty - messi better

Is Yedlin not upto the task then?

Meh

Do you know he provided more assists than two Spurs attacking midfiled regulars this season?

Now go figure why Poch wants him.

Is Walker?

Is Yedlin not upto the task then?

Odd. World Cup experience but apparently not ready to be Walker back-up. A loan beckons.

 

[Hoops]

Now go figure why Poch wants him.

Id be more impressed if he could defend.

 

[parj]

Is Yedlin not upto the task then?

I think Yedlin is more raw speed and power so if you can turn that into a footballer you get a top quality RB

Was that meant to be funny...or just negative? They include crosses as a pass ,other stats say he has delivered more crosses than anyone else in the PL, as most of them go into the mix a 60% completion rate is very good imo.
