Things have become a lot clearer today imo. This deal kills Schneiderlin deal dead, Sandro and Holtby leaving. It's all pointing (hopefully) to a deadline day attacking signing.
Maybe we're buying Southampton's replacement for them...to save them paying more as everyone knows the amounts they've received this summer lol
Agreed. I really, really want us to bring in Jay Rodriguez. He'd be perfect for squad balance as he would play LWF and offer proper cover for CF (not "I'm sure Dembele could cover CF at a pinch"-cover; he'd be a genuine option), and he would bring the goals that our side still lacks.Whilst I am pretty happy with this window I won't get too excited until it's over. If we fail to bring in MS and lose Holtby and Sandro without bringing in an attacker, that would be a kick in the teeth. I just hope that when JJ said a signing might surprise us (or along those lines) then it's an exciting attacker
Got a nagging that holtby's rumoured tendency to muck about too much might be behind it.I was watching The Matrix. Then I came up and saw this. I clearly took the blue pill rather than red... Jesus H. C.
Agree this seems to pave the way for one or two of Sandro/Holtby/Paulinho to leave. Sandro's fitness and lack of game time due to injury may be his reason for transfer rather than any lack of skill or desire. But am surprised that Holtby's not been given more of a run out, given how lively he looked under MP in preseason.

And hair tbf.Or his habit of running about doing nothing. Does have a nice smile though.

Stambouuuuli wo-oah
Stambouuuuli wo-oah
He came from outer space
To take a Tottenham place...
Of course it did (presuming it gets done) but I took the naive decision to believe it'd be an exciting player, someone we'd have actually heard of. At the same time it could be Stambouli, don't think anyone knows what's going on atm tbfSo todays signing didn't surprise you then? this could easilly be the one JJ was surprised about..

I'm not knocking Stambouli, but I really don't understand why we're signing another midfielder, especially one who will want playing time? We're stacked at CM already.
I was under the impression that it was Schneiderlin or nothing, so really surprised by this.
