   FACT! Lamela dribbled past opponents 99 times last season the third most of anyone in Serie A. #THFC

Scott Parker also dribbled past 250 players last season, although his was in a 1 yard radius

I think if he signs on time he certainly has a chance to make the bench. Certainly seems as he has been training and his fitness is good....so at least that won't be an issue.

And came back to his original position not gaining anything

it's just a disclosure that Roma have agreed a deal with Tottenham.

Actually it says "announces that it has **signed a contract** with Tottenham Hotspur for the FAC
outright sale of the rights to the player"

... so it's done.

Technically he could fail to secure a work permit, so may never turn out in a spurs shirt. But he is nevertheless ours, and in that situation we would be looking to sell him as any other of our players.

If it was done, it'd have been announced on the Spurs Official site by now.

Will Lamela track back like Lennon?

 

[dynamoSpurs]

Just need Eriksen and we're halfway there

No need - 4-3-3 system

 

[Conrete Don]

Can't wait to see him starting. Hope to see lot's of confindence in his play.

 

[Garyspurs]

They do seem to have a couple of different medicals these days.

Liked your comment for your amazingly hilarious signature. In stitches.

Oh yes there is - Does the lad do his defensive duties?

 

[Snarfalicious]

I'm sure a lot of confidence can come in knowing you demanded a 30m Euros transfer fee as a 21 year old. I am so pumped to watch him and I think he's the best "Bale replacement" we could realistically hope for.

 

[Garethspur]

In other news, Di Marzio blatantly has Baldini's mobile number.

 

[heinsmit]

So Vlad has reportedly passed his medical and signed da ting... hopefully that would mean Erik will be done soon too and we can see both of them on the bench for the weekend.

 

[bceej]

Kind of in shock that all this is happening/about to happen...

 

[Chris Finch]

I have my £20 donation ready for this to be completed!

That is one area where he needs to improve.

 

[RichieS]

Erm it is official, Roma have made a filing with Borsa Italiana (Italian Stock Exchange) confirming the transfer. That is more trustworthy than the OS because shit like that is not allowed to be wrong

You're not overly familiar with how finance works in Italy are you...?

Just need Eriksen and we're halfway there

But we certainly won't be Livin' on a Prayer.

 

[kcmei]

Why is the spurs official website always the slowest?

Just need Eriksen and we're halfway there

Are you living on a prayer again?
