So we could potentially be losing arguably our 3 best players (King, Modric, VDV) in one window? It's hard enough replacing one of them let alone 3

Not trying to be dramatic, but doesn't it feel like some of the heart and soul of our team could be ripped out?

Dawson, VdV, King. Those guys are/were all fan favorites not just for how they played but for what they represented as human beings. All could be gone come September 1st.

If this were to happen, the new fellas will have big shoes to fill not just on-the-field but also in our graces.

Couldn't agree more.

I'm all for backing AVB and his revolution but selling VDV (King retirement and Modric selling have been expected) will imo put too much pressure on him from fans and media unless replacements are an instant success and surpass or match what VDV has bought to Spurs the years he has been here (which imo is unlikely as he has done a lot for us and built a very strong rapport with the fans)

Not sure if anyone is interested, but DirecTV will be replaying the Malaga match from yesterday at midnight on Fox Soccer Plus. It's a good opportunity to check out Isco if you haven't seen him yet. Could always Tivo it.

This is getting but boring, but Hudd is going to Stoke for 6 months due to a recall option so there goes that whole year bollocks

Modric wasnt injured for nearly 2 years with same injury so you cant compare at all really

The recall is probably so we can sell him in Jan if there is a buyer.

Classic Russian mafia move. AVB is clearly an Abramovich plant sent to destroy us.

Are you a psychologist or did you study something along those lines? If not, then what are you basing this on? Are you divulging this from seeing him shimmy in his seat after answering a particular question? Not trying to dig you out or anything, just intrested as to where you are getting these assertions from.

From thorough scrutiny of his micro expressions, eye movements, and verbal non verbal cues.

Where his eye moves as he processes the question, his facial muscular movements before and after saying something, voice tonality, speed, emphasis etc

I had replied earlier wrt why I think some of my guesses aren't just shooting off randomly. Can u check from my post history? Apologies and thanks!

What I think should be easiest to detect is when you look at the 3:54, there were 2 poignant moments where AVB smiled / grinned for split seconds in a knowing way -- (1) Defoe future (2) should be concentrating on playing games -- blink and you may miss

Lat

Here in the States, Latino is more used for those descendants of Latin or South America. Anybody living in Spain or Portugal would be Hispanic, not Latino. I would say you could safely eliminate all Spanish or Portuguese players on your list. Safe bet is that he is hinting that on announcement of both Willian and Leandro. I always take anything Akqa says w/ a grain of salt, as JJ usually comes out and pooh pooh's it later that day.

Why would the American terminology mean anything regarding an English football team? To me Latin means any country that speaks a Latin language... Definitely as someone pointed out earlier Italy too!

I'm not disagreeing with you tho... I personally think it's a Brazilian or two ;)

Stop fucking bugging ITKs with "have you got any news?" questions.

They'll share when they share.

BC I'm looking at you here in particular.
