Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Never see the point in 'highlights' videos which show about 5 clips from 8 different angles, then 3 different filters.

I often wonder if I'm being sold a player, a video editing package, or a euro house track.
I just chose the the shortest most recent one I could find, there are better ones though. Stats back up how good is he too.

I generally just dislike them. I went looking for a Vorm one the other day, and there was a 2 min long vid. 1 min into it, all it had done was play a clip of him clapping and shouting, then he made a save, and it showed the same save for 30 seconds, then a lot of him slapping defenders on the back.

These guys could make Soccer Aid celebs look like they'd played an entire season.
 
Idk, I like to nitpick stuff and when you posted that there was a Korean Leicester fan club I decided to try to find it. I also find the idea that they would support a team just because a company from a different country owns that team to be a bit odd. I'm not saying that Koreans wouldn't support Leicester, just that they wouldn't do it because of the owners or the players, it would be because they won. Plus I'm insanely bored, I moved into my dorm like 2 days ahead of everyone else so there's nothing to do.
Its good to question???
 
Tottenham are considering using Nabil Bentaleb as a makeweight in their attempts to land Newcastle’s Moussa Sissoko.

The relegated Geordies are keen on 21-year-old midfielder Bentaleb, whose Spurs career is all but over after he asked to leave.

The Algerian is training with the Londoners' Under-21s as he waits for an escape route to appear.

Spurs have turned down a £10million offer from Schalke for Bentaleb, as they value the player at £15m.

He could now be used as a bargaining chip to try to reduce what Tottenham would have to offer for Sissoko.

Newcastle want a fee in excess of £30m for Sissoko, who featured for runners-up France at Euro 2016 and stood out in their final defeat to Portugal.

Spurs are also open to offers for two of their other midfielders, Ryan Mason and Tom Carroll.

Promoted Hull are in talks to add 25-year-old Mason to their threadbare squad, although he has also attracted attention from Crystal Palace and Southampton.

Carroll, 24, is wanted by Swansea, where he had a loan spell in the 2014-15 season, and Championship side Derby.

Sissoko was dynamite for France in the Euros but looked like a lazy cunt for Newcastle most of the times I had the pleasure of watching those despicable Geordie cunts. If Poch managed him then he might be more like the Sissoko we saw this summer; but fuck taking the risk.
Sign McGinn. No attitude problem there. Fraction of the cost too - he's undervalued. Were it not for him being regarded by his home support as "better than Zidane", I would dare to call him Sissoko of the North.
 
Yeah its going to get tougher for him though for a couple of reasons.
  • First Poch played 3 behind 1 so Lamela had more chance to feature than in that 2 in CDM we have. Which as we know already has Victor, Dier and Dembele ahead of him. At that point Poch was building the team so Lamela had time to develop, now Poch is applying the icing, not so much room.
  • Second we have less second rate games as we are in CL instead of EL (Like how mason pushed his case in league cup a couple of years back) so less opportunity to shine, only domestic cups
  • Third last season was a severe strike against him, Mason may be average at best but he is a soldier and will give everything and clatter gooners, he did not come up with pure howler performances like Bentalebs last season.

So I think Bentaleb (and his representatives) know writing on wall
Who knows whats gone on with him? When a player is threatened with leaving and then stays, sometime this encourages a change. He may get a bit part in the domestic cups and may then find his form. CL and PL are priority so Poch will make changes in the domestic cups and the opportunity may present itself.
