"Meets the 'works his nuts off' stereotype fully, but then goes and looks absolutely class with it. Going to be huge" - Jeff Livingstone (IBWM)
I have nothing to say here, for the record, about an impending star signing for Spurs.
I wonder what Yolanthe thinks about moving to Turkey.
She answered to a Gala fan on twitter and said "i ve been to Istanbul and its a lovely city..We ll see what will happen , i dont know too yet.."
Next season I'd like to see us try something like this:
[centre]
Lloris
Kaboul - Caulker - Vertonghen
Sandro - M'Vila
Sneijder - Holtby - Bale
Negredo - Falcao [/centre]
No Dembele , i am going to cut you open with a blunt knifeNext season I'd like to see us try something like this:
[centre]
Lloris
Kaboul - Caulker - Vertonghen
Sandro - M'Vila
Sneijder - Holtby - Bale
Negredo - Falcao [/centre]
Now this guy got well levied:
What is the Son Heung Ming story all-about - have we been linked?

Heung-Min Son, anyone? Only 20 and looks rather good. Bild called holtby before anyone else
If we could build even a portion of this team for next Summer it would be exciting.
The best thing about it is that the back 4 and GK require no adjusting whatsoever and there's already enough scope for rotation/competition. I can imagine we would be in the market for a new LB soon though, as I think Fryers is more long term.
Although next season maybe Parker's last for us he could still allow Sandro some respite every now and then. Hughes, the wee lad from Derby could be a great understudy to Dembele, and if AVB keeps pushing for Moutinho, you never know. To have the option of him and Holtby is incredible.
In terms of the LW, we do need someone who is Zaha-esque, but now Zaha. He is way overpriced and will have an inflated ego after all this transfer hoo-ha. Townsend could still be a fine understudy there, but i'm not sure if AVB is convinced by him.
Leandro Damaio may be overly optimistic but if not the signing of either the korean fella or Willian would provide cover for both lennon and the Striker, as I don't particularly see a long term future for defoe or adebayor tbh.
Also not to forget Dempey and Gylfi who can play well in any of those advance positions. Just need them to kick on a bit this season(less so with Dempsey) to ensure they can compete for places.
Am I being took optimistic? (I don't expect us to sign all these players, just demonstrating our options...)
Next season I'd like to see us try something like this:
[centre]
Lloris
Kaboul - Caulker - Vertonghen
Sandro - M'Vila
Sneijder - Holtby - Bale
Negredo - Falcao [/centre]
Ha, now it'll be interesting to watch the tears of dissapointment as the batshit ITK eaters realise there no uber striker turning up in a couple weeks.
