Transfers Summer 2016 Transfer Window Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

But we haven't balanced the books yet. We have to break even, so we do. So we can all feel proud of ourselves. Net Spend champions of England, we know what we are
If we sell him it'll be because Poch doesn't reckon him. It'd have nothing to do with balancing books.

But in regards to us not splashing the cash we do have a stadium to build. But then again that's all bluff and excuses from levy

....not one brick!

:levywhoa:
 
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 was really hoping this year we would not see the 1,000 page 20,000 message level of last Summer window, sadly the Football Management Massive are starting to pick up the pace of posting with just over a week to go, it could get stupid again

:pochfacepalm:

As for Bentaleb, the first two premier league games of last season were enough to show Poch something had changed in him from his great season the year before, the fuck up at united then coming on at 2-0 up against stoke to draw 2-2, a right mess. He did not deliver at any point last season so if the boss is not impressed he must go, we have better options
 
Shame about Bentaleb, but it's for the best. He's not been playing for well over a year now, and there's obviously been some sort of a fallout between him and Pochettino.

He was fantastic under Pochettino the season before last... Carried Mason and put in top performances in our wins against Woolwich and Chelsea at the Lane. Shame.

I would love to see us add some depth before the window ends. With him, Mason, Chadli and N'Jie all likely to leave, I don't think our bench is strong enough with the likes of of Winks and Onomah regularly having to come on.
 
Rumours of an agreed loan for Bentaleb and Hull being in talks with Mason all in one day.

You'd think we'd have something lined up.

If Bentaleb stays, he may well get a third chance. Lamela was on his way, now his one if our best players. Who knows whats around the corner.

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
