Mate it’s fucking laughable.Yet start laughing at the same policy when we just signed that Ferguson kid from Sheff Utd...
Sigh
Moura has arguably been Spurs' best player in the last two seasons
Fucking newfans
The disrespect for Lucas is outrageous.
Lucas Moura is a good squad player. At £25m he has been a successful signing - one of our more successful in recent years. I think the hate he gets is unjustified. He's one of the few players we have that can actually dribble past opposition defenders, pops up with important goals and contributes well defensively - and he's full of pashun. It seems to have become fashionable for the football hipsters to shoot him down but I don't get it.
Anyway this is a digression from the original point which was the ludicrous notion that Eze or Stengs would be a more exciting signing than Bale.
I know this fetishisation of the latest Football Manager backed 19-year old from Holland is tempting but this is going too far.
Nah. I like Lucas, and he has been decent, but Son has been far and away the best player for me.

Squad needs quality depth. Lucas as a sub is greatNah. I like Lucas, and he has been decent, but Son has been far and away the best player for me.
I couldn’t agree more. Lucas is different level of quality to Lamela, yet he seems to get far more hate and criticism. It’s weird.The disrespect for Lucas is outrageous.

Oh come on man. He puts up decent stats if all you look at is goals/assists but anyone watching the games can tell you his link up play is horrible. It’s overreactions like this that cause the hate against Moura from some.Moura has arguably been Spurs' best player in the last two seasons
“We’re all about the youth as long as it’s Champo youth”Mate it’s fucking laughable.
So what is it then?
When did TAA play for a relegated team?
Curious.
Yes we should beIf Bale signs, will Mourinho still be looking to bring in another No9/striker...
Not against signing a striker, just don’t think we will if Bale arrives. We are almost certainly going to flog Kane, Son and Bale to death, yes. And we’d have Lucas, Stevie B, Lamela all to play wide at a pinch. We’d be the unluckiest team on the planet if the first choice three were all injured at the same time.Are we then giving up on Europa League and the Domestic Cups?
Or going with wingers forced into forward roles that has repeatedly let us down?
Or playing our 3 injury prone players in multiple competitions and multiple games a week?
I certainly agree lets stay away from paying 25 million for a mediocre guy that does nothing for our starting 11, but if we could get a guy super cheap like Bas Dost for 5 million why not have him come in to play Europa and Plymouth type games?
