Lamela is a brilliant player, cannot wait to see him in the PL.

As for the Baines story we really don't need him, but I imagine him and Fellaini will join us now.

Spurs are looking quality, only problem could be things like with so many new players them needing time to gel together, play as a team and such, but with a good manager like Villas Boas I can't see that being to much of a problem. Should be easily in the top 4 if they get in their stride quickly

They're getting Coentrao as part of the Bale deal, are they not?

Not from what I last read somewhere. He doesn't want to come to England and preferences remaining in Spain.

Quite sure it will just be a straight cash deal. Some three stage payment system that will span over the 6 year contract signed. The quicker Madrid make these payments could mean saving 10% from the total fee agreed.

How true that is though, I'm not entirely sure.

I wouldn't be surprised if Spurs fuck us in the ass on Sunday. I can't believe how bad our window has been compared to theirs.

At the Emirates this weekend isn't it?

Atmosphere's going to be fucking toxic.

It will end a draw imo, we have too many new players that need to gel.

As for a basic starting eleven
GK -Lloris
RB - Walker
CB - Vertonghen, Dawson
LB - Rose
DMC - Capoue
CM - Paulinho, Eriksen
AMR - Lamela
AML - Chadli
ST - Soldado

Can see it being a turgid 0-0.

Spurs will probably set up with all 3 of Paulinho, Dembele and Capoue (or Sandro if he's fit) and just attempt to kill the game and nick a goal, draw is a better result than an expansive performance resulting in defeat.

Not going to happen. The Turkish media link everybody to Galatasaray, this'll be one of the many times they're talking bullshit.

If we lose Di Maria to fucking Galatasaray I'll be raging. It was bad enough seeing Luiz Gustavo move to Wolfsburg.


I wish I shared your confidence.

Last summer they said Demba Ba had joined Gala when they didn't even bid. Hardly reliable. In this case, I think I heard a claim di Maria has rejected a contract offer from Gala.

It's pretty standard nowadays to win the home game then draw/lose the away. In all honesty i'd be surprised if we get anything from it as we'll have nothing on the bench that's gonna come on and change the game if needed. Lets just hope that tomorrow there's a press conference where Wenger announces the signings 3 or 4 top players and they are all registered in time for the game. That's the only bit of hope i've got atm that is making this season seem worth while.

Tottenham have agreed a deal for a defender.

Obviously Levy listened to me saying they were short at the back still.

Taking the difference in taxes between Russia and the UK the paycut is absolutely massive.

Wouldn't mind us going in for Torres now, simply because there isn't any other fucking strikers available

I'd pay £25-30m for Benteke. He's going to win matches and if you don't sign him now Tottenham will sign him this time next year.

I guess so.

I was more amazed we were linked with him - we'd probably try and get him on £30,000 a week pre-tax.

Didn't he sign a new contract just a few weeks ago?
