    So Spurs just signed Erik Lamela too? We won't have a prayer of even coming 4th at this rate. BUY WENGER - OR IT'S BYE. #AFC

    His youtube compilation video looked great. Was way more impressive than Willians one IMO.

    I said a good while back, I'd prefer Lamela to Willian too. Lamela is more of a natural replacement of Bale. Quite direct, while Willian hasn't looked great the few times I've seen him.

    This ITK has put the Spurs forums in a good mood, needs salt

    Basically, RM are pissed at Chelsea for nicking Willian and delaying it all, so are offering to sweeten the deal to get back at them by offering a player better than Willian on loan

    link here

    Kaka, Ozil or Morata please :D

    With Lamela and Chirchi signed, if we sign up Eriksen I'll be completely over the moon with our signings.

    Anyone else added will be just a lovely bonus on top :D

    There's talk that Roma and us are discussing swapping Benny for Balzaretti. He's also a left back, he will be 32 come December though.

    The squad is stronger and hopefully, although it was thrilling to watch, we won't be relying on one person to grab the draw or all 3 points at the death.

    Heard a great quote today:

    "Teams used to fear playing against Gareth Bale, not they'll fear playing against Tottenham Hotspur"

    In fairness to the boy, his sale has allowed us to rebuild our squad with top quality players. For that I thank him.

    I don't know Dave haven't ever heard of him until now.

    I wonder is he gonna be a stop gap for this season considering his age?

    @RishiChico: Chadli
    Paulinho
    Capoue
    Soldado
    Lamela
    Eriksen
    Chiriches = approx £108m

    Bale
    Caulker
    Dempsey
    Huddlestone
    Parker = approx £108m

    money very well spent from Levy great to see him finally having a manager to believe in .baldinis role cannot be underestimated either..he is prob our signing of the season..

    If he is anyway better than BAe Ill take him as back up to Rose who is still finding his feet ..:D.

    I havnt even heard of him so Im guessing he has had a low key career to date or otherwise I prob would have noticed him at some stage through the years

    Would ye rate Rose as good enough to be our starting left back though? I'm not sure if he's good enough if we intend to be pushing for honors.

    What age is he? Maybe he's a candidate to improve?

    He improved hugely last year when on loan at Sunderland. He is lightning quick, has a great shot and can cross. Makes positional mistakes but can improve I think. With the pace he and Walker have it would make us lethal on break. He is 23. Think AVB is a fan based on comments and teams picked since per season

    Rose, like Walker, is a terrible defender. Both give away stupid free kick after stupid free kick. I have no doubt that Walker cost us about three goals from stupid free kicks.... There is no way we can afford to have that kind of player on the left hand side also - especially as we seem to be playing zonal marking now too.
