Have you seen a lot of him? He only turned 21 last month.

Defended well against Belgium in the second round anyway, I remember that game.

Anyway, it's a myth that Walker is good going forward, he rarely scores or assists.

I was very impressed by Yedlin's final ball in the Belgium. Every cross was dangerous and crying out to be attacked.

Surely he can't defend any worse than Walker...

Iv seen a quite a few of his games with the sounders, he is a super fast athlete and good in the mls but i dont think he is a good defender.

Fair enough, you know what you're talking about. Maybe he's young enough to develop into a defender or maybe he has a future as a winger. He'd definitely be good to watch anyway.

Daily Mail claim Tottenham Hotspur could complete the signing of DeAndre Yedlin today. #THFC

MailSport understand Tottenham are close to agreeing a £2.75M for Yedlin and he would join January, after the finish of the MLS. #THFC

Goal understand Queens Park Rangers are preparing a £10M bid for Andros Townsend. #THFC pic.twitter.com/k0qzlx0SGk

Goal believe Spurs are reluctant to sell Townsend with Mauricio Pochettino being impressed by him during pre season. #THFC

Probably more lies but I agree, He's young, I'd like to see what he could do under Poch, offer them Lennon instead.

Lennon and Townsend will both be staying.

Latest ITK says the same

My only comment:
Poch is very happy with all the players so at this point, i don't expect too many more incoming.
Obviously this can and probably will change but it is current.

Centre Back will happen.

This just popped up too,
Marca claim Atletico Madrid are in talks with Tottenham to bring Roberto Soldado back to Spain. #THFC pic.twitter.com/ssoTT63pBs

It's Marca so it's most likely made up

I'd be surprised if Soldado left at this stage. I suppose it's not beyond the realms that we'd get Bony in and let him go, but unlikely.

I still think Soldado could get us 20 goals this season. Confidence and service are all he needs.

Spurs do a pre-season tour of the US which was as much to do with football on the pitch as marketing the club in the US off the pitch and then we just happen to be linked to one of the MLS's up and coming young stars. Very suspicious.

Suspicious in what way?

We've bought players from our summer tours in the past. Khumalo and Mabizela spring to mind, but I'm sure there were others. Not that those two would inspire us to do it again.

Exactly.

I'm not saying its a publicity stunt. God knows there's a lot better ways to spend 3 or 4 million on marketing then buying a player who will most likely hang around the reserves for the next 2 or 3 years but it feels like it could be part of the decision .. to have that link to in the U.S. and the MLS. I know i'm been over cynical but thats was my first thought when I heard the story.

To be fair he is an international for a decent enough national team so he's already head and shoulders above Khumalo and the likes.

Devo from Dublin · 08-08-2014 11:43am

Kaboul rumoured to be valued at £6m....injury prone..
Vermaelen £15m older and injury prone..

Am i missing something?

I know what you mean. It might be a sorta kill two birds with one stone job. But, although I've only seen this guy play one game, I confidently predict he's head and shoulders above the two I mentioned. He's like Walker, only even faster, and can actually cross a ball. Hopefully he's not as bad a defender as Walker, but he may well be.

Vermaelen had one bad injury I think. Kaboul has had a lot.

Vermaelen is just a strange case because both Barca and United have simultaneously an urgent need for a ball playing centre back and there just aren't any around who fit the bill as much as him.

Villarreal confirmed the signing of Victor Ruiz. More than likely Musacchio's replacement. It's close.

Even if we don't sign anyone else after this I'm very happy with this transfer window, strengthened our defence

2nd Row Donkey · 08-08-2014 3:17pm

^^^ true enough but we better hope our MF forwards chip in with plenty of goals this year 'cos Ade and Soldado aint gonna be enough

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has said Tottenham target Morgan Schneiderlin is being difficult. #THFC

Koeman: We spoke to him this morning, situation is difficult because the player makes it difficult." #THFC

Koeman: "The situation hasn't changed. We won't sell him. He isn't in squad tomorrow because he says he isn't in a place to play." #THFC

Koeman: "So we've given him the weekend off and Monday he has to come back." #THFC

I can't help but feel sympathy for Southampton. We've been in their position many times over the last few years..... And it feels sh*t.

If Musacchio comes to Spurs and we get a decent striker I would be more than happy,we defiantly need a striker.

Villarreal have just unveiled Víctor Ruiz, who joins on loan from Valencia. Mateo Musacchio's move to Tottenham should now go through.

2nd Row Donkey · 11-08-2014 3:03pm

A picture of MM holding up the new jersey any minute now hopefully!

Vermellen to Barca means their interest in Vertoghen is all but dead. Hopefully we'll hear about a new contract there too.

2nd Row Donkey · 11-08-2014 3:05pm

Hopefully we'll get a new attacker in too. We still havent replaced Defoe. It would need to be someone pretty decent and a significant improvement on Kane, otherwise just give Kane a shot in the cup games etc.

Have you heard something new on this?

Last I heard Villareal had offered him a bumper new contract on almost same terms as Spurs offered.

Thats disappointing from our point of view, if true.

Itks say the player contract is agreed since last week, it's down to Villarreal who are looking to make more from this deal. River Plate stand to make 35% due to a sell on clause. Player was only on 20k so we could easily triple his wages. I've read Spurs may need to buy the agent out of the deal and then offer Villarreal more.

Kiith · 11-08-2014 4:07pm

It needs to be sorted asap. We really need another quality CB, as we can't rely on Dawson. Hopefully Dier can step up and play alongside Kaboul, but i'd much rather a more experienced defender.

DubPerryman · 12-08-2014 9:39am

If this ITK is to be believed, we better get the popcorn out for Jim White and his crew on Sky Sports News.

I have been told that it will all be last day shopping at Spurs this year. (again)
waiting for the right player at the right price
coach happy with the players he has knows what he wants but DL not going to over pay like he did last year

We need 7 or so to leave. Poch said he wants a squad of 25, we already have 33 including 11 attacking midfielders so expect a quick fire sale on deadline day

so who's for the elbow.

I'd say we have a few loan candidates .... Carroll, Bentaleb, BAE, Mason, maybe Kane if we sign a replacement.

As for hard cash... if the offer is right, i'd say Dawson (QPR), Naughton, Vlad, Sandro (:mad:) ... hard to know with the lads who where at the WC but I wouldnt be surprised to see a big player like Paulinho, chadli or Dembele leave on a season long loan.
