January transfer window rumors and gossip

Attacking midfielder are okay. Could be better. Certainly could be improved but there are more pressing area like centre midfield/defensive midfield cover

Verts = Needs to be dropped. Bad attitude and lazy
Alderweireld = Quality
Wimmer = Still to get a run out
Dier = Being played DM. Needs to be an out and out CB.
We still need a strong CB

Eriksen = Needs to be involved for 90 minutes, not in patches
Clinton/Son/Chadli/Townsend = All attack from the flanks
Alli = Quality (still young and unproven)
Pritchard = Still to get a proper run out
Dembele = Good, but needs to get into the box, not stopping and holding off players
Carroll = Too light
We still need a strong box to box AM

I can't believe you think signing more centre backs is the answer. Do people never learn.

And we have 9 players who can play in our 3 attacking mid positions. That's not even including Lamela.

Of course we could have better players. We're bloody Spurs.

What if Alderweireld gets a knock/injured? Vertongen doesn't give a monkeys at the moment, he thinks he should be at Real Madrid! Dier has been playing at DM and and Wimmer is yet to start. League Cup, Europa and league fixtures aplenty. We're actually pretty light here.
Eriksen injured. Alli, Son, Clinton, Pritchard and Carroll all need proper Premier League experience to see them get going. So, Chadli, Townsend and Dembele with 1 or two of the above looks pretty light to me, especially when you are looking at playing 3 games in 8 days, long trips in Europe, very tough League Cup fixture etc etc

Oh yeah, and Lamela. He gives me the wobblies. Heedless!

I'm sorry, I couldn't be bothered going through every player with you. Vertonghen thinks he's at Real Madrid. Eriksen injured for a few days. I'm not sure if you're being serious.

You want Spurs to have 3 top class players for every position. You need to support a different club. Seriously. This season will only cause you stress, I promise.

Fazio is still there currently. Have to agree with Mulla,on the midfield front we are light on quality in that front midfield 3( we are even worse for the holding 2 behind them) .

Alli looks like he is going to be a star,but he hasn't proven anything.
Townsend has done nothing, Dembele may have been good against Leicester,but he does that every once in a while and then disappears for 10/12 games. Pritchard and Carroll are worth a go in League cup and Europa league,but they won't cut it at the business end of the premier league,at least not yet.


I suppose it all depends where he uses Njie and Son, are they going to play wide in that front midfield 3 or are we going to see a different formation altogether now that Poch has more forward options.

I think a DM is a bigger need,because a combo from Dier/Bentaleb/Mason won't cut it.

You gave a list of players, I gave my opinion on each. Yes I would like 3 top class players for centre back. We play every game with two and one as back up! You gave a list of players and only one of them (Alderweireld) has Premier League experience that I would class as being top quality. Some have got pedigree but lack just that little something (backbone/bite/fire in the belly, call it what you want). Some are young and have yet to be blooded, and some are new so will take time. Yes I would like 3 top class attacking midfielders. We haven't got 1 top class AM never mind 3!!

mullaj00

Consistent, if unremarkable, performance from all of our players at once would be a good place to start and might lead to us trying to break back into the top 4. We haven't had that in a while!

Ok. I can tell you now that you are gonna be a very frustrated man this season and next season, and probably the following season. Spurs don't have a top class team and won't for the foreseeable future. Are you just gonna moan about it your whole life? I'm not saying that to have a go at you, but seriously, think about that.

Nah! Would just like to have someone that we could really shout about. Kane will get there, would just love a quality player to 'gush' about! :eek:

I'm not sure about Wanyama, I think he's decent but would far prefer one of the German lads we were linked with, Bender or Kramer, someone a bit more cultured.

pogba maybe;)

Song would do at this stage.

Good for him. Delighted.

Can't post a link from the app but sky sports have a story running with quotes direct from Pulis which sounds like there
may be some hope in our quest to sign Berahino.

spursman11
