Also heard RM seem to have backed right off due the Bale's price tag. Looks like they are turning their attention to Suarez now.

As we sold Caulker we are down to having 3 CBs and all are injured for the start of the season. Looks like we are trying to convert Livermore into a CB for the first few games.
Why did you sell Caulker when you only have a few injury prone centre backs?

You're one quality centre back away from competing for the title IMO.

Great squad.

Great squad.

AVB didn't rate him and we got a decent offer of 8.6 million pounds so we took it. We are replacing him though, not sure who with atm.

We also got a decent offer for Siggy or around 9 mill which is more than we paid for him, some Bundesliga mob.

It hasn't been accepted or rejected but I dont wanna see Siggy go. The only reason I could see him being let go is that he has replaced Bale on the left wing as Bale plays in the hole now but Siggy plays much better of he plays centrally so he is being played out of position and hasn't hit the heights that we expected. Now we have strengthened our squad I cant see him being given a central role so perhaps he just may not fit our structure.

Do you have any hope for winning the title this year?

No team has a better group of central midfielders - Sandro, Capoue, Paulinho and Dembele is an awesome unit.

Plenty of quality in attack too with the best player in the league by far, Chadli, Lennon and a genuine goal scorer in Soldado.

Oh and arguably the best keeper in the league.

You're perhaps one attacking winger and a CB short.

I'll certainly be cheering Spurs on to break the stranglehold of the big guns. Still outsiders but decent value at 29-1.

There is talk that we have bid for both Andereweild and Eriksen from Ajax so that could be sorted in one foul swoop.

No one from the club has backed it up at this stage.

Winning the title ?

No

Just want a permanent top 4 spot

Fábio Coentrão from RM seems to want to come over to us, Portuguese left back has close ties to AVB

been trying that one for ages but its RM and they want Bale, but they also want to remain on good terms, no idea where its at atm

they are valuing him at 15mill and we value him at about half that, if it happens I think it will be a last minute deal

To be as unbiased as possible, Tots are a Class CB, Playmaker and Winger away from being a chance at the title, they have though made a huge leap into the top 3/4 race.

Plus on best player, when did Juan Mata or RVP play for Tottenham.

Tommy is not a Spurs fan and completely unbias, as Goon you'd be the last person to qualify as unbias

You'd have to be disappointed if that didnt start this year.. Damn good squad already to do it with. More additions and keeping Bale would make it a mandatory finish, surely?

Bias goes both ways, as a fan you can over rate and as a rival supporter could say say every player in your team is terrible. I was just giving a honest look at your team.

As a fan all I have to do is point too all his awards and say no more.

Ben Barba won the dally M, does that make him the best player in the world?

Hes a flashy goal scorer nothing more, had 4 assists in the epl.

RVP scored 26 assisted 9
JMM Scored 12 Assists 12

If i wanted to throw an Arsenal player in then Cazorla scored 12 and Assisted on 12.

In the end he scores flashy goal from outside the box, but creates rarely anything. if he works on playmaking, instead of the attempting to make the Sportscenter Top 10, then he will have a chance to move into the Best player in the league talks.

Until then hes a great goal scoring winger but too be called the best in the league is purely Over Rating the bloke

One of many the press are claiming may be..

I'm not sure he's the most popular person in hammers fans eyes after the way he left.

If have him back though, he'd be a good comment for Carroll up front..

i guess if you believe he's the best its all good, your entitled to your opinion , but if he was so good, then you wouldn't be playing on Thursday nights this season.

I've never said he is the best but most pundits in Europe think he is.

I can list his awards here if you like.
