twitter has gone mental tonight about spurs being close to deals for Rodriguez and Schneiderlin. I feel a bit for Bentaleb IMO he got better every game he played for us and had a cracking World Cup but I don't see him getting much game time if Schneiderlin comes in which will be a shame for his development.

Im looking forward to seeing fast attacking football back at the lane, if we can get a good young CB in then we could have a great season COYS

Sorry but we must have been watching different players . Got better with every game?

DOOGIE
Fast attacking football is at the lane every week, just watch the opposition

Sorry. I am missing something obviously? You are all getting excited about signing a player who has an ACL injury and cannot take a medical? We got a misfiring striker and another who is now liable to get malaria anytime and will still likely go ACN and we are all thinking that this is OK? Obviously I am on the wrong planet. We need Bony so why and the Italian guy Destro Soldado and Adeybayor ain't going to cut it and 99.9% of you know that so why are we getting excited about JR? And when is it likely he'll be fighting fit again and idea or update on that?

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Adebayor will go to the ACN but obviously if we sign bony then he's not going to the ACN? well he is, so we'd be in the same position come january. j-rod is a QUALITY signing, COYS :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Adebayor has retired from Togo has he not?

Agree0 Disagree0

Didn't ade come out of international retirement? Also isn't the asking price for Bony 24 million? If your saying go get him at that price you must be on glue!

Rodriguez is young and talented, yes coming back from serious injury but hopefully will mean the price tag is more reasonable and if Poch wants him why not?

Schneiderlin will be a good signing if we get him although 20m seems expensive.

I can see why Poch would go for these guys, both play used to playing in his system so transition will be accelerated.

I think we just need to trust our new manager with an emphasis on TIME!

Agree0 Disagree0

Is Jay Rodriguez a quality signing.?

He only produced last season, the season before he scored 6 goals.
Personally I'm not convinced, I hope he proves me wrong obviously providing we sign him.

Agree2 Disagree0

I guess its a question of if you support the manager and his plan. Obviously JRod fits and performed within that plan, when fit.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree to a certain extent YC but is everyone not getting a bit ahead of themselves, Poch is record is not great he again had 1 good season at Southampton only won 36% of games at Espanyol.

I'm backing him all the way but I honestly think fans are thinking he's going to work wonders.

Agree1 Disagree1

I guess it depends on your expectations. I expect us to finish somewhere between 5th-7th this coming season. There is simply too much to do to re-establish the team and then push on for Top 4 in my opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes we have a lot of typical Spurs getting carried away - MoPo has done very little as a manager so far. Yes he may bring us some more attractive football (hopefully) but, he has no experience when it comes to our level of top 4-6 and, we need to see how the system works for us anyway.
We're all supporting him but I'm not proclaiming him as the saviour and chosen one just yet and I think our track record says as much about why as his does!
As for signing a player with a torn cruciate - ridiculous given our aspirations as fans but shows the level of our board's willingness to match them for a while. Stadium and balance sheet are the priorities.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree with you YC hopefully we can finish 5th - 7th & push on next season, I personally think Liverpool & Everton will struggle with the additional European games this season like we have of late, Manchester United will be a totally different team this year, I expect them to be in the top 3 this season as I can see them making a few more top signings before the window closes

Gooner in peace guys.
Some players rise to greatness that rise above club loyalties. Say Greaves for you Henry for us. You have a truly great man in your history that we should all recognise, Walter Tull. Do you think it would be an idea for your supporters & all others irrespective of loyalties get together & push for some recognition, at the least a Plaque, but more important a statue to this great man & player when your new stadium is built.

As far as I know there's an exhibition been run which The Tottenham Trust is involved in & I think there's a play in the pipeline about his life. I don't know if I agree about a statue because if you give one ex-player a statue then who's to say 50 other players should have one also, I think if your going to have a statue then it should be a manager, having a load of statues just demeans it but I'm sure something will be in the Tottenham museum.
Nice thoughtful post sagalout & appreciated

Well said sagalout.Walter Tull is a true hero in every sense of the word.I live in the Folkestone area where Walter was born.In the town there is a plaque in his honour in the local garden of remembrance.The sports pavilion at his old primary school is also named after him.I think it would be a fitting tribute to this amazing man if he could be honoured in some way at our new stadium.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree but as said, we couldn't have statues of all . Nothing to stop us having plaques though .
