With Abidal on a free, do you reckon he's worth a punt? We NEED a left back {Ed008's Note - He's not at the same level as he was before he had cancer..

In a word no

Thanks ed, I just thought at the moment almost any LB is better than Assou Ekotto

With Danny rose coming back we don't need another left back, he preformed very well at Sunderland and he's young so we are set for left backs

As an attacking left back he's been great at sunderland, defensively he's still got a lot to learn, so I don't think he will be first choice yet.
b/s

Rose is not good enough for CL football. That's the level we should be aiming for. Sell him to Sunderland and put the money towards someone better.

Spurs players coming in:

Definitely: Villa (8mil going up to 10il) and Ince (6 mil)
Maybe: Damiao and Eriksen (vertonghen recommending move spurs to eriksen)

Should be done within next two weeks

Would love to see Eriksen coming in. Unlike the much-vaunted Damiao, anytime I've watched this kid, he's destroyed the opposition - and remember that's been against the likes of Champions League rivals like Dortmund and Man City, as well as bossing it in the Eredivisie for Ajax. Unfortunately, we are in the hands of Mr Levy and if we are going to stand any chance of getting him, we need to move fast and not at the usual snail's pace. Sadly, Liverpool are already using Daniel Agger's international links with Eriksen to smooth out a possible bid - I think your idea of exploiting Vertonghen's previous association with him is well worth exploring.

Personally, I'd love to see us grab Eriksen and Alderweireld from Ajax, Shaw from Southampton, and either Negredo, Cardozo or, dare I say it, Damiao? Even Villa would do a decent job, although I'm not convinced. In return, we could do with shedding the wages of Bentley, Gomes, Gallas, Assou Ekotto, Adebayor (more difficult than simply saying that!) and Livermore. Read an interesting post suggesting Juve's Brazilian midfield enforcer Felipe Melo as a possible transfer target. Could be a decent shout as a replacement/accomplice for a recharged Sandro.

Aldereiweld? seriously guys watch football will you he is shocking

Agree. I would love to see the following:

Eriksen & Alderweireld
Damiao
Aubameyang
Capoue
Rose (recalled)

I think they are all realistic options, without Bale going at a cost of, around 60m. Realistically, the club could generate around 30m for the sale of players like Adebayor, Dempsey, Livermore, Parker, Huddlestone, Bentley, Naughton, BAE, Gallas, Dawson.

Although realistically, I can't see Spurs spending that sort of money unless Bale goes. let's hope Levy is willing to speculate this year. Hopefully, this squad for next season:

GK: Lloris, Friedel.

DEF: Walker, Alderweireld, Kaboul, Caulker, Vertonghen, Fryers, Rose.

CM: Capoue, Sandro, Dembele, Holtby, Carroll.

ACM: Lennon, Townsend, Eriksen, Sigurdsson, Bale, Aubameyang.

ST: Damiao, Defoe, Aubayemang.

Isn't Melo in Turkey?

And as for Aldereiweld, Hmmm No thanks, He is very poor would be another BAE, to many mistakes.

Maybe a cheeky bid for Skrtel for Loserpool, when he is on his game IMO a very good defender.

Still in dire need of 2 strikers and as per usual every man and his dog is linked with us, but nothing ever happens quickly at the Lane, would love to see David Villa and a. n. other, think Villa's winning mentality and experience would be very useful around the dressing room, we also need another winger not sure who, I like Affelayt and a center midfielder Eriksen would be awesome, but very slim chance, I like the look of James McCarthty (Young irish guy from Wigan) and lasty we need a LB, Shaw from Soton is a good shout, but think we need a little more experience so maybe someone like Baines, Alexsander Kolarov from ManC. {Ed008's Note - Melo was on a 2year loan at Galatasary and they don't want to make the deal permanent from Juventus.

Ince will only move for first team football.

Eriksen likely to go to BVB.

As a Liverpool fan passing by you can have Skrtle, a cheeky bid of a bag of peanuts and some maple syrup and I'll drive him to WHL myself, I wouldn't wish him on Spurs. EVER.

Also of interest Aldereiweld is going to Roma I believe and isn't very good. I can see that all fans see is Belgium CB Ajax; must be as good as Vertonghen.
