Reports in Germany saying we will bid 17 million for draxler of schalke. That would be great if we got him as he has as much talent as the two eriks in our midfield. This actually shows poch has ambition for next season. Seems a different class to the defenders we're linked with? What do the eds, or fellow spurs think of this? (Blimey I'm sounding like hoddle waddle)

Aint you got enough midfielders . you lacked up front ade /soldado guy received very little service from shoot on site townsend. not here to criticise an over abundance of quality midfield lack of quality at the back and up front.
baldini will only bring in players sanctioned by levy baldini was only brought in because a no of clubs refuse to deal with him levy if they are a good its a levy buy if they are poor its the managers buy.
most of last seasons buys underperformed but it will be interesting to see how many he can move on [pumped up prices]

Yeah I agree mate. I thought we were shipping out Dawson to either you or hull, and a number of midfield players like siggurdson and capoue. This kid can play on the left (which even the poorest of teams such as Norwich exploited last season) so if he could provide cover for the new left back I won't be complaining. I still think bale left a large crater in the whole of our left hand side when he left.

Agree1 Disagree4

Not saying I want Dawson to stay. But If Verts is agitating for a move after the World Cup we would be foolish to let Dawson go without at least one new CB coming in.

Hey eds, are there any deals close at the moment? If not I assume poch is still assessing the squad and looking at targets.

{Ed002's Note - I have no way to measure "close" as it is subjective. There are certainly efforts being made to make a few changes to the team.}

Could you elaborate on that or is it still uncertain who those efforts involve?

Agree1 Disagree6

{Ed002's Note - Right now the club are looking for deals for Dzemaili and Savic.}

Really? So as usual nothing the press has even mentioned. I'm sure ed 008 has an opinion on whether they are good players or not. Would savic come at the expense of chiriches ed 002?

Agree1 Disagree3

{Ed002's Note - I don't think so.}

Hi ed. You mention savic. is this the same guy who playing for man city a few seasons ago? If so has he matured as remember he was prone to a few errors back then

Agree1 Disagree5

{Ed008's Note - He was only 20-21 when he playing for Man City then and for me has improved whilst playing for Fiorentina still can improve his game with his positioning etc but I'm not sure if he's better then Chiriches.

Thanks ed008. I like chiriches just think we need a steady back 4 walker, vert, chiriches and a new lb let them settle together

Agree1 Disagree6

{Ed008's Note - Yeah that's the strongest back 4 a LB should be No1 priority.

Ideally you want 1 CB to be more ball playing and have more speed, and the other to be a more steady traditional defender. For example when Manchester United had Ferdinand (more ball playing) and Vidic (more traditional).

Verts and Chiriches are both of the ball playing style. Really they should not be playing alongside each other as they have the same weaknesses and this is then easy to exploit. You need someone alongside Verts that will cover his weaknesses.

If you consider (as many do) Kaboul to be too injury prone and Dawson to be too old then you need replacements of that style to form a good partnersip. So I think we need to invest in a strong CB as well as a strong LB.
