What are peoples thoughts on us buying HULK. If the rumours are true then him and a decent LB would be an excellent january.

I think hulk is our lw position sorted!


Personally I don't feel hulk is the answer. We need someone to score goals. I think chicarito or dzecko is a must and coentrao for lb

I don't know about you guys, but am I not the only one who has been utterly disappointed and feels worried about each game we play which isn't in the Europa League. I feel that money was wasted in that summer window and could have been spent on in January. Nacer Chadli, He is a very classy player and has shown for Belgium but has been having mysterious injuries keeping him out of the match day squads. From what we have seen, there have been glimpses of quality but we haven't seen enough to tell yet. Chistian Eriksen, probably one of the bargains of the summer window. This guy is fantastic but he hasn't set the world alight yet. Erik Lamela, I feel very sorry for him because I have watched him when he was at Roma and he was exceptional but AVB has been I feel very harsh on him because that Sheriff game showed what he could do and hopefully with the injury to Eriksen, Lamela gets his chance. Vlad Chiriches he's been solid since joining making few mistakes and doing the job like he should. Etienne Capoue he looks like he could be a great sweeper/dm but injury has affected his start at spurs. Paulinho has be probably our best signing this season. Finally Roberto Soldado, he's shown just how good he can be in spain but I feel was the wrong man for the job. He's physically very weak and doesn't seen to be able to read the game like the great centre forwards of the game do. Interesting though how something like 65% of this seasons goals he has been involved in. I think that Soldado should be sold in january and replaced with a more traditional centre forward and trequartista like Diego Costa, Fernando Llorente, Edin D�eko and Romelu Lukaku. Also a key point is AVB. I feel he has gotten it all wrong this season. Brilliant defensively as for a team with the capability and squad as good as Tottenham's should be but lacklustre up front. For me, it's the formation. 4-2-3-1. It just isn't working. Soldado doesn't have the capability of playing up front on his own in the Premier League. I think having thought clearly about where it's going wrong and having watched footage of our poor quality in matches have come up with a 4-1-2-1-2 formation. Because our midfield and defence are strong but we need to play with 2 strikers. I think that the holding midfielder position is working well as well as the attacking midfielder. This also let's us play 2 wide men which is what we have been doing all season. So based on this, this is my team for the sunday clash with Manchester City at the Etihad:
-Lloris GK
-Walker RB
-Dawson� CB
-Chiriches CB
-Vertonghen LB
-Sandro DM
-Paulinho RM
-Townsend LM
-Lamela AM
-Defoe RS
-Soldado LS

REPLY WHAT YOU THINK :)


Can't play Defoe and Townsend in same team as neither know how to look up for a pass! At present would play Dembele over Paulinho as Paulinho slows us up too much, needs a rest! Would play kaboom over Dawson everyday of the week!


Davo, its unbelievable that Avb picks Dawson when he plays with this defence high line, its stupid. I remember watching Porto a few years ago when I didn't know much of Avb and eventhough they won the match I was watching in the Portugese league I couldn't believe how exposed they were when their defenders pushed up the pitch.
