alfieconn Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I don't understand Spurs opting for him, when they could have got Benteke at the same price before he signed a contract with Villa. At least Benteke can run at a defence, this guy just patrols the penalty box looking lost and does nothing outside the box either. A waste of money. Thats a new one on me Huh? http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/index.php?threads/tottenham-plan-%C2%A328m-offer-for-aston-villa-star-christian-benteke.103270/page-2 Re-igniting their interest doesn't say much for Soldado does it? Paul Lambert will be able to stick to his guns and demand not a penny less than the £25m valuation that Villa have put on the player. The question then becomes whether he's worth such a fee. http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/tottenham/id/998?cc=4716 All paper talk ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question then becomes whether he's worth such a fee. http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/tottenham/id/998?cc=4716 What it says Ups is that Adebayor isn't going to play for us again and Defoe is 30yo, not very good and still worth something if we sell him soon. Were also in four competitions and need back up. You're a little off the pace today methinks! The post was meant more as a response for alfie who didn't seem to think they could have got Benteke for the same price as Soldado appx, something you agreed with earlier and described as a 'fcuck up'. I don't think thats a little off pace at all However regarding your comment, that's your interpretation, but why do you need two 27 million centre forwards? They could never play together in that Spurs team from what I've seen and which one will be happy on the bench? I know who would be in my team, as one person said in the Spurs blog "if Liverpool had signed Soldado instead of us, we'd be claiming we dodged the bullet".

Give the guy some tissues. Bring out mummy's raincoat. "We had so many good, good chances that I think the result is very unfair".

carmine Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I don't agree with the "unfair" bit but he has every right to be bitterly disappointed. Many Spurs don't seem to understand the rather crucial role Tim Krul played yesterday and are spitting blood at our manager. Must admit i'm rather incensed by reading some Spurs forums today. Reminds me how thick so many so called football fans really are. Not only do i think Lloris might well have prevented their goal but on another day we might have put four past them. It just wasn't going to be our day and Krul was simply magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 That Loic Remy would have been a better bet than Benteke. He's looking quite the composed striker at the moment. And that Paulinho, didn't he bottle that tackle that led to the goal, I was quite surprised. Loic Remy over Benteke!! Are you having a laugh!! Its too early in the day to be on the sauce mate. I suppose you also thought Sandro had a bad game right? He's scored 7 premier league goals, against some decent opposition (and yourselves). Benteke already has a horror movie of howlers to his name. Remy has a better conversion rate than Benteke, whether you like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last seasons performance speaks for itself so no point in me justifying really. Remy has impressed me so far this season i will admit but i doubt you'd find many that would give him serious consideration over Benteke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just wasn't going to be our day and Krul was simply magnificent. The time to make any assessment is at Xmas.....Krul was indeed superb but there is a lack of creavivity in the midfield and a worrying tendency to passes going astray leading to loss of possession. That is a training ground issue and must be put right. Finally <deleted> play Lamela! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmine Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 As had been rightly stated Remy was let in by a very unexpected and appalling attempted "tackle" by Paulinho of all people.

YoungBrit Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 AVB certainly needs to earn his money here at half time! The way your defending, playing the offside trap, with Remy's pace and Cabaye vision and ability to pass I can see you needing to score 3 to win this game. We weren't playing the offside trap Sorry your right, a high line as you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungBrit Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Is Lloris starting today? Surely he must be if he was fit enough to continue last week? Makes a total mockery of AVB's assertion that Lloris was fit to continue last weekend and everything was done by the book, even after the keeper said he didn't remember the contact and subsequently it was reported today he hasn't felt well all week.This is not some joke its a players future health and wellbeing. AVB's compounds his posturing by criticising his critics in a few mumbling interviews. Naive ,stupid ,irresponsible watching him when the accident happened was like watching a deer caught in the headlights,he didn't have a clue what to do and ignored his medical staff. Plenty of ex Rugby players and boxers out there with slurred speech and constant headaches Talking <deleted> again and i'll repeat what i already said : Have to laugh at all these do gooders saying Lloris "should have come off" whats it got to do with anyone apart from Spurs, Lloris and Lloris 's family. And anyway Head of Medical Services Wayne Diesel said: "Once the relevant tests and assessments were carried out we were totally satisfied that he was fit to continue playing." How can he be fit to play on but then not fit on medical advice to play a week later? Left out on medical advice. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24889967 This still gets me, he was fit to continue but not play a week later.

It's a bit namby pamby to say the result was unfair, but that's how it goes at times and you take it on the chin and move on, football games aren't decided on fairness. Lloris is so quick of his line that it allows the Spurs defence to play a high line, he has proven to be a really good buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
