Tottenham Thread

Good news for tiny totts fans, they're guaranteed to get to Wembley next season.

Tottenham Hotspur will hold their home Champions League games at Wembley next season, the stadium confirmed on Saturday.

As Sportsmail reported earlier this week, the Football Association and Spurs have also reached an agreement for the Premier League club to hire the stadium for the full 2017-18 season if required while their new stadium is being built.

Do you reckon there is a clause if Spurs got through to a semi final, that the opposing team can contest it being played at Wembley due to it being Spurs home ground?

Probably a ruling somewhere !

I don't think you need to worry about that too much.

What a strange article, it's almost as though Rucker Haringey believes there's only Arsenal and Spurs in the Premier with money to spend.

What kind of name is Rucker Haringey anyway? I have to assume a yank as he uses the term "double pivot", what?

Anyway looking forward to David Pleat and others trying to pronounce "Granit Xhaka"; and what an awesome name that is for a defensive midfielder.

Looks like this double pivot thing is catching on as the French are at it now

Poch, Perez and Mitchell were all at the Ireland v Holland match the other night.

Vincent Janssen at 12m pounds looks like a Poch / Levy signing all day long to me

[alfieconn]

The 5 players from Spurs in the England team cost a total of 13m pounds which when put against the cost of Sterling @ approx 44m seems quite good value

^I don't think anyone could disagree with your 5 v 1 valuation assessment.

It wasn't an assessment it was actual figures

"seems quite good value" was YOUR assessment of the comparative values of 5 v 1.

Sterlings been a mixture of rubbish and embarrassingly bad, in which order i'm not sure.

[Bredbury Blue]

^Think all City fans have become frustrated with him. Seems to have lost all confidence.

Unlike most thought sterling did ok in the first England game made a number of lung busting runs and threatened around the box but in the second. game didn't do much after his miss in the ?? Minute,, but running into a sea of well enuf drilled defenders is a tall ask for anyone of his ilk he's basically a wingers and in decades of watching footie ain't seen many that are consistent week in week out, seems an unfortunate part of their nature.

"he's basically a wingers and in decades of watching footie ain't seen many that are consistent week in week out, seems an unfortunate part of their nature".

Hazard springs to mind. Brilliant one season; nonexistent the next.

Absolutely and the value of Sterling is now plummeting.

[rijit]

Yep,for every 'winner' there's a Bentley or a rebrov lurking, think we can count our blessings with poch another manager might well have seen lamella in a very diferent light...

Wanyama in Chadli out I presume.

[rijit]

Maybe but can't see anyone in and around the starting line up wanting away, why would they? But tbh can't see this newbie getting in the team atm maybe decent cover and competition for dembele, when he went out we seriously missed him and god forbid if we lost dier !!! seems totally ridiculous 11 million for cover but there you go.

CL this season...we need better quality overall rij.

Nice player Wanyama and at maybe better than a fair price.

Yeah when he's on his game,, inconsistent has been a re occurring critism. And when a player signs for less than his last fee,, hate to say it but alarm bells start going off,, a little,, who knows maybe we've pulled one off,, time will tell

Looks like Janssen from Ak Alkmaar in for £16m....anyone seen much of him?

I certainly haven't but the feedback is good and its a very Poch style signing. Young player already showing a lot of potential and happy to fight for a starting place.
