Rival watch and other teams

Modric replacement

 

Just asking, but who are Arenal? Are they really a rival? If so, what league do you and they play in?

 

You stick your neck out - we'll drop the blade.

 

Ensil?

 

If his first comment on this thread gave a hint then his second one should have sent alarms ringing.

 

Can't see Ensil using the word 'ain't' . Could be him though...

 

ensil, if it is you, you owe me a beer

People say he was the king of the trolls but that's an insult to trolls.

 

Modric has only played half an hour of football for Real and already won more than he did throughout his 4 year career at the Spuds

 

Right on ossie

 

VDV off to Hamburg.

So not only does AVB sell their best player, he sells their second best as well

 

Bizarre! I'll be stunned if he doesn't replace VDV unless Gylfi S was his initial replacement anyway.

Dempsey looks like he's going to Villa! Already a very interesting deadline day

 

I always knew VDV was a goner the second AVB came in. Signing Gylfi confirmed it.

The only thing I'm waiting for now is for G*llas and Adebayor to fall out with AVB.

 

I reckon Swansea will be a big rival this year. No Euro fixtures, and playing classy football! They will be up there--mark my words!

 

Ryan Babel off to London.

It'll probably be QPR but I'd love him at Chelsea. I hugely rate him

 

Do we really need him though? Got plenty of wingers. I'm foaming at the mouth at the prospect of Llorente or Schurrle!

Moutinho to Spuds aswell, what a signing. Should have gone for him last season instead of Meireles

 

He is a natural striker. Rafa ruined him by playing him out wide.

Moutinho is class for the Spuds, major statement of intent

 

Don't forget though, AVB made all these world class signings for us and look what happened

 

They'll find a way to mess it up, this is Spurs after all

The reality is though they aren't adding to the squad they are just replacing what they have (unlike Arsenal).

We may have lost Drogba, but early evidence suggests Hazard can be just as influential in a different way. And we haven't even talked about Oscar, Marin or Moses yet. Torres is practically a new signing in this form as well. I still think our squad is considerably better than theirs so they aren't a worry to us. It's Arsenal who should really be bricking it, everyone around them is building and they are stuck in the same spot with the tires burning

 

Fair play to Spurs but can't understand how they are getting him so 'cheap'. His buy out is about 40 million euros I think and Porto are tough negotiators. How can they turn down 39.5 million for hulk and then sell Moutinho for 22 odd?

Doesn't make sense.

The loss of King, Modric and VDV is huge but they have bought well to replace these.
