    Apparently he's a judas. And he scored against them and ran along their south stand doing the ****** sign at them and swearing and shouting at them.

    Moutinho has come so close to playing in the Prem.I think Spurs have dodged a bullet there.

    Hmmmm. As ecstatic as I am, I still have concerns over CB.

    Gazzaniga
    Clyne
    Yoshida
    Davis
    Ramirez
    Mayuka
    Rodriguez

    That's some good business on the whole.

    Who knows what other players we were in for but didn't manage to sign? Still, all in all I'm very happy with this window. I know the perception is that we're still a bit thin at the back but don't forget we have Yoshida, who will be a great CB in time and might rival Jos in the goal scoring stakes too. Luke Shaw will come good, as will Jack Stephens, so we'll be fine. Another thing is that Danny Fox has never played behind a genuine left winger before, so either Mayuka or Ramirez, whichever one plays on the left, will hopefully offer better cover than Lallana did. And Steven Davis will hold things together in the middle to cover the CB's. It's a great time to be a Saints fan!

    Moutinho? You didn't watch the euros then? He was consistently excellent.

    Admire your optimism, but there's a lot of uncertainty around most of those points for me.

    But for £22+m - I think I watched enough of the Euro's to know he isnt that good for that money. Not saying he is poor - but not that much £££

    He is too lightweight.He isn't that good.

    They sold Modric and VDV, he isn't as good as these players.AVB won't be at Spurs for long.

    That stat is a little worrying when you consider the average age going are players in their prime or close to it.

    Average age of 22 is great for the future but is that enough experience - although if you are good then youre good...

    No more lightweight than Modric, would have been a decent replacement, although yes, quite a hefty fee.

    AVB will be given time I reckon. They wouldn't have hired him and allowed him to sell loads of first teamers if they wanted immediate success.

    Is there a chance we could still have something waiting to be confirmed, a van der Vaart-esque signing? (Not in terms of the player, in terms of the arrival, no one heard about it until the morning after)
