Wouldn't surprise me if we're done in the TW for buying. The CB issue looks temporary, so can't see us getting anyone in on that basis, the makeshift defence we've seen in friendlies may be well given a go but I did hear JV could well make the Palace game.

SoS - All four are Internationals, Capoue only has 5 caps but all recent ones, he'll want more games like the others, its WC year.

Yeah I know mate, but realistically looking at the first XI, does Capoue get there when all fit? Spurs will likely never have a fully fit XI anyway which is why I'm confident that Capoue will get enough games, whether that be at CB or DM/CM.

There is a possiblity all 4 of Sandro, Paulinho, Dembele and Capoue starting in the same XI.

A midfield of:

............ Capoue, Sandro..........
Dembele..........Paulinho............ Bale

Could be a viable option. May not be the most creative midfield you'd see but **** me try getting through that! <laugh>

I just don't understand it. Arsenal fans must be fuming. If the rumours are correct then Wenger has known about the money he has to spend since January, infact I'm pretty sure Kroenke has been speaking about having a lot of money available fr4om around that time. Since now and then it seems to be that Arsene has drawn up a list of about 5 players. He got outbid for Higuain and Jovetic, Rooney was a no go from the start because of his wages and he apparently never even bid for Bernard. The only one left seems to be Suarez and he's apparently either unavailable or too expensive. I'm sorry but if you're trying to sign this one top player that you believe will transform your squad you should expect that you probably will have to pay more than you'd like to.

They've frittered 2 and a half months away already and so lost the advantage of having a new signing with a full preseason with his new squad, whilst everyone around them seems to be strengthening. Well everyone except United and that's probably the only saving grace for Wenger at the moment as it shows they're not the only ones finding it hard in this transfer window. United are the Premier League champions though so it's slightly different, they shouldn't be so concerned about starting the season with the same squad as Arsenal should be.

Yep, they really are YV. I work with 2, my best mate is a gooner and an old school mate who works in my local is also one. Every single one of them have admitted to being really frustrated so far this window especially when looking at how busy we've been, only one of them thinks they'll get Suarez too. I personally don't think Arsenal will get Suarez, I think Liverpool would be foolish to sell him and even more so to sell him to a English side and comments coming from their owner suggest Suarez won't be sold.
Having lost out on Higuan and potentially Suarez, who could Arsenal have as a contingency should they give up on the racist biter?
 
Think Veljkovic is probably still a bit too raw for first team action but definitely one for the future.

Read an aritcle a few weeks back where's he's been likened to Vertonghen, not a bad comparison!

Like you always say Chelsea and never Chavs or Chavski. Would it hurt you Mr Big Fat Hypocrite.

I never refer to CFC as "Chavs" on the Chelsea board. If I did, I'd expect to be hauled over the coals for it.

Is it too much to ask that guests to this board treat us with the same degree of respect?

Hope you're right. :)

Yeah, even I might think twice about trying to batter my way through those 3! <laugh>

Looks like a good scrum that. Get Kaboul at no. 8 and Vertonghen and Chadli in as flankers.

Great idea that, Spurs rugby team:

Prop - Brad
Hooker - Sandro
Prop - Gomes
SR - Kaboul
SR - Dawson
Flanker - Parker
Flanker - Vertonghen
8 - Thudd
SH - Carroll
FH - Bale
IC - Dembele
OC - Paulinho
LW - Townsend
RW - Lennon
FB - Walker

Something tells me Parker would make a great scrum half. Lennon's frantic running style reminds me of Robinson so maybe best to have him at full back, or Bale because of his kicking. We'd have to score a lot of tries though as we never get any penalties :(

Had Parker at flanker for his tenacity. Carroll at SH because he's a midget, considered Gylfi or Holtby though.

Lennon at full-back would be dangerous. Can you imagine him trying to make a last ditch tackle? He'd just be bounced.
 
Bale would be fullback. Joining the line at speed, he'd be unstoppable. Lennon, unsurprisingly, on the wing
