    Pogba in a swap deal for Bale possibly? ... and only because Bale is an injury risk ...

    ... really can't see a straight swap for Kroos ... Pogba and £10 - £15 million maybe?

    Veron, I remember him joining us, He was world-class, He performed well in the champions league for us though.

    I'd still take that, Kroos is a £170m player all day long if Coutinho is worth £140m.

    David Bentley - Seen as Beck's heir and looked a class act before joining us, utter tripe barring his 40 yarder against Arsenal.

    Roberto Soldado - Predator out in Spain, class scoring record, was doing well for Spanish national side... Couldn't hit a ****ing barndoor with us.

    Paulinho - Came with huge hype, just won the Brazilian league and Copa Libertadores, voted 3rd best player in the Confed Cup, started really well for us but once AVB got to grips with him he turned to ****, AVB ****ed up so many players it was a joke. If Poch had signed Paulinho, I reckon he'd be a permanent fixture in our XI right now.

    We did warn you all that AVB was knob jockey :)
    He ****ed up our team too, Di Matteo swooped in and saved the day with a CL win

    Yeah I'd second that, Kroos is quality.

    FWIW Pogba's still a good player but Jose's a terrible manager for him... Not that we'd be able to afford him but I reckon Pogba would be immense for us.

    I felt sorry for Soldado.

    It just doesn't work out for some players.

    Wanted to give him benefit of the doubt due to his impressive time at Porto but he just couldn't hack English football. It took a solid two years for Poch to dismantle and rebuild the **** he left behind.

    He's still respected by Spurs fans because despite being **** he always gave 100% and we can fully respect that.

    In a weird way though his signing turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because if he was even half as good as what we needed him to be, Kane might likely would not have been given the chances he had.

    Hasn't Kane since claimed the few goals that Soldado managed to score anyway? <whistle>

    i actually think modric is the better pair between kroos and him.

    saying that though modric is 4 years older.

    The player I was most gutted about leaving us. Best player I've seen put on a Spurs shirt, made football look too easy.

    Didn't you say Matic would flop at United and Bakayoko was an upgrade?

    i said bakayoko would be an upgrade.

    I said Matic would do okay but isn't world class. He's a solid player, designed to stop the opposition but wouldn't bring creativity as thats what we struggled with.

    Probably should have watched bakayoko play first rather than listen to people calling him a beast <laugh>
