    First off all Hello.

    My name is Nundy, I'm a representing the Tottenham Forum and Plymouth Argyle Forum.

    First off all it seems like we made a good deal today. Happy to see Vorm at the club as a back up keeper, but don't know too much about Ben Davies, so just wanted to ask, whats he like?

    Secondly, I am happy you got Siggy, Im personally gutted that he has left us, I love him and thought he didn't get the chances he deserved, and I'm happy that he's has arrived at the Liberty where he will be loved instantly.

    Thirdly, as I've been based in Plymouth for past 3 years, due to cost i have shared some of my heart to Plymouth Argyle, and been going home park as its a 10 minute drive and £11 ticket instead of a £70 coach trip to white hart lane £40 hotel and £48 ticket, which i did last season, to watch us get stuffed 5-1 to man city.

    So on Sunday i will be at Home Park, really looking forward to returning to HP, and wondered who will be there? Will many fans be coming? Worth a day out in Plymouth, and worth a pre-drink, our fans are really welcoming to away fans, completely different too premier league games (apart from when exeter is in town) !!!

    As a Spurs fan, I do look forward to seeing Siggs play, but especially Bony if he will be there. Any idea what squad i can expect so i can report back too my Plymouth Forum.!!

    Hope you boys have a better season than last year, prefer Swansea soooo much more than those cnuts in Cardiff !!!

    Davies ... first choice for two seasons (71 games), 21, first choice international left back, European experience, attacking left wing, good communicator, good leader, chips in with an occasional goal.
    Worth significantly more than Gylfi.
    With the Name 'Ben' Davies it seems he was destined for Spurs.

    I feel they are an equal trade andI ll leave it at that friendly .We have another left back named Taylor whom Davies slotted in for When Taylor was seriously injured and took over long term even after Taylor recovered . Less than 2 years ago , Davies was making 400 £ a week at Swansea , after Laudrup gave him a chance and brought Davies along , you just payed10 million for him . Look on the bright side though , we gave you 10 million for Siggy.

    I like the Plymouth ground, easy to get to, and parking is good. With regard to the Siggy and Davies deal, I think that we have got the better part of the deal, as Siggy is the finished article and definitely a more pivotal player in any game, while Ben Davies has done very well in covering for our injured Neil Taylor, Ben is not the finished article and is still raw, but going forward he is good, but defensively he has a great deal still to work on, I think this move for him was too soon, and he is still very young, but I hope he will do you proud!.................<ok>

    I think both clubs have got what they wanted. Personally I am pleased for Ben deserves his chance and think he will develop really well at Spurs. He is a great young left back and a huge improvement on Danny Rose so you will be happy him. Chuffed to bits we have Siggy back as for valuations and costs of players I dont think there is too much of an issue with those 2 as they are at different points in their careers. The only disappointment I have is (if they are to be believed) the cost for Vorm £2.5 mill for a keeper of his standing is one hell of a deal for you!! But hey ho it is what it is. As fo rthe squad to play on Sunday I would expect both Siggy and Bony to get a run out with pretty much a similar set up as to the last game against Minnesota.

    Lukasz Fabianski, Angel Rangel, Chico Flores, Kyle Bartley/Ash, Neil Taylor, Leon Britton, Jonjo Shelvey, Marvin Emnes/Siggy, Dyer, Routledge, Bony/Gomis.


    With a sprinkling of fringe players either half.
