Our midfield would have a lot of time on its hands age wise too:

Dembele - 26
Capoue - 25
Paulinho - 25
Lennon - (still only!) 26
Townsend - 22
Siggy - 23
Holtby - 22
NEW WINGER (unamed) - 21
NEW PLAYMAKER - 21
Tommy Carroll - 21
Sandro - 24
 
it was about £8m or £9m, yes.



If he's coming in mate, 1 or 2 are going. We wouldn't be going for him otherwise. Eriksen will not be a bench warmer with us. he's CL standard. If anyone is going to end up dropping to the bench, it'll be Dembele on a more frequent basis.

Sig back to swansea on loan on deadline day. you heard it here first. ;)

I'm not sure Swansea need him now. With Bony coming in Michu drops off a bit and plays the "Siggy" role
 
presuming Erik, Erik, and Vlad come in, who else will we get?

Another striker and a LB are still a concern.

will we really see 5 new players come in before monday.

I think that will be it if we get those 3. I can't see 5 happening, on top of the 4 we already bought, not unless the other 2 are either part of a double deal or a px for Bale.
With Vlad in we have Verts/Naughton who can cover left back with Rose as 1st choice (willing to see how it goes with him).
I think we'll go with Defoe/Bobby/Kane as the strikers, and Coulthirst might get some sub/starts in cups.
 
Hearing that Roma have confirmed Lamela to Spurs on their website.

I really hope this is true.

The A. S. Rome S.p.A. announces that it has signed an agreement with the Tottenham Hotspur FAC for outright sale of the rights to the player Erik Lamela, Compared to receive a sum equal to 30 million euro. The agreement also provides for the recognition of a variable, from or to a maximum of 5 million euro for bonuses tied to attainment by part of the soccer player and the English Club


wooooohooooooo!!!!
 
Quote from Chiriches

Chiriches: "I felt like crying when Steaua rejected the first offer from THFC. For two days I couldn't think of anything else." (@rbaicu)

Sounds like he has bought in!

That's why we shouldn't freak out about Bale getting his head turned. Which ever way it went it was win-win for Spurs. We should just wish him luck and feel lucky that he wore our glorious shirt.
 
Good news re Vlad and Lamela, I think a back up keeper is now our most pressing need.

it really isn't. Goalkeepers don't rotate as frequently as outfield players. Whilst it'd be nice to see it addressed, it can wait until at least January. brad is good enough backup for now.

If Ade goes, a striker is more of a need. 2 strikers wasn't enough last season and it won't be this season. Not with Harry kane as a completely unproven entity with very little sign of making any impact for us.
 
Ye ha!!! Erik the Apple has arrived, We now have an Apple and a Soldier, an army marches on it's stomach so they say. I'm told by an Italian girl in the office that Lamela means 'the apple'
 
I'm not sure Swansea need him now. With Bony coming in Michu drops off a bit and plays the "Siggy" role

I'd take him back in a heartbeat. Was gutted that Brenda derailed our attempts to get him (was nearly a done deal) after he went to Liverpool, so was delighted he went to you guys instead <ok>
 
From Fox Sport Centraal broadcast in a section with De Telegraaf: Daniel Levi was in Amsterdam today to hold talks over Eriksen with Technical Director Marc Overmars. The deal looks done according to Jaap de Groot, Editor in Chief of Telesport, he says that Tottenham have upped their bid to above 10 million euro's, somewhere between 11 and 14 million. A medical could be done on Friday but the deal looks structured on the sale of Bale.
 
To whet your appetite

Er - yes in Italian, but he is from Argentina, so not sure why an Italian translation of his name is relevant.....
 
I&#8217;m ready for Tottenham, I want do great things for Spurs. And thank you, Roma. - Erik Lamela
 
I've heard a lot about Erik Lamela, he's been compared to Cristiano Ronaldo, a bit too early for that but he's a skilful player that will light up the premier league.
