But will he panic on a wet tuesday evening, away to stoke when Huth and Shawcross both try and take him out?

well, i'm sure he'sused to bad weather, as he currently plays in the Ukraine.

as for Huth and shawcross, that could apply to anyone who's "small" in the prem. like dembele, he'll run at people. therefore he'll go down with the slighest of nudges.
 
Every single player is a risk. Even buying from within the prem is risky. Carroll looked a great prospect at Newcastle and look what happened to him.
Clearly the powers that be at spurs think this chap is worth the money and he must be a player AVB thinks will fit the system

Sorry Roo, but its a common fact that the rain in Stoke is more powerful and potent then the rain in Ukraine, I thought you would know this?

sorry Boss, you've got your facts wrong mate. The ukraine was named after its terrible rain -----> Ukraine. see?
 
Shakhtar's chief executive is claiming, via the club's OS, that Levy's over there (which we all knew), but that he's also interested in Douglas Costa and Fernandinho, but "casually".
Plans C and D, perhaps?

Not too happy with all this VdV (and Lennon) talk if I'm being honest.

If AVB isn't careful he runs the risk of altering the team too much, which could impact results.

1 other midfielder to provide competition on the right fine, but selling VdV and others to fund Moutinho (who, according to twitter, we've made a bid for) is hugely risky.

It's nice to see us adding quality - but the risk stacks with each one.

Errr is it just me or could an impact on our results be a good thing????
 
I'm very happy about Dembele. A couple of stats were that he was second in tackles in the prem (to Cabaye) and third in completed dribbles. I'm not at all sold on Willian, and don't want to lose either VDV or Lennon. With VDV it's obvious: in a couple of important ways, he's our best player (the ability to retain the ball and create goalscoring chances under pressure). I'd be satisfied if we lose him and gain Moutinho, but I don't know if even that would really make me happy.

As for Lennon, I agree he's not a big creator of goals. But I think he's perfect to have at Spurs because he and Bale provide more of a speed threat at the touchlines than any other team has. This has opened up chances inside. I wouldn't sell him because I actually think he's worth more to Spurs than he would be to other teams.

Of course, the obvious downside to all this is the crucial points Tottenham could lose w/o key players and/or learning to play with new ones...but better now than later.
 
we all seem to love Lennon but me for one would be highly critical of his development if he played for someone else.....take his pace away and he becomes another Stuart Downing.....so when i look at it like that then we do need someone like Willian who seems to be influential in his own way for a team..even though he does share some traits with Lennon...i think he has more ability to grasp a game by its throat so to speak..but as is usally the case with these flashy types..it's when the mood takes them there.
I don't love Lennon, he wouldn't even be in my first XI for Spurs.
