    Willian

    Sounds plausible, although I think other clubs might snap him up in the summer. I Really hope Shakhtar will lower their asking price this january.

    The Academy, NextGen, U18 & U21 Premier League and On-Loan Thread

    From march 21 2012: "The Club can also confirm that it has exercised its option to extend Jermaine Jenas’ contract by a further year until 2014." I believe Levy thought he could squeeze out a few more pennies by extending his contract, unfortunately his transfer (to Sunderland?) fell through in...

    Official - Holtby

    Re: Lewis Holtby Would be a typical Levy deal considering he can join on a free in the summer or on reduced fee this january. Can supposedly play the Dembele role or in the hole, although I've only seen him play the latter position. I'm a little torn on this one. I prefer him to Eriksen...

    ratings vs Reading

    I think someone posted his tweet in the official match thread. Yeah, hopefully he'll recover and get some game time against Coventry. Looked promising when he was introduced against Swansea and has received much praise for his U21 performances.

    Townsends is sick as far as I know. Can't really see what other options AVB had.

    ratings vs Reading

    Lloris 7 - Not much to do Walker 7,5 - Still a few mistakes, but made lots of good forward runs. Vertonghen 7 - Good game, but wasn't really challenged. Dawson 7 - Same as for Vertonghen. Naughton - 6,5 - Decent, but it limits our build up play that we play a right footed player at left back...

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v Reading OMT***

    The only game I remember him playing on the right was Lazio away and as I recall it he was totally invisible. As a right footer with no pace it makes sense to use him on the left with freedom to drift inside.

    Joao Moutinho

    Probably for the best i'm not in charge of Spurs, no way in hell I would be able to resist the temptation of throwing 60M after those three players ;) That's a genuine title challenging side right there.

    Official - Holtby

    Re: Lewis Holtby Works fine for Dembele. Absolute steal if we can get him on a free this summer. Would be an upgrade on Siggy IMO.

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v Reading OMT***

    It was five years ago with two completely different teams, so we can't really use these statistics. IMO Reading is by far the worst team in the league and I expect a comfortable victory. AVB may be tempted to rest a few players, but we have been starting to find the right formation and style, we...

    The Other Clubs Transfer Rumours and News Thread

    Do we still have that sell-on fee clause that was agreed when he signed for QPR?

    Which position do we need to strengthen?

    The match against Villa proved once again that we desperately need a creative player that can operate within little space. 1st half were excellent in terms of ball retention and pressing, but as Villa sat back we only created one big chance for Defoe. However in 2nd half Villa came out with a...

    The All New Transfer Rumour Discussion Thread

    That would be amazing although I still have my doubts if it will happen. I've always thought he would be the perfect replacement for Scholes at Man United and at 12M€ he would be an absolut steal. It would be a typical Levy signing though instead of signing Moutinho, which I've never really...

    Why can't we break teams down?

    The problem is most of the attempts are long shots. Look at this table: http://thefootballfront.blogspot.dk/2012/12/clear-cut-chances-and-premier-league.html We simply create way too few clear cut chances, which is due to lack of creativity IMO.

    Wot no ratings thread (vs Stoke)

    Why is my post contradictive? I would've given him 7 or more had he made the change earlier.

    Why can't we break teams down?

    Re: We can't we break teams down? The poor movement from crosses is painful to wach. Adebayor's header in the first half was a great run and a perfect cross from Vertonghen (or Bale?). However Defoe didn't anticipate what was happening, so he wasn't anywhere near had Ade decided to head it...

    Wot no ratings thread (vs Stoke)

    Lloris 6 - Made a good save in the first half, but other than that poor distribution Walker 5,5 - Thought he was finding his form, but made too many bad decisions. Dawson 6,5 - Defensively solid, but looked very shakey when in posession Caulker 6,5 - Same as Dawson Vertonghen 8,5 - MOM...

    Why can't we break teams down?

    Re: We can't we break teams down? Totally agree with you and IMO it started at the back with Walker, Dawson, Caulker and Lloris who did a poor job of playing the ball to the midfield. I can understand AVB chose to play Vertonghen at left back due to the aerial threat from Stoke, but we sorely...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    I don't know how he could've done any better with the subs at his disposal. Sigurdsson played well when he came on, but Lennon started to get going in the second half and he has much more penetration that Sigurdsson, so I can fully understand AVB's wanted to wait with the substitutions. I...
