    Transfer Rumour Discussion Thread

    The Guardian's suggestion of Leandro + Soldado + Bale new contract would make me a happy bunny, if it's just the start. ;) Add Ante Rebic (one for the future, wing forward, etc), sell off Defoe/Ade/both and we could be sorted on the forwards front. I guess Villa talk is cooling off after not...

    New DoF?

    The suggestion's that he has gotten less and less involved in their set-up since 2008 - Sevilla's had a lot of managerial instability of late and are in financial trouble, while their signings have shifted from Brazil to Africa (not sure why, perhaps Africans are cheaper and easier to get than...

    What does AVB and the board need to do to make us better callengers next season?

    - Settle in the DOF, start revamping our scouting infrastructure if needed (I assume the DOF would have a few scouts he particularly likes). - Clear our the wage bill. Identify and start offloading, with discretion, anyone who doesn't fit our preferred style of play or doesn't display a hunger...

    We blew it!

    It has very little to do with hubris or mentality or experience, and everything to do with actual quality. Arsenal are more creative than us. They have better one-touch passing and movement than us, they are faster and more fluid in attack, they sign more 'team' players rather than...

    The reason we will play Europa League football next season....

    I think we should better integrate squad players and youth into our Europa and other cup games. Continental style football suits them and it's a great opportunity for them to impress the manager and stake a claim for our starting XI; you'd think they'd play much more hungrily than our lethargic...

    Proud to say im Tottenham Hotspur

    Tbh, there are plenty of players who settle in immediately, because of their superior technical ability - if anything, I'd say most high-caliber players are of the Michu/Mata/Cazorla/Silva/Vertonghen instant-impact kind, and the ones that take a while to cope with the pace/physicality of this...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: AVB - Making Tottenham His Own I don't think anyone's letting us down, we're trying hard within our means and it's just unfortunate that our means are so damn limited compared to our rivals. I guess you could say Joe Lewis should back us with a few quid but then again, we can't exactly...

    New DoF?

    Graham Hunter's suggested we're looking at Monchi from Sevilla! Not sure how likely this is since the whole iffy Ramos thing, but it's widely rumored that Monchi is leaving this summer. I think he'd be quite a shrewd appointment, and a good fit - he revolutionized Sevilla's academy and...

    New DoF?

    Re: Technical Director to come in...possibly Franco Baldini? I support a defacto DOF structure - it offers more stability to the "modern day" club that can't be sure if it's lucked upon an SAF/Wenger/Moyes in this highly pressurized, results-driven business. Look at Sunderland and Villa...

    **Official Other Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

    Courtois btw is another one Chelsea stole off of us at the last second, like with Oscar. I am very happy with Hugo though! Oh and Mourinho :lol:

    Alan Pardew

    Person who took it said it was back in December. Well, at least we know they're friends! Or something like it. 8-[ Tiote's been absolute rubbish this season, but one thing that could play into our hands is if Arsenal grow increasingly desperate throughout the game and start piling forward...

    Alan Pardew

    Hm, does Andre's wife know about this?? :lol: (But seriously. GHod I hope that is AVB giving Pardew the tactical plan for Sunday because the idiot will need it!)

    Liam Payne's bust up with four Tottenham Hotspur players in nightclub

    Why is it only ever our English contingent who get caught outside drinking and clubbing? Barring the very professional ones like Daws, Parker etc. Even though it's probably not a big deal, this is the sort of thing you hear Sunderland or insert-perennially-underachieving-club lads get up to...

    Andros Townsend

    I've seen some of Rose this season. He's eager and he actually tries to do things like tackle and get forward to cross so Sunderland fans are mesmerized, but I have issues with his positional sense and passing ability (Sunderland are afforded more space so Rose's mistakes aren't punished as...

    Gareth Bale

    Re: Gareth Bale I think that's true of nearly all our front players though - they're finishers of moves, not creators. Lennon, Dempsey, Defoe, even Siggy to some extent - they pop up with a key lethal moment now and then and that's dazzling and productive and all BUT they so rarely get more...

    Gareth Bale

    Re: Gareth Bale Bale's created plenty of good chances through crosses (and he's the highest Key Passer in this squad), but nobody gets in the box so they all go to waste. :( What he can't do naturally is function as a playmaker like Mata, Cazorla etc so you don't get those throughballs...

    Alan Pardew

    Tiote's been horrific this season, but Anita's been pretty shaky against more physical sides. All in all Saudi Sportswashing Machine are just bad though. I'll be amazed if they don't get pumped 7-0, if only to get Pardew out as quickly as possibly. I suggest avoiding watching their game :lol:

    Gareth Bale

    Re: Gareth Bale Tbh, I don't think the rest of the team has helped Bale at all this season, despite his clear improvement esp in getting involved and on the ball. I think if we had better movement and vision Bale would be scoring a lot more "easy" goals, the sort even the best strikers feed on...

    Alan Pardew

    They replaced a star goalscorer with a star creative player in Cazorla and decent strikers in Giroud and Podolski. Imo, they've done well - losing that bit of superstar finishing but upgrading their creativity while retaining the possession players that are essentially their defense. It's not...

    The Stats Thread

    I'd argue that Europa (in particular the extratime in that demoralizing Inter game) played a major factor in that sluggish performance against Fulham. Arsenal have a pretty big advantage in the run-in because they're always out of the cups by March, leaving them with a clear run to the finish...
