    Official - Holtby

    Throughball king :) At the end of the season I'll have to make a compilation of them! http://imgur.com/EqIO3li

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Re: Official - Lamela I think it's more of a style and physicality issue. Paulinho has really insane energy levels which is perfect for our system and came here off of a very successful Confed Cup on a high, while Eriksen was also on a roll with Ajax and has played a bazillion different games...

    Touch

    I think Berbatov was the last player here who had a truly consistently world-class touch. VdV wasn't too bad either. :) I think we need to speed up our play to really distinguish who has sublime touches here, because we still generally play at a pretty slow, methodical tempo and you can't...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Re: Official - Lamela I remember Roma fans saying he looked completely lost in pre-season, a totally different player because his head wasn't right - he really, really needs time to settle into England. Just look at Holtby - he's taken pretty much exactly the 7-8 months Wenger says foreign...

    Vlad Chiriches

    Re: Official - Chiriches The thing is, with the high line opposition teams are always tempted to go long ball if they have a striker like Torres who is on their game and can feed it to the flanks or an on-rushing AM for the quick counter. So I think being able to at least challenge the...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Re: Erik Lamela - Official I think Lamela will end up fitting our long-term vision more than Pastore will in the PL. I don't think he's less proven than Pastore either - at 20yo last season Lamela outscored and matched in assists 21yo Pastore's last season at Palermo prior to his PSG transfer...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Re: Erik Lamela - Official I'll actually be amazed if he shows even half of what he can do this season. I think next season will be his year, he's just going to take a while to adapt.

    Victimpool FC - Klopp leaving, grown men crying

    I think they create better chances simply because of their sit-back-and-counter style atm, so I'm not confident that Soldado will magically start scoring until we actually help him get a clear sight of goal. Right now Arsenal, Liverpool, and to some extent City are showing the worth of playing...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: AVB - Making Tottenham His Own I'm willing to bet we'd try for Laudrup. I think Pochettino would be very interesting actually, given that he too favors a high-pressing style.

    January transfer window wishlist

    I think Shaw will be far too expensive, so I'd rather take Ben Davies to compete with Rose. Then a CB who is pacy and strong in the air if Kaboul can't get fit. Then I'd love us to wrap up Halilovic and a few more 'potential'-type creative signings to boost our attack. I really like the look of...

    The "Official" 2013/14 Other teams matches thread

    If you lose 100m worth of talent and you gain 100m worth of talent, that's technically standing still if money were all that mattered. The only reason we look like we've improved is because we've actually spent our allowance cleverly and strategically, in which case we deserve far more credit...

    Torres

    I thought Torres should have been sent off much earlier for the face gouge, and Mourinho is trying to distract the media from that. That lunge was just disgusting, if it were Suarez he would've been banned for next ten games.

    Emmanuel Adebayor - Officially gone \o/

    Re: Adebayor He's a meh finisher, but I think his natural involvement in hold-up and link-up play would be invaluable for relieving pressure off us and for helping Eriksen, Lamela, and what appears to be our new goalscorer in Siggy shine. He needs to get his house in order first though - my...

    The "Official" 2013/14 Other teams matches thread

    They're on a good run of results, but in truth I don't see counterattacking teams that allow too many shot on goal succeeding in the long term. To me it's the midfield-dominating sides like City and Chelsea that are showing the sort of signs of becoming very, very strong in the second half of...

    Victimpool FC - Klopp leaving, grown men crying

    I expect them to compete very strongly to finish top four and I wouldn't be surprised if they make it, but right now their performances remind me of our brilliant winning streak under Harry when all of VdV, Parker, Modric, Bale, Ade etc were on fire in the first half of the season. The problem...
