looks legit, but i have my doubt on Eriksen being here next season for some reason. And if Coco doesent improve his game in the BPL i think he could be adios next season too, but this is just me spectulating.
I don't think Poch will want to see the back of Lamela tbh... I think he is sticking it out with him because he can see his potential and he is an Argentine. (I think that plays a big part)
I think Lamela can adapt to Pochs high pressing system also. He has loads of natural energy and a hunger to win the ball back.
I think he just needs to bulk out a bit and he will improve substantially
Spurs defensive errors last season:
Dawson- 4
Sandro- 3
Vertonghen-3
Kaboul- 3
Naughton- 3
Rose- 3
Paulinho- 2
Chiriches- 2
Walker- 1
He had a rough year two seasons ago, but last season he was our best defender and it wasn't even close.
Lamela is class just needs that physical overlay!
Pretty sure I saw more defensive errors than that from Rose in about 45m last season. That stat (mistakes directly leading to a goal?) is no guarantee of quality. However, I agree - Walker was one of our better defenders last year.
I admire the optimism from you here but there was a catalogue of mistakes last season so putting our plays at 4/3/2/1 is a bit understated.
It's there though, already. Have you seen how he uses his elbows when winning the ball? Coco's got a nasty streak.
I can see him getting a red more than scoring a PL goal and I'm one of the so called Lamela 'fanboys'. Look at the pessimist this club is now responsible for!
So obviously I don't want Lloris to leave BUT what about a straight swap with Real Madrid for Benzema? rumor has it he's unhappy and it'd prevent him from joining Liverpool or Woolwich. We sell Adenayor and use that money to buy a young back up to Vorm
Couldn't see him wanting to come here, especially with his national team captain heading the other way.
I don't know how good a youth goalkeeper you can get for £2.50
Terrible might have been an overstatement. I will admit that walker doesn't make the defensiver errors akin to rose or naughton but he has nothing upstairs. He's go go go and makes poor decisions. Without his speed he would be terrible. Not saying that the answer is yedlin but we can't bank on a guy who hasn't played in a year. These aren't the biggest issue facing spurs anyway......cb and holding mid and a striker, without those we will be stuck in 6-7. There is to much complacency especially against bottom half sides. We need a smart team not a team with potential.
Our best hope for CL is winning Europa. Shaquri is an option if levy will pony up the $, Schneiderlin won't move until summer and with modic hurt Khedira isn't going anywhere. Hopefully Mitchell has someone in mind. I would love to see a loan deal for al haddadi, they did it with delafleou so it's not out of the question. Berahino is also a good option but we need to trim the fat first. It's not going to happen overnight.

I personally don't see Berahino as any better than Kane right now - Kane just needs more PL game time
Completely different players to be honest. Berahino is far quicker and more direct, but Kane is actually really good on the ball in terms of passing and touch. Both seem to have a good mind set.
Agree about experience though, Berahinho has had 2 seasons in the PL to mature and advance, Kane has hardly got a sniff.
Hopefully we'll see him start this weekend against Hull - strike while the iron is hot; he's in great form.
They would be great together, their both in great form and they would play off each other's strength. Plus Berahino is proven in the PL unlike the other alternatives, and soldado
Trouble is, we don't play two up front as such.
Soldado doesn't score, but he offers an awful lot to the team and Kane when he plays with him, to be fair.
I'd argue that Soldado is actually one of our best crossers
