Summer 2013 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

We're now weaker at LB than last season in my opinion.

It just wouldn't be Spurs if we didn't leave 1 position with a gaping hole each season :bae:

I guess AVB is okay to make do with Verts and Naughton on the left, if Rose is out.

How about Fryers. I would rather see Fryers on the left than Naughton.

 

[Drewinho]

can I just say how happy I am Niko is back in England

 

[Norwegian Jim]

Adebayor not leaving is gutting.

Well, the Russian window is still open, right? Anyway, I'm happy for him to stay because we need different options in attack. Soldado/Defoe too similar.

 

[Drewinho]

AVB likes his "total football."

We have Rose as a LB who can play LM if necessary. Chiriches, Vertonghen and Fryers who can play CB/LB as well.

BAE didn't fit that style imo

So we can play either a winger, a central defender or a right back

to be fair you are right, he is something different to what we've got and on his day he's decent. I just have an irrational hatred for the bloke.

He doesn't make it easy to like him, does he?

THIS POST IS FROM THE FIRST FUCKING PAGE.

Vertongon a better lb that ekotto anyway.

 

[TheLutonYid]

When do we give our finalised squad with numbers to the FA?

Seriously people, stop thinking Fryers is ready for first team football...

For that matter, stop thinking Chiriches is ready until we've blooded him in some of the games of our pathetic EL group.

It appears that AVB thinks he is. He let BAE go in the final hours of the deadline and didn't bring in another LB. If BAE had gone weeks ago, i would say there is a chance AVB thought he could get a LB and wasn't able to. Choosing to let BAE go in the final hours, says to me that Fryers is ready to be second choice.

Call me crazy for being skeptical...

I'm not saying that Fryers is the clear answer, but we did go through an awful lot to get him. He has been a favorite by AVB in terms of youth defenders. He has clear promise and potential.

 

[Mad Yid]

To say there's a gaping hole at LB is fucking ridiculous when we've got Rose who has looked very good so far and aint injury prone at all, plus 3 other players capable of covering that position if we're in a bind.

 

[SadlerTHFC]

This 'special relationship' with Real Madrid is bollocks.

 

[Hegarz]

No way they would loan him to us if the reason they wouldn't sell us Mata is because we are tittle contenders.

We're rivals not title contenders, lets not get ahead of ourselves please..

 

[Mad Yid]

I still think we are title contenders tbh, our squad is fucking minted.

He may well not be ready to be a regular but we have a large pool of capable LBs, and rotation is key to AVB's game. Fryers is capable enough to play in the odd game imo
