Good point. Serious lack of talent. John Stones at Everton looking like a prospect but can't see us getting him. I don't know enough about European / South American leagues - but I suppose that's why we pay Mitchell, Baldini and co.

Fazio still looks like he has a game-losing mistake in him. Long way to go before he's a top 4 starter.
Totally agree, I love John Stones as a player. But equally agree that if he were to leave he would probably have much larger interest than just us.
Disagree. He was the captain of the EL winners. The partnership with Vertonghen was great, and they had incredible stats regarding clean sheets.
He's had what, a dozen starts for us and already 2 red cards? Poch can't trust him yet but fact that he bought him speaks volumes - both Argentinian and Poch played as a CB.
Fazio has start keeping clean sheets in the big games.... And there's a few of those coming up so we'll soon see. Who Poch picks on Sunday will tell us everything.
23 games I think, but yeah, you're right actually. Amazing.
Rumours of us getting Camacho from Malaga make me hard!
Very good player, would fit the role of ball-winning CM destroyer that some people go on about very nicely. He is a great passer, great in the air, reads the game very well and is one of if not The best player at their club. Reminds me of a weird cross between Xabi Alonso and Thiago Motta
We need electric pace, energy and goals!!!
Buy Depay and get both Ings and Konoplyanka on a free transfer. That'd be lovely.

Kane's left
love your name lol
I heard reports of Levy saying £5mil and them wanting £10mil for him and as far as I'm aware that seems a good price for the quality of the player
Camacho is a Stambouli type of player, but more agressive, i wouldn't rate him for us just yet. First we have other positions to upgrade, another couple of good wingers (Depay, Kono, Gaitan would be good) and another striker to compete with Kane.
Is Camacho our less-known cheaper Schneiderlin of the next summer?
Nah, is not so good with the ball.
I already stated that we need a new CM. Looking at the potential candidates for this position (assuming that we don't play CL next season) I have to say there are nearly no players who could be a really good, realistic signing. Nevertheless, my favourites (along with my concerns...):
Joao Moutinho: Perfect type of player, is like a dynamo in midfield but has the ability to play great passes into dangerous areas aswell. Defensively very stable player. Main concerns: Price, Wage, Willingness to join Spurs (Nevertheless my favourite, I'm still mourning about that day two and a half years ago when we just narrowly missed out to sign him
...)
James McCarthy: IMO Moutinho light, but better defensively, worse in terms of creativity, but has experience in the PL. Main concerns: Price, Evertons Willingness to let him go
James Ward-Prowse: Could fill the place of a deep-lying playmaker that we quite lack (despite maybe Bentaleb). Holds position much more than Mason defenively. Main concerns: Soton maybe playing CL, defensive ability (quite light body if I see him playing...)
Yohan Cabaye: Very creative, knows the PL well, well rounded player. Main concerns: Willingness to join us, overall workrate (isn't as hard-working as Mason...)
James Milner: Could join us for free, very hard working player who can be used very versatile (on the left wing e.g.), experienced, quite creative aswell. Main concerns: Willingness to join us, wage, defensive ability (although that's not such a big concern...).
What do you say? Who are your candidates for CM position or do you think we don't need anyone new there?
