I'm not sure that's what it is to be honest, my impression was more that AVB has little patience for players who don't work hard in training and who don't take the tactical side of the game seriously. Benny's demeanor and skill was far more suited to Harry's style of setting up the team, I think for Benny the dream manager is one who says 'just go out there and play your game', which I know is a simplified idea of what Harry did as manager but still it was far less disciplined that what AVB has started.
And that's not a swipe at Benny or anything, I love the guy but I don't think that he and AVB really go well together. Walker though, for all the criticism he gets, is clearly making an effort to learn the game and learn his role in the team. He was awful at the start of last season but improved throughout, and I think soon enough he will be a huge player for us. I kind of get pissed off when people call Walker an idiot and stuff and say he's brainless, if you hear him talk he actually sounds quite bright, and by accounts is one of the most well-liked players in the dressing room. Tactically, an attacking fullback is one of the toughest positions to play in, I think we should give him time to get comfortable in the role.

Right - definitely need to sleep now.
When I wake up, please give me a couple of shiny new players and some ITK on any of the following subjects:
1) Bale extends contract (with Spurs, letting agent, mobile phone provider, babysitter, don't mind which)
2) striker coming to Spurs (Falcao if this window is anything to go by - but I'd take Damiao now he needs games to get into theSpurs Brazil squad for the WC)
3) LB or CB coming (especially if the CB is young, French and currently at PSG...)
Fly my pretties!

OK A&C. These quotes of yours ... this one to do with Tuscany. Rome ain't in Tuscany, sunshine! But you know that ...
So not Lamela related?

Yeah, I see it as more an attitude issue. Seeing as Benny is the most chillaxed man in the world, I can see how it may irritate someone that's asking discipline of others.

I can see it now on deadline day. Baldini sat in a room with Lamela and his agent ready to finalise the transfer. Bale and his agent in Madrid ready to sign, and Daniel Levy holding him back until we get confirmation of Lamela signing. Lamela signs minutes before the window closes, Bale signs for Madrid but it's too late the window is closed.

My point exactly - Benny wanted to do things his way and that included not tracking back and doing the dirty work. Don't wanna listen to AVB; don't play.

Levy then emailing a picture of his middle finger to Perez with the caption "You just got Levy'd"

Surely Southampton, even if they sold the sell on fee re Bale they still seem to be due for "training costs":

From a movie called "Under the Tuscan sun" - under tuscany = south of tuscany. The region south of Tuscany is Lazio, Rome is the capital city of Lazio.

Just had a thought about the goats latest offering.
South coast club, we brought Kaboul from Pompey in 2010, will he hit a certain criteria where we have to give them some more dosh? I.e appearances?
The goat also said name haven't been given but 2+2 equals 4 which happens to be Kabouls squad number.
Nah? Well worth a go. I just don't want it to be bale :-(

Your not wrong. I was rubbing my hands together when it had all gone quiet a couple of days ago.
Now I'm not so sure. Was even contemplating putting some of my 'winnings' on him going.
What an absolute fucked up window this has been

No. We bought back Defoe and Kaboul because they were broke and might default on payment. Same reason we brought Robbie Keane back from Hicks and Gilette

Its gonna be sooo weird watching a competitive spurs 'team'.... thats an actual team, 11 players of a certain level of competence ...... Been a fan for 24 years now and by and large its been one or two good uns and a supporting cast of 'triers' for every ginola, klinsmann, sheringham, hoddle, king, waddle, berbatov, ardiles, villa, Gascoigne, modric, van der vaart and bale there was a sinton, armstrong, sedgeley, neilsen, freund, crouch, samways ..... Our current, projected squad will feature people like holtby, defoe, dawson and Sigurdsson as 'back ups'....FFS that is quality support staff, would everton and Liverpool play those 4, you bet yer arse they would!! There's only Chelsea and Citeh that will have a better squad....
I'm usually a bit MEH! about it all, I don't get over excited, its just football, if cantcontrol and Charlie adams had signed I would be behind em anyway, cos they are playing for THFC ......... But fuck me sideways am genuinely getting a bit sauced up in readiness now! And in my mind boyo has already gone..... if he were to stay??? well!!!
Needed to put it on the screen!!
