Spurs on tour in the USA...

[eddiebailey]

Nope; There is a world of difference between 31 goals a season under AVB & 16 goals under Harry. Look at his goal against Arsenal, where he went for the through ball down the middle - thats not something he did with Harry. With Harry, he was primarily a winger who could score. With AVB he improved his game, playing through middle - when & when not to make runs etc....

Towards the end Harry was already experimenting with him in an inside role, which was the position he had been playing for Wales. It was a natural development because he was being marked out of games on the wing. Nevertheless fans lambasted Harry for it, still Bale was learning the role and would have improved no matter who was in charge, because he is a great footballer. The departure of VdV and Modric had left him as the main man and AVB doubtless encouraged him to take more responsibility, but this was normally in the sense of attempting to score himself because there was never anything else on. However, he still went missing for large parts of games, his contribution to overall team play being arguably greater under Harry. And as a team we were much more dangerous going forward under Harry.

Re: Lamela arriving in Seattle

Have not seen him in an OS article saying he's arrived in the US - but I hope I've either missedc that or there has not beeen one

Of couse I've seen him in training

In lots of pics - but not in the US, Equally Sandro and Chirches - that's why the squad I put up was those named on OS as having travelled to the US

Have not seen anything on twitter from him (or on OS) - hope you are rigiht though as he needs to play and show what he's about pre-season

Of course I'm looking forward to watching us play on tour, these games are really all about regaining the players match fitness (as well as makiing piles of cash for the club) but the key pre-season match will be the one against Shalke on the 9th August. I think that will tell us a lot more about what kind of side Pochettino will be putting out against the pikeys the week after.

Chiriches and Sandro withdraw from your with injury. Chiri lower back and Sandro with a virus

It's really nice to see Lamela being active with the squad on his social media. Posting pics of him and English lads is a very good sign. Something was off last season, but already under Poch he seems 10x happier. Transfer that onto the pitch and he'll have a great season. Looking forward to seeing him in action Saturday night.

Spoke w/ a member of Chicago Spurs who made the trip to Seattle. She said that Lamela stuck around after the open practice yesterday to sign autographs and take pictures w/ everyone (said he was the only one who stuck around until everyone had gotten autos/pics). Said he was very nice to everyone.

Not enough to judge. Just a "thank you" when told she was glad he was healthy!

I can't be the only one who immediately thought of Miley in the locker room with the lads, bongo style..?
