If she makes me a sandwich and brings me a beer .
Otherwise i try not to as a rule

Ow u mean that Biatch i mite do sometimes

That's a relief. I was starting to think that A&C's "long live the biatch" comment hadn't quite worked out properly

Definitely should go for Kono or Depay. Rodriguez as good as he maybe is a fitness risk at the moment. He probably won't be fully fit till Nov at the earliest. Depay and Kono would be there from the off. Whether they would be at the level Rodriguez was before the injury is another thing.

I'd rather just wait until Jan to either get Rodriguez or sort out the LWF position then.

Completely agree and one of my main gripes with pre season friendlies. I've liked how mason has played but think it's ridiculous for him to be suddenly thought of as in first team squad and others happily sold. I'm not slagging him off cos do think he's talented but the opposition let's be honest has been average at best. I think Dembele and Paulinho have suffered in terms of fan judgement due to being successful in getting to go to World Cup. I'm completely convinced both would've had good MLS pre season games and probs scored too. I've been impressed with improvements in numerous players even at this early stage, they'd be same.

On Mason though, at his age I think another loan might be a waste of time. I'd be happy to keep him as an emergency 6th choice, getting proper coaching with Pochettino and also with his injury record a much better situation training wise to hopefully stop recaccurrances. With our injury record too he'd probs get on bench or even play at some point.

I don't think that either Dembele or Paulinho would be happy to be back up though, and I know that is a squad game but, if we get Schneiderlin, I would think that Capoue and Scheiderlin would play together against the better teams (though I could be wrong), say 25% for arguments sake, leaving 75% of games to share between Dembele & Pauli, which I don't think either would be happy with.

Also, if they don't play the majority of games, their values will decrease even further, so it makes sense to cash in on one now.

This is going to sound ridiculous but we signed an Argentinian manager, and we're about to sign an Argentinian CB. Is it me or does it seem like everything is being done to make Lamela flourish?

Indeed, Levy and Lewis have abandoned plans for the new stadium at WHL and are moving construction to Buenos Aires. Levy feels that it will help to integrate Lamela into the Spurs way of doing things.

This is what I belive to be happening. CB(Musacchio) and CM(Schneiderlin) to come in. As things stand atm, unless something very opportune arises, I'd be surprised if any other senior players come in during this window. Rodriguez is Poch's first choice for LWF, and imo we will wait till Jan to move for him.

This would be a great window if this happened.
I think we can well and afford waiting for J - rod with the attackers we have now.

 

[raymundo-iow]

With having to wait until jan or next season to get j-rod on a free if he doesn't want to play up, I would be more than happy to exercise our partnership with Real Madrid for isco on loan, he needs game time and dropping down the pecking order. We need someone to fill the gap. Seems a win win. We were linked a few weeks back if I remember

Some of you only want Musacchio so you can sing your favourite Sinitta song.

I see this has been posted in the ITK read only thread, so I thought I'd better clarify.

This is only my opinion, It is an educated one based on stuff I have heard, but it is not something i have been outright told to be the case.

Sorry for any confussion caused, and for future refference I always post the fact if it is something I have been specifically told.

to be honest I can't see anything but 'Mustachio' whenever I read his name

Like a Victorian villain

That aside, he got a good review from my footy mad Spanish mate, so I hope we get im
