MY CONTEMPT FOR MY OWN EMPLOYEES IS ONLY MATCHED BY MY LOVE FOR TOM BRADY'S SWEATY MAGA BALLS
So Spurs are going to make an EL run with Bentaleb, Dembele, and Mason at DM. Cool.

West Ham are due to announce the loan (with option to buy) of Manuel Lanzini. I remember that he was highly rated a few years ago when he was playing for River Plate but he's been playing in the UAE for a while so he'd probably turned poo poo

Does this mean we ship out Zarate? If we actually land Song I'd say good transfer window overall.

I'd rather have Dzeko than Benzema at the arsenal.

I'd be gutted if Theo went, he's looked incredible preseason.

I'd pick benzema over Dzeko but I'd pick the return of fully sick nicklas bednter over all those chumps :rms:

We need another striker so I don't think so. Carroll is out again and there's now nobody in the club who thinks he isn't a useless waste of money, so Payet/Jarvis/Amalfitano/Zarate/Sakho/Valencia/Lanzini are expected to cover the front 8. Unless we give major squad time to youth teamers, that's not really enough to secure a european place, especially with the added games.

If Carroll gets fit and we land either Destro, Gervinho or Llorrente (none of whom I can see coming here) then maybe.

Would love for Zarate to stay, it seems like Bilic wants 3 behind a lone striker so he'd be a good option to have as cover there

Mbemba is quite good and almost certainly an upgrade on what Newcastle have but Mitrovic is a massive gamble for £13m. Dumb as a brick, bit lazy, can nod them in but he's no Andy Carroll. Huge step up from playing pub league football.

Eder is definitely going to be really, really good, and not just when commentators get him mixed up with Gomis and/or Emnes.

Of all the guys who wouldn't fit his "philosophy" I think Zlatan is pretty high up there on the list.

The 100 mil bid for Muller was just a smoke screen for the real bid made on Ronaldo imho.

The LvG secret striker mystery is a pretty good way to get journos on his side in case of a disappointing season as he's given them free reign to write any old poo poo for the next month and a bit.

Because LVG is nothing if not concerned about what journos think of him.

Who needs defensive midfielders anyway?

Bentaleb is the only thing even remotely resembling a defensive midfielder.

Bentaleb, Mason, Dembele, Tom Carroll, Dele Alli, Alex Pritchard and Christian Eriksen is all we need for central midfield. Nevermind that the last three are attacking midfielders and Dembele some sort of attacking box-to-box midfielder that dribbles all over the place.

I don't really mind the players being sold because well, they weren't really very good. Considering Spurs were trying for Schneiderlin before Man Utd decided they want him, I'd say its a fair bet that Poch has asked for a DM.

He's just sort of an all-round central midfielder, like Bentaleb.

If he could tackle I guess he could be a defensive midfielder.

Mason is a box to box player who scores goals when he plays at his level (League 1/Champo).

The midfield Spurs have now is probably good enough to get them to Europa League football. They could spend £100m on it and do no better. What's the point?
