KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Yet again Spurs sign another big name..

Spurs have now signed Lamela, a guy that i have watched at Roma all last season and rate highly. He has signed fora deal worth up to 30m, 25m up front with 5m add ons.

Although this might see Bale move to Madrid, with the signings of Soldado, Paulinho, Lamela, Chadlin and capoue. I think they are showing real intent and could further that with the signing of Erikson if that happens. Surely this shows the lack of investment FSG have made in the team, the gap between us and them as well as the 'you cant sign star quality with CL football' rubbished.

Thoughts ?

They're funding most of it through the Bale sale, and ridding the club of most of its core to do so. It is risky business. I'd much rather be Liverpool than Spurs right now... But I admit I'll likely stand alone in seeing it that way.

As much as i'm looking forward to seeing the back of Bale, I'd find it quite funny if the deal to Madrid fell through leaving Spurs screwed for money

I think we just feel a bit starved of a big signing or two, let's hope FSG make amends in the next few days (looks unlikely though)

Spurs havent looked good at all the 1st two games. They have won two games 1-0 like we have but their wins have come on 2 undeserved Fergy like penalties. At best they should have 2 points from two 0-0 draws. They look like they always have when Bale doesnt play, ho hum. He is the differnce maker. I agree though that its sad that they cand spend so much while we watch our squad deplete day by day.

everyone be happy to know they ain't stopping there. certain mr. erikson heavily linked to spurs now.

Spurs don't need the bale money...

If the deal fell through, no probs for spurs owner... The man is loaded

Lamela is going to b the star of the epl this season...

Spurs r building a team to win the epl title and no longer r a 1 man team, if bale is sold

They all need to settle. And the game is about much more than individual skill. Who can say with certainty that AVB will turn them into a team..?

Who can say with certainty that he won't, I THINK he will.

Thats fine. I think he has failed consistently to get teams to play well in the PL. Chelsea were poor with him in charge, and Spurs have been heavily reliant on one player, and not playing too well as a team. The history, for me, is what I'm grounding my opinion on.
