He was a beast when he played for Roma. It'd be a huge steal if he found that form again.
Yeah, I meant it would be a terrible signing overall for Spurs.
I agree then.
So, to clarify, we're now not that bothered whether our defenders can actually play football or not?
Spurs have stockpiled their squad with mediocrity in the last few seasons, although you could argue Lamela was worth the outlay given his vast potential. It was always a risky venture. Poch has done well to shift the deadwood, but they're looking very thin in every area aside from their keepers and defence and weak in almost every area.
They need a late flurry of business to even compete with Liverpool next season, let alone be an outside contender for top four IMO.

Who are you referring to?
Are you really that gullible? Lamela is in Colorado right now, preparing for our friendly against the MLS All-Stars. Spurs have no intention of selling him ...and certainly not for the ridiculous sum mentioned.
What difference being in Colorado make to the deal being close to completion?
The tweet clearly says deal is close. It's a loan deal, with an option to buy at the price. I'm not saying anything in that tweet is true. However, you need to learn to understand simple plain English before calling others gullible.
It mentions - in plain English - a price of 7.5m euros. It's gullible to even remotely believe such nonsense.
In any case, Lamela is firmly in Poch's plans for the coming season.
I'd love us to swoop in and steal him from City.
A 4-5-1 with KDB as the main man would be deadly:
De Gea
Darmian - Smalling - Otamendi - Shaw
Schneiderlin - Schweinsteiger
Pedro - De Bruyne - Memphis
Rooney
Plenty of creativity and pace.Darmian - Smalling - Otamendi - Shaw
Schneiderlin - Schweinsteiger
Pedro - De Bruyne - Memphis
Rooney
Provided we buy pedro and otamendi that team looks immense.
No Mata is an issue for me though. Most of the caf will hate the lack of Herrera as well...
EDIT: thats a 4231 not a 451. That wolfsburg kit is grim.
I am really not sure if you are just being emotional or if you did not read my post correctly. You make so many assumptions about my motivations it's ridiculous. I never said Otamendi will turn out like AdM, I said the thinking behind the transfer is similar. Di Maria had a brilliant 6 months with Real, there was a lot of talk about us lacking a pacey forward, not to mention a desperate need to lift the gloom around the club after Moyes. We forgot that he probably does not fit the profile of what we need or that his consistency or lack of thereof did not merit a 59millions price tag. We acted like if a muppet fan was in charge of the club. Going for excitement and thrill over what would actually fit in. I compared this situation to Otamendi now. A lot of talk of us needing a CB, a player who had a brilliant season becomes available and we just go "to hell with it! whatever it takes. GET HIM!".
I am really not sure about Woodward and I am not unhappy with how much he spent. I don't really care about how much we spend if there is a clear though process behind spending. Some of our spending however has been done with the mentality of football manager gamer not too dissimilar to the way Real Madrid conduct their business. The not sure part is about whether Ed is truly a transfer muppet or if he is merely trying to appease to a section of fans that is acting like hormonal teenagers.
If you think Otamendi will fit to our play, their fair enough. We will have to disagree but at least there is consistency to the argument.
Exactly this. I don't dislike Otamendi either. In fact if we still had Fergie, I would consider him a brilliant successor to Vidic and a very likely perfect replacement. But buying because someone is available and there are no other options without considering how they would fit in smacks of desperation and pure muppetry.
Either an upgrade on what LvG demands from a CB which ball playing abilities, or no one. I don't think Otamendi offers an upgrade in that department, certainly not 30 or 40 millions worth.
Can we ban Jamie Jackson now? I don't think any French media have reported an offer this low.
Wh...wha...what? £28.5million? 
feck off Guardian.
feck off Guardian.What is wrong with that guy, does he want LVG to bollock him over and over.
What the feck is that? £28m..Noooo fecking way! £28.5m feck OFF!
I can't believe we're selling Di Maria for less than £30m when Memphis cost us £145m. Everyone's taking us for a right bunch of mugs. English press are always wrong about these transfer fees.

Ogden and Ladyman also mentioning the £28.5m value.
As if Jackson knows anything.
I want rid of him now but if it was £28.5 million I'd be pretty miffed.
I've said it for years and I'll say it again; Jamie Jackson is one of the shittest "journalists" I've ever seen. He almost never has any quotes of any kind, he prints nothing but speculation and he's almost always wrong. Most of his articles consist of a click bait headline, followed by one paragraph of speculation vaguely relating to said click bait headline, and then the rest of his article is unrelated guff taken from one of his other factless articles - just to get the word count up to the minimum requirement.
He's a fecking hack and I'm amazed that the Guardian continues to hire him.

If that is true PSG are taking the piss, they'll obv have to up that offer
Did he take the rumoured 45m bid, think it was reported in Euros instead of Sterling, then set the resulting conversion a little smaller as to constitute an opening bid?
Only way he comes to 28m pounds

Jaime Jackson and Duncan Castles should be banned from the Caf. It is quite weird that they are still allowed here while other journalists have been banned. It seems that they're only purpose is to troll United fans. And it seems that they know as much as the average caftard, but then twist their articles to suit their agenda.
Aye, we won't manage to recoup his full value, but we shouldn't go for anything less than £40m. I'm struggling to believe that's true though, since it was about £45m that was being rumoured the other day.
Jackson is traveling with the team through the US tour. Why on earth would anyone want him banned.
I wouldnt surprise me with the latest plane saga LVG wants him out of the group, but he only said last night he wanted him to stay
I wouldn't accept anything less than £30m.
Ogden hardly knows anything. He and the other journalists have been out of the loop since Moyes was fired. I doubt Ladyman knows anything about this as well.
That's why we're better off with info from foreign media.
