If Spurs can shell out this kind of cash on a teenage fullback, while Rafa has had to cope with £6m signings for key positions, it really puts things into perspective.

We haven't even started the summers spending yet so what makes you think they have more money than us? Also it is £5m down with the rest likely based on success/appearances like walcotts.

 

God some people are never happy unless they are trying to find something wrong with the club are they?

Think he was talking pre-investment.

[bobhorse]

least said soonest mended wait and see how much backing Rafa gets

[Strontium]

Think he was talking pre-investment.

Quite obviously I was, yeah. The use of the past tense must have confused some people :whatever:

[NelCarra]

Who gives a shit anyone......we dont really need a new left back

then talk about players spurs have bought pre-investment and new tv deal.

[Jari37]

umm - yeah we do.

[Jonte]

umm - yeah we do.

 

LB for £10m vs LW for £10m?

Without talking about the sense of paying so much cash for a unproven 17year old.

[Maldini]

We got a better LB for less than £2m

[Strontium]

We got a better LB for less than £2m

 

Yeah, but Alan Kennedy retired a long time ago...

[Kopite]

We got a better LB for less than £2m

 

I've heard Insua is the proverbial DB's.

[Unrighteous]

I dont know enough about Insua to say... but Im happy we didnt waste 10m on him.

 

Spurs bought a left back whom has a great left foot and is indifferent when defending.

We already have that in Riise.

[Owen]

Would anyone else be up for taking him on loan to fill the Doss's squad place? Thought he was a cracking prospect at the time.

[silverlining]

No, he's too slow.

 

I'm not saying he's any worse/ slow than Insua, because the only LB worse than Insua has just been sold to Napoli, but we should be looking for better.

[Tom R]

I like Bale.

 

But he looks more like a monkey than surely is healthy.

[FidelMurphy]

i think he's better suited to left midfield for that reason, we already have a similar type player in Aurelio and surely if he does leave it'll be somewhere he's guaranteed first team football, somewhere like Fulham.

Which one?

 

Being shit, slow or looking like a monkey?

[Randy Marsh]

Not a chance Spurs would entertain the idea of loaning us a player when they are in direct competition with us for places currently. None whatsoever.

[PaulMcC]

Bale is crap. Good at set pieces though.

They might with Bale. He played a record number number of games for them without ever winning one match.

[dirty_sanchez]

Is that record still ongoing, or have they won a game that he played in yet?

[YNWA12]

I think they have now won PL games wherein he came on as a sub, but he's still never won a PL game that he started. He's rumoured to start on sunday (6)

[aws]

Good player who has been badly man-managed at Spurs. He's got so used to the arm round his shoulder he falls over when it isn't there. Needs a bit of the old "hands-off, challenge to succeed" approach.

[Xherdan]

No, he's too slow.

 

I'm not saying he's any worse/ slow than Insua, because the only LB worse than Insua has just been sold to Napoli, but we should be looking for better.

 

 

 

Now that The Doss is gone I guess you need someone else to bemoan, aside from Lucas of course.
