I would pretty much say a player will be leaving them? Fellaini to Arsenal/Chelsea is a good bet for any gamblers in here | ||

With Mikel Arteta, Abou Diaby, Tomas Rosicky, and Francis Coquelin coming back from injuries, it's like new signings! | ||

if he helps to secure CL qual spot, he will have almost repayed what they spent, and if they don't secure cl spot fellaini will probably move on, and they can pay for it with the money they get from him. edit: i don't know much about him though, but he seemed good on football manager so i am excited. | ||

Apparently he and Schalke weren't going to find a deal to extend his contract, so it's probably Schalke getting what they can for him. Still surprised to see it that low though. Also, sounds like Fer is a good bit of business (although not surprising considering Moyes always seems to get it right!). | ||

The patience in the first goal is something only he would do and it was a great dummy. Every goalkeeper would assume he would strike it instantly so the goalkeeper made himself as big as he could. Messi realises it instantly and finishes it like that. Third goal again, great balance, great composure, not a lot of strikers who could have scored it that way. It looks easy but it's hard as fuck. The footwork, the ball control and the ability to turn that fast is what sets him apart here. Fourth goal he was under pressure by a lot of defenders, but I agree, that was a tap-in. I don't think many people underrate the way Messi scores. His goalscoring is for me the most impressive part for me. Especially lobs | ||

Especially lobs Well a common complaint is theres apparantly an absense of "glam" in Messi's goals. Whatever the hell thats supposed to mean, apparantly being automatic anywhere within or around the box and making it look easy isnt as valuable as taking 50 pot shots before one of the volleys stick and look cool when they hit the back of the net. | ||

Not sure what the rush is, though, as Spurs have plenty of attacking players already. Maybe injures? It's there manager, he is kinda crazy. Sigurdsson never players anymore, and well last season he was the reason Swansea finished so high, had chance to go to Liverpool where he arguably would of played more. Huddlestone doesn't play and is wasting his talent there Parker is overated and adds nothing in the offensive half of the pitch Sandro is even more overated and is just plain bad in that position Livermore is too young and is not getting enough games Townsend doesn't look up for it yet. Then there only decent CM in Dembelele has been injured, and plays when is isn't but with the way they play with only 2 CMs i can't see him playing both Holtby and Dembelele in the same 11, so....not sure | ||

I love that he builds for the long haul and the purchases under him have been amazing. Lloris, Dembele, Vertonghen stands out. I never considered Huddlestone, Parker, Sandro or Livermore as offensive players, really. I thought Sandro had a good season until he got hurt. Good tackler to have, but as you say he's not great offensively. Parker is a good midfielder, but clearly getting up there in age. Good passing and vision and good work rate. Livermore and Townsend are still young so they have time to improve, and Livermore is a defensive midfielder anyway. Offensively they have Dembele (although most of what I've seen of Spurs this season - which admittedly isn't much - he's being used more defensively) Lennon, Bale, Dempsey, Bentley (though he never gets played, does he? lol great crosser, though), Sigurdsson, Townsend and Falqué (at loan in Spain) and youngsters Mason and Carroll. And now they have Holtby. Tons of attacking options. I thought they'd be buying defensively as neither Huddlestone or Livermore is good enough, and Parker is rather frail. | ||

I've always found it strange that transfer sums are always reported first, while they don't necessarily mean much...it's all about the length left on the contract, the age of the player, etc. Would be much better to see salaries first. | ||
