Re: Official Spurs Thread

Is Green that good? Or just a solid prospect? I feel like he's on USA just for future experience.

He wouldn't be with Bayern if he wasn't. He is still young and like all young talents, he has high potential. It doesn't mean he will get there though, but he is looking good so far.

Re: Official Spurs Thread

I keep hearing that Lamela is on his way out but his price-tag (~25 mil) seems a bit too steep.

Lamela was such a disappointment for me. Mainly because he and Eriksen were such a dynamic duo for me in FM, haha

Re: Official Spurs Thread

Would be kind of silly to sell Lamela only a year after buying him for so much considering he spent the entire season either injured or being coached by Tim Sherwood.

Especially with an Argentine coach arriving.

Re: Official Spurs Thread

I think Lamela is going to have a great year. More Spanish speaking players and coaches will make him more relaxed. Plus know he has a year under his belt getting used to the EPL style.

Looks like the Davies singing is a done deal almost.

Re: Official Spurs Thread

What's the center back situation looking like this year? Our CB's were **** last year...

Re: Official Spurs Thread

Letting Caulker go was probably a mistake but you guys certainly don't have **** CBs. Up until AVB lost the dressing room you had one of the best defenses in the league. At most you guys only need a solid backup CB.

Just wait and see, Spurs defense will be hard to score on with Poch as a coach.

PS. My team is still going to smoke you

I admit I'm still a novice soccer viewer, but it seemed like every game (particularly towards the end of the season), there was some horrible defensive gaffe giving up a goal. Usually by Dawson or Kaboul.

Re: Official Spurs Thread

Dawson is kind of past it a little. Kaboul used to be fantastic, not sure what happened to him but part of it was definitely the injury.

Also have to factor in general team morale in the second half of the season combined with having Tactics Tim as a coach.

Re: Official Spurs Thread

good to see a Spurs thread here. I've been a Spurs fan since 93' and you can blame that on some English friends who were fanatic Spurs fans and me being an impressionable youth

and yes it takes a thick skin to be a Spurs fan, the team is never good enough to be in the top four consistently or bad enough to be in the bottom ten.

what sums up being a Spurs fan is the last two times the Spurs had a legit shot at the CL, one was ruined by food poisoning before the last match and cost the squad and when they did get top four they got knocked out by Chelsea winning the CL, so "Oh Spurs" is very appropriate.

with that being said, COYS!!!

Pre-season Friendly vs. Jermain Defoe and Toronto FC on ESPN2 right now.

Re: Official Spurs Thread

Lamela has had a good first 15 minutes. Nice to see him rewarded with a goal.

Hopefully he comes into the season with some confidence.

I agree he was all over the place that first half. Good to see Townsend finish as well.

Re: Official Spurs Thread

Greizmann would be a great get for you guys. I'm still kind of hoping we can steal him from you, but it looks like we aren't interested.
