"spend, spend, spend, i'm looking for a good time."

tbf to arsene i'd be wanting to troll that fanbase to the max too

maybe he's pointing the sign at the guy with the sega dreamcast-era kit

aww baby bojan is playing for ajax vs feyenoord

You watching? It's sad Feyenoord is so piss poor.

lol bojan taking on mathijsen and martins indi

That was p funny. Bojan off now. All he's done since he's at Ajax is moan and fall over.

since 2008, unfortunately

i hope he prospers but the psychosomatic illnesses don't suggest he is quite there as a high level fitba player

I bet he hates Messi so much

not impressed by ajax playing on the break at home vs a weak feyenoord

Agreed, Nilmar. Ajax is really weak. If Eriksen still goes this transfer period they are in serious trouble. If you allow this lol Feyenoord to push you back 20 yards, at home, ur doing it rong.

Rooting for a Fey equalizer but I can't see it happening tbh.

toby aldeweireld looks like he loves a bit of bantz

Yeah. I'm pleased to see pundits and fans alike are saying this was a terrible, terrible match. Shame we aren't playing against this Ajax until October or so.

Alderweireld and Eriksen are the only two great players. Alderweireld still wants to leave. He rejected Spartak Moscow and wants to go to Spurs or Arsenal. Think he'd be a good addition to either. The idea in holland is still that if Bale goes, Spurs will be doing business in Amsterdam.

Surely Arsenal will be pitching up tomorrow? Though I fear Wenger's idea might turn out to be plucking Chris Samba from the fire sale at Anzhi.

I'd be surprised if Wenger didn't have a go. You get a better version of Vermaelen for 6 or 7 million tops because he's in his last year and doesn't want to renew his contract.

the last time tobes was mentioned you didn't seem so enthusiastic about his qualities?

not heard "have a go" since the redknapp interview of yore

xpost

& given that interest so far has been from everton, norwich and spartak there are evidently some doubts

Lol Ronan

CLOSE! - Crystal Palace 0-0 Tottenham

Wow! Roberto Soldado does some due diligence out on the right wing, putting a shift in to win the ball and find Aaron Lennon.

are these livebloggah imbeciles going to embed 'due diligence' in the fitba lexicon

they also use 'put a shift in' so the factory floor and the mgmt alike can understand what soldado has done

Nilmar: well, him and Eriksen are the only two Ajax players that have really progressed. But maybe this Ajax is so poor that it makes Tobes look better than he is.

worth a sunday browse:

Everton reject 28m bid for Fellaini and Baines from Man Utd

Hey, I'm all for seeing them play for 'us', but this is just lazy from Man Utd. 'Shit we still need to sign some players innit. Awwight, just bid on those two.'

That's a pitiful bid as well, like they're not even trying

I know right? It's lazy transfer zinging.

this guy is apparently a major headache, but he's got quite the look.

I've an awful this all ends with him and Puncheon having fisticuffs at a taxi rank after the Christmas party. Steven Davis gets his nose smashed trying to break them up. Peace restored when Luke Shaw launches into a note-perfect rendition of 'Pie Jesu'.

Can Dutch sides "sell" players too young to sign pro contracts or is there a tribunal system?

He's been the revelation of the season, everyone's all over him crowning him the next big thing, so PSV are keen to renew his contract. This, for now, can only be done for the length of one year. Only after his 18th bday, next January, he can sign a longer contract.

He's on a youth contract now but idk youth players go to bigger clubs all the time?

Parker has signed with Fulham. I'll miss him a little bit but obviously he was done at spurs. De- Anglicisation almost complete.

Is Willan having a medical at Spurs today or is that just a rumour?

twitter saying both lamela and willian signing for spurs.

think willian is being reported by the telegraph.

The theory, afaict, is that Willian and Lamela will sign for Spurs, Bale will sign for Madrid and Coentrao will go in the other direction as part of the deal.

Bale out for 93. Lamela and Willian in for 65 is the word

good business, tho does leave spurs with a lot of surplus, i'd have said.

rodgers should bid £11m for cabaye, just to feel something.

idk if there's that much surplus, playing in a 4-5-1 tho

certainly none in the backline

Assuming Dembele and Paulinho are starters, that would leave Willian, Lamela, Capoue, Siggi, Holtby, Lennon, Chadli and Sandro competing for three places.

Which is a nice position to be in, of course.

An embarrassment of riches tbh. That's a hell of a strong squad.

Seems a bit football manager.

do chelsea have a really strong squad

cuz they have a better squad than that

yes, Chelsea have a strong squad

tottenham aren't going to have a playmaker from central midfield or an orthodox playmaker like oscar cazorla etc

if they get willian he can do some of the latter but he is more of a robinho type who starts wide, inner left

Three spaces surely

Which u typed ok

Capoue chadli cover obv

think dembele might lose his place to capoue at this rate
