Ok, so these three players cost 30m, 27m, and 17m respectively.
That's 75m total. All three major, I mean major, flops.
They can't even get in the side. Our side, which lets face it is quite an average squad.
And to top it off, these players have been replaced in the side by the likes of Townsend, Kane and Mason. All young players who cost us nothing!!
Baldini should be sacked on this basis alone. Surely the worst set of signings in history, for the money paid & performances?!
Lamela, soldado & Paulinho

how much do you reckon they are worth / Spurs can get for them.
Also if the Paulinho and Eriksen fees were swapped, no one would bat an eyelid

I'm pretty sure those figures aren't upfont fees without conditions, however they've not performed. Saying that I don't rate Townsend and Mason either

Well so far we have spent not much more than £13m on Soldado, Lamela was 30m euros including some add ons also, so more like £50m.
Lamela is improving all the time and gets in our team regularly, Soldado also gets in the team and has plenty of assists if lacking the goals. Paulinho has hardly ever played.
Mason I do not get the fuss, he has plenty of energy and effort but how many goals and assists has he had, decent squad player and no more imo.

Mason has played about 15 games, what exactly do you expect - Cesc Fabregas?
I hate goals and assists being used for players who aren't centre forwards. Modric had a very average record in this regard, but is one of the best in his position.
Some of the things you should be looking for in your non-defensive centre midfielder are the crispness of his passing, short and long, his reading of the game and awareness of what is happening around him, his mobility and his workrate. Not goals or assists

Lamela is improving not from what I have seen needs to go out on Loan, probably championship get some confidence
Agree about Mason though we really need better quality in there

Only Liverpool have wasted more money.

Yes ok soldado & lamela get in the side from time to time, but the return from them in terms of goals and assists has been minimal you have to admit

3 young players who are 20 years old we have purchased in the summer are:
Moreno 12m
Can 10m
Markovic 20m

Way too early to write Lamela off, we've already seen glimpses of what he can do. Mason and Kane would've been sold if we judged them the same.
Bobby and Pauly fair enough, get a good bid and get rid.
