Lamela 1/10!?

My mistake, if you consider his transfer price it's 0.5/10

posted on 4/5/15



How much did he cost?

I always thought he looked ok on the few occasions I've watched Spurs this season.

Maybe I only saw his OK performances

£30 million. Even if he'd cost 3 million very few Spurs fans would rate him more than 4/10.

If he cost £3M he would have been sold by now.

Poch has done pretty well in his first season though, 5/6th is about par for Spurs and he will get that this year, plus he hadn't had that much time to shape his side which when you consider his starting midfield pair are two (albeit talented) academy players it shows how he doesn't have all his own ayers in key positions.
Plus there is some decent sell on value in the current squad so he can reshape the team without spending a fortune.
Its unlikely Levy will be going anywhere.

thing is that lots of these players weren't bought for now…

dier was brought for the development squad !! he is just way ahead of schedule.

likelihood is he will develop into an outstanding develop, so giving him a 5 is just nonsense.


davies a 3? he has been poor but clearly bought for long term…



the players that are fair to rank down are the ones that are meant to be finished products.. and who haven't produced (soldado, paulinho, capoue etc), not the young players who were clearly bought for the future more than for now….

Was Davies bought for long term? He plays in the same position as Rose who is pretty young himself.

Damien Comolli was just as much of a failure as Director of Football for us as Baldini is! Martin Jol said several players had been signed by Comolli without his agreement and that they had left the squad unbalanced.

posted on 4/5/15

Yep - all that Jol team needed was a left winger (Martin petrov was who Jol wanted) but instead Comolli got Darren Bent we never do it right

Federico `the oil tanker` Fazio

Actually Moronic, most of those players were bought for now. Paulinho, Soldado, Chiriches, Fazio and Capoue most certainly were. Also, just because a sheyt player happens to be young, it doesn't necessarily mean he will turn into a world beater with age.

As for the Bale question, I was one of the minority of Spurs fans still highly rating him even after that extraordinary record he had of playing so many games without the side winning. This is because Bale demonstrated his class even before his first injury.

Most of Baldini's losers are obviously sheyt (except in the eyes of Chronic...)

I remember when Chronic said Chiriches was good .

overly generous I would say. Dier really 7.5?

posted on 4/5/15

Paulinho has shown glimpses of improvement

Chadli whilst looking ordinary most of the time has bagged a few goals

Soldado does not suit Poch`s system, he needs to play as part of a two, he is obviously a good player who will no doubt go elsewhere to a team that plays to his strengths, and do well again. Hardly ever plays.

Capoue is totally out of favour, he showed glimpses of a good player when he first arrived, then got an injury and has been awful ever since, I expect him to be one of the first out of the door.

Vlad is a liability when called upon, there is always a huge mistake in him, not what we need. He may do well in a slower league. He is versatile though, so maybe he could be kept as a useful squad player.

Eriksen has been very good but inconsistent.

Lamela has struggled with injuries and adapting to the PL, he has shown signs of steady improvement the last few months and it is way too soon to write him off at age 23.

Davies is steady eddy and no more at present, poor going forward but decent defensively, plenty of time for him to improve though.

Vorm has been good when called upon and quality back up to Lloris.

Dier is full of potential, looks like a potential star in the making maybe, a good first season.

Yedlin can not get a game at RB ahead of a stand in CB, maybe it is too soon but would like to see more of him.

Fazio has the turning circle and speed of an oil tanker, good aerially though and is useful against slow attackers and long ball merchants.

Stambouli appears a complete waste or money, never gets a game and looks average when he does pull on the shirt, can not fault his effort though, squad player at best probably.

Levy can splash the £££ but he never backs the manager. He buys what others tell him not the manager wants.
