It wouldn't be an upgrade.

Swap for Lamela ffs

Maybe for Njie/Nkoudou

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Redmond's proving himself week in week out at Southampton. Not much can be said at the moment for those two players you've mentioned. Loads of potential with Nkoudou, NJie I didn't rate.

Can you honestly say we've missed Lamela since he's been out of the team?

I quite like him, and have mentioned him before as a possible buy as far back as his Norwich days.

He hasn't quite progressed as much as I'd hoped since then but I reckon he would do well under Poch. Not sure if he'd make a regular starting place in the team though.

I am aware that it's not fashionable to question Lamela on here btw

Could you honestly say redmond would have played in our team?

We have missed Lamela in the sense of having options for creativity.

Tbh redmond & Lamela are totally different players.

Like I put I'd probably have him over Nkoudou & Njie but he'd be nothing more than a bench player.

I'd actually have him over Sissoko too

Don't think we've missed Lamela as much as some Spurs fans think. Nevertheless his appearance would be welcome now we've got extra fixtures coming up.

Nothing about being fashionable thing with Lamela he's either extremely underrated or extremely overrated.

Where in reality he's a good squad option with only Eriksen similar to how he plays ( although Eriksen is more two footed )

I like Redmond. If someone left, I would be happy if it were him we chose replacing them.

As it stands though, for 3/4 positions (depending on formation) we have eight players:


Kane
Eriksen
Alli
Son
Lamela
Sissoko
Janssen
GKN

5 proven, another 3 in their first 6 months here, and also Edwards on the periphary.

Hard to find a place for Redmond there. You feel it would have to be for one of the pacier players rather than Lamela

I think he could play in our team. You might have seen more of Redmond than me but everytime I see him play he doesn't seem to put a foot wrong. Brilliant touch, never plays the wrong ball, always keeping things ticking over.

I don't dispute that Lamela is more techically gifted at the moment though.

I woulddn't say we have missed Lamela too much because of the results we've been getting. But he absolutely improves the squad, and team if we play three behind Kane, so I can't wait for him to be back. Better to have him as an option than not to have him at all.

I like Redmond but don't think he is quite there yet. See how he finishes the season.

He does need more goals and assists in his artillery. He only has 3 goals and 1 assist in the PL. Lennon was contributing more than that at that age.

Redmond (Soton)
Wilson (Bournemouth)
Gray (Lesta)

Would all be decent buys for Spurs.

Antonio (West Ham)

would I swap lamela? no

would I be interested in buying him? yes

needs to up his goals defo, but he puts goals on a plate and Southampton strikers are always misfiring. happened a few times last night too....

Might be some of that going on. Even so his final ball can be a little iffy.

Thing is I'd have expected more goals from him since having seen a few England U-21 videos, he's one of the better ones at shooting.

yeah fair enough spurtle.

hes a young lad though and the kind of player that I think would interest poch.

personally I want us to sign Damari Gary from lesta and have been saying it since about half way through last season. every time I watch him play I am impressed I think he's really skilful. he doesn't play all the time and maybe he needs bulking up and a bit of discipline teaching, but I think he's a real talent and a player flying well under the radar of most of the top clubs....

i like redmond but he does not fit the system. I think in the right side he could be a very very good asset.

Sadly we play narrow and there is no changing that not at all hence why the likes of N'kodou, townsend, n'jie all deemed surplus to requirements.

Would prefer antonio who can play as a narrow attacking midfielder.

If we ever changed managers redmond would be top of my list under the right guidance he will flourish we just do not use his position.

As for Lamela i believe his position is the one up for grabs when we play 4-2-3-1 the weekest link inside the arguable usual first 11.

Would love Son and Lamela on when we are winning a game as subs they can stretch and aggravate the other side who will try to push up the pitch. sometimes feel they gping missing during 90 minutes.

Fair assessment

Mate why would we get Redmond when we got rid of the slightly superior version in Townsend?

Would be surprised if many agree with you that Townsend is better

I would also say that Desmond's potential ceiling seems to be a lot higher ... Just needs some proper coaching but he's developing ok at Southampton

I dunno if he necessarily is, just two ball hog wingers who make the wrong decision a lot

Desmond's
