Im thinking a Bale move is imminent



I'm still holding onto a little bit of hope, but if we sign Willian or linked heavily to Willian in the next few days then I think the writing is on the wall with Bale

You squandered Demps. Mediocrity endures. Fare thee well.

I'd say Dempsey performed exactly as expected. If he was younger, he'd be pulling more playing time or a bigger transfer fee. I'll miss him, but he is making room for the future.

Agree, but I will still love this team. We are loaded with Brazilians and Belgians. Can't complain.

Looks like Spurs have signed Etienne Capoue, a French central midfielder.

Something I saw online had him actually listed as CDM/CB. So maybe we can use him on the back line.

if he gives us depth on the back line, then A+ signing.

Agreed, unless we're going with like a 3-2-4-1 or something like that where we'll use a CDM or 2.

watching his highlights, he looks better suited as a defensive mid. how would you fill that line up? we have good depth in the midfield, but a lot of youth and inexperience.

I'd post my own starting lineup, but I'm on my phone and a little lazy.

No clue. I just threw that out there as an example of a formation with a defensive mid position.

A 3-2-4-1 would look something like this:

Soldado
Bale - Paulinho - Dembele - Lennon
Sandro - Capoue
BAE/Rose - Vertonghen - Walker
The
But obviously I have no idea if we plan to do that. That leaves Kaboul and Dawson on the bench and assumes Capoue is starting. Also, we still have Chadli and Holtby on the bench, possibly even Willian (but I think he's Bale's replacement along with the upgrades across the team).

Chadli, Paulinho, and Saldado are all in the starting 11 today.

Bale is once again "injured." The media is going to have fun with this one.

BAE tweeted earlier that makes it seem like he won't be with Spurs much longer. Of course he could be trolling everyone.

Benny also tweeted that he's watching the game. Probably the first time he's ever watched a football match on TV.

I didn't watch it. I've only seen a few comments on Reddit and the final score.
