I doubt it, unless we bring in another defender.

Aly is a LB... I cant see him having any bearing on GJ's position.

I think GJ may play the next couple years out here and then may move on to a smaller club, once he's past his prime, for a nominal fee... His sell on date, to get any value out of him, may have come and gone (29 this month)...

After all the times Spurs have screwed with our transfers I'd be very glad if we broke the bank to sign Lamela. I would literally be over the moon.

I'm sure West Ham would give us a 5th of what we paid for him (GJ)....

Apparently, we have lost out on Willian to Spurs and now we are turning to Lamela, who will likely go to spurs too...

Looks like FSG refused to match Spurs' bid of £35m. Well, on the bright side at least we won't be strapped to Willian's £100k/wk wages.

Also, I heard Arda Turan is our next attempt at a transfer.

At this point, I'd say we should go after Adem Ljajic.... Would cost a third of those other two, with as much promise... Issue is he's kind of a head case.. His numbers were actually better than Jovetic's last year at Fiorentina and he's younger..

Could provide the value of Cou and DS...

I acn get on board with that. Reports in Italy say that AC Milan already have an agreement in principal with him, so we may need to get the ball rolling...

The difference between Spurs and Liverpool is that they get all their IN's before they sell their OUTs.

We sold Carroll last year and couldn't get his replacement until January. And now we've sold Downing and are swinging and missing at every possible replacement.

It's just frustrating.

Levy is a shrewd fricker... They knew all along they were going to sell Bale... IF they don't, I will be very surprised...

Bale or Coentrao, Willian and Lamela???? No brainer... again, only RM can afford the first choice..

Also, they never really used their Modric funds from last year...

Yeah, it looks like Spurs came in, in the 11th hour with that bid...

I cant blame FSG, they are willing to spend, but at some point they have to say no... Spurs are playing with a little extra cash right now...

Willian is not a £35mm player... £30 was a stretch... He's never scored more than 8 goals in a year

I just wish our transfers were a little more secret.

Pipe dream probably. I'm sure the Russian club published our Wil bid to make sure they could create competition and drive up the price.

Just once I wish I could hear of a player maybe coming in the day he's actually bought.

Frustrating as another rival for a top 4 place improves while we don't.

No, he's not. He's not a £100k/week player either.

I agree, its good we stick to our guns and stand by principal. It isn't always the most fun thing to do, but in the long run it will be better for us not to over extend ourselves.

My concern now is that with the way this game is heading, if you aren't willing to overpay players then you aren't finishing top 4.

Is he going to immediately start for spurs with all the other acquisitions? Seems like he might would want to take slightly less play more frequently if he has aspirations for maybe making the WC?

Or he could just take the money and run
