Corners scare the hell out if me. Our conversion rate on attacking corners is pretty bad too.

I think the combination of getting Paulinho and having Sandro back healthy will really help. Last year Dembele seemed to stay deeper because he wasn't as comfortable pushing forward when he was paired with Parker. And now hopefully Soldado will take some pressure off of Bale and knock in some goals of his own.

This guy just bought a knock-off Paulinho jersey from Taiwan! Finally have a good excuse to wear a Brazil jersey!

I am definitely worried about the inability to defend corners and the lack of creativity in the midfield. Last season, we seemed to just wait for Bale to do something spectacular. Hopefully, that will change this season.

I'm hopeful that between Paulinho, Chadli and Soldado this can change.

Real Madrid’s interest in Gareth Bale appears to be cooling after head coach Carlo Ancelotti told club president Florentino Pérez that he did not consider the Tottenham player integral to his plans this season.

Have Spurs announced the signing of Capoue? Everyone I look it says the deal was done. But, I see nothing official from the team.

Also, is the team content with the CB situation? I would think they would want to go into the season with more than 3 available.

I've seen pictures of him at WHL. They took forever to announce Soldado as well.

It looks like Capoue is as close to official as you can get.

What are y'all thinking our lineup will be Sunday?

................................Lloris
Walker.......Dawson.......Kabs........BAE/Rose
.............. Dembele...........Sandro/Paulinho
Lennon/Townsend....Siggy/Holtby ........... Chadli
............................ Soldado

Word is Bale is still hurt and Vert won't be ready. I'm not sure if Sandro is match fit. I would prefer Sigurdsson start at CAM with dembele and Paulinho behind him and I want to see BAE at left back at least for the first couple of games to see how he does. But a midfield trio of Sandro, Dembele, and Paulinho would be pretty sick.

Huddlestone and Livermore to Hull City. Huddlestone on a permanent transfer, Livermore on a loan.

THIS. Also, I really didn't like Rose against Espanyol. And BAE has been emo lately. I wonder if Levy is looking for a possible replacement at LB. Also, I hate Siggy for no reason. I'm not joking. I just don't like him.

I just tried to put my preferred starting 11 on paper, and I had 12 players.

Chadli, Holtby and Sigurdsson are all phenomenal subs. Also, I really like Bale on the right side of the field, but I don't think it is worth sticking Lennon on the left. I absolutely love this team. Even if we lose Bale, I think we are a formidable squad.

I hope huddelstone tears it up at Hull. I always liked him he just doesn't fit into AVB's scheme

Agreed. He will always be one of my favorites.

Haha I have no idea where you're getting this hate for siggy from. I think he could really excel this year.

I'm loving our depth right now. There is a rumor going around that we're interested in Alderweireld from Ajax which would be incredible and solve our left back issue.

I agree with Bale looks great playing inverted on the right but Lennon doesn't look comfortable at all on the left. But now with Chadli we can be more open to switching Bale. I'm freaking pumped for the season to start

If y'all had a German I liked more than Holtby, I'd be much more on it. I love Spurs midfield on paper though.
