This is ridiculous!!!

Kane Is so good. If only he had someone else to help him up top.

two points in three games, including two games against inferior opponents. Catastrophe.

Look like a different team without Eriksen. Couldnt get possession in the first half, couldn't create chances in the middle. Would rather have soldado than Lamela.

Holtby would be nice to have right about now...

Very much. Holtby was a better option than Mason last year, transfer makes no sense.

I'm looking forward to seeing Pritchard... Surely he'll be fit soon.

Well, Leicester City is actually top of the table right now, so everyone is looking up at them...

I think Vertonghen was the worst out there today... Lamela didn't do anything, but he didn't hurt us. Vertonghen was lucky he didn't get called for a penalty in the 1st half and gave up the goal in the 2nd.

Midfield is killing us. No service to Kane. Same old, same old. Sigh.

But....we're only 4 points out of........

nope nevermind.....can't even pretend like that matters....or i care right now.

ugh. depressing as hell.

So I just woke up from my sad nap and the answer came to me in a dream.

Timo Werner.

He can play wing and striker. He's young. He's realistic. And we probably win that game with him today

Saido was not at the stadium today for West Brom's match against Chelsea.

Could it be that he might be well on his way to becoming part of spurs?

In other news, Soldado actually scored from open play today for Villarreal.

Tottenham Hotspur are believed to have agreed a deal for Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie.

The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to White Hart Lane for the past month, with a transfer fee of up to 20m suggested.

The Democratic Republic of Congo man has shone in the Premier League in the last two years and boosted his credentials with a ten-minute hat-trick at Sunderland in April.





Also, on the Berahino front:

Tony Pulis has said Saido Berahino was left out of West Brom's 3-2 loss to Chelsea because the striker is unsettled by Tottenham's interest in the striker.

West Brom rejected Tottenham's offer for Berahino this week and said they have no plans to sell, although the player is keen to join Spurs, according to ESPN FC sources.

Saido Berahino will hand in transfer request to secure Tottenham move

Exclusive: West Bromwich Albion striker expected to ask for move in next 48 hours as Spurs prepare new bid

Berahino is expected to submit the request in the next 24 hours and will make it clear he wants to leave the Hawthorns, after Tottenham's 15million bid was rejected last week. Spurs have identified the England under-21 international as a priority signing and are expected to make an improved offer imminently, which could include defender Federico Fazio as part of the deal. But Berahino is ready to take extreme action to force the move, after he was left out of the squad that faced Chelsea on Sunday.

This latest move by Berahino is likely to increase Albion's resolve to keep the 22-year-old forward, however, with chairman Jeremy Peace renowned as a tough negotiator. Albion want a minimum of 25million for a player they brought through the club's academy.

Really hope Berahino comes to WHL. Could be a nice close to the transfer window with him and the CP winger.


When does the window close?

Windows closes on Sep 1st.




From official West Bromwich Albion site:

quote:

---

WEST Bromwich Albion have received a written transfer request from Saido Berahino.

The request has been rejected and the club's position remains unchanged from that outlined in the statement from Chairman Jeremy Peace of August 18.

There will be no further comment.

Bugger!

Remember when I said I was done with the Lamela experiment last week? Apparently, so is Poch. Multiple sources have him heading to Inter Milan.

"Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly agreed a 6M loan fee with Inter Milan for Erik Lamela and 14M for his sale.

Its nice that my posts on texags have so much weight with the club

the 25 mill they are saying is the "minimum" they will consider is ridiculous. Instead, they reject an offer that's still much higher than what he's worth IMO (although I wouldn't be mad to see us shell out 22mill for him), upset the player even more......that should bode well for the team.

Lots of chatter about Bayer Leverkusen winger Son Heung-min coming to Spurs.

http://www.espnfc.us/story/2582376/leverkusens-son-heung-min-has-tottenham-medical-reports

Bayer Leverkusen winger Son Heung-min is set for a 30 million move to join Tottenham Hotspur, according to German media reports.

Son, 23, was set to take part in Leverkusen's Champions League playoff second leg with Lazio, but already on Tuesday missed Bayer's final training session ahead of the match at the Bay-Arena.

Local newspaper Kolner Stadtanzeiger and national football magazinekicker both reported on Wednesday that the South Korea international has already travelled to the English capital, where he will undergo a medical ahead of the transfer, which is believed to be worth 30m.


Son came through the ranks of Hamburg's youth academy, which he joined aged 16 in 2008. Following three years at the Bundesliga stalwarts, he moved on to Bayer Leverkusen in 2013 for a reported 10m.

The winger, who can also play in a more central role, has played in 62 Bundesliga games for Leverkusen and has scored 21 goals. He has also struck five goals in 19 Champions League appearances for the Bundesliga club.

Sounds like a good signing!

I'm curious if Levy was always going after Berahino and Son, or if this was done in reaction to WBA rejecting the second bid.

"Son Heung-min is the only player in history to score a Bungesliga hattrick on a losing side. Sounds perfect for us."

That's a lot of money, and apparently will be signed the same day we pack off our most expensive signing to date.

I really like the signing and that spurs are willing to spend money
