    I'd 2nd this. I think he's worth a shot, especially as a loan... but we really do have a few too many midfielders.

    also Rendog beat me to the LB jokes :52:

    He was very close to signing for Sevilla but Spurs came in with a bigger bid...thought to be around £4.5million. I remember being worried reading Hertha forums when we signed him...because they didn't seem exactly devestated to see him leave...

    He wasn't fit when he first signed so we had to wait a while for him to make his debut. As had been said his performance weren't very good when he did start to play.

    He's not the most mobile, he lined up generally as a center mid but often drifted to the right flank. More attacking than he is defensive.

    There is talent there...just needs the right enviroment to fulfil it I think.

    Man, I have a mate that says "But can he play left back" every time someone is even mentioned in the same sentence as Celtic, I sometimes want to gouge his eyes out with a spoon. I think that mcmanus is much more of a liability this season than naylor, and wilson has been exellent so far.

    I'd take this guy as he is young and has done quite well in the EPL, WGS is prob thinking we can get him in and nurture him to a point where he is running an absolute mock, OK OK, I hear ya all saying "but we have too many midfielders", but take the green cross code into consideration, "think before you look, before you cross, YOU KNOW".

    Naka 30, Hartley 31, Robson 29, he is thinking on long term, personally from what I have seen of Hartley this season he will not be a 1st team player next year as he is off the pace, he only got MOTM against st mirren because he managed to stay vertical for 90 mins IMO.

    So we get him in along with crosas and brown and they are young GIFTED and bl......... sorry got carried away there, and they can learn of the old heads for a year or so before they are chucked right into it. GET HIM IN I SAY!!!!

    sounds a strange priority but I suppose we have just moved on Sno and Graveson and many have given up on Donati (we also punted JJ during last season). We have brought in Crosas and last season we brought Robson but i suppose we are still down on CM numbers compared to last season. Personally I think our only CM worry is whether any of our CMs can do the Hartley DM role well when he is out. That is a potential big weakness.

    This guy has played LB I´m pretty sure, big things were forcasted for him he´s suposed to be a bit of an animal, in the best sense of the word.

    Spurs have loads of LB´s Bale, Gunter and Ekko Etto I think his name is. Prince Boatang is probably down the pecking order a wee bit. A loan deal initialy could be a good idea let him settle and make it permanent.

    Quite excited about this one, hope it happens.

    tbh i would take him. i think that players play better when they are not wearing a Spurs shirt. really hate that club with a passion. living in north London i'm unfortunately surrounded by those yids who over rate their team completely.

    great prospect but doesn't perform as he is at White Hart Lane. its difficult to explain. its like Superman playing football with a Kryptonite shirt.

    thats what they are called! one of they're chants is 'Yid Army...Yid Army...Yid Army.'

    i'm not saying it as a derogatory expression, just as a nickname that they call themselves.

    Ok mate I can see why you said it but it´s a bit like the word NxxxR, only to be used by black folk. I hope that explains it for you.

    I thought it was a bit out of context from you, now from your explanation I can see why you said it.

    No probs mate:50:

    Ellboy mate this is 100% right, I know a few Tottenham fans, none are jewish and they all refer to themselves as yids,and Other tottenham fans as yids. * even that guy who was "the wee man" in all those songs is a yid, in a footballing sense. A pal met him and asked if he was a hun or a tim and he responded "I'm A yid."

    OK mate if I am wrong then my bad, when I lived in Glasgow I had a couple of Jewish freinds. Who I am sure made remarks as being ofended by the term Hammy used and also another term Kxxe.

    I know Hammy was not using the first expression as a negative slant, I just think it maybe taken to be ofensive by some.

    Regards to the non jewish Totenham fans who referer to themselves as a yxxs. As a supporter of that club then that is what they call themselves. I guess it´s acceptable to put a label on yourself(in any walk of life) but when others do it then it may become a touchy subject.

    Anyhow no probs:50: as it´s clear that Hammy´s post was not meant to be ofensive at all.

    Back on topic I hope we sign this guy, he had a big reputation before he went to Spurs. Quite a few have failed at that club, he’s young enough to go on and fulfil his potential at another club.
