To be honest, him going stopped their momentum and I'd have thought it won't get started again straight away even if he does go back..

It had stopped before he went.

Absolutely it did, mainly because they went a couple of transfer windows without getting anybody in. Once Kane has gone they will be left with Son as the only decent player, I can't think of a single Spurs player other than Son who I would want at Villa. They are a team in decline and require a complete re-build and I can't see Levy digging deep into the Spurs coffers with a huge debt to settle to get that many top players in.

I'd take N'Dombele off them, but other than that yeah, looks like a big squad of expensive guff.

I appreciate that they got to a European final (and thankfully lost) but where is the evidence that Pochettino is any good? He was good at Southampton, but so was any other bugger they appointed.  Levy is either desperate or stupid.  Poch even managed to finished second in a two horse race in France, with one of the world's best squads.  Humbe pie indeed, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Levy is asked to fall on his sword.

N'Dombele would be a very good signing.  Not sure what age Lucas Moura is but I think he's a very under-rated player too.

We are being linked with Spurs outgoing keeper Paulo Gazzaniga according to the ever reliable Meaning Evil website. He's 29 and leaving after a four year contract comes to an end.

Linked with Flamengo Uruguayan Winger Giorgian de Arrascaeta (or George to his mates).

26 years old and was voted Uruguayan player of the year.

If he can be persuaded to leave Brazil, he's be a great replacement for Barkley playing the 10. We certainly need to add some creativity to the side.

He's from Nuevo Berlin so may have antecedents who had to leave Germany in a hurry circa 1945 which is fine.

However he's a Flamenguista. :(

He's of Basque and Italian descent. I could live with a three of Grealish, Arrascaeta and Buendia playing behind Ollie. With that kind of service I'd bet on Ollie scoring over 30 goals next season.

Not sure what age Lucas Moura is but I think he's a very under-rated player too.

29 in August. Beautiful and hard working player but we'd need to have a bit of a clear out to make room for him. Spurs are rumoured to be looking to move him on. Why not?

Isn’t he a striker that doesn’t score very often?

Sounds like a great combo. Make it happen!

Plays the number 10 role.  Doesn't fit with our purchasing criteria though.  Good player although will be behind centre forward Harry Kane now too as Kane likes to drop deeper these days and that leaves very little room at Spurs for a proper number 10.

Indeed. I can't understand why all three deals aren't already done. The hold up must be with Buendia as the Norwich fans think he's too good for us.

What about Mata as a reserve 10 and good egg to have around the place?  I think he is on a free and may offer something in a quasi coaching role.

Ha! I just had a Percy moment and thought you had some #intheknow, couldn't decide if it was Arrascaeta or Buendia. ;)

I know, I just wanted to use his hometown to have a dig at Flamengo.
