Big week ahead in terms of transfers. We need to add to the squad because we are looking very thin right now

A big push for Emile Heskey to get us Champions League. Oh look, there go Arsenal buying Arseshavin - now watch him score 4 goals at Anfield

Tottenham are facing an anxious wait to find out whether UEFA and FIFA will impose a 30-month footballing ban imposed on managing director of football Fabio Paratici by Italian authorities. (Daily Telegraph)




Lets hope

If he was banned, how would that impact Tottingham Hotspurs?

because that's where he works?

Yes, but I mean would it stop them buying or selling players?

I’m guessing no? Incredibly harsh and weird if it did!

I don't get the constant chat on here that we need a partner for Kamara, surely Luiz is having a fine season next to him? Very good again today and a brilliant assist. Don't think CM is a priority position that we have to strengthen.

I agree, I had Luiz down as a strong contender for man of the match. When we're dominating possession like that he's the one that's always looking to break the lines and shift the point of the attack. Add to that his ability to put in set pieces like he did today and he's well downt he list of players to replace for me.

Yep Luiz is excellent. I would love us to add Guendouzi. Those three with Ramsey or McGinn would be great. A better version of Buendia or Bailey and another option instead of Ollie we’d be far more stronger in depth and enable to mix it up more.

Thinly veiled message from Emery by having two keepers on the bench today?

[pablo_picasso]

I like to look because if we can lock down a position with a strong set of players like, lets say for example, Kamara, Sangare, Luiz, Iroegbunam for CDM, then we can safely & quickly move onto another position & try & get players in as strong as our stable of CDMs. And we strengthen the first team, along with the squad, with relative ease... We don't have to do it. We could look at the forward areas first. But I think that if we can lock down an area of the pitch that has given us trouble since the days of George Boateng, then that can only be good for the club in the long term. Just my humble opinion though. Im not saying that we have to do it.

Nas and Wes barely glance at the subs listing. Next!

You think in a matter of a few months after the lengths that they went to bring in Emery, that the relationship between the owners and the manager have deteriorated to the extent he needs to send subliminal messages?

maybe the point is to get it right?

Need more in final third to have a serious go at 7th imo.

Expecting two attacking signings in next 10 days. Rest can wait until summer as I assume Digne will be back in a few weeks.

I can't think of a single reason we didn't bring Danjuma in other than thinking we didn't need to, because somebody better is coming instead.

But yes, a winger and a striker and there's no reason we shouldn't be looking at top eight. Don't do that and it's as neglectful as the Heskey comparisons above.

Based on the rumours so far I think Dembele and Delefeuo are pretty likely before the window is out. Will give us more flexibility and rotation options in final third and both are rated by the manager given he's tried to sign both previously.

I think I read somewhere today that the young Everton winger, Anthony Gordon, was linked.  Is Wilfred Zaha out of contract in the summer?
