Well, Marc-André ter Stegen is a pretty good keeper and good with his feet, too. His performance during the USA tour of the NT was not really representative of what he can do. MAtS was thrown into the BMG first team when he had just turned 18 and he was a major reason that the club wasn't relegated in that season.

Here are some stats that I posted that time about him: http://www.goallegacy.net/t304p54-german-goalkeeper-appreciation-thread#462089

Thanks again for your input. I appreciate it

Atletico Madrid & Inter Milan want to take Spurs’ Erik Lamela on loan for the rest of the season [Gazetta]

I got a crazy idea...

Spurs could just....wait for it....wait for it....

USE him.

It's not like they don't need fresh ideas to spice up the attack

Well they did use him last game, seems like new manager has him in mind at least.

Loaning him out is a bad idea.

He's already taking a long time to adapt and has apparently experienced a "culture shock" and had his family move in with him, a terrible idea would be to send him somewhere else. Though while I was supportive at first I can no longer be supportive of the way he's been used. Settling in and not playing all the time at first was OK. Now he needs games. He's needed them for a while now.

AVB did a wonderful job with him and Adebayor

He wasnt the first to disregard Adebayor and im gonna go out on a limb and say he wont be the last.

Never the less, if they were having a hard time scoring then there is nothing wrong with trying him out instead of ignoring.

Ayways, back to the rumors

windkick wrote:Which one?

I am reading reports that we got ter Stegen for 4 years x 10M

He is talking about Courtois, who, Chelsea have said time and time again, is not for sale.

I dont think talent was the reason, it was his shitty attitude. Bringing him back in desperation completely undermines his authority with the rest of the squad.

Manchester United target Marco Reus will cost £40m say Borussia Dortmund [Daily Mail]

Manchester United are preparing a £30million bid to bring in Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke when the window opens next week [Daily Mirror]

Would be a dumb move Man U most likely wont even be in the champions league next year, Koke will though

The issue is that Spurs don't have a defined best XI, and instead we keep hoping that we have the right formula of who will perform best each game, but we keep seeing that we get inconsistent performances out of players because they don't get consistent game time to figure things out.

I actually thought Lamela looked great when he came on in the West Bromwich Albion game, but I just wish he would shoot more. He facilitated a lot of great looks, but there was that 1-2 at the end of the game with Adebayor that I wish he would of shot instead of passed.

Pretty sure Cerezo already shot down any rumors of Koke leaving. His wording if I remember correctly was along the lines of "I am sure allot of teams are interested, but we also rely on him and plan to do so for many years"

As mentioned earlier, Atleti didn't sell Kun and Falcao so easily (they waited some years), why would they sell Koke now right before the knock out stages of the UCL? Makes no sense

And LOL at Man Utd thinking they can nab Reus this window.

If we can get Reus I'll forget the terrible summer and Fellaini transfer

Reus to Utd. and that too in this winter

united should focus on transfers they can actually make happen like baines or some midfielder they actually need.

Why bother with Reus when you can buy

'Worlds 5th best player' Kruse, for half the price.


But, seriously. He's not leaving BVB until after the World Cup imo

It's Parma not Palermo and not really what Roma needs

What's so funny about that   

BVB are done. They're a selling club too. None of the other superpowers need him. I think it's a perfect signing for both parties - come the summer.

Barcelona are rumored to be wanting him as-well, though unlikely.

If Man U fail and its very likely they will, to get to champions next year he would be downgrading himself to them.

Reus rumour is from daily mail, which has like 5% crediblity.

Well, most links are B.S

The 'credible' ones like sky don't break news at all

They only jump in when the deal is practically done. So, believing a link is up to each individual really. Some are true, most are guesswork/B.S
