After watching the WC, it's Colombians, Chileans and Hondurans we should be looking at too.

South Americans in general seem to have found a good blend of technique and physicality, in a way that Southern Europe is still too far towards the former and Northern Europe (except Germany) too far towards the latter.

Sure you're not thinking of Ecuador or any other South American country? Honduras were ****.

of the two sterling is the harder one to clamp down.

sturridge has been really fortunate to play along side suarez and sterling who create massive problems with their trickery and movement, and open up space for him to play into.

But that's what's supposed to happen. And he's still done a brilliant job of taking advantage of it. There's no arguing with 32 goals in 45 Premier League games. It's an outstanding return. And some of them have been superb.

Edit: And I don't know about anyone else but I'd almost forgotten that this is supposed to be the Fazio thread. Maybe this victims talk should wait for the victims match thread!

Sevilla say Fazio isn't a Tottenham player, lawyers being consulted

http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/sevilla-say-fazio-isn-t-a-tottenham-player-lawyers-being-consulte

Spanish club Sevilla really aren't taking the departure of Fazio very well. The defender had a €10m clause, Tottenham agreed to pay the €10m, Tottenham have paid the €10m, what's their problem? It seems to boil down to the fact that Sevilla don't much like Tottenham or the way they go about deals.

The bad blood between the two clubs is down to Daniel Levy and Tottenham's supposed poor behaviour toward Sevilla in the transfer market. The difficult purchase of Didier Zokora, the departure of Juande Ramos and the refusal of Spurs to sell Giovani dos Santos to Sevilla have been mentioned as reasons.

Sevilla at the weekend threatened, via local newspaper Estadio Deportivo, to go direct to FIFA should Tottenham try to rush things or Fazio refuse to train. That all looked solved. Tottenham say the deal was completed on Wednesday, Fazio has been pictured holding the shirt, he's given the regulation gushing interview and has a perma-smile.

However, the president of Sevilla Jose Castro has told the media that Fazio is still a Sevilla player and continues to have a contract with them. That's because, according to Castro, they haven't received the money yet.

He's quoted by Estadio Deportivo as saying "Today, Fazio is a Sevilla player, because he still has a contract with Sevilla and it's not rescinded... the money is deposited, but not in the coffers of the club.

"I cannot understand, but we have a legal team who will study what to do, this was neither a satisfactory or desired output. Tottenham paid the clause, but he will go when the contract is terminated."
 
Their gripe is with the LFP then. LFP hold the registration. If they have approved Fazio to join Spurs then Sevilla had go forth and multiply.
 
I understand from his profile that that Fazio is a left side CB. This is the same as Jan.
So, is he going to play with Jan, or rotate with him. Probably with Kabol or Dier as yhe right sided CB.
Maybe Fazio can also play on the right.

How odd. Has there ever been a case of a player having been officially unveiled by a club whilst his 'old' club dispute the legality of the transfer?
 
They should have paraded him at half time or something instead of 30 mins before the game - the stadium was half empty!!
 
This Castro fella just strikes me as a comedy Ali type - Fazio will make his debut and he'll still be saying we can't sign him!
 
New signing @Fede2Fazio is available for selection on Sunday and has been given the number 21 shirt.
