    The Match-fixing Thread

    Dinamo Zagreb - Lyon 1-7 from the 2011/12 season did raise some questions back then if it had been fixed, as Lyon needed a big win to qualify.

    Ratings vs WBA

    Lloris 7 - Safe hands and superb awareness of the through balls Walker 7 - Only caught out once and got forward well Vertonghen 7 - Not troubled much and good distribution Dawson 7 - Decent BAE 6,5 - Shakey first half but improved in the second half. Parker 6 - Good work rate but didn't...

    Official - Holtby

    Re: *Official* Holtby to join in January - pg 25 Looks like a perfect replacement for VdV with his pass and move style combined with hard work and a aggressive attitude. His only weaknesses I have noticed is his lack of pace and he's a little lightweight, much like Van der Vaart. Hope he'll...

    Maybe swapping during the game, but it worked okay in the second half against Norwich.

    ***Tottenham Hotspur vs West Brom*** Official Match Thread

    I just hoped AVB had learned his lesson from Norwich at home where he also started Dembele on the bench and we looked clueless until he was introduced. Holtby is fully fit and showed against Norwich that he can contribute with creativity which we so desperately need and Dempsey was awful in that...

    Which striker (that changed clubs this January) should we have signed?

    Ba or Llorente would've been perfect, unfortunately bigger clubs came in for them. I've only watched Leandro Damiao during the olympics so can't say if he'd also fit the bill. Actully prefer that we didn't spend 8-10M on some decent 2nd/3rd choice striker (Negredo or Hooper) as this strategy...

    Best signing of the window

    And may I add, kudos to Butland for rejecting Chelsea because he wanted to have a fair chance of getting 1st team football. Sounds like Stoke may have hinted that Begovic will be sold in the summer.

    Best signing of the window

    Was thinking the same. I can't claim to have watched much of Butland, but he does seem to be getting good reviews. 4M for a young goalkeeper is very good business especially considering they can now sell Begovic to Man Utd or another top club for +10M.

    As frustrating as Levy can be with his haggling over every transfer deal, I genuinely believe he's one of the best chairman's around in terms of financial and strategic plannning. Look at how some of the other similar sized clubs such as Everton, Villa and Saudi Sportswashing Machine have fared over the last years.

    Willian

    Watched most of his CL games this season and in all 6 games he was the player with the most passes of the front 4. Definately more of a playmaker than a winger.

    Willian

    That's a pretty poor description IMO. He's their playmaker played on the left drifting around the pitch. Kranjcar with speed or a lightweight Ronaldinho is a more correct comparison.

    Has he been injuried this season? Only scored 6 goals in Ligue 1

    Willian

    More than anything he was the one player I would really have wanted to sign for us, the guy just has so much class. However at that price it seems totally reasonable Levy withdrew from the bidding.

    *** Tottenham Hotspur vs Norwich City OMT ***

    Agree that he should've been introduced earlier as our wing play clearly wasn't working today. But you can't blame AVB for not starting him, as whenever he has been given the chance from start he has looked average at best.

    Official - Holtby

    Re: *Official* Holtby to join in January - pg 25 Drop Dempsey. As long as Adebayor is away with Togo, our bench offers no attacking options if we are in need of a goal. Then we can take off Parker and introduce Dempsey if needed.

    Spanish doping - has the lid come off?

    I don't think it's possible to seperate the two terms as your technical level are dependent on your physical level. If you can push your limit for the build up of lactic acid just a few percentage you'll be able to perform much better technically. IMO it does raise an eyebrow that Spain are the...
