    St Hotspur Day (14 April)

    In Gutterboy's defence, "St Hotspur Day" was first thus named by The Spur fanzine in celebration of that classic 1991 FA Cup semi final victory - when Spurs lifted some of the weight off the club's shoulders as the full extent of its financial crisis emerged (while also denying Arsenal the...

    Son Heung-Min Signs - Official

    Not necessarily. I don't think that Son can pay up front on his own. Berahino can. If Kane was to be injured, and if Berahino (or another genuine CF isn't signed - Austin, say), we'd have no focal point for our attack. So I would hope that Son isn't the only remaining attacking signing this...

    Son Heung-Min Signs - Official

    Bizarre post. It's worryingly obvious why you might have chosen Kagawa as your comparison but, in truth, he's no more an indicator of how Son might fare in the Premier League than Berbatov is, for instance. And Berbatov did alright, I think.

    Son Heung-Min Signs - Official

    Not quite. I suspect that you had a quick scan on wiki and included this season's stats. And although he hasn't scored yet this season, he has only played one game! Over the last three full seasons, he has scored 33 goals in 94 Bundesliga games. Perfectly respectable for a wide forward. As to...

    Probably also worth adding that I've read that, like a lot of S Koreans, he works very hard for the team too. So, right up Poch's street.

    Son Heung-Min Signs - Official

    As a few people have already said, why not both? We've sold enough (with more to come) to be able to afford both the fees and the wages. Or do you mean, which do I prefer? In which case, I haven't seen enough of Heung Min Son. So I'd have to go with Berahino on the basis that he's Premier...

    Yawn, mate. Ad hominem fallacy. Must do better.

    Son Heung-Min Signs - Official

    Nothing wrong with that as a fringe benefit. But it's his proven record over a number of years for an excellent club in one of the two or three strongest leagues in world football that has attracted our interest, I would imagine. He's also very quick - and we all know too well how desperately...

    Some previous top S Korean footballers have won exemptions or found legal loopholes to allow them to defer military service.

    Son Heung-Min Signs - Official

    We're what........£20m in the black on transfer deals so far this summer? Maybe Lamela to go too. Not to mention Fazio, Lennon, Adebayor....possibly Townsend. There's another £30-40m in that lot. So even if the aim is to spend less than we raise this summer, we could easily have enough to buy...

    Capital One Cup 2015/16

    It's Arsenal. Playing the kids against them is not an option. Poch would be crucified. Wenger won't play the kids either. He doesn't do that these days. Just uses his squad a bit more. Besides, even back when he did regularly field young teams in the League Cup, he always put out a strong team...

    Capital One Cup 2015/16

    Hope we only give them 3000 tickets again. Until they start giving us our full cup allocation at their place, they don't deserve any more.

    cHARLIE aUSTIN

    I'd rather buy Austin at £15m - let alone £10m - than buy no one! But if we are only to buy one more striker, I'd ideally prefer one who offered more pace and versatility than Austin.

    Capital One Cup 2015/16

    We also lost to them at home at this stage of the League Cup a few years ago too. Think it went to extra time before they eventually won 3-1. Seem to remember it being Steven Caulker's first start for the club and he looked a little out of his depth, to be honest. Edit: just looked it up. We...

    cHARLIE aUSTIN

    I think it's more a case of people not wanting just Austin. They understand that we have greater need of a more versatile type of striker. Austin would be great as backup to Kane, if he was prepared to play that role, but he wouldn't offer us pace or an option as wide forward. Berahino, by...

    Saido Berahino

    Contrary to all the doom laden chat over the past few pages on this thread, I actually see West Brom's handling of this saga as a very positive sign. Their very public revelation of every development (first bid, transfer request, second bid - all of which they they bravely and steadfastly...

    General Transfer Rumour Discussion Thread

    I simply kept my response within the parameters of the hypothetical situation that you created. You said that if Lamela was sold, we would not replace him. You subsequently said that, even though he is an awful player, you would rather keep him - just to make up the numbers. I merely played by...
