Roma are taking some convincing, given the probable high cost. They have other targets and Vertonghen is just one on a list, regardless of his agent trying to push things.

The Belgian has repeatedly been linked with a move away from Tottenham this summer and some of his performances haven't been up to the standards many thought he would maintain. If progression had continued as it looked like it may at Ajax then Vertonghen's agent would be meeting with clubs a step up from Roma, and not having to do all the chasing.

Daniel Levy would want a good fee, that Tottenham got the defender for a good price due to his Ajax contract running down is irrelevant when it comes to a sale. Vertonghen's choice of clubs could be further restricted.

Adebayor, however, finished the season as the club’s top scorer after finding his form under Tim Sherwood during the latter part of the year.

One for the future, but as also been at Everton on loan in 2011 (they then fought off interest from us, Arse an Manure) won something with their u18's i think.

Still not the major CB signing hoped for. Still don't think we are any better in that area. Chiriches will have to get over his injury problems if we are going to have a competent CB pairing.

Only thing is he's Left footed and ideally to pair with Vertonghen you'd need a right footed/sided CB imo.

A bit short for a typical EPL CB ( about the same as Vlad and Mussachio) but his heading is far greater than both. Great passer of the ball, has plenty skill, strength and speed. Is a converted CM, so that explains his calmness on the ball and the way he is always looking up when on the ball.

Hello, Davee59, and while I can see why Holtby has gone, Sandro is a different matter. Surely behind the scenes something must have happened? Like you say, it doesn't make sense.

Would have liked to have seen a new striker, but not to be.

Big season for Soldado/Lamela etc.
