If Spurs don't get Vertonghen they deserved to lose the CL place. Throwing money around on Saha and Nelsen, yes they were free, but come on, why sign players like that when ready made starters like Vertonghen are begging to sign, and not getting in? Very strange, you don't often see players continuously saying they want to play for one team, perhaps only few a window. And one begging for Spurs is unheard of
.
A right back is needed at Utd. Piszczek or Debuchy would be great signings. Looks to be huge demand from English clubs for FBs. Tottenham and City seem the only ones with a decent RB, we've got Sagna too, but terribly injury prone, breaking his leg twice in a season. LB seems the same, Cole has patches, Evra is very old now and Baines is solid, but elsewhere, don't see any great quality.
Btw, looking at some of the players at the Euros playing for lesser clubs, anyone feel some deserve a move to a bigger club?
Gebre Selassie for one, getting racially abused, having the pressure of being the first black Czech player and putting in some fine performances. A good place to start attacks, decent going forward and not the worst at going back either, not a Bosingwa. At 25 though, I reckon a smaller PL club could take a gamble on him, or a bigger team as a 2nd choice.
Yarmolenko and Konoplyanka for Ukraine also look impressive. Not creating much in the way of goals or assists, but they look dangerous on the ball. Serious goal threats.
Anyone know of some others?
