By the way, have you seen that Stoke have signed Afellay?
Once a very good player, utter bobbins last year (and been injured more than not over the last 5 years). A bit of a climbdown from their preferred targets of Konoplyanka, Shaquiri & Yarmolenko
The same Portuguese paper has said this morning that the Lamela deal will be 'difficult to do'
Konoplyanaka and Shaquiri have seen better days so both they - and Stoke - have probably dodged bullets.
Yarmolenko? Hmmm, I can see that one coming off. Or not
Spurs have been quietly going about their business improving their defence.
We need another striker and a DM type. Not many of either out there at the right price.
