lol just because of the Paulinho Transfer Spuds website crashed!

Spurs' midfield three of Dembele - Sandro - Paulinho is probably one of the best in the league... if not THE best.

Would you swap Mata, Hazard and Oscar for them??

Didn't think so..

[mediator 2,026]

They are central midfielders and not attacking like Mata Hazard and Oscar. So yes Spurs' midfield in one of (in not the) best of the league. But our attacking (advanced) one is the best without a doubt.

They play in different parts of the pitch...

Would I swap them with Mikel, Lampard and Ramires? Yes, yes I would.

So you would play with 3 defensive MF's? Good luck with that..

Very excited about this Bojan - Ajax loan move. Exactly the move that is needed for him and he should absolutely tear up the scoring charts in Holland this season.

I was on an Ajax forum just last night and the fans were drooling over a potential move but completely writing it off as despite being the richest club in Holland, they thought they wouldn't be able to pay their wages. Good for them Ajax doing lovely business this window.

3 defensive midfielders? Have you ever watched Dembele or Paulinho play? =\

You're making yourself look stupid now; I'd quit while you're ahead.

Your the idiot that said you would swap them for Mikel, Lampard and Ramires, who correct me if I'm wrong, but all played either in the DM role or sat on the bench last season. Paulinho is your typical box-to-box MF similar to Ramires, but a better attacker then defender.

Dembele is a CM, would you swap him for Mata??

The two idiots that liked your post are as clueless as you.

Is this a troll post? Can't tell if serious - your incompetence astounds me.

Mata isn't a cm

Spurs have a fantastic midfield now, this could be the year which they finish above Arsenal

hopefully it won't matter to us at all as we'll be challenging for the title

I don't see how people can even compare them.

With regards to the formation Spurs play, yes it's the best midfield. Otherwise I think ours is better.

The fact that you think I'm trolling astounds me.

Mata isn't a cm

When you play him in the formation he has been playing for us, he is. When you play with a 35 year old DM/CM (lampard) Mata drops back and takes the ball into the attacking role.

With regards to the formation Spurs play, yes it's the best midfield. Otherwise I think ours is better.

Even if they played 4-2-3-1 I'd take them three over our potential pivot. A combination of Dembele, Sandro and Paulinho is a better pivot than any combination of Ramires, Lampard, Essien, Mikel, Romeu and Van Ginkel (bit harsh on Van Ginkel as he has only just got here, but yeah).

Dembele and Sandro destroyed United before Sandro got injured.

We have better attacking midfielders no doubt, but in a 4-3-3 they have a superior starting midfield and in a 4-2-3-1 they have a superior pivot.

No he isn't... at all. He's basically playing as a second striker for us; he sticks right next to the striker and rarely drops deep.

Spurs don't have a better midfield than ours, and there's still a lot of moves to be made before September.

I don't particularly rate any of their midfielders that highly, they're all solid players but there's nobody outstanding amongst them. It's amazing how so many overrate other teams' players and underrate their own, absolutely baffling.
