Hi Ed's has there been any further developments regarding Sandro & his potential move to Serie A? I have seen in the press and a few other places Spurs seem to be eyeing cm's. Are there any truth in these reports? In my opinion I think Sandro / Dembele / Paulinho is a pretty strong trio to have at ones disposal.
On a separate note the same friend who mentioned Lamela wants to go to Serie A is saying he has spoken with MoPo or one of his team and is potentially going to give Spurs another try at least until Jan. Are you able to shed any light on your end if this is true?
On a potential summer of movement I would be happy if we didn't have an influx of players and went for something along the lines of:
Ins:
Davies / Bertrand
Caulker
Depay
Bony
Outs:
Naughton, Lennon, Ade, Dawson (great servant but not good enough anymore imo), Chadli (not seen a lot of him but I always left feeling disappointed after seeing him play.
I would keep Rose but as a winger as he can cross a ball and would be a decent squad player even though he can't defend to save his life.
cheers,

{Ed008's Note - Their was interest from Napoli but it looks like their looking at Lucas Leiva now instead on Loan, Sandro is one of Spurs best player they'd be stupid to sell him.. Agree with Sandro-Paulinho-Dembele trio in midfield would suit Lamela and Erikson more. Never understood why Caulker was sold tried to find out if he had a clause to return to Spurs I think you've got the Outs right maybe one of Sigurdsson or Holtby neither have impressed.

I would definitely keep Holtby, especially over Siggurdson.
{Ed008's Note - Both similar players it just comes down to preference.

Everybody loves Holtby but he's always flattered to deceive. One or two nice passes and goals against Villa and Fulham but, generally only warrants the tag of 'potentially decent' or 'tries hard' to date. He was cheap, he's young and has a good attitude, we're a long way from him being another Modric or even half as good.
Siggy a real strange one, never going to be first choice starter but does pop up with big goals and is fairly solid.
Chadli may come good, some signs of promise in a debut season where we were disorganised, pretty poor and without a system the players understood for the most part.
