With the Erik Lamela signing looking like its going through and the possibility of bringing in Eriksen as well, this from Daniel Harris of the guardian (who else) via Marcus christensen's transfer blog today..
Spurs are spending the Bale money very well, I think we can all agree. My colleague Daniel Harris points out the difference between what Spurs are doing now and what Manchester United did the summer they sold Cristiano Ronaldo:
IN: Gabriel Obertan (Bordeaux, £3m), Michael Owen (Newcastle, free), Antonio Valencia (Wigan, £16m), Mame Biram Diouf (Molde, undisclosed)
We've bought in definitely:
Soldado 26.6m, Paulinho 17m, Capoue 9m, Chadli 7m,
Possibly:
Lamela, 25.8m, Chiriches 9m, Eriksen 9-15m
Really feels like we've done some excellent business in this transfer window, and we've spent the money we're getting in for bale plus the excess from other transfers wisely, on talent that will grow with us, as Bale did...
