Day Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 How much the squad below will change by the time the Premier League season begins is yet to be seen. Paulinho will certainly feature, meaning one of Tom Huddlestone, Scott Parker or Jake Livermore has to make way. In the fullback department Spurs are stacked high. Kyle Walker is safe in the starting eleven, but there is speculation over the futures of Assou-Ekotto and Kyle Naughton. Danny Rose and Adam Smith (an U21 fullback who is ready to push into the senior squad) could replace them, although the media at large still believes Tottenham are looking to recruit externally rather than use one of their own academy talents. Here’s Tottenham’s Barclays Asia Trophy squad: Goalkeepers Hugo Lloris Brad Friedel Heurelho Gomes Defenders Kyle Walker Kyle Naughton Benoit Assou-Ekotto Jan Vertonghen Michael Dawson Steven Caulker Younes Kaboul Daniel Rose Midfielders Aaron Lennon Andros Townsend Gareth Bale Tom Huddlestone Mousa Dembele Sandro Scott Parker Jake Livermore Tom Carroll Gylfi Sigurdsson Lewis Holtby Forwards Clint Dempsey Jermain Defoe Emmanuel Adebayor http://thespursblog.wordpress.com/2013/07/15/no-surprises-as-spurs-name-asia-trophy-squad/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaddesdenRam Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Spence or Smith then. Decent I hope we go in for Barnett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I think people are talking about us going for Barnett because he's the one who fits the bill best (PL player within our wage bracket and realistic signing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Am I the only one thinking 'Is this all 2 Mill gets us :/ ' 1.3/1.5 million It's two sets of wages instead of one, that's 500,000 right there. England u21 Experienced CB playing in the PL who's been promoted with three clubs And we don't know if that's it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop_Ram Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I hope we get Smith on a perm if he is loaned for the year. I'd hate it if we never saw any of this money from Brayford. Sam Rush has been smart so far, lets hope that continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I think it'll be Smith for sure - which by all accounts has already proved himself a good championship player. Very shrewd signing - no doubt it'll be a view for a permanent (for both club and player) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baggie192 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Maybe he meant Craig Dawson... I expect him to feature in our squad this season another loan seems unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 He said he doesn't want to go to the Championship again though. was probably before options closed up for him though, he hasn't been took on tour with spurs so maybe that has pushed him to accept another loan, or maybe he was waiting on cardiff? either way, it looks unlikely a premier league club is going to pay for him, and it looks unlikely he'll be in spurs first team for the upcoming season. He rejected QPR back in may, so nearly 2 months ago - when options might have looked a little brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen this guy play but from the noises everyone is making he sounds like he could be a perfect replacement for brayford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I've got a feeling it'll be Spence, we're all getting excited about Smith so it'll be the colossal let down that is Jordan f*cking Spence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very shrewd signing - no doubt it'll be a view for a permanent (for both club and player)Reminds me of the Dave Jones loan, wasn't with a view to a permanent but once he was here and playing week in, week out, it tipped the balance in our favour.
