Does anyone know anything about Stambouli? By the sounds of it its a done deal. I don't quite understand why, if he is so highly rated we've managed to get him for £4.7m?

Newcastle managed to get Cabaye for around 4.5m. Am assuming Pochettino must see qualities in the player that will work his footballing philosophy.

However, I do think it is a real shame that it doesn't look like the club will be getting Schneiderlin in this window. He would have been a useful player to have yesterday. Him and Dembele in the middle from the start could have made a huge difference.
Perhaps a move in January if a couple of other players are moved on, though.

Dembele - Goes missing to much, I can't recall him ever having an outstanding game for us. He's a very average player.

Im not saying there aren't bargains to be had, i'd just never heard of this guy. He has obviously been brought in to replace Sandro who looks certain to go to QPR. Which is such a shame but if he can't stay fit he is no good to us.

As for Dembele he should be one of the best in the league as he has everything, but like you said DR when has he had an outstanding game for us? Maybe Poch can get the best out of him?

d00gie, I believe he was in the last year of his contract. If so then that would make sense of the price and why he was so appealing to levy lol.
