Di Maria In, Lamela Out? Trying To Second Guess Tottenham Is A Dangerous Game

It is difficult to fully comprehend all the incidents that have happened both on and off the pitch in the past eight months at Tottenham Hotspur.

From the summer's well documented £110 million spending spree to Emmanuel Adebayor's renaissance; it has been quite the roller coaster. It is looking increasingly likely that Tim Sherwood's team will not make the top four this season, as well as an impending exit from Europe, and considering the money spent from the sale of Gareth Bale, the season will be considered as a complete failure.

So, where to now for Daniel Levy? Well, it doesn't look as though Tim Sherwood will be at the helm by the time the new season rolls around in August and there have been murmurs that the man to take his place is Louis van Gaal. The squad is, obviously, in need of a little trim and record signing Erik Lamela may be first one out the door as he does not even make the bench these days. 

As you know, the rumour mill never stops throughout a football season and there are reports in Spain that the Real Madrid hierachy are looking offload Angel di Maria who was, like most footballers, a target for Spurs last summer.

Will Levy perhaps consider a deal for di Maria involving a swap for Lamela?
