Word on the street is that the player will either go to Olympique Marseille or rock up at The Lane when his contract expires in June.

Oscar Wendt is 25 years of age and a left back and we have had people watching him very recently I am assured.

Not the stuff to spark school hysterics as a solution to our Jerry Cottle striker situation. But if we did land him it would certainly be one of those intelligent, shoring up the squad for campaigns on many fronts type signings.

And at the rate we’re gifting penalties these days, it’s not as though we have a surfeit of defenders.

    And Benzema signed on loan… Oh wait

  • perrymann says:

    We have no backup for A&E as Bale is wasted in that position imo.

  • helmer says:

    He playes for FC Copenhagen. Think he would be a very good signing.

  • IoanX says:

    That one of our defenders is as mediocre as the others in our squad it isn’t an argument not to replace him or all the others. If at least we want to reach next level. Because then you need also next level players. Spurs are missing for decades now a thoroughly programmed and in time implemented transfer policy.

    This summer window will be important.

    We must offload what we no longer need. The PSB’s, Johnny 2 Saints, JOH, etc and even the also rans like Jenas.

    We need a new spine through the team :

    A good striker.
    A defensive c’mid.
    A new centre back.
    Another keeper.

    The rest of the team are fine (bar any of our favourites jumping ship).

    Mr Spiggott. Specialised subject : the bloody obvious.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    On a more serious note – there is one very obvious change we ought to make next season :

    Make Van der Vaart our captain.

    * He’s a leader on and off the field.
    * Well respected by the coaching staff & players.
    * He leads by example.
    * He talks up our chances.
    * He’s a mediator (recent comments about begbie).

    and….

    * He has 2 knees.
    * He talks to his teammates on the pitch.
    * He scores goals.

    Campaign starts now – who’s with me ? :pirat:

      He doesn’t have two knees, and he typically missed a third of all league games, and gets subbed early.

      A wise medical man once said…

      Compete menisectomy is removal of the entire meniscus and its rim. It takes away the meniscal rim and has the following almost certain consequences:

      Shock absorption is lost forever.
      The lack of the ‘spacer’ of the meniscus means more forces are applied through that side of the joint.
      The joint surfaces of the femur (thighbone) and tibia (shinbone) are going to become stressed, softened, and eventually break down (‘arthritis’) and there will be arthritic pain.
      The leg may demonstrate ‘bow leggedness’ or ‘knock-knees’, due to the collapse of the joint on the one side (one ‘compartment’).
      The knee may be seen to thrust outwards with each step, further stressing the joint (‘lateral thrust’).
      The bone may attempt to try to heal the problem – but with totally unhelpful bony outgrowths called ‘osteophytes’ (‘bone mushrooms’). These may form at the joint line or in the notch where the cruciate ligaments reside
      eventually the cruciate ligaments may become incompetent and rupture.

      Consequently I’m not with you at all. Your plan is flawed.

        Impressive. Didn’t know that you play a doctor on the interwebs.

        • MysteriousStranger says:

          :-D

          I don’t really, but my Dad is in the medical field. Consequently I have a passing “interest”, and t’internet is a source of some great resource material!

          Technically he does still have both knees, as does Ledders. Just not two healthy ones.

        • MysteriousStranger says:

          Note to self. When doing a spot of C&P from the web don’t assume your source uses the correct spelling – *Complete.

          Brycie, you meant TKA, didn’t you? :ermm: :silly:

      • Brycie says:

        A varus deformity do you think he would benefit from Uni or TKR?

      • Astromesmo says:

        A fantastic diagnosis Dr.

        Can we also add that he suffers from occasional bouts of a rare condition which causes a red mist to rise in front of his eyes… The effects of which being he runs blindly around the field, only being able to tell where he is by bumping into other players (Normally the opposition, must be to do with the shirt colour).

        Is usually remedied by either the Dr. in black on the field showing him two consecutive yellow pieces of card and then a red one, or his touchline counsultant – Mr H. Redknapp of Harley St., calling him in for an early bath.

        While this condition makes for great sport it unfortunately precludes the sufferer from taking responsibility for large groups of people.
