Good evening.
Maison Hotspur hasn’t a spare vase, jam jar or fluted pint glass so thank you to those who threw flowers after this morning’s matinee.
What does make a real difference to proceedings is when you encounter a footballer who doesn’t get your goat. Maybe A&E is out there spending £4M on a house and having a full blown hairdressing salon installed – at least he has the gumption to keep it under wraps – as he knows the only men who could have ever let that information fall into the public domain and lived it down were Liberace and David Coverdale (c.1987).
No, old A&E deserves our praise. In a frank interview a while back he revealed that football is just a job to him. He owns a car, but also an Oyster Card. And now we get quotes far too many players seem unable to spit out.
“Like I said, I don’t want to move to another club. If I have a good feeling with my chairman I will stay. I don’t have a reason to move, even to play in the Champions League, we can do it with Spurs. We have done it once already, so why not again?”
Now I’m not getting misty eyed because he’s staying, although that’s just dandy by me. I’m genuinely impressed because here is a very honest and decent human being who actually acknowledges that he is part of the situation. We have done it once already. so why not again?
This is what we are after. Something a bit more considered than, “I like go play Chelsea big club.” Or whatever the snake oil quotes from Modders were.
Here, boys and girls is a man prepared to share the previous success and the burden of the task ahead. He acknowledges he was part of the achievement and be default part of the failure to replicate it. But he wants to go on. Not bail.
A&E we salute you.
I like the jib of the lad’s cut, but you’re only as loyal as your last quote.
sign tevez!!!
Get Mirko Vucinic,bit like berba ,full of tricks only faster and more powerful :daumen: got spurs written all over him,coys
Harry Redknapp specifically mentioned he wanted Giuseppe Rossi on Sky.
Coveting players openly in public. Take note Ferguson, Chelski etc. Don’t do it :freu
That said, given that Rossi’s agent said the player was open to a move to Juventus (in spite of their lack of European football) now that Barcelona’s mooted interest in him had cooled.
“The important thing for Rossi is to go to a top club that would welcome him. If it’s not a top club then he’ll stay at Villarreal.
“Giuseppe wants to evaluate everything carefully, he knows that a decision on where he plays next year is a fundamental one for his career.”
Are we classed as a top club yet in the eyes of others, and specifically, Rossi? And could we afford him?
Sadly I suspect this is just talk. Something to appease before the court case, before anything happens, before Modric commits to fucking off etc.
Besides, I like Rossi, so not much point in getting my hopes up just yet. :-D
bae has got an attitude…and players with an attitude should be made an example of…i would make him the captain at spurs or the skipper.. he is the only one capable of doin his nut on the park..coys
Badda bing.
can we have a look at who will be leaving – seeing as we cannot buy until we do – only Ohara and Woody have gone ….. I thank you
Harry Redknapp? :whistle: :silly:
Hmmm, you arenot taking this seriously. At least the gooners are imploding he he
Being told I’m not taking things seriously by Sid Trotter? :shocked2:
Whilst talking on Sky, aside from saying he didn’t want to sell Modders and he wanted to bring in two “top” players, he declared that he wanted to “win the Championship with Spurs”.
Does someone need to remind him he’s not at West Ham, and it’s them that’s in the Championship, not us? :lol:
Did you hear him in his 20 minute interview on SSN say ‘top, top, top player’? One more and we’ve got the four tops.
