Tottingham Have Signed An Absolute World Beater

Guten Ahbend.

I tell you this much, the natives are friendly. I walked passed a couple in the street both tucking into something I wanted. As this was in one of Harrogate’s many nice side streets and not a nudist beach, I fearlessly approached. ‘Hello, I’m Lee Marvin. Now, where did you get those beauties?”

Straight in there, my friend!” replied a righteous man in a fleece mopping his meated sweat brow whilst pointing at a nearby doorway.  Barely a few minutes after noon this was and within less than a minute I was the proud owner of a roasted pork bap with stuffing, a smudge of apple sauce and smattering of crackling.  A trip to York a while back had yielded something similar. This was actually more better.

And so to young Giovanni and as per the point made in the headline, this ought to be regarded as a new signing by rights. Hint, hint, Arry. C’mon Mr Redschnapps, the boy’s got two feet. You know it makes sense.

    The time I though he (Johnny Two Saints) looked best was when he was playing an “inside forward” type role a bit like VdV does; against yanks in pre-season a year or two back iirc. He made a few creative runs and totally disrupted the opposition defence who didn’t seem to know what to do with him. However his strengths are also his weaknesses in that I’m not sure his team mates have a clue what he’s up to either!

    A word on 3MP; I don’t think the selling of him was a blow to HR, it may well have been a trade off for Parker with DL saying take your pick Harold, but with Ade installed, I don’t think HR gave a toss and might actually have been the driver to offload him; let’s face it that header he missed against Citeh (which I reckon I’d have got never mind Harry’s missus) would have changed the game a good bit at that stage. Maybe Harry finally got as fed up as the rest of us at seeing that gormless “how did that not go in” smile, with such water-torture repetitiveness.

    However I do think not all is well at WHL in that HR is still frothing-off at having a player who’s not happy. Its like a game being played through the media of how Harry can needle DL, all with the practiced deniability of the media darling he is. How long will DL let this go on?

    HR is the manager and its his job to manage the players regardless of their mental ‘readiness’: if any one of them is not ready, he has to figure out what it takes to motivate them and get them sorted out: that might include fining them a couple of weeks wages every time they refuse to put their boots on. However I suspect that Modric is not playing up and will knuckle down into the job, he seems to have a good relationship with his team mates and a few wins will make all the diference in everybodies attitude.

    The big job now is to rein in the Chavs and I really think Levy should make a formal complaint against their continued pursuit of Modic, which happened after he had publicly announced that Modric was not for sale and no futher offers were welcome. Without some sanction and threat of further sanction (ie points deduction) we will have the whole thing all over again come Christmas……that’s already being reported!

    I think we need a public statement labelling this as what it is: cheating. The deliberate destabilisation of the playing capacity of another team must be covered somewhere in the rules! The Chavs are already well known for this and given the FAs love affair with ManU might just jump at the chance to bark a bit…..maybe vent some frustration at the whole Blagger affair.

    We need now to start knuckling under and getting the harmony back into the football, Protracting the Modric thing is counterproductive and I am getting a bit sick of this brinkmanship HR is playing, using the team/squad and blackmail material….. a bit like using the kids as a weapon in a divorce!

    Come on HR sort out your own head and get on with the job you are being paid for!

    always liked gds, then again i liked adel and kpb, back to the transfer window, fantastic but should have signed cahill because we all knoiw that come jan he will sign for a different london CL team, take your pick, we missed a great chance there, should have taken the huge amount for luka as well really pleased with the 3 main signings, in fact worryingly friedel has been our best player so far, indicating our defense is not perfect, having said that i think the 2 mancs will be 1 & 2 this season so the dropped 6 points may have happened anyway, so not as down beat as i could be, do like the squad and i think it will be 2 from 4 for 3rd & 4th us , chavs , arse and red scouse, have to start winning away starting at wolves, pleased they,ve had a good start as it stops us relaxing as we did last season, and then pool at home. COYS

    IF HARRY PICKS THIS GUY HE SURE MUST BE LIGHT YEARS BETTER THAN THE OLD SANTOS BECAUSE THE OLD SANTOS HAD HIS HEAD UP HIS ARSE MOST OF THE TIME I AM ALL FOR IMPROVEMENT BUT IF HE IS WORSE THAN HIS OLD SELF CHASE HIM !
