Good morning viewers.
Transfer rumour wise there is nothing out there at all. Well, once you discount the recycled Edna Hazard stuff of course. But if we learnt anything from the weekend other than the pitfalls of assembling large numbers of Chelsea fans in a public place then it was the desperate need for at least two decent defenders.
Very few games left until the close of the season and I’d be far more interested in hearing suggestions for two new defensive recruits than more tiring fantasy chatter in favour of landing some Hollywood striker.
King has had it and the kindest words I can muster on that front are that it seems highly improble that there is any way back for the old girl. Gallas was chewed out for a ropy performance on Sunday, but beyond that one game he’s 34 and we might, might just get one more season out of him.
Dawson could fulfill his potential, but that simply will not happen if the cycle of mend and make do continues. Walker has potential too but as I end up saying every week I don’t believe he’s being coached effectively. The thrill of his pace if all he ever achieves with it is the odd throw in or corner isn’t enough. Especially given we rarely appear to gain any discernible advantage from any set pieces.
This era of chancing our arm defensively has to be closed, Spurs have got to bite the bullet and quit the practice of buying cheap, buying twice. It’s a no brainer that the demands of the Barclays Premier League are such that the days of shipping in some bright prospect and developing him are virtually gone. So stop it and target a pair that have already got their boy scout Defender badges.
I’m unconvinced we’ll secure Champions League football this season. But then Spurs have become a dog chasing a car. What would we do with it if we caught it?
A goalkeeper isn’t a priority, one bad game doesn’t make Carlo a clown. Deployed right (if they don’t all bail) we have a magnificent midfield. Ade, Rafa, Saha and the Midget Gem can all score if and when properly serviced.
The urgent issue is the back line. Oh yes, that and someone professional to bring it all together, of course.
If tottenham dont get top 4 and england get a diifernt manager harry should be sacked anyway. We needed a goalscorer for years and he just cannot see it.
Brendan Rogers as a managerial choice….
Defensivley I think our problems our compounded by the very presence of Dawson, I really dont rate him that much to be honest, I think he’s quite flakey and have you noticed his ‘Scooby doo’ face when he has a double take when he get’s mugged for the ball?
Defenders for Spurs? havent the foggiest! I can’t see who would come especially if there is any truth in your previous blogg re the potential departures of Bale, Modric and Walker.
i too have the same doubts over dawson, always have
Too many un answered questions for me to think about who is coming and who is going.
1) Best case Scenario:We get Top 3 Arry leaves in blaze of glory to England. Mouriniho brings half Real team with him.
2) Worst Case : We finsh 6th Arry is rejected by the FA. Modric , Bale , VDV , Sandro , Lennon ALL go. We sign Titus Bramble and Heskey in the summer.
Classic,,, (Hehehe)
Bring in “The Powerhouse” (Heskey) and all will be sorted.
To be fair to Dawson most of his recent injuries have been pretty freakish and would have knocked out anyone who sustained them. Given a better run of luck he, Kaboul and Caulker would form an excellent core which would only need supplementing by one (or maybe two) others. Maybe Gallas and Nelsen could fill that berth between them?
daswons injury pretty freakish????? absolute nonsense in the game against Stevenage (when he last got injured) his positional play was so bad that he hurt himself trying to make a challenge when he was totally out of position in the first place..Self inflicted – Useless!!!
Dawson was injured jumping for a ball with the Stevenage striker who was only interested in Dawson, not the ball.
What position should Daws have taken up – yards from the striler?
You almost qualify for the most made-up post of the year!
Completely agree. Lay off of Dawson. Don’t get why such a large section of our fans seem to need a designated goat every season to denigrate and abuse, regardless of that player’s actual performance or commitment. See a shrink and sort yourself out.
We cannot get any worse, I’d expect us to grow a pair and win what is left to play :daumen:
I hope so Felchy, but sadly Tottenham and growing a pair never seems to go hand in hand!!
