Good morning.
I guess the start point here is when was there a time that weren’t concerned, borderline terrified even, about our transfer strategy?
The popular debate seems permanently to be about landing that ever elusive ‘Hollywood’ striker. As thrilling as that prospect is, the home truth that few wish to face is getting the whole team tactically set up to effectively support whoever the front man or men might be.
With Modric, Rafa, Bale and Azza across the middle there ought to be enough creativity to service anyone and everyone.
For the umpteenth time, you build a team from the back and it’s an area we’ve been mending and making do with for far too long. Injuries don’t help, but as mentioned in relation to the madness of us loaning out all our back up boys, it has to be understood that whilst no one can predict injuries; it’s fair to say they will be more likely to happen than not. This after all Association Football, not Tiddly Winks.
King ist kaput. Dawson and Eunice appear to be in some revolving door sketch where they seem only to bump into each other going in and out of the physio room. Gallas is martyr to gout.
Gary Cahill was a player we were, ‘linked’ with. I recall Arry issuing the old, ‘top top player’ spiel. Now Jan Vertonghen.
Vertonghen’s agent has spoken of ‘approaches’ by a number of clubs, us included. No offers and Arry’s comments back that up. With just a year left on the lad’s contract there’s bound to be more than a little light whoring going on. So why aren’t we more proactive?
Jan would probably cost anywhere up to €12m his wages would fall into our range. Let’s get stuck in and spend shrewdly.
We saw in the Manc derby how important defence can be. Kompany was awesome and if we had a player like him we would well and truly third now.
I could understand Levy’s transfer policy with all the speculation surounding Redders. Now, Levy will decide if he stays or goes. If he stays, back him! We need a right back, centre half, right winger and a top,top striker. I think Defoe will go and Ade’s future is uncertain. This means we can start from scratch. I’d like Hunterlaar/Lorente and i’d try to get Villa from Barca. Let’s see…. COYS
Haha.Smaller than Defoe ..this player looked like a mascot.
On a completly different note fellow spurs addicts R v d Vaart was on dutch tele last night and he stated that he would like to return to Ajax to give something back to them as they were the cradle of his sucessful career. He was asked if he would be playing for them next season and he categorically said no. Maybe when he’s 33 he said. How old are you now was asked. Just turned 29. So guys, he seems to be happy with us for the time being.
Cracking up at the number of England players queueing up to sing the praises of Roy Hodgson.
The latest today was Frank Lampard who was wetting himself at the chance of playing for the new England manager.
An earlier one was Gerrard who was one of the Liverpool players who helped him get the sack from Liverpool.
You could not write it.
Won’t happen, he is 1- Not based in the premier league 2- not over 30 and surplus to requirements and 3- redknapp doesn’t sign players from abroad! Prove me wrong redknapp!! I’m waiting..
