Good morning.

I managed to watch most of first half of the Red Bulls game before the commentary snuck into my brain and began carrying out a living autopsy… so then I opted to forward fast through the second half stopping only to watch the goals.

There’s no need to get to uptight. We won and it was only a preseason. But there are some areas nevertheless of mild concern. 

Bentley I want to work. I never had a hate on for the guy. But if Bale is determined to pursue his vision as a number 9 or 7 or whatever then we will need more than him on the wing to facilitate. He was predictable, slow and generally weak. 

Obvious positives were Bale and Gilly. Clearly cut from the same cloth is Harry Kane. I’m hesitant with the youngsters but at this stage it’s clear to see why Villas-Boas is interested in him. 

Thud started off poorly, constantly giving the ball away, had a couple of nice touches including the shot then fizzled out. Last night he and Jake were no DM pairing of distinction. Jake didn’t actually do very much.

Nice to see Teemu again  :wub: and despite carrying a few pounds and coming back from a nasty injury he hustled and moved the ball about nicely.

And so to the Modric business. Strange one this.  

The truth is that some players and/or their agents unilaterally wander off and shake hands on a move to a new club. Then the club’s raunchy Presidents talk to each other and start pointing out really dull stuff like ‘contractual obligations’. 

So ickle Luka appears to have been busted. Andrès Villas-Boas told ESPN:

“Luka is doing double sessions on his own in London. When we get back to London I will give some of the players some time off and when we return to sessions we will decide what is best for Luka to do,” Villas-Boas said.

“He is a Tottenham player obviously, but he has to be in good mental condition to return to our training because his colleagues are one level up in terms of preparation and fitness.

“So we will have to setup a program for him that gradually brings him up to the team, that gradually brings him to fitness level – and then see what happens.”

    Just noticed as I scrolled through my twitter feed Norman Giller tweeted that it was leaked to him “at Olympic Park Spurs are close to clinching signing of a proper striker, Robert Lewandowski.”

    That was at around 6pm.

    Rejoice?! Or take with a large handful of salt?! :freu

    I’m running 7 hours behind, endeavouring to catch up.

        Morning Ronnie, Couldn’t find a Managerial connection to piracy. However, there was a buccaneer who went by the name of “Red Legs” Greaves, who amazingly escaped execution by being buried alive and submerged after an earthquake. I believe his colourful nickname came about because of his Scottish descent, whereby wearing kilts was conducive to sunburn on the lower regions.(Thanks to Wiki).

    I like the cut of AVBs jib!

    What he is basically saying is that we will be making preparations for Modric being part of the squad / team this season. We don’t have to sell, we don’t need the money and the guy is on a 4 year deal.

    So Real, if you want him, pay up. If you don’t we are well happy with keeping him (even though really we are probably at the stage where we actually want to get rid).

    AVBs carefully considered words are designed to further strengthen our negotiating hand…..which is in stark contrast to Redknapp who would blabber anything that came to mind “i don’t blame him for wanting to leave” “Modric deserves to be paid more” “Chelsea are a massive club” “He could earn 3 times what he’s getting” and so on.

    I bet Levy is over the moon to have a manager who shares his high mental capacity and who together then can formulate a cunning plan and bloody well stick to it. With HR in charge, Levy must have felt like Blackadder trying to execute a plan with Baldric.

    At the end of this, we will get our money. Guaranteed! We will also have someone lined up (or several options), whether that is Mountinho as first choice or Allen or Sahin as fall back.

    I think Levy & AVB will be a dream team for us, on this side of things at least. Hopefully AVB can get the results on the pitch too!
