A Little Light Whoring

Good morning.

Shakattack Don’task play Chelsea tomorrow night and another Spurs summer target that didn’t happen Willian has said:

‘Tottenham is a big club and it has a good person in charge. Andre Villas-Boas wanted to bring me to Chelsea and also tried at Tottenham. He always sends me messages. We are always in touch, and he has become a friend, for sure.’

Which sounds quite positive until you read on…

Choosing between the two clubs would be difficult. I don’t know. Chelsea is Chelsea. They are a great team, with amazing players and are the champions of Europe.

‘I would love to play for either of those clubs. But my mind remains at Shakhtar, and I’ll do my best to get the win against Chelsea. Everybody knows what my goal is. I’ve clearly stated that I would like to play in a bigger stage, whether it be England, Spain or Italy. I want to come back to the national team, and being in a bigger spotlight would help me get noticed.’

Nothing to get upset about, rather an honest reflection of the man simply wanting to advance in life.

Elsewhere some stroke surviving Intern at ESPN has decided to play fast and loose with a Hugo Lloris interview with Stade 2

“It’s not my motivation to be on the bench, I do not worry but I feel powerless, I want to play and I think I was brought to Tottenham for this purpose. I’m ambitious and I want to be on the pitch. I have respect for all the people in the club, but things are clear, I’m not here to live this situation any longer. I think selection for France and Tottenham are two singularly different things,” he said. “I did not need this match against Spain for my status as No. 1.”

I don’t speak French which is almost academic as the video isn’t working. But this is translation by a media outlet looking for a story.

Hugo isn’t going to say, ‘Oh je t’aime being on the bench c”est triffique.’ is he? So he when he says he didn’t expect to be rotated it  is quite a normal response. To say that he doesn’t pick the team is also quite a normal response. I wish I had more cheer to bring you.

Tomorrow I’ve an ‘interesting’ Maribor special and a cracking shiny new HHH is in production.

    Don’t think much of AVB’s comments re Ade. He says if/when we start to play a 2 striker formation he will be in contention. Well I would certainly hope he would be in contention seeing as we only have 2 strikers. But either way he seems to indicate that he isn’t in contention at the moment. Because Defoe is playing so well etc etc . :wassat:

    Who is Farhan Daw?

    AVB has as much chance to take Spurs on as did Harry Redknapp, Juande Ramos and Martin Jol. The problem is we just don’t have that little bit extra in terms of money to turn us from a very good team to genuine title contenders.

    The Michael Dawson situation is a case in point – with 5 centre backs we can do with moving one on. common sense says it’s Gallas. He is past his best and will only go down from here. The issue is he has no sell on value so Dawson is the man that is being frozen out as we can get a few million for him. No team in the top four would prioritise on this basis (Arsenal fans may beg to differ), Last seasons calamitous loss of form coincided with what was a disastrous January transfer window where we lost Corluka and Pavlechenko and brought in Saha and Ryan Nelson.

    The other killer is the fact that we can no longer hold onto our best players so Carrick, Berbatov, Modric etc leave the club while they are just hitting their prime.

    So the problems at Spurs are less to do with the manager and more to do with financial realities. I am a season ticket holder for 20 years and a real die-hard fan but you have to be realistic – Unless we somehow get a massive financial boost we are as good as we can get.
