But in Carroll do Spurs possess someone who could genuinely become a leading Premier League light in years to come? At the age of 21 Carroll shows maturity beyond his age.

Continual speculation about the future of Gareth Bale seems to be a feature of any transfer window for Tottenham Hotspur. It is perhaps unsurprising that a man of his quality has so many potential suitors, but is it time that the Premier League club provided some kind of confirmation on the stars future? Reports from Spanish paper Marca this week went so far as to suggest that the Welsh winger had already agreed a deal in principle to sign for Real Madrid. Regardless of whether these stories are credible, they cannot help but aid in unsettling both player and squad.…
The search for Tottenham’s new number 9 seems to be gathering pace. With reports coming out of Spain from AS suggesting a move for Valencia’s Roberto Soldado may be in the offing. However, with such a deal likely to break the Premier League club’s transfer record are they not better off taking a risk on a cheaper proven alternative? Dimitar Berbatov joined Tottenham from Leverkusen in July 2006 for a fee believed to be around the £10m mark. He gained great acclaim for 2 excellent seasons at White Hart Lane where he formed a fantastic partnership with Irishman Robbie Keane.…
The striking situation for a Tottenham fan is something of a sore spot. Down the years they have consistently been linked with high calibre frontmen, only to see the likes of Rasiak, Campbell and Bent turn up on their doorsteps come early September. This summer was meant to be different and carried an air of optimism that finally the Premier League club were going to get it right. But after transfer target after transfer target have slipped away, are Spurs about to miss the boat for another year? This summer alone, fans have been fantasising about a frontline led by…
It would be difficult for even the staunchest Arsenal fan to argue against the fact that Tottenham possess one of the best midfields in the Premier League. However, with an increasingly bloated squad of players to choose from have Tottenham overloaded themselves in the middle of the park? The capture of Paulinho for a fee reported to be around £17m marked the beginning of Spurs’ foray into the transfer market this summer. Many have speculated that such a move means that Villas-Boas will look to favour a 4-3-3 formation next term. Indeed a midfield 3 of Dembele, Sandro and Paulinho…
Last season it was announced that StubHub would become Tottenham’s first official secondary ticketing partner, in a three-year deal. Initially being granted exposure on the club’s electronic advertising boards, the full ticketing scheme will be rolled out for the 2013/14 season. But what does this mean for fans of the Premier League club? StubHub are an eBay Inc. company who have until late offered a secondary ticketing outlet for mainly US-based sporting events. Fans who have tickets for games, but are unable to attend, can place these on StubHub for any price they wish and sell them on to another…
Often afforded the honour of being the most delusional amongst football fans, which is no mean feat. The start of any season for a fan of Tottenham Hotspur inevitably starts with the profound statement; this year will be the year. Now in most cases this year never ends up being the year. However, Spurs find themselves in one of the most enviable positions in memory. With a few tweaks here and there I truly believe this could be the season where the ‘lilywhites’ realise their potential and mount a genuine Premier League title challenger. Not only do Spurs have the…
Tottenham Hotspur sold Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko last year, after 4 years of service at White Hart Lane. Making his mark as something of a “super sub” for the Premier League club, he divided opinion amongst fans. At a time when the North London club is crying out for a new frontman, is it time to reassess the career of the loveable Russian? The talent and ability of the former Spurs man is undeniable. Unfortunately this was only ever really shown in flashes, much to the frustration of fans and manager alike. He notched 42 goals from 113 appearances in…
