I thought some of those guys were supposed to have potential at some stage.

WhiteWashMan

im really surpsrised that players like maghoma and mtandari are being let go. they seemed to have an awful lot of impact onthe reserve team last season.

i wonder how hard it was for clive allen to let fraser-allen go. it is some relatvie of hs isnt it?

For what exactly ??
He was fcuking useless.

BOLT

According to reports, Spurs are looking at Richard Dunne (God knows why) and Villa are looking at Huddlestone as replacement for Barry

Thoughts?

WhiteWashMan

both teams will be disappointed

SuprSi

If Dunne weren't so error prone he'd be class. I don't think he's what we need. Hudd could work very well at Villa, spraying the ball around the Gabby and Ashley. They've got quite a nimble midfield so sticking someone slower like Thudd would probably work.

therecklessone

Dunne is past his prime.

Hudd is too slow.

Neither should be at Spurs.

WhiteWashMan

Ive put in a request to have Inesta trandfered from barca.
I am waiting for Danny levy to get back to me

yiddo

Dunne could do a job for us alright. As for the Hudd he needs a midfield built round him to play to his undoubted abilities. This won't happen at Spurs and probably not at any EPL club.

tippspur

did any of ye see Dunne tonight against Bulgaria,great performance from him,of course i would love to see him with Spurs.

We've never met, and I know you 'control' this section, but I think that is bollocks!

Mullo76

not sure about that either ronan, think dunne is well underrated. he does the simple things great. we need back up for woody and ledley. he'd kick his granny to get to the ball, like that about him. he was great against bulgaria but i think he does that regularly.

RUUD TO SPURS
Sometimes our exciting transfer blog picks up on a hint of a rumour from assorted nefarious sources, and a newspaper the next day grabs it and runs with it like a thoroughbred racing horse.

Speaking of which, The Daily Mail this morning fleshes out a whisper we heard yesterday that Tottenham Hotspur are chasing Ruud van Nistelrooy from Real Madrid.

With Real keen to clear their squad out to make room for less equine players, Ruud is likely to be on his way this summer, and the Mail claims Spurs are 'edging closer to a cut-price deal'.

How cut price? Why, £1.25million, apparently, which even though the big man is cracking on a bit now, sounds like a bloody bargain to us.

The paper reports: 'Despite concerns over his age and fitness, boss Harry Redknapp appears to have persuaded chairman Daniel Levy to back him in his move for the former Manchester United striker, who will command wages in the £70,000-a-week bracket, putting him among the top earners at Spurs.'

They also reckon that Fulham are interested, while 'Arry wants Roque Santa Cruz, casting more doubt on the futures of Darren Bent and Roman Pavlyuchenko.

SuprSi

Potentially risky move. He's been crocked on and off for ages, and this particular off has been for a long time.

I like him too Ronan! He's no European libero but he's better than Corluka or Zokora as a CB

keane=cock

if he is and stays fit wuld be a great signin but that is a huge if. think he is finished to be honest

galinka

The weekly wage packet will be the kicker - probably get him for £2M.

If we could pay him for every winning appearence we might be on to something!

andy_s

His injury problems would concern me.

therecklessone

His goalscoring record is superb, at that price we'd be mad to turn him down.

ziedth

I agree,

Even at a high wage i'd prefer to see him sign then pay ott for a reject like Owen. I could see Ruud playing very well with Robbie or Defoe too.

Still it all depends can we keep him fit.

neilisagam

at the time of his last injury he was reals top scorer.I think he would be a steal at £1.25mill. Hes always going to get goals. One of the best box players ever.

neilisagam

what bout dawson? we've dawson and corluka as back-up. If were geten a new centre back i'd go for micah richards ahead of dunne. Only 20 with bags of potential and available

Antisocialiser

micah richards one of a few CB's that spring to mind who are actually more accident prone that dunne. :eek:

tippspur

I don't think Richards has built on his earlier promise,had a poor last season.

markopantelic

dunne was **** last seaosn because of richards. its like cannavaro for real, he's clearly deadly but he was kinda poor during his time in spain because of a lack of protection. manchester city could have had baresi and mcgrath at the back last season, with maldini there as a 12th man and they still would have been **** at the back, when given came in things drastically improved. top keeper, best in the english division.

dunne would be a terrific signing for tottenham hotspur

If it was all down to richards for dunne being **** why did mark hughes keep playing him. He had plenty of other options. The difference betwen dunne and richards is richards has pace thats why dunne has equaled the most red cards in premeirship history. Hes found out with his pace.

We don't need Dunne we have good cover with dawson and corluka but looking to the future i'd snap up richards. Do you remember Dunne when he was 20.....was his nickname not "the honeymonster"?Dunnes 29,how many years are you gona get out of him? 2/3 at best. Central defence is covered at the moment imo anyway

Kold

Wind up.

+1

Dunne won't come to us to be backup to Woody and King, he's shown patches of poor form this season just gone and I think that signals a downward tendency in his game.

He won't be an upgrade on any of our first choice CBs, and if we are buying in cover I'd rather we got someone with a few more useful years ahead of them.

Mate, you're welcome to your opinion (and this is our forum, not mine) but if you think Huddlestone is not slow you need to get to Specsavers!

i know real will be off loading a few players so it could be realistic

Very unlikely RVN will be at Real when C.Ronaldo arrives given their previous bust up.

Good signing for Spurs if it happens, could work well with a pacy striking partner.

It's been an ongoing rumour for a week or so.

bernardo mac

Hope it's true and the deal goes through.Ruud would be a great addition to the club's squad.Prefer the genuine article,the true professional anytime, to a self obsessed talent such as Ronaldo the brylcreamed rodent who deserted the Red ship, despite protestations to the contrary for months,for Franco's army.

Ruud,I believe,would find it difficult to abide the narcissistic,immature twat and maybe he feels it's time to move on,leave the club of flash for a team of more genuine character and which has strong local ties ,a club which is passionate about football and down-to-earth in it's approach

hahaha best comment ever to describe dunne

limerickyidd

You cannot be serious. Nisleroy is over the top by anyones standards. 32 years old and been warming the bench for Real Madrid since last November. Cisse, I won't even stoop to give my opinion of him, only to say 1 out of 10 for "artistic impression". Is this the best Harry can offer to bring back the Glory Days or will it be the same old story i.e. frazer Campbell gone!! Pav gone!! Bent gone!! Bentley gone!! and all Summer the same old story; can't sign X, can't sign Y, can't sign Z a big clear out and season starts with the skeleton squad and frantically paying over the odds for 2nd rate players before the transfer window closes. I hate to say it, but I still see Harry signing his 'ol Portsmouth coherts Crouch & Co. Time will tell, but time is running out Harry and so are my patients.

You'll find injured players don't get to play many games when they are on a 6-9 month recovery from surgery...

Fúck me, there's impatient and then there's ridiculous.

The season starts in 2 months time, and we haven't even started our pre-season. Calm down...

Gamesnash.ie: Pat

Ah lay off him - he's a doctor losing customers

neilisagam

he hasnt even been on the bench mate......

his goal to games racio speaks for itself and i would love to see him in a spurs jersey next season. He is just waht we need. A striker who get a goal for us every 2nd game. Hes quality.

Meathfan

Not 100 % sure. Who would go ?

Spider_Baby!

I like Richard Dunne, a lto in fact. I'm ecstatic at the moment with King and Woodgate.

As much as I like Dunne, I wouldn't like to see him waste his time in a Spurs shirt. I'd prefer if he went to Villa or something, where he'd probably get more regular football than in WHL - I don't care where, as long as he has a good season and we get to the World Cup!!

Just saw this link. I'd love to see Young on the left and Lennon on the right. Jesus defences would just sh1t themselves ..and they could overlap...

glanman

Not a hope, in reality why would he go to ye? He will stay with Villa see where that takes him for a year and then decide his future. Why move backwards??

limerickyidd

Ashley Young would be a great buy. Fingers Xsed that Arry pulls it off.

I dont want to get into a Villa V Spurs debate but do you really think going to Spurs for next season would be backwards? In fairness Villa far outshot their station last season and secondly dont forget that Villas best season in donkeys years was only 2 places ahead of us.....In Spurs worst start to a season in half a century. Villa wont get near Spurs next season ..not a chance;)

Nice one Ed!! You said it all in a nut shell. One decent season in yonks, did Villa really think they were top 4 material, not a hope. Look at the way they fell apart there last 9 or 10 games. Delusions of grandure I think!!!!

hotspur147

any transfer is possible,if the moneys right.
he's a good player who did well last season but like the rest of villas squad his form faded badly near the end.i'd prefer modric on the left and we spend our money on an attacking central mid-fielder

therecklessone

limerickyidd wrote: »

We should know, we are the masters of that...

Young will not be moving to Spurs, he is getting regular football in a top 6 side, he's in with a shout of an England place, and he's playing for a manager who rates him (and vice versa)

He won't get more money at Spurs, he won't get European football at Spurs (this season) and he won't get any closer to the CL at Spurs.

Moving to us wouldn't be a backwards step, but it would be sideways.

I just hope that Huddlestone doesn't move on and become the player, that I am sure he will, elsewhere.....
