SPURS TeamTalk Gossip/Rumours Thread 10/11

Shammy

Spurs have confirmed the signing of W.Gallas on a 1 year deal .

He seems to cause trouble where ever he goes , i can see himself and assou-ekotto and a good go off each other . Is this where our team spirit falls apart ?

Our Team spirit has survived Darren Bent's twitter account, Tarrabt and Chimbonda's delusions of grandeur, Berbatovs vaulting ambition and Robbie Keanes indecisiveness. I think we can handle William Gallas.

Darren Bent never said anything against the Tottenham team, I can't see why what he said would have had any effect on team spirit?

I consider Levy part of the team in the greater sense, and with what he's done for the club I'm sure the players respect him more than Bent.

Sure BAE said he couldn't care if he was Darth Vader as long as he plays well and improves the team I'm sure we'll be ok

I've been really dissapointed with Palacios' passing recently he keeps putting us under pressure with his poor judgement and passing across our box if we do sign Diarra he could be a huge huge step up which is dissapointing Palacios post his brothers tragic death just doesn't seem the same anymore he doesn't seem to be able to keep his concentration anymore

Spurs fans are obviously happy to rejoin the soccer forum.

Football you see is a sing when your winning thing, and with that spurs fans have hidden away on the spurs forum hating us here talking about CL football and winning ****.

But now they a CL team they want everyone to know about it.


Finally 3 ****ing years later i was proved right, recklessone its all your fault

Is it just me or does anyone else think Spurs have a massive problem at right back? It's something that big teams continually exploit in us, particularly Vedran Ćorluka.

To me, he always seems slow and indecisive. Yes he likes to go forward, but his positioning is terrible, he's lazy and a bad passer of the ball with no imagination. He's straight forward in most of his decisions and I think it's a huge weakness in spurs' team.

I prefer to see Kaboul playing there, but that's only for lack of a better choice.

Please harry; get us a decent right back!!

everdead.ie

Rumours we could break our wage structure to get Fabiano in on 100,000 a week.
Would be a huge jump considering we have repeatedly refused to break our wage structure.

Maybe with champions league qualifaction we can afford to pay these wages. With the two shirt deals and money from champions league games this may be seen by the board as a good investment.

Mr. Guappa

The transfer gossip on SSN reckons we have revived our interest in Ashley Young. Its a possibility now with them out of Europe and no manager in place. If we got him I presume Bale would move to LB, with Young LW in a 4-5-1 with Modric in the hole. Huntelaar has also been linked, initially on loan with option to buy for £12 million.

Yea Corluka hasn't looked himself this season. He was injured towards the end of last season and doesn't seem to have got his form back.

Kaboul did well there when he played IIRC. We also have Klye Walker (played very well in preseason) and Alan Hutton who was on load at Sunderland last season and was their regular right back if I'm not mistaken.

Not in too bad shape, but it is one of our weaker positions.

Don't think the Fabiano deal will go through , but love if it did, for a reasonable sum. Hes 30ish and in his last year of contact & not getting CL football this season with Seville, we shouldn't have to pay over the odds for him IMO.

Really thinking of getting Sandro on my Jersey but I haven't seen him play yet it's been all hype

When you look at it on paper that is a really strong squad, not a whole lot of dead wood in there.

You better hope so or ye are gonna get some bad results the game after CL fixtures.

Van der vart has the potential to be the signing of the summer in my opinion, he could be massive for them in doing well in the champions league.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe set to be out for six to eight weeks with ankle ligament damage - report

9 Oct 2010 00:00:00

Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe will miss the first half of his club’s Champions League group games after suffering ankle ligament damage on international duty with England, according to The Mirror.

Defoe was stretchered off in the 3-1 win over Switzerland on Tuesday night after hitting a hat-trick against Bulgaria last Friday.

The news comes as a blow to Spurs boss Harry Redknapp, with Defoe due to miss both games against Champions League holders Inter Milan, as well as next week’s trip to Werder Bremen.

Bad news he was starting to look sharp again from Goal.com so hopefully they're wrong

Nope its in all the papers as well as on the news , him and Daws are going to be a big loss.

everdead.ie

I'd say we can look forward to having two of our new signings on the bench with VDV and Stipe Pletikosa most likely to be there with Sandro having an outside chance I can also see us playing a 4-3-3 or 4-4-1-1 with Defoe out injured and I expect something similar against Bremen midweek.
Thankfully both there normal cb's are currently out injured hopefully it means we are going to have a great chance at 3 points away from Home

Defoe out for three months after seeing a specialist he underwent surgery.

A noticible abscence Of Gareth Bale so I think him and Sandro must be classed as under 21's right?
Anyone know for sure I can't find anything on the squad rules except that 8 must be association trained for 3 years between 15 and 21


this is our squad on the Uefa site

Harry loves stirring it

Goals from last night delighted for King most of all giving everything for us all these years and finally gets his chance on the biggest stage.

was watching the match on setanta, didn't appreciate the commentator blaming King for the goal conceeded. It was clearly BAE not pushing out quick enough keeping him on-side

Any idea if keane will start any matches any time soon ?

He played on wednesday and they where trying him out as the front man so it depends really how well he played he scored a peno(which he created).

Which actually is intresting do you get an assist and a goal if you win a peno and then convert it?

racso1975

did VDV pick up an injury the other night he came off very early?

Ya a calf strain doubtful for the weekend

I wasn't sure about VDV but in his first two matches he's looked very good despite not looking match fit. I'm delighted with him hopefully he'll recover from his calf strain for the weekend.

How'd I miss this? So, hangover or no hangover?

Defo Hangover I'd say hopefully not but Wolves can be incredibly difficult to break down and it's something we have struggled with when teams come and put ten behind the Ball and then we get caught on the counter
I' like to see

Cudicini
Kaboul--Gallas--Bassong--BAE
Bently--Huddlestone--Modric-Bale

VDV

Crouch

Then put out a completly different team in carling cup midweek

It'll be interesting to ye how ye juggle the group stages and league. Personally, I'm not overly certain that yer squad is big/experienced enough, but there's plenty of quality there.

The squad is definetly big enough to be honest I wouldnt mind getting knocked out of the carling cup early if it helps us.

We'll see. There may be a few more experienced heads in there, but I'm not so sure it's any bigger than when ye were in the Europa League and ye didn't fair too well in the league when involved in that. I could be wrong though as I haven't checked it out properly.

Kimsang

Wouldn't mind getting knocked out of the carling cup either... but not to Arsenal :P. Let's win that game then throw the next :rolleyes:

Mr. Guappa

I don't see the benefit of getting knocked out of the Carling Cup. The Arsenal game should be used to give the likes of Pletikosa, Hutton, Naughton, Bassong, Bentley, Kranjcar, Giovani, Keane and Pavlyuchenko some game time. Our squad is plenty big enough to handle a few fixtures in this competition. It doesn't really become an issue until the semi-final stage, when Wembley is in sight and more first-teamers are likely to be used.

racso1975

So with van der vart out for the weekend do ya fancy robbie to start or do ya think he'll go with pav and crouch? He'd a good game mid week so he might rest crouch.

everdead.ie

Harry says Sandro and Pletikosa are both due to make there debut's against Arsenal on tuesday and Sandro has been very impressive in training so far

We have a good squad and one that has every chance of getting to a cup final. We could field a team like this and would still be pretty good.
