Top 4 thread: Tottenham 2010/11

If you look at the wages table and which clubs regulary do we'll in the EPL (or anyother for that matter) it's clear that the ones that pay high wages do well, and some very well. Depressing but true. This is why Bale is considering his options at the moment, and the benifit of learning a new language.....If he came to Arsenal, we'd teach him French, just let him know from us....;)

Well, we needed a squad. And that squad appreciated in value shed loads and got us into the CL - seems like a deal to me. Tottenham obviously can't afford a business model where you wave goodbye to £130 mill a year in (non-appreciating) wages. That's what regular CL revenue allows.

Right, so I'm supporting Man U next season - because I like red, and Park has nice hair.

But were I still a Spurs fan, this is what I'd be looking for from Levy in the Summer:

First choice (Back up)

GK - Gomes (Cudicini/Pletikosa)

RB - Walker (Corluka/Hutton)
LB - BAE (Rose)

CB - Dawson (New Player)
CB - Kaboul (Bassong)

RW - New Player (Lennon)
LW - Bale (New Player)

CM - Modric (Huddlestone)
CM - Sandro (New Player)

ST - Van der Vaart (Pav)
ST - New Player (Defoe)


And that's assuming no one key's sold...

LOL! Does this person ^^^ know anything about football? :confused:
 
It's moderately interesting to see Walker and Rose emerge as Prem-standard fullbacks - whether either will become top 4 . . . .

God only knows what to do about central defenders - sorry Ledley but even when you recover from a knee injury you'll always be short of match fitness and that just invites tendon and muscle injuries . . . No idea what to think of Woodgate. Kaboul is a possible, Dawson's fine for the bench.

As for strikers, I have no love for Defoe or Pav, just never have. I'd off them both - with Robbie Keane in a 3-man job lot.

No problems in midfield, though I also have no love for THudd.
 
Seasons 2003/06 - Levy cleaned almost the whole lot out, backroom staff as well. And then cleared out most of what he bought.

Over 40 players out, almost 50 in during that period. Cost around £40 mill net. But that's ok because we later made £21 mill on Berbatov and still have Lennon (£1 mill) and THudd (£2.5 mill) from that period. Jenas and Dawson are still around as well.

Ledley is the only player at Tottenham now who predates the greal cull.

Not sure how you work that one out really?

Nah, you just need a new keeper. He's royally fucked you this year.

He saves three that he should never have got near for every one he gets laughed at for by pricks like Hansen. He's a great keeper - but he's very much a confidence player. Put a solid and consistent back four in front of him and the same people who laugh at him will be talking about his 'remarkable improvement' and 'amazing turnaround'.

Fuck off you creepy little boy. You're not bright enough to play on here.

I suppose I kind of agree; to be fair to Gomes, give him top-4 quality fullbacks and an experienced defensive midfielder and he'd have less to worry about. Sandro might be the midfielder, Palacious could be if he rediscovered his former consistency . . . whether Rose and/or Walker are the fullbacks . . .
 
Its been said that Gomes is a confidence player and needs a decent back four in front of him which is true to an extent but just think of what his blunders do for the confidence that back four have in him and how it affects their play?

I'd be a back of nerves if my keeper kept making such basic errors regardless of the fine save he also makes.

Time for him to go.

Sandro putting in another MoM performance so far. We've unearthed a real gem there.

I like him, although his role and style make him vulnerable to cards, like we saw with the tackle on Carroll. He's gotta be a bit more careful in the second half.
 
Yep. Will always be the way with a proper DM though.

He's not going to get much of a break this Summer, so I hope he's not burnt out at the start of next season.

Although if Wilson can find his legs and fitness again, we'll have options there. Sarge is only 26 himself.
 
Very impressed with Danny Rose. He was utterly uninspiring as a winger (apart from that goal of course), but looks very decent at LB.
 
Well played Spurs, you had that solid spine through the centre, won the midfield and looked pretty solid in defence, so overall deserved win. Bit of a non-penalty - webb :facepalm::mad: - but the VdV goal was superb. Ah well, onwards and upwards.
