Although he isn't the most cultured, his strengths usually before this season were his robustness, doing the basics well, and his ability to make vital challenges both on the ground as well being commanding in the air. Now I don't believe those abilities have completely gone to shit in 4 months. I think just like the rest of the team and especially the defence he's lacking confidence in himself, as well as his inexperienced new partner Kaboul.<BR/><BR/>Kaboul - Obviously not the best of starts to his prem career but thrown in at the deepend and talked up far too early pre-season easy games before reality of the hard hussle and bustle of the prem hit. Has a lot to learn, but cannot write him off after 4 or 5 months. Needs to be nurtured and brought on more often from the bench and calmed by an experienced head when on it. Zokora alongside him shockingly brought the best out of him so far.<BR/><BR/>Ledders - Its clear his ability to be fit on a regular basis is in question, but when he is fit is one of the best.<BR/><BR/>Solution;<BR/>Not 3 new central defenders needed. What we do need is 1 top class central defensive addition - no nonsense with the ability to lead/orchestrate the defence as well as command respect NOW.<BR/><BR/>Whether this be a short term fix till the end of the season or a longer term addition I dont know. <BR/><BR/>There are pros n cons of both;<BR/><BR/>If we take a short-term player - could be someone like Jonathan Woodgate, provided he passes vigorous medical examinations. Someone like him has good prem experience, has decent defensive leadership skills and as we've seen before, usually makes an immediate impact at his clus as we saw at Middlesborough last seasn. <BR/><BR/>If we take a long term fix - has to be world class, which would mean him probably coming from La Liga or Serie A. The problem with this would be, as we've seen before foreign players need time to settle and at the same time our current players need time to gel with the new player also.<BR/><BR/>In this category, since admitedley I watch less and less of foreign football these days, due to the best players already playing in the prem bar a few, I don't know much about the likes of Jarques or Stendardo that we have been linked to.<BR/><BR/>Could Harry or anyone else be so kind as too dig up some info on these guys?<BR/><BR/>Additional solution needed;<BR/><BR/>A left-back who can do his primary job of defending well before or as well as offering attacking abilities. <BR/><BR/>Its beyond me why we keep bringing jacks of all and masters of none - look at what that has done for our midfield. Yeah versatility is welcome by all means, but please! please if you're a defender be able to defend for fuck sake!...yeah you guessed it, I'm talking about Lee. Besides, I can see Bale being the solution to our left midfield problems along with O'Hara and Steed gives us plenty there for now. So would love to see a competent left-back behind them who does not inspire the opposition to exploit our left side of defence as an obvious weakness.<BR/><BR/>Just hear there has been an offer for Hutton and contrary to what the Villa mug said he hasn't refused but is "considering". Does this mean Chimbonda's off?...again Harry/anyone anymore info?<BR/><BR/>Whats changed?<BR/>Pre-Season we all thought we could do with central defensive cover, someone like Curtis Davies which didn't happen. Now we realise we need a prominent "Prem ready now" top class reliable defender. with any of Dawson, Ledders and Kaboul to play alongside him. In essence very much like we need a quartet of 4 top strikers, we actually need 4 top defenders at the other end to balance out our strengths too. <BR/><BR/>Maybe when we reach champions league football, who knows we may be looking for an addition - a world class defender. It's all about apropriate and proportional progression innit.<BR/><BR/>In the meanwhile, we just need a central defensive superman to help out the other 3 main lads.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally anyone remember 2 seasons back when with Dawson, Ledders we actually look pretty solid and instead were all complaining instead that we needed more in the striker department to compliment JD and Keano. <BR/><BR/>Times have changed but don't mean Daws and Ledders have changed to crap players overnight!...don't believe that, <BR/><BR/>For form is temporary but quality is permanent...enough from me...BIOYC/COYS!<BR/><BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>But 1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-85318149920818226202008-01-04T00:15:00.000+01:002008-01-04T00:15:00.000+01:00JGM, you are so stuck on this name thing that you ...JGM, you are so stuck on this name thing that you have totally missed my entire point.

There is no way Spurs are going to win any competition or beat a Top 4 squad without replacing our 3 current central defenders.<BR/><BR/>I love Kaboul, but he is better suited for fullback. He has no ability to head the ball whatsoever. The timing of his jumps, his vertical lift and his strength and direction of his headers are all terrible. On the rare occasion he does win a ball in the air, it's usually a weak header into the path of an opponent. <BR/><BR/>It is a full year plus now with Dawson making critical marking mistakes in EVERY single game that leads to at least 1 goal against. Also, the 2nd goal, if you switch Dawson & Terry, I bet Terry clears it. Just because the ball isn't going to the man your marking, doesn't mean you can't jump & clear it! <BR/><BR/>HH, I debated with you all Summer how King's return in late Dec was going to propel us to the top of the table and cup success. After watching his first couple of games back, I'm afraid you were right all along. The meniscus surgery shouldn't have affected his leaping ability, but he's looking slower and is not getting off the ground at all now.<BR/><BR/>BTW HH, how can you rate Kaboul lower than Dawson, when Kaboul did a much better job defending his marks and made no errors that led to goals?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-1320823289033661792008-01-03T23:23:00.000+01:002008-01-03T23:23:00.000+01:00"worldwide market potential sonny jim."I'm sure th..."worldwide market potential sonny jim."<BR/><BR/>I'm sure the world is facinated that you have won the league twice in 125 years and never won the premier european competition.

It looks like you might need to go overseas again, but not for a young prospect, you need to pay the price for someone a bit more experienced. As for midfielders you have them coming out of your ears and its just a matter of getting the system right, perhaps Ramos will consider playing a holding midfielder?<BR/><BR/>Althought it is lovely to watch at times, I think you Spurs might need to curb your attacking instincts a bit.
