Not that we'd have trouble attracting top talent who were already at top clubs. Bale & Berbatov both chose us over manure whilst we were 5th placed finalists. Chimbonda, Keane, Defoe etc are pretty much top talent. I can't myself see why it matters where they came from. Maybe I don't get what you meant but then I've never been that bright.<BR/><BR/>I still think "we're fucked" & "Ledley will do us more harm than good" are pretty wild statements. Not that that's a crime or anything. <BR/><BR/>Yids together<BR/>Yids forever<BR/><BR/>el.ELhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264932149781351329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-19084556933702729002007-09-07T20:40:00.000+02:002007-09-07T20:40:00.000+02:00el,what the hell? keane came from leeds whilst the...el,<BR/>what the hell? <BR/>keane came from leeds whilst they were sinking fast. bale and defoe came from championship teams. chimbonda came from fucking wigan. lennon came from leeds and was a huge surprise (it wasn't like there was a bunch of clubs trying to sign him).<BR/>the reason we were "attractive" to those players was because they were coming from shitty situations.<BR/>the only one you can legitimately use in that argument, my dear el, is berbatov. and even then, we were looking like a safe bet to crack the top 4 the next season. <BR/>with the warmest regards,<BR/>shanemac<BR/>p.s. good rebuttal. no, seriously... well done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-89328832531018323282007-09-06T10:23:00.000+02:002007-09-06T10:23:00.000+02:00Re:Dannyboy.Just how close to a cock have you had ...Re:Dannyboy.<BR/><BR/>Just how close to a cock have you had your ear exactly? I thought Grazza made some very valid points.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Re:Shanemac.<BR/><BR/>We're loaded and we bought the highly impressive Kaboul as cover so it would seem we can indeed afford to wait for Ledley to get fit.<BR/><BR/>We attracted the likes of Berbatov (and kept him), Bent, Keane, Defoe, Lennon, Chimbonda and Bale, to name a few, whilst in 5th place or lower. So it appears we can finish in that sort of position and still expect top talent to look to join us.<BR/><BR/>"we're fucked"???<BR/><BR/>"then he's[Ledley] doing more harm than good"???<BR/><BR/>Shanemac, if you don't like the idea of surgical or pharmaceutical help, try meditating.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes<BR/><BR/>el.ELhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264932149781351329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-70568987019145355302007-09-06T09:55:00.000+02:002007-09-06T09:55:00.000+02:00GRAZZA:Thats charming Dannyboy!

Say we sacked Jol tomorrow, new guy comes in gets us to fourth (big if) GREAT. He then gets knocked out in the prelim round a la Everton. Will they call for his head? So, he gets replaced, we get to the group stage this time, GREAT. But get knocked out, sack him too? and keep sacking every other fucker that doesnt make Mid Table personified Tottenham Hotspur into invincible Football Gods??? (and there are no managers left!!!) <BR/><BR/>Sometimes you dont know what you have got until its gone and ive got a feeling this rule applies to us....<BR/><BR/>I cant believe the shite spouted about the £40 million we have spent - that money is spent to KEEP PACE with the top 4 more than to overtake it in my eyes - i think people actually think that the football workd has stood still while we have been spending!? Look at Man U and Liverpools Spending, not to mention Chelsea and Le Arse.<BR/><BR/>I think its about time people stopped sniping at whoevers in charge or on the pitch and actually support their team.<BR/><BR/>Where would this club be if Hoddle was still in charge?

Memberships where sold out by now last season and this time around they're not. I wouldn't be suprised if we start to see empty seats at home games soon. They have to keep the front up intill they can lure in a big name manager for fear of a backlash. It's like Gladiator. The mob must be placated.

It's getting very frustrating listening to fans dumping on the best player we have had in ages. <BR/><BR/>Wake up call people - theres not a player in the world close to Ledley's level that is going to give 1/2 a thought to playing for Spurs, I dont care how much money is thrown at them. A proven CM is going to demand Champions League. Otherwise, we'll have to keep gambling on young studs like Kaboul, and suffer through a few seasons while they grow their games.<BR/><BR/>Also, there's not a quality defender anywhere that will be available during the midseason transfer window, so if you really want to see us have any success in the Cup competitions or getting into the Top 7 in the EPL, you better start praying hard that Ledley is fit by the holidays!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-16870201497303731492007-09-05T05:21:00.000+02:002007-09-05T05:21:00.000+02:00can i just ask what we're hoping for from jenas? i...can i just ask what we're hoping for from jenas? i just don't see anything other than a few well struck shots every other game. as far as a real midfielder i haven't seen anything since his forest days. leave him off for one game at least! let him earn his spot like everyone else. enough of this bloody coddling. say what you want about zokora and tainio at least you know what you're going to get from them every game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-13178017045125734212007-09-05T02:53:00.000+02:002007-09-05T02:53:00.000+02:00thanks for that harry agree with the taraabt inclu...thanks for that harry agree with the taraabt inclusion too we have got stop playin it safe sittin back, finally we will have geniune balance in the midfield at last bale left, lennon right, chims & lee available for the overlap cant wait!! its not all doom n gloom now is it!!
