I think he has potential but his comments means he is on his way out. One we may regret

After his supposed comments about refusing to go to Sunderland, good riddance I say. The guy has an ego the size of a small planet - his leaving gift should be a video of some of his howlers. He makes Pascal seem like a perfectly nice chap.

I say we could still do a lot worse than play him as a DM? Still, I know nothing. I presume the £23 mill means he's worth about £8m according to the figures being bandied about from up north...

You guys read about the Sunderland bid?

If so, im not so happy to lett steed go. He as a winger is a good thing. He is a very strong player, and hes dribling is decent. BUT the lad dont know how to shoot. The last matches this season he looked very sharp!

BUT if we let this lad go i hope we do sign both capel and Bentley.

FOr me it looks like we dont going to sign a awesome DM. We surly need one....

And if both berba and keane leaves, i really hope Ramos knows two new strikers. Im must say im a bit worried over the loss of those two..

What do you guys think?

He's practically the same as Dawson in defensive duties and far better with the ball and passing and also has a somewhat decent shot that can be worked on. He's also miles better than Rocha and Gardner. So why is he the first to go?
Any why the HELL are we selling Malbranque to Sunderland and keeping Jenas when Malbranque is a much better player technically and much more intelligent and works just as hard? That's one I'm very unhappy with. If he's selling Steem for something like 7-8m and replacing him by someone like Capel, OK then but I still don't figure why we prefer to keep a crappy over-rated player like Jenas who's only good against Derby and Arsenal reserves - maybe, he's being reserved for the Stoke and Hull games next year, with Modric then having a rest...

I'm happy to see the back of Kaboul- £6m?! Bite thier hands off. He's worse than desperate; I nearly shit myself when he came on in the cup final.

He's worth £7m, Harry's had enough touches off us lately, £7m for defoe is a joke.
Whatever happens were screwed, if we let Keano and berbs go then everything weve done over the last few years will vanish, Dos santos will not handle a full season in the premer league playing week in week out, he's a puppy a very good one but a puppy.
the whole team will have changed from last season, we'll be lucky to finish top 10, not having a go just being honest, pompeys squad and first 11 will be stronger than ours if we lose our 2 crown jewels, and lose them to the very teams were trying to catch then our board really can't expect Ramos to work miracles, dont get excited lads, we aren't gonna challenge the top 4, maybe the gypos but the other 3 are way to strong.
rAMOS LOOKS LIKE HE'S SHAPING THE SQUAD TO PLAY
4---2----3-----1 BASICLY 2 HOLDING MIDFEILDERS, WIDTH COMING FROM FULLBACKS, HOLDING MIDFEILDER STEPPING INTO THE ATTACKING FULLBACKS POSITION WHEN NEEDED, HE SHOULD PLAY KABOUL AS A HOLDING MIDFEILDER, THATS WHERE HE PLAYS FOR FRANCE.

Jesus mate, it took me a while to string together your poor sentences in to something understandable. You must be a Liverpool fan

stokey yid,

You've been at the yucatan too long mate. You're forgetting a number of key points here.

1. Pompey are managed by redknapp, thus anything above 7th place is unachievable
2. Pompey's great signings are cast offs from other teams - how can they be stronger than spurs if their signings couldn't make our first team?
3. keane and berbs will leave for a vast amount of cash - this can be reinvested.
4. our midfield has become infinitely stronger with the capture of modric and dos santos.
5. Villa, everton, city, west ham have all failed to strenghten their teams thus far - are we to expect much improvement form them?

Chaps. Most of these things will not happen. Unless we are getting rid of about 20 players and buying 50.

I suspect if Bob and Berba are going then Juande would have already planned for it and what we are seeing now is a bit of Horse trading.

We all need to calm down, relax and see whose at the lane when the dust has settled before we accuse Juande & Dan of a lack of ambition.

That was off the back of a comment recently made by the Blackburn chairman. Negotiations are on-going

Help I keep waking up from a nightmare

Portsmouth 1 Spurs 0 (Defoe) Liverpool 1 Spurs 0 (Keane) ManU 1 Spurs 0 (Bertatov)
Sunderland 1 Spurs 0 (Bent)

Spurs 10th ( Chelsea,ManU,Liverpool) buy Bale Modric, Dos Santo's

Can someone tell me that this is not going to happen. Worried of North London

So Harry what happened to the seeing Bentley having a medical!!!!!!! We seem to be further away from signing him than ever.
I don't know why we bother to ever consider becoming a top 4 side when we end up selling our best players. Last season we scored over 100 goals. We do not need to sell any strikers and we have Pekhart coming through the ranks. They are on long term contracts, so make them stick to it. We have strengthened midfield and Modric will be a star. Lets sell some of the dross and we all know who they are to get our wingers and a holding midfielder and a good centre half and lets do it sooner rather than later even if it costs a bit more and get them integrated in the preseason Ramos set up so that we can start against Middlesborough with all guns blazing instead of the whimper we started last season COYS

The medical took place of course and it is still my belief that the transfer will take place. There's usually less to these things than meets the eye. This is an exception. I would call for calm on Bentley. With so many things to be factored in it would've been a miracle to see him holding up the shirt last week. By so many things I refer to their current goalie, our ex, Ar5ena1's 20% and that prat Ince of course. Stubborn little fucker, which is why he was so good at fighting on the terraces before his 'footy' career took off.

See above. Very much ongoing. Half and more of this BID REJECTED hoo ha is Incey trying to drum up business.

Let him.

Sorry about the grammer chaps, was on my moblie.
Pompey's may have cast offs, but they are bloody good cast offs.
JD has scored in nearly every games he's played for pompey, Crouch is slow but a decent enough player, Diara, Kranjar, and Mumba,(spelling,lol) is also decent, plus Harry's tapping up that mini me gooner at chelscum.SWP,
Everton, villa dont really need to improve, there stability will see them in top 7.

Don't think for a minute just because were Tottenham hotspur that we will finish top 6, there seems no one to tie all our players together and that is with Berbs and Robbie still with us.
Robbie was the one last season that stood up and bollocked the lads when they needed it, when he goes, we are without doubt FCUKED.
Ramos has been told by the board to say were a plc and we have to balance the books, he may even understand it, but what it says to me is that were having to sell the crown jewels for £45m and your only getting half that to replace them.
I truely hope that i am wrong but i just can't see it for the life of me, whats the point in signing a new midfield without the 2 top boys where it matters in the premer league.
Teams will over run us with agressive play, they will sit and smash our small midfield to shit.

it's a comment designed to make Blackburn think we have no cash for bentley and that they should accept our offer or face having disgruntled bentley sitting on bench next year.

in addition, it comes in light of an offer from man united on berbatov. presumably this is a good offer and worth it in levy/ramos' eyes, therefore they're softening us fans in advance.

ramos came to the club under strong promises from the board. if the club suddenly pull the rug from under him he would be sorely p*ssed off, however, as it is, he seems rather content with everything.

wait until the beginning of the season to see what shape we're in.

absolutely no need to panick just yet.

Stokey Stokey Stokey, calm down dear!
Please remember old boy that we now have a back four as strong as 'no more nails', our midfield is undeniably improved and even if we lose our 'crown jewels' we've still got Benty and Pekhart. Add one world class striker a DM and to be perfectly honest no matter what JR has come out and said today - we will be challenging.....Honestly - we Yids don't arf know how to get our knickers in a twist in the silly season.
Harry, I have no bad feelings towards Younes and wish him luck where ever he ends up - I just hope for his sake his new manager realises he's not a defender!

I think our position on the bentley transfer could have been significantly improved by this one. Friedel wants to go and we don't need Robbo. CASH & ROBBO FOR BENTLEY anyone???

Stokey,

An English degree you may never earn, but you I award you a 2:1 in Common Sense from the University of Life.

This is my primary concern, that other teams are quietly building away and eating on the march we stole on them two and three seasons ago. We're not the shoe in for fifth anymore, and to deride Arthur Daley Redknapp for assembling an army of cast offs is extremely short sighted. He gets performances out of his rabble, and you can't fault him as a manager. I had my fingers crossed for him on the England vacancy, if we're fessing up.

I'm as nervous as the rest of you, but I am confident Berbatov and Keane aren't both leaving in the same close season. To the "we're just in it to make money" folk, whilst that's partially true, you don't need to go much further than Biz 101 to know that you don't spunk all your assets at once, and then predictably downturn, and expect to be attractive to investors/players this time next year.

GotThem,

Our defence is injury prone, and our midfield is fairly lightweight and with 50-75% of them set to adjust to the PL for the first time.

Villa fan in peace!

I think the comments about your midfield been lightweight and been bullied are gonna be true. I can't see either of your new signings to good enough initially to be relied upon. And if you do loose your front two (Which I hope you don't!) I don't see how you will do anything but struggle. The fact you score a fair few is the no1 reason you've done well the last few years etc!

Also on the Bentley front Villa's bid was £15m so if its £17m they want I would have thought we will re-bid £18-20m for Bentley & Friedel.

He'll be our unless he's more interested in partying & shopping in London than playing football - in which case you can have him.

Me for one would rather see Berb sold for £4.50 down Brick Lane than sold to those bloody monkeys up north. As for Bentley im not convinced that he is a superstar (although if he does sign I'll tell everyone he is). But as for the cheese eating, garlic stinking war dodger Kaboul he can FUCK RIGHT OFF. Nobody but nobody slates general Ramos. He says he needs an arm round his shoulder.... what he needs is a kick up the arse. the bloke is a wanker. UP THE FUCKING SPURS!!!!

P.S. Probably wouldnt let anyone under 10 read this. So if you are, "do your bleeding homework"

Nunchucks,
Your correct about the English degree, lol and I will gladly accept your 2:1 thx.
Rednapp for all his wheeling and dealing relised something years ago, in todays premier league there is no need to build for the future.
Club's only have to stay in the league to gain the financial wealth to last them until next season and then they start over again as best they can.
What's getting me is Levy and the board having a go at MJ last year for saying excactly what Ramos said yesterday, now i know he's trying to take the heat off us as a club and our players, but why sell Keane to liverpool, it just doesn't make sense to me.
I can understand Berbs wanting to go as he has always said he'd give it 2 season's which is fair enough.
But to strenghten liverpool as well is beyond reason, unless we swapped him for Kuyt plus £10m I just give up.
Even if we sign younger players like Huntlear( Arshavin is nearly 2there not the finished article, were now saying to the Modric's of this world that we can't keep our players, so in turn why join us, other clubs pay better.
Mcmuffin,
Blackburn and especialy Ince are no mugs, they have a player that want's out.
They have no asperation's to win the league or get close to CL places like we do, they have 2 clubs who want Bently, all they have to do is SIT until we cough up the silly money, they know we have money and Ince probably doesn't care if Bently feel's hard done by, Ince is that arrogant he'd keep an unhappy player because they don't spend much so are not desperate for the money.

Hope you are right, but if you want any evidence of a manager saying one thing and doing another, look no further than the quote on the right from Glenn Hoddle regarding Robbie Keane

Madladdy,
To be fair to you mate, Bently is coming our way, whatever you bid.
He comes from Chesunt, and has been spotted by every bugger in and around Loughton/Buckhurst hill, probably eyeing up all the orange birds we got down here.
Really hope you hang on to Barry just to show fatboybenetiz that he can't operate the way he has been, Fcuk the goatie wearing
