The rumor mill is at it again.. This time the media are claiming that Sunderland Manager Roy Keane is making a move for not one, not two, not three... But four Tottenham players!!! One of which is Younes Kaboul... Whose agent has claimed, that his client would not even join to the North east club if there was an earthquake! which has got to make you laugh! The other players at the centre of a reported £23m bid!!! Are the reliable Steed Malbranque, Teemu Tainio & Pascal Chimbonda.
What do you reckon Spurs fans would you be glad to see the back of these players... Are you happy with the fee, and who would you like to see come in to replace them???
Keep Teemu! This comment is sponsored entirely by my heart....
GotThemNotStir your heart... but not your head right? tell me more?
He's a YID! He supports the club and he's happy to be a squad player - not only that, his value is relatively low so why sell the lad? When called upon he will always do the job.
I like Steed to, I think he did one hell of a job for us last year and deserves more but I don't see him as a squad player, I think he'll want more.....and thats all I have to say about that....
True Tainio does support the club... But so do i? And i will give a 100% too, does that mean i can play? No!!! Cause I am not up to it, same as Teemu if we are honest... He's certainly not good enough to get in any of the top four squads.
As for Steed he is one of our better players granted, and he has been played out of position for ages... (I would prefer to see him in the middle) But if we get Capel & Bentley, that would give Gio & Lennon as well... so who knows whether Steed will survive the cull?
Is it me or are we having two conversations here??? I know what the popular opinion about Teemu is but TBH, he gives a good account of himself everytime he pulls on the shirt which is more than can be said of some of our "stars". What more can you ask of a squad player?
I would have loved to have seen Steed in the middle but having bought who we have, seriously, what are his chances?
To answer your first question Yes
As for Steed playing in the middle? It looks unlikely... But who knows what Juande thinks? I mean lets face it, who would have thought he would have handed Big Tom a 5 year deal?
Longlivetheking (by the way, I may be ever the delusional yid when I say this but I honestly believe that Ledders is the best CB in the PL) I have enjoyed our conflab but Mr kronenbourg has just told be I must sleep! I shall leave you with this oopion - while some will leave our club and leave us bitter, I KNOW Mr Ramos will do us proud and talks of how difficult it will be to break the top 4 are merely a smoke screen. We are, in my blurred view, about to see a shift of power which will see us all in three months time discussing how long we can hold on to 2nd, 3rd place! And for the record (and I know one ought not start a sentence with "and") the Thud will be a different player next year - something which we will have to, with tail tucked securely between our legs, thank Mr Commoli for!!! Discuss.....
Too right Ledley is one the most underrated center backs in the league, he is undoubtedly a class act! Yes he has had a lot of injury problems in the last 2 seasons, but i think he is going to prove a lot of people wrong next season...
As for your foresight in to the future, i hope your right? But after last season, i hate predictions... we will just have to wait and see!
In Juande we trust...
LLTK - was going to bed but will hang on for another beer. After all there is a knob that needs crusifying over with Mr HH!
If Ledders does shake those injuries its worth an £18m sighing to us and as for predictions, we've not had the quality of Ramos since El Tel was in town. We will be there with the big boys in six weeks and onwards, I absolutely believe this!
In Juande we trust...amen brother!
Nice blog mate... I like the pics!
In my opinion Ledders will be back next season trust me, all those doubters will be eating humble pie!!!
GTNS good chatting all things Tottenham with you bruv! Fingers crossed Ledley is sweet as next season? Only time will tell...
My namesake says what i think of the player and the man, long may he continue to Captain and be proud of playing for the club... He is certainly someone who is definitely loyal... an example to others! Are you listening Robbie hmmm?
i think ramos should keep malbranque...he played his role good enough to secure his place on hotspur's squad..
Exactly my mate barca4Lyf...
Sell and buy Bentley and Capel!!! that's what I am talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lethal wingers mate, as good as any in the League!!!
Bentley on da right and Capel on da left wat a fuckin great parternership!!!
I know i want to believe it's going to happen? But i until they sign i want to keep my feet firmly on the ground.
Come on Levy get the cheque book out!!!

Let Chimbonda go!...I like Teemu, but i think he should leave...Kaboul i want him to stay for 1 more year, but he wants to go so let him....AND KEEP THE STEED!
Adam if the fee is right at £23m, i think that is a good deal, we can use the money to buy Capel & Bentley, whom along with Gio & Lennon would give us an awesome foursome on the wings!!! As for the others they are not good enough to challenge imo, apart from Kaboul who hasn't shown what he is really capable of, but he has done himself no favors with his comments in the media.
