I doubt he will get a game at right back, and we have so many centre backs that it will take a meteor to wipe them out.
Routledge will be back at the beginning of November, and Pamerot will never be back. So, in effect, we only have one injured player. Good news!
http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/article.asp?hlid=308188 Dawson was rested from the Liverpool game after playing in two games in the under 21's. He came off the training pitch today with a hamstring problem which could keep him out for 2 weeks.
I would like us to sell Garnder, Davenport & Naybet and bring in a top international centre back, which I am sure Martin will when we qualify for Europe. Kevin Hofland is quality and has CL experience and his contract expires at the end of this season. He's Dutch, 29 and quality. Huddlestone can come in also as a squad player.
Hofland is not as good as Dawson, was a very promising youngster but it all fizzled out. Defensively we're doing very well. I agree that Nayebt, Gardner and Davenport will all get offloaded, but I don't think they'll need to spend big on someone. Maybe another veteran.
http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/article.asp?hlid=308994 Gardner will be out for upto 2 months. That is a shame, he has done well this season but we have Naybet to take his place.

That is a shame, he has done well this season but we have Naybet to take his place.[/QUOTE] Naybet has loads of experience (he's as old as me for gods sake) - I just hope that experience can make up for what we lost of Gardners speed, height, "youthful energy", etc.
The only reason Gardner has been playing is to make Robbo look good. And my, has it worked?! We've got quality all over. My one worry is that some players are getting fed up. Just look at Mendes. Quality wants out! I love vodka. It makes me really happy. Er, of all the players we sold, only Kanoute was any good, and he's a bit lazy and crap.
...the old timer still has a super footballing brain. What he doesn't have in pace, he sure as hell has it in experience.
Its not like we're gonna miss him though, is it? We can just stick any old bastard in there, because we have 48 midfielders or something. I believe we'll prosper without him. I love vodka. My feet are numb.
....I am sure that your brain went numb way before your feet did. What do you mean "It's not like we're gonna miss him though, is it?". You must be drinking that cheap stuff. It's not good for you Chris!
Wayne Routledge may be out for a further 2 months putting his comeback date to nearer January. http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/article.asp?hlid=310267
....I am feeling better and I started short sprints yesterday. Should make the Ethnikos game next Monday. Don't like to brag, but we won every game when I was in the team. I have been missing for two games and we have drawn and lost those two. I got a really encouraging speech from the gaf on Saturday, so I'm well up for it! Maybe Jol should come and watch me play! I can do a great job on the right.
