Spurs Silly Season Two-This thread is pants and smells of wee

Mendes is a good player, its a shame he wants to leave.

 

Now if Real Madrid hadn't bought that waste of space Pablo Garcia we should have offered them Mendes in exchange for either Ronaldo or Robinho Lord knows they need a good holding midfielder - especially with the formation Luxemburgo is trying to make them play!

 

I like Mendes, didn't kick up a fuss. I felt we looked seriously flat in midfield, too much pointless passing and as for the big lad up front??? Shame on you all who dissed Kanoute!

Too many players too soon, it looks like it could be another season of settling in and players getting to know one another again.

As for Davids???

 

It is the truth. Please watch the games.

 

I think i agree, there are some games he'd do well in but the majority i don't think he would.

I wouldn't mind seeing him play in place of Jenas at the moment, but the only way Jenas will get comfortable is by playing himself and ultimately JJ will be the better player.

It's no good having an unhappy player on the books, it's best to sell if they don't feature.

 

This would be my preferred team if all fit:

-------Robbo-----

Stalteri (RB---Dawson---King---(LB) Lee
----------Carrick-------

Routledge---------------Davids

-----------Jenas--------

Defoe -------------Keane

I think the Diamond can work with Defoe and Keane together, Keane would drop back more, and Jenas can run ahead of the attackers. I would also like the Idea of Mido and Defoe up front, Jenas on the right of the diamond with Keane dropping to the top of the diamond.

I was just thinking of ways to play to our strengths, this to me makes the most sense. Do you think it would work?

 

I think Defoe-Mido-Keane could work, more so at home. It would mean alot of the width will have to be provided by the fullbacks, Lee could certainly provide that and for the right i dont need to say who can do that job

 

...to be honest that is the formation and basically the team I play on FIFA
Except Davids has retired so I use either Reid, Tainio or Ziegler on the left. I won the league in 07/08 and am top again w 12 d 2 L 1 for 08/09(yes my life is full of all sorts of virtual excitement). I have put the super back into Tottenham again I knew I should have become a football manager.

 

I miss Reto

 

I hope not. I thought that was a hard part about the deal?

None the less, we should NOT let him go.

 

AFAIK, the only option in the Ziegler deal is for us to have him back in Jan.

 

..it be a damn shame to lose the lad, anyone know how he's doing?

 

I've been following a thread in the Swiss boards. Swiss players abroad.

 

..so has he done anything good? I know RDV has found a bit of form for them. I think it was a shame not to have gone in for him.

 

He hasn't played that much so far. Just a coupke of sub appearances and the odd start. Done well for them so far. Haven't checked the board for a week or so.

I hope we keep him and don't sell him off. I don't know why but I just like him a lot as a player. RDV is quality. I too would have loved to put in a bid for him. Ah well. We have Michael brown instead.

 

..I thought he performed great before Reid was bought in...I can't see us getting rid of a good prospect.

 

Now Rich, you know you think more highly of Reidy as I do. I have watched him more closely due to your influence and I have been hard on him (no smutty innuendo ). He is a good player and will probably get better.

I would put Reto in over him every time though. Just my opinion. Why did Jol go sour on him suddenly?

 

..I have no clue. Maybe he is homesick, and would me comfortable in a German speaking country. As long as he don't go the way of Blondel.

 

Yeah. In the odd quiet moment, a lull in the day, I sometimes wonder what would have happened if Dalmat had worked out too.

 

and rebrov before him.

 

Oh God. I thought he was going to be the shizzle. In fact he was just plain shizzle. Mind you, he didn't get all the opportunities that he might have had. Hoddle didn't like him though. He did score a few crackers for us.
