Goody gumdrops...
Sweet news. The boy Bentley is indeed coming to Tottenham Hotspur.
A large thank you to Big Yid who broke the news on here today. David Michael Bentley who underwent a medical Tuesday 24th of June 2008 at 9pm at Holly House Hospital, Buckhurst Hill, which the player passed without incident.
This also ties in with Little Dave's sightings which were posted yesterday. You may have a ring of security around your signings this season Mr Levy, but where there is a will, and there is a will, there is a way...
The delay in the announcement is anyone's guess.
Welcome home, David.
Great news Harry! Any news regarding the deal? Lennon going the other way? Also whats all this Keano talk!!?
Delighted to hear if indeed this is true... Is there any idea HH, as to when there will be an announcement from Spurs???
any news on how much and if any one went the other way hope we keep lennon good competition for the wing
excellent news, almost makes me smile but then i think of Robbie and i am fuckin miserable again
personally i am clinging onto the fact that scousers dont have much cash as the yanks are tighter than wengers little lads chuffers and Keano is a yid for life....if only he read this blog he would realise how much we want him to play alongside the likes of Bentley and Modric
hope bentley does come cus lennon just aint performing keano is staying modric centre midfield dos santos attacking mid diego capel on left and bentley on right top 4 easy bye bye liverpool or arsenal
Big THANKS again Sir H, for keeping us up to date
with news!! at least i can get excited for now
cheers for the update harry but i know plenty of players who have done a medical at one club and ended up at another so i suggest we remain calm as all is not at end. i believe it will happen though but as to when gets everyone confused and if it does THANK YOU for telling us in advance.
Another thing sorry to upset everyone but im too fond off keane for the good of the team although im pleased with the goals he gets i think he upsets the balance of the side and if we replace with a pacey striker i will be more than pleased as long as berba stays and crouch dosnt come
Did anyone see Setanta's take on the summer signings thus far in the PL? They rate Spurs as the No 1 club in England! With a score of 9/10 for our signings so far, and this is without the Bentley deal which i hope true/imminent? Harry???
I think this is excellent news. I would loved Lennon to have progressed enough to be first choice, but we all know that his final ball is just not good enough. Bentley's delivery from wide is much better than Lennon and, whilst he doesn't possess the blistering pace, his movement is good.
I desperately hope we keep Keano. I am sure that Liverpool want him, but I dont think they have the money to get him, if they have to spend the rumoured amount on Barry. I don't think Crouch is Juande's type of player at all.
Have you any whispers on the Paraguayan centre back Nelso Cabrera, Harry? The team he plays for are managed by Ossie, which may give it a bit of substance. Or is it just media lies again?
The lose of Keane would be gutting, it upsets me just thinking about it and i dont care how gay that sounds. He is Mr Tottenham
when will it be tied up then and is lennon going our is this just more rubish u made up...................rubish!!!!!!!
Fatfish someone made a very good point on here earlier, the last thing we want to be doing is buying defenders from a team managed by Ossie Ardiles!!! As much as we loved/love him.
Excellent news my dear Harry.
Astute reporting as ever. Fuck the c*nts at Spurs Oddysey.
BIOYCS!
Any idea Harry as to when we can expect an announcement then?
For what it's worth lads, the BBC reports "Spurs have not received a transfer request from Keane, despite reports claiming he had demanded to leave White Hart Lane." - source: LINK - hope that steadies a few nerves til he gets back off holiday at least
mr tottenham my a*** i dont care if he goes im more worried about berba can everyone get over it keane aint great he will flop at liverpool and be at sunderland by next season
and i hope this new aint just on the back of what bigyid said no offence but how do we know he aint a mr billy bull shi**er who wants to look the man
Bentley, Gomes, dos Santos and Modric.WOWwee. Surely next season is going to be a lot of fun! Yet what a huge mistake it would be to let Keane go. I feel terrible just thinking about it.
Also with all these big money signings does that mean Berbatov is good as gone, or is Joe Lewis starting to seriously pump money into the club?
id rather lose berba than keane anyday. over 40goals in the last 2seasons and many assists is hardly poor is it angryyid
Cheers anyway Harry, no doubt as when... we will hear it here first! I am just mega impatient with all this transfer activity at the minute, i just hope and pray it (Bentley) comes to fruition.
TAKEN FROM RAMOS'S PAL GUILLEM BALAGUE'S PERSONAL WEBSITE
Spurs will return to work on the 3rd of July and plan to spend part of their pre-season in Spain, but there is one thing that is bothering everybody at the club: by that time, Juande Ramos and his staff had wanted to be able work with the final squad, but now that is not going to happen.
The slowness of the transfer market – in part due to this summer's tournament - means that Spurs have, up to now, only been able to add a couple of big names to the squad (Gio Dos Santos and Modric), while they have been unable to sell any of the players that Juande Ramos has identified as surplus to requirements.
Spurs want to sell Aaron Lennon and Berbatov and use that money to get a striker, a right winger and a defensive central midfield player. Depending on the money coming in, Ramos will choose from one of the goalkeepers targeted by the
capt10 keane upsets the balance he slows counter attacks down he spends half his time moaning to refs we need a striker with pace berbs has as many goals and for defo more assists keane cant s*** on berbs and i for 1 would rather keane left anyday of the week he will do shite at liverpool anyway
capt10 they have both been good...
As a partnership in the last two seasons they have been as good as any in the league. Berba has scored 46 goals in 101 games - where as Keane has 45 goals in 98 games - That's over 90 goals in just under 200 games (in all competitions) which is a phenomenal feat in itself. No one argue as strikers are judged on how many goals to games they score & Keane deserves as much credit as Berba... Added to his goals his assist and work rate along with overall team play are second to none... credit to both of them i say!
hes not done shit anywhere hes played so why would he at liverpool?? and im aware berbs scores and assists but his attitude stinks. Keane has passion for the club and will fight till the end
Why are people questioning Robbie Keane? I'm Stunned!!! I'd take Keanes Ability and LOVE (remember 5-1 night?) over Any other and I mean any other striker in the world....Villa Included!!! Theres only one Keano...
Capt10 i'am Keano's biggest fan and if i had to choose between him and Berba, i would choose the former. In my last post i was just pointing out what a devastating partnership they are, and that we should do everything we can to keep them both at the club. If any of our strikers should leave it should only be Darren Bent.
fight till the end but he wants to f*** off as soon as someone comes calling teams have wanted berbs for ages but hes still here as soon as he gets a whiff of another club c ya i believe his head is turned and i say good riddance loyalty my a*** it dont exist
jason, Basho and all the others supporting keano
totally agree, cant believe there are doubters, fucking incredible
I realize that Keano is a legend, but if we are truly going to break into the top 4 then Keano is not the man to help us do it. He has too many off days, is short of a yard of pace, and misses too many one on ones to be a truly world class striker. In cricket they would call him a flat track bully.
Keano deserves a medal for his services and for getting us so close to the top 4, but he is never going to push us over the top. Lets take the money, and give some of it to Berbs to persuade him to stay.
LLTK26, I agree, the two of them have made the best strike partnership in the world at the moment and with the new supply they will have next year they will be unreal. Dont get me wrong from past posts, i dont want berbs to leave but id keep keane ahead of him if it came to it. I hope to keep all three tbh
Apparently we're in talks with a Paraguayan club over the transfer of a midfielder called Cabrera... don't know if there is any substance to this, and don't know about Cabrera myself... but hopefully he's the kind that breaks legs in the middle of the park to complement Bentley as well as our other new signings.
angryyid are you indeed a YID? If so how can you say loyalty doesn't exist what about King? And how do you know this isn't just lies about Keane! Don't be so quick to make a judgment? Thats all i am saying.
Teddy never hate pace, didnt stop him winning countless winners medals
Othello as stated on here somewhere earlier he is a defender, coached by none other than our very own Ossie Ardiles! Personally the thought of taking any defender coached by our former great, doesn't seem appealing
Lets not forget that Keano was the guy that scored the most premiership goals in 2007, sure his goal tally may have slowed a little towards the end of the season but it's not as if he can't find the net. I have full confidence that he will stay, but can't believe how some people here are saying we don't need him! He's been pretty much our best player for the past 2 years!
Anywho, get in bentley! The only worry I have is that we may be fielding a completely new midfield next season that have no idea how to play with each other...
Good news re, Bentley but losing Keane would be unthinkable. For those who write "it's ok to let Keane go and we can keep Berba?" Is it still not CLEAR Berba wants out!!! Let's hope this is paper talk.
Looking forward to Bentley
Please tell me angryid is taking the pi**! I know everyone has a right to an opinion, but he should be banned for sheer stupidity. Keane hasnt said anything yet, and you have the gall to call him disloyal. He's been the club's most dedicated servant since he's come. You kow, the more I think about the absolute ridiculouseness of your posts, you must be on a wind-up. nevermind
well sorry to upset you but ive never been a fan of keane always used to prefer defoe keanes a winger hes lost his pace we aint getting villa i know that but if keane goes and we bring in a good pacey striker im happy thats what we miss on counter attacks bents quick but has no confidence KEEP BERBS AT SPURS
mark my words we will never get champions league with keane
angry@angryyid haha, 'banned for sheer stupidity' love it!! no offence angryyid!
And Keane is not a winger!! are you talking about the same Keane as us
i know teddy never had pace im not questioning keane just because his pace im saying we need pace and berbs aint got it so i want someone with it to play with him not keane
Wait, when was Keane ever winger? And when did he ever have pace? He's always relied on craft and guile to deliver the goods.
Your words have been marked and you will be eating them by next season... Mark my words, and while your at it have a little faith!
cant stop laughing at angry@angryyid haha, youve made my night mind you the smallest things have always got me(no comments on that thanks)
angryyid why are you called that anyway? i was just curious?
Back to the question at hand, you talk about pace but without a football brain what good is it??? Just look at Aaron Lennon for fuck sake!
Come off, it Berbatov has no pace? Have a looky look at any of his youtube compilations for a refresher...
*tuts, rolls eyes etc*
sorry my bad keane is a whinger and im called that because thats what reading some of comments about keane makes me please please dont go robbie come on he aint great simple hes good
Added to that as pointed out Berba & Keane are doing pretty damn good together, with nearly a 100 GOALS in 2 seasons!!! If ain't broke, don't fix it!
Berbs has pace only when he can be arsed to provide it, which is 'some of the time' at best
Cheers, LLTK26. My net is slow so I missed the original post... As he's a defender, and an international one at that, it should be a good signing if it happens, seeing how well Paraguay are doing in World Cup qualifying from a defensive perspective.
simply talking about pace because we lack it up front not that pace makes you great but we lack it upfront and harry although berbs can drift past defenders like hes flash thats skill not pace he aint the slowest but i would love a right pacey striker up with him
Oh dear god, angryyid please use some punctuation. My head hurts...
the lack of pace hasnt stopped us been one of the highest scoring teams in the prem for the last two seasons
i dont think its true, but i love to be proved wrong, and keane is a idiot if he goes, if he doesn't, i didn't mean that!
capt10 why do you ask simply beacuse i have a different opinion to you on one player you stopp as low as asking if i watch football?? why is that??
I just HAVE to chuck my 2p's worth on the "Keane has no pace" issue.
There was an interview with Martin Jol a short while ago where he said that Robbie is one of the quickest players at Spurs. I seem to recall him burning (possibly) Gallas to score in the 5-1 drubbing and I can't understand why anyone would think he is not fast! Ok, he's not Torres, but very few are both that quick and that good an all-round striker. Robbie is no slouch whatsoever, and has other great aspects to his game.
To let him go would be an unmitigated DISASTER.
(Great news on Bentley)
All those in favour of Keano
just watch the doubters backtrack when keano gets back from his well deserved break to re-iterate his loyalty to Spurs
If those red tops have achieved one thing it is to truly test the real spurs fans
I also think the only thing keeping Berbs at our club is Keano, we might think as loyal and vociferous fans he might stay because of that, truth is he wants to score goals and Keane makes that happen
because you dont seem to have any knowledge of the keane/berbs partnership or the fact that teams dont have to just have pace to win things. ok it was a bit childish i take it back :O)
Defoe would still be at the club, if pace was that important & Keane wouldn't, it's as simple as that!
I wouldn't say that remark was "stooping low" exactly. Given your remarks, it's a question of some merit.
Do you?
i dont doubt the partnership but to go to that next level we have got to punish teams. we may well score goals but its when the s*** hits the fan we struggle its the defining moments when we dont take our chances and we just aint dangerous enough on the counter attack for some reason keane slows us down i dont like it
LLTK26
Defoe is NOT quicker than Keane!! Maybe ever so slightly better accel. and better change of direction but not top speed.
angryyid it's nothing to do with the strike force as to why we don't win enough football matches, it's to do with the fact we cannot hold on to the lead, and we have to consistently out score our opponents because of this.
One thing is for sure Berba and Keane are as good as any in the Premiership, and that includes the top four - There record proves this 100%
nunchucks its opinion im not a keane fan, you may not be a fan of someone i am a fan of or we may both be a fan of one player at the club its opinion
LLTK26
excellent point, Spain proved the only rela way to defend a lead is to try and make it bigger............isnt Ramos Spanish?
toddspur we will have agree to disagree, imo Defoe is definitely quicker.
Anyone else got an opinion on this?
I would have thought Defoe was quicker but you dont tend to see them making the same kind of runs, Defoe plays off the shoulder and exploits areas of space whereas Keane drops deeper and feeds players, runs at players(which tends to be short runs and slower).
If we really really want to get into top 4, come one lets be serious, lets lose Keane, Bent, Berba, Lennon, Zokora, Tainio, Jenas, Dawson, Chimbonda, Lee, Robbo, Gardener, KPB, Taarabt, basically everyone leaving king, woodgate, bale, gunter, hutton, hudd, ohara, steed, modric, dos santos, gomez, and let Juande Ramos, a man who knows shite players when he sees em, replace all of those, then we can truly not just dream about, but actually kick all the top 4;s a$$es. Isnt it time for a change?
toddspur Ramos is Spanish 100% lol, and no i am not taking the piss ;-)
longlivetheking26 do you think this is because most top sides play 1 up top maybe?? like i said im not doubting the partnership i just want a different style of play and ramos will implement that in his way.
LLTK26
i wasnt arguing that point, for all i care red rum could have been quicker than Keano (and four feet to score with), defoe didnt score alongside Berbs hence why he was shipped out
I agreed with our weakness on holding out on fickle leads
Angryyid you have a point in a sense about not being able to finish off teams, but I think an overall emphasis on defense, starting from the strikers through to the midfield and cutting out the preschool errors in the back four, would help us better reach our target of a top six finish. Ramos I'm sure, will see to remedying that, working with the team shape and what not. And where were the crucial goals from midfield last season? They were non-existent. The likes of Bentley and certainly Modric will help us keep the ball when we do score first and be able to provide creative attacking options when level or down. In Ramos, we trust...
LLTK26, you're right: Defoe is quicker.
AngryYid, I don't mind people having differing opinions, but when those opinions are bandied about the place with little rhyme or reason, you must expect some rebuttals.
Berbatov contributed 15 goals and 9 assists to our EPL campaign: a remarkable feat. So much so, that news of his imminent departure has spawned much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
But what was the boy wonder doing in this time? Chipping in with 15 goals and 5 assists. Not so far off Golden Boy, is it?
So, I take umbrage at: statements like: He'll be shit at Liverpool! Why? What is this based on?
All things considered, I think "do you watch football" is as polite a riposte as is deserved, and isn't stooping low by any stretch of the imagination. Now, had he said" "Your parents, they aren't brother and sister by any chance, are they", then you would have had a point.
This story is absolute BS!! Although I must admit i love reading the articles on this site. But lets be honest lads any1 could say that their missus works at the hospital where spurs players take they're medicals.
angryid
i agree on different styles of play and keeping keano will help us do this;
Without him we cannot play Berbs on his todd (excuse the pun) as only Modric can really claim to be an offensive midfielder (he has bad ahir, whether thats offensive is debatable).
We must keep Keano to play different styles, this is why defoe went to the navy barracks
Is there a moral to this tale? If the signing of Bentley is a fact (and thanks to BigYid, Mrs BigYid and HH for the info), then is there a message in all of this?
I mean, why wouldn't Bentley, Dos Santos, Modric and (potentially) Capel go to a (current) top four club? Is it because some players (intelligent, maybe?) are beginning to feel a sense of revulsion at the Molochs swallowing up talented players? Is it because they recognise that life exists outside Man Yoo, C2e1sea, Ar5ena1 and Pool? Why not? Maybe a spirit of adventure and ambition still exists in a few intelligent players - qualities which they believe can be expressed and realised at Spurs.
I'm not unaware that there will be financial and material inducements to obtain the services of new players. Nor that, for some, the decision to sign may be based on convenience. But maybe there are some professionals who still desire to rise to a real challenge, rather than catch a lift on the easy, tried-and-tested ride of a big four juggernaut. Maybe they want to be part of Juande's 'project'.
No matter if Keane is going to Pool. If he is, it would be, for him, a decision based on emotion. Why else would he turn his back on what appear to be an exciting turn of events at the Lane?
Everyone in the Premier League bar the top four wants to see the the vice-like grip the top four have on their position broken. Spurs are deploying their troops for an assault on the citadel. Come on you Spurs!
Lennon's the fastest player at Spurs (apologies if someone already said that).
Anyway - I don't want Keane to go but I wouldn't begrudge him wanting to leave if LFC are really in for him. He's 27 and he wants a good few years shooting for the Champions League. He might get that with us but he will deffo get it with LFC - who he supported as a lad. Problem is LFC can't afford him. They can't afford Barry at the moment without selling Alonso. So how the F* can they afford the 20 mill it would take to shift Keano as well?
PS I reckon Berbs is off to Barca. Which means our entire midfield and attack and 2 of our defenders (King and Bale) will be different to last season - That is a nightmare scenario. Hello mid-table mediocrity - goodbye season ticket.
angryyid fair point about the other top 4 playing one up, but i still think they are as good as any partnership in the league, and that was the original point i was making.
toddspur hopefully we will have a settled back line next season, players like Woodgate, Hutton & Bale are still fairly new, and if we can keep them fit along with King - our problems at the back could be solved once and for all!
angry@angryyid good name by the way. it simply is my opinion that we dont kill teams of and i just feel with a bit more pace up top especially late in games when can do so. its always us conceding late goals how about scoring a few for a change. i simply want a striker who can get one on one with the last defender and roast him not hold it up and wait for someone else. we are never gonna be a great defensive unit its not our style but we have good defenders maybe the midfield doesnt help at either end at vital stages. i agree where the crucial goals from the middle there wasnt many and like you said the signings will improve this but my point is simply to have a different outlet. SORRY to who ive affended but its just the way i feel but saying so i am 1000% confident with ramos
LLTK26
Think you are right but the secret lies with with Ramos, if he made us go for the juggular then imagine the fun we'd have!
Capt10
damn right, the keano issue is bigger than Bentley.
THIS IS CONFIRMED ON THE SKY SPORTS WEBSITE:
Bentley is not a Yid. That may not surprise you much. However, what will surprise you is that neither are Modric, dos Santos or Gomes.
Yes, Sky Sports has unveiled the shocking transfer hoax that Messrs Levy and Ramos have pulled off. I decided to look at skysports.com's "completed transfers by league" section and found that none of the aforementioned players have been signed.
On a lighter note, the good news is that we have signed a player called Gilberto from Hertha for £2 (yes, that's TWO POUNDS!) and his namesake Gilberto da Silva for an undisclosed fee.
They really don't pay those poor blokes at skysports.com enough...
Going Back to the original subject. I for one would be delighted to have David Bentley at The Lane next season. Let it happen Juande....let it happen!!
I agree Toddspur, and the thought of him going makes me an angryyid too
I honestly don't understand the disgruntled barrage of mutterings aimed at the strikeforce. It represents the cream of the Premiership in terms of results - and you can take that to the bank at 7% interest.
The fact that our defence doesn't turn up against weaker opposition is the reason we have relegation defensive stats, combined with Manchester United-esque attacking stats.
This article sums up perfectly what is wrong at Spurs: LINK
It's true that the top four and even the top continental sides prefer the 4-2-3-1 or 4-5-1 and they do thrive with it, but from what I've read about Ramos, he's a strict 4-4-2 man. And angryyid, I know what you mean about having pace on a counter when up by a goal, but Benty's proven that that doesn't always work as well as planned. It's not like you can pick up a pacy, dribbling, deadly finishing striker at the corner store. They're a little harder to come by. But what we do know with Ramos' former team is that he likes to play with the ball at pace, not necessarily with players with pace. I mean, he did have Kanoute up front, not exactly bags of pace there. Oh, and I've considered changing the name to notasangry@angryyidanymore, but it doesn't quite roll off the tongue does it?
yes cap10 but going back to it just because bigyid misses said so doesnt mean its done lol but i think bentley will i was abit iffy at first but he will improve us but i am a fan off lennon dont wanna see him go but looks likely
supersub
appatrently they gave hertha 58p back in change
lol @ angry@angryyid agreed i do feel we should change to a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 sometimes saying that its a reason ramos will want to keep keane as it can interchange during games i suppose
bigyids missus is a real gem, can you imagine her waxing onto her fellow suffering wives about how her fella is a fuckin pain in the arse Yiddo and all the time she knew more about our club than him. if she wasnt so well connected id bin her!
quality, no offence bigun, but i,m still chucklin at this
CAPT10
lets hope not is Euros mate, it would break us financially
forgetting everything im more worried about a DM im not sure we are going to sign one which is very worrying and we do we get all this cash lol its crazy but fun
angryyid ur still bitter about defoe leaving, i have a friend like you who loved defoe he is now big enough to admit that keano is a better all round player. keane has scored more goals in every season from when he joined the club apart from one season! i would love as much as u for berba 2 stay but would berba score as many goals if keane wasnt doing the running for himself and berba???!! Keane might moan at the ref but that shows passion! if im wrong please correct me but i think keane won player of the year last season!!? what we GOT 2 learn is selling your best players wont get you champions league football like selling carrick!
KEANE HAS NOT HANDED IN A TRANSFER REQUEST STOP READING THE SUN AND SHIT WEBSITES LIKE FANSFC AND TRIBAL FOOTBALL!!
yep, you cant live with em and you cant live with em......never a truer word said
Todd, we could have used that 58p to sign Sergei Rebrov before the end of the current season (1999-2000). Sky Sports claim that would have saved us approximately £10,999,999.42
tottenham2idie just one thing defoe scored more when they played together but you could argue jermaine was greedy the other years jermaine played a lot less games mate but this was not the point by the way.
No offence to bigyids mrs,but why do we take her word that Bentley is coming? There has been no word from us,LFC or Robbie Keane and yet we're up in arms that he's potentially leaving. Is this not a red top attempt to upset the squad as they finally see us as the closest we've come to breaking up the SKY4?
i can picture it now, BigYid comes home from work happy, Mrs Bigyid asks why he's so happy, he says its due to Spurs signing this new player and she tells him she had seen some guy by that name in the hospital doing the medical a week ago,and prob finishes with 'you only had to ask me i could have told you that'
No, calculators haven't been invented on skysports yet
Yidagend
you aint met bigyids missus obviously.........look out!!
Fair point but the bigun has put his balls on the line to be shot down so give credit where its ude mate
CAPT10
She probably thought some bloke who played footy parked his Bentley in the hospital car park.....when bigyid asked about the car he drove she said it was a black one with lots of shiny bits
Without trying to sound negative etc, I dont believe a transfer story until the player is there, holding the spurs shirt.
Mainly because of how embaressed i was a few years ago when it was announced on sky sports news that we had signed duff. I started to put duff in the spurs team like wed signed him, whilst comparing him to my m8s everton player on the left etc.
then we didnt sign him, n he went to the barcodes.
well done on a great career move btw damien, no trophies, no european footy, n 3/4 of the season out injured.
hope bentley is true tho, ramos obviously thinks our midfield is s**t tho lol.
COYS
Come to think of it, I saw a tree that looked like David Bentley driving a Bentley in Bentley Wood yesterday, and the way it was waving its branches suggested that it had signed for Spurs, but didn't have a driving licence.
lol, gotta go chaps, when i wake up and see Robbie slating the red tops and pledging his undivided love for Spurs i will be a happy man
The Prince has lost his crown. LINKfacets/football/sport-space/great-britain-locale/
toddspur - didn't mean to berate him (or her), just amazed at how we get so wound up about potentially losing RK (which I personally think would be terrible) when nobody has any iota of fact behind it. Beyond he is a childhood Pool fan. Roy Keane was a childhood Spurs fan but he chose ManUsa over us!
Right, im off, lets look forward to a brighter day, more top draw signings and keeping what we have
so is this revelation still based on Big Yid's
tale of the medical??
I'll believe it when i see it..
Harry??
Hands up if you believe Big Yids Missus?

(formerly Jason Bartley) although im still called that...i think. at home at least!
Something concerning... According to the Spurs official site, Dos Santos is listed as a striker. He has mentioned that he joined for first team footy? Do any of you chaps know if the web-site profiles represent the internal squad role, of if there is a more tenuous link? I had felt that Dos Santos's role would have been AM/Wing but if his squad role is Forward/Striker then I don't envisage him starting too many matches alongside Keano.
Keano has been my favourite player virtually since he signed (I was gutted when he signed for Leeds as I thought we'd missed the boat), so I really hope that he stays! The man is world class - ask the president of Inter!
Big Yid is a highly esteemed geezer and consequently I'll put the rent on this.
Er...if my landlord is reading this...
harry - surely a medical does not constitute a done deal though...what else makes you so sure?
I would be very sad to see keane leave as he has been a great servant to the club and seeing him lift the cup last year was a high point in my life...however, i can see where angryyid is coming from. When we get infront in games which we do on a very regular basis we find it tough to hang on to the lead and kill teams off. This is imo down to several reasons, as we are all well aware we dont have a ball winner in midfield and the defensive (bar woodgate and king when he played) looked shaky and goals were frequently conceeded. But also because when we are hanging on in a game berba and keane are players who drop too deep and almost invite pressure onto us as teams know we dont have the ability to hit the ball over the top.
Last season spurs were far, far too one dimensional, we need options. If we hang on to our best players and continue to purchase players of the calibre we have done already in the positions we need, i think we'll suprise a few other sides next season and could do very well. Also, i am going to be in America for most of next season so i think we'll have our best season in recent memory because of that commonly known, sods law.
Anyways, good news on Bentley COYS!
keano aint goin nowhere!! dont think dos santos will play up top...always played on the wings for barca!! good news about bentley he is a big improvement but hope lennon stays aswell!!!
I don't like your headline. "Bentley is a yid" Bentley is a Spur would be more appropriate. Before I go any further I must point out that I am not a racist, but am fed up to the back teeth of reading about the Spurs yids.
I know about 30 Spurs fans and none are Jewish. Spurs are a great north London team supported by many different races and cultures and are not controlled or supported by just one race!!!!
also ive heard before that robbie keane was a celtic fan not liverpool??!!!!
A medical is absolutely not a done deal. You're right, but given the all the infromation before the court... I find it increasingly difficult to believe he won't be Lilywhite next season. Let's wait and see.
i hope you are right too
I had this thought:
villa let us have bentley (i.e. no bidding war), in exchange for lennon.
we also take lifelong spurs fan, gareth barry off of their hands for the money we get from liverpool for robbie keane (and they also lay off barry!)
pie in the sky maybe, but it would solve a lot of problems and rumours!!
also, a guy on glory-glory claims to be mates with bentley and he was on holiday with him a couple of weeks ago. He says that bentley has not left NW england since his return from holiday...
Ian.
It is well documented that opinion on the use of the word Yid is divided. I noticed when I posted on Football Fancast the word was 'doctored' into 'spurs fan.' They have a cracking operation over there and obviously feel like you do.
Unfortunately, for you, I use the word often enough, so you made need to look away.
Angryyid, I'm with you to certain extent, I don't want Keane to go, but I want to see a striker with pace who is more clinical on goal. A lot has been said about the Berbatov being a miserable whinging cunt, but at least he has the other player's ineptitude to fall back on. You have to admire Keane's work rate and passion, but on a lot of occasions the little fella looks down right clumsy. OK, he's scored 100 goals in 5 years, but that's what he's paid to do. Most half decent strikers should be scoring 20 goals a season in all competitions. I also haven't see Keane (or Berbatov for that matter) scoring many goals against the better teams, especially away from home. As I said, I don't want him to leave, but I'm not going to allow sentiment to get in the way of the truth that there are better strikers than Keane out there.
TMWNN, Keane this season alone scored once against Chelsea, once at the Emirates, twice at Anfield and also one at Old Trafford in the FA cup I believe. Maybe you didn't watch those games?
What a load of pish, not one paper have seen anything. Neither have Sky Sports, so we are meet to believe that this is a real story. Bentley might come to the lane. But for him to have a medical already is laughable. I think everyone should just wait til something is said on our offical website, or evens Blackburns. Not here.
dawaxman, the bad news is that THIS season there are an abundance of shit sources... and good ones... ...that have gone shit.
So far this window I have NOT published nore often than I have. Look at Archibald. Great snout. But he announced medicals for Dunne & Ferdinand. Absolute cobblers. Tough times.
correction, he scored at whl against the scum, not the emirates, sorry.
Reven, I for one will take your fantastic advice. I'll knock this shite on the head and will log on to the OS and spend the rest of my life hitting F5 with that metal prong on a headband the doctor gave me. Cheers.
I think too many people are being short sighted when it comes to what Bentley has to offer. Maybe it is the scum connection but remember he jumped ship and I hold my hat off to him for that and it highlights the shitty system they got down the road at the imigrants. Bentley a welcome addition in my eyes...gonna give us soo much more defensivly than Lennon ever did or could - in terms of presence and physical strenghth......oh and he can also deliver a Beckhamesq kind of ball
As for the comments Keano can go cos we need to take it to that "next leve"..........what a crock of shit....Mr Tottenham.....Mr Passionate....you've seen him fight for every decision, every foul, every single deflection....he is such a talent, so clever and I would like to lower myself and give anyone who pays their money week in and week out like I do a naughty right hander for stating utter rubbish. Whatver the weather Keano is there for us earning the right to wear our shirt. Who else do we have a song about having 11 same players in the team?
lol Revan see my post above about skysports.com, you definitelty won't find any current news (or accurate news) there, according to them we haven't signed Modric or dos Santos yet, and we bought Gilberto twice for just £2!
harry - thats an old article...check out the last sentence!
Mate, it's dated the 25th. And that was my point......
The medical was on the..... 24th. Inconclusive, but bloodt interesting coincidence,no?
