Enquiries Made For Second Goalie

that is nowhere near as juicy as the prospect (however slim) that betis are considering offering 4 mill for kpb!!!

4 mill i think is all we can ask for realy as the boy is pony any news on bently yet also any signs of a defensive midfielder on the horizon.. god we need one

is lennon actually going to leave harry or is it all just pure speculation and what is going on with bentley?

Doesn't 'impeccable source' suggest it is continuos without the superfluos 'continuosly'?

Sorensen is a strange choice as is he someone we would want to rely on if Gomes was injured?

Harry, any news on Bentley/Capel/Villa/Viviano?

We need experience all over the pitch, even at Goalkeeper P2, so this would be a good move. Still Hoping that Bentley ties up his move soon so we can search the net for the next signing on the horizon. (Capel?, Jarque? or that elusive DM)
Also for all those HOPING to see Senor Villa at the lane next here, unfortunately I think we will..... but in the colors of ManU!!! You heard it here first!!

Boeteng should be given the benefit of the doubt imo, remember he's only been at the club for 1 year... & don't forget he was rated as the best young player in Germany! You don't become a bad player over night?

I think Ramos will try to replicate the system that served him so well at Serville A 4,2,3,2. With 2 really quick wingers and overlapping fullbacks. Modric in the middle of the 3. Who are the 2 D Midfielders?

Cakey Bakey-ness. Pedantry is an unkind charge to make. So I'll just say....

Some 'hitherto' impeccable sources this season have, shall we say 'come a cropper' this time out. Ferdinand & Dunne medicals, anyone? This source has not suffered such a fate and so, not unreasonably, I called them 'continuosly impeccable.'

Which leaves you more Betty Crocker than Jane Asher.

Not bad back up, I could live with this

"CAT SHIT"!
Where? I cowered when I heard the cry, dirty hairy buggers at the best of times.......
But not Cat Shit....foolish........ but Catch it, ahhh yes you see if monster man cant hold em sorry son might? umm I cant think why?
Anyway I also heard this a week ago but thought nah bunkum!
Only because I feel left out, any news on Bently? (dont care dont care,,,,,) piriton anyone, o now just the sound of another line up the Conk! Pro Footy players eh!! nudge nudge wink wink?

All well and good Harry but whats the latest on Bentley and a new DFM? I'd rather see Kevin Pietersen than KPB in any Spurs team

Cutting and pasting my continuously has left you with my mispelling...

I'd make some lame comparison about self bake goods but that's obviously the host's thing.

Bangers. 4 2 3 2 adds up to 11 so are you suggesting we play without a keeper ? In which case we've just wasted 6 million.


Longlivetheking. "You don't become a bad player overnight ". Surely the Prince has to become a good player first ? He certainly hasn't shown anything yet.

onedavemackay

you may have a point!

KPB hasn't shown he's a good player? So you're basing how good he is purely on the one or two games every ten that he has played?

It's reasons like this that the big players don't want to come to us. One slip up and everyone is on his back. Yet, it these "fans" that still sing "England's Number One" despite mistake number 10,003 emanating from that waste of space Robbo... spot the hipocrisy.

Personally, I can't see Sorensen coming to us. Both he and Gomes are the type of 'keeper that would not relish long periods on the bench. I firmly believe we should promote from within.

Cakey Breaky Heart.. may I draw your attention to the cartoon at the foot of this page, dear.

harry you seem to be avoiding the one question we all want to read who is the dfm personally i would rather zokora went before kpb who with proper coaching i think will be a huge asset to us he gives away free kicks and most passes however he wants the ball lets give him a proper chance coys

Apparently, 'misspell' is among the 100 most often misspelled words in English.

I thought from the headline we were actually going to field two goalies. But that's just me. Blame it on the trauma of going an entire season without a goalie at all.

didnt KING perform really well at DM for England and Spurs at one point, could he not perform the duty and have Daws with Woodgate at the back, i still rate Daws quite highly, and feel KING would be a commanding presence there 4 us

"just an idea"

i wonder when this bentley transfer is actually going to happen??????

the point about king playing dm is a good one however there is a lot of games i hope he is fully fit and does us proud but we do need someone for that role

What's this about Kaboul being in talks with Portsmouth and Middlesbrough?

Hypothetically - if a coach decides a player isn't up to scratch and resolves to sell him; and this same coach knows that the player was originally purchased under a deal by which his cost increases with appearances; is said coach likely to withhold using the player, so as to incur the smallest possible loss when the employee is sold on?

Kaboul still seems bemused by his lack of appearances after Juande's arrival. Apart from being an unreliable centre-back, how much is the imminent transfer fee an explanation?

dfm - Guten Abend, mon amis.

I agree with you on the COYS bit but KPB flattered to decieve. I know he didn't get many games, but he hadn't just fallen out of a spaceship.

He got a break in fact a couple. And largely blew it. I don't doubt he's got something. I championed him and his avante garde sleeve rolling. But he didn't deliver.

He may well have to move on to thrive. That's allowed. What isn't is to continue with players who basically aren't advancing the cause.

Trust me. There are little names off now. The bigger ones will follow suit should they hesitate this coming term.

Zokora has one eye on the meter. This season he may well flourish or finally be found out. His saving grace(s) for now might be that he is versatile and his stock is at an all time low. Classic Tottenham.

Well if Zokora isn't found out soon I'll go mad. If he even starts for us again I'll be in total dismay at JR. Also why do you people keep asking HH about players? What's the news on this, whats the news on that. Listen HH cannily reveals his info 10-15 mins after somebody else has done on newsnow, despite people still then offering praise despite the original story 3 stories down. Keep asking if you like, but until another website provides the info - he doesn't know. Hence the reason he always ignores your question or plainly says he doesn't know. It's not real, you only believe it is.

hey harry, have you read the write up on vital football about Pekhart? If you have what do you think of it? Will we see the lad this season or will he go out on loan?

It seems Fuzzy Dunlop has found you out harry, it seems hes the man from MI5, the inside man.lol

Fuzzy that's unkind. I never bill common knowledge as 'Exclusive'.

Also, since the superior technological firepower of Ole Ole kicked in we are blessed by many New guests who in initial bouts of naivety, occasionally tug my sleeve too often. 'When's Bentley... etc'...

I'll marshall that, not you.

As for your wild comment of me either ignoring people or saying 'I don't know' you really are being completely dishonest.

So, if this blog is such a low point in your book, how can I phrase this? Oh yes. Fuck off and go score someone who actually values your opinion.

Hope that's clear enough.

Fuzzy clearly has a slow puncture.

Pekhart.

Or rather the Vital piece. Errr bizarre. The Finance Director rates him? Mmmmn. Sounds like a crock.

Some schoolboy spoke to his older brother who had three pints after work with someone who does the stationary orders at The Lane.

Sorry to be negative, but Finance Director? I'm unable to suspend my total and utter disbelief.

My thoughts exactly, a total crock of CHELSKI.

Looks like AC Milan are playing in the UEFA cup with us next year!

Fuzzy....question not the ways of the master....or do one.
We'' have none of that 'he read it somewhere else' nonsense on here...this is a local site for local yids

Looks like HH bounced his Dunlop ass out, Game, Set, match HH.

pedrowozrobbed, sir: I stuck him in a 'Babs Cab'... ;)

That'll teach the bounder...now lets get back to speculating chaps! (and i dont mean investing in leather riding britches)

what the hell happened to Alnwick? Is their any chance of him getting a look in?

Othello.
"KPB hasn't shown he's a good player? So you're basing how good he is purely on the one or two games every ten that he has played?"

What are we meant to base it on ? I was merely pointing out that to become a bad player overnight you need to have been a good one in the first place. Show me the evidence that he is already a good player as opposed to someone with potential .


Fuzzy Dunlop. Obviously Fuzzy refers to his brain.

German Young player of the year award

Its a good league, how can you doubt it, maybe a bit slower then the Prem but its rough enough and technically very good, alot of good clubs were interested in him, so they could'nt be wrong either.

Im with onedavemackay on the fresh prince. Ramon Vega was superior in all but tatoos

Maybe The Prince was bought as an investment, a piece of art, body art that is. It seems to be the only thing to stand out when hes playing.

Young player Shmoung player. He may become terrific but he ain't shown much at the lane. If you want a comparison look at O'Hara.

I wish everyone would stop quoting this young player award rubbish -kpb has never won such an award. im pretty sure the whole thing was a media spin on a “Most impressive player” award he was given at some u21 tournament. the award was definatly not as prestigious as the EPL's "young player of the year ” award

adz: Well done. He did what you said. Not what others have quoted...

One of my friends are from Frankfurt in Germany, he told me about the prince before he came, then told me about the award he got, he told me it is equal to the PFA Young Player OF THe Year Award,he is football crazy.

Hey, but what do I know!

The King has spoken.

More than enough in my book. Slainte.

nah. rough748. you are correct

You ever come over to the green Isle H?

Plenty of Yids over here, little Leprechauns running around with Spurs shirts,lol

I have a lovely home over there. But won't tell where...

I've also been lucky enough to stay up the road from you in Innishnee a coupla times.

Connemara ponies man, what a sight.

Cake you're becoming a chore, dear. Bake Off or bake off.

Did you know Martin (the Donkey) Keown was born on one of the arann islands (Irish Coast) and moved to london at a young age, both parents Irish, the turn coat gooner prick.

I might have been watching a different player but i thought modric based himself in front of the back four in every croatia game and worked from there. Whats all this BS about a DM? Are we not the spurs who love all out attack and fuck defence? Anyway good work Harry, I enjoy your articles. Crap or not.

Monkey Cunt. And I write that sober..

Shrekster, I think that the consensus is that Modric has been bought to play CM or AM but I also like the idea of him playing DM, rather in the style of Carrick, with another decent CM (NOT Jenas) playing alongside him or just ahead of him and two top wingers. I personally would much prefer to see Joaquin at WHL than Bentley, who is overpriced (although we don't really seem to mind that bit, do we?!?!).

TMG Spurs, the consensus ca thin what they want, Ramos should and will play him where he does his best work and where he is most comfortable playing. I think of the Bentley I seen last season and when i was most impressed with him he was centre to left midfield. I also cant wait to see bale back in the team as I think he will alo add a lot more dimension. I dont know enough about dos santos to comment on positions or anything ut from what i have seen he does look a class act and hopefully can fit in anywhere. I would welcome Joaquin to WHL as I thinkhe is a winger who could make it big in the EPL but then do i prefer Bale at left back or Left Midfield? Dunno I guess well have to see! Whatever we have already got a massively improved squad to last season. I will close by adding my best wishes to Robbo who has been a true Spur and I think a new start is just what the lad needs. COYS~!

Yeah i am pissed btw. Add or rearrange the letters above as required 80)

Modric will create when he's got the ball but is too lightweight to be the interceptor that we need in front of the rear guard. On that pearl...Im off to dream of lithe wenches and ma's apple pie (HH..'monkey cunt' sweet!)

gomes n sörensen, sounds great, keepin meh fingers crossed for ya guys...

i am sooooooo fucked off with ppl moaning about the content on this site. I work pretty hard every day and do not have the luxury of looking at every blog on news now. I will say that HH gets most things right b4 other sites and if things go awry, well things also go awry at THFC. Anyone remember when MJ got sacked? If you do not like it, then bugger off back to spurs odious or the Mirror..

I for one would love to see a decent DM come in and as far as I am concerned, if that happens, the 1st team is there. If not, Jenas or the Hudd will need to adapt and Ramos is the manager to inspire either/both players into filling the role. I am surely not alone in believing that with Levy and Ramos, we have the best management team we have had since I was born (1975) and look forward to finally beating ar5ena1 and Chelski regularly to have the bragging rights I have been denied for so long.

Basically, COYS and BIOYC next season!

Over and out

Dan

Brief mention was made here recently of Guillem Balague and his ITK credentials where Spurs matters are concerned.

He's now saying we are definitely making enquiries for Crouch.

So, to counterbalance our policy of recruiting midgets, we would have two new players - one at 6'4", the other at 6'7".

Which is nice.

Until you consider that all the team's height will be at opposite ends of the pitch.

I can only hesitate to imagine what the jeers will be like if he ever replaced Berbatov.

This tale, if not agent orchestrated says two things. No one at Spurs thinks Bent is gonna come good anytime soon and David Villa's agent was admitted to hospital suffering from canstoplaughingitus when we rang him.

There still seems to be a lot of doubt about the signing of Gomes, personally I think it's a great signing, but the signing of Crouch would definitely put the giants among the midgets. I'm 50/50 on this one. Technically he's excellent and obviously has good aerial ability, but probably, due to his skeletal bag of bones like characteristics, just doesn't seem to fit the bill as the person to lead the worlds most stylish club into the CL.

i agree with you tmwnn!,i still feel Berba gonna go :(

Berba's stayin..

not sure on Crouchy...

Harry next time you're over give me a shout and we'll meet up for a pint..

David Villa ?!...we are more likely to see Ricky Villa playing for us next season.
I fear Berbs will, Bent will stay (give him a chance I say) and two metre Peter will join to teach Keano robotic moves to accompany his BAGA level 1 cartwheel and gunslinger celebration thang

What puzzles me most is that Ramos reportedly sees Crouch 'as someone who can occupy the role of Dimitar Berbatov', if Berbatov packs his bags. So says Guillem Balague.

But I struggle to see Crouch and Berbatov as like-for-like players. Berbatov may have grown a bit languid over the last season, but he still has an ability for explosive play, unlike Mr C.

Aesthetically, Spindleshanks doesn't FEEL right for the new-look Spurs. I suppose he has plenty of big-game experience, but he doesn't fit my expectations of an attractive Spurs.

But my expectations count for little. Personally, I'd like to see a squad of Elle Macphersons. Yes, we'd be bottom of the table, but we'd play attractive football and the kit would be a tease. Plus, Elle is 6'0" tall, so she'd be good in the air. Who needs Crouch?

hope u r Rite! BD

Is Berba still a Spurs player then? :-(
Crouch - not for me.
Bent, Keane, Pekhart and a.n.other; probably some 15 million quid striker no-one has yet named.
Good point someone made about Alnwyk; deserves a chance as back up.

coys

i hope we get rid of Bent!! he not worth £94,669 £4,922,775 witch puts him in at number 19th in top earners in world football !!!.
Pfft 4.5 million for sitting on the bench, what a rip off. that's criminal!!!i can not believe spurs are paying him that sort wage :(
can have me for lot less :)

i'd prefer Crouch to Bent..

wouldn't mind getting a decent look at Pekhart.. although i won't be holding my breath..

Alnwick is a small town in Northumberland with historical connections to Sir Henry Percy - also known as Harry Hotspur.

It is fitting, therefore, that one Ben Alnwick should play for Tottenham Hotspur. The coincidence is too good to resist.

Regrettably, I cannot find any evidence from historical sources that Sir Henry Percy could actually catch a ball.

I hope that is not also a coincidence.

Is a Keane Bent/Keane Crouch thing so bad fellas? Obviously would like Berbs to stay but if our midfield weigh in with a few and improve the supply, I think even if he goes we'll stay up

By the way, let's not forget we sold Crouch to QPR for 50K about 9 years ago; ironic to buy him back for 10 million quid. Sound economic sense; must be a record I'd say!!

On Sorensen - hardly set the world alight at the monkey hangers and Villa did he? Nowhere near good enough. A number 2 keeper should be challenging to be the number 1 keeper; he wouldn't. What about Cudicini at Chavski instead?

coys

same kind of scenario with Bent.. only the other way around..

Crouch is better but as long as Berba stays we may as well persevere with Bent considering what we've paid for him and what we're paying him every week..

Big B. After due consideration I think your offer is one Danny and the Dame should consider.


You can't be any worse than Bent and think of the money we'd save. That is unless the cost of tailor made shirts became exorbitant.

Totally off topic I know, but I was just watching a program called Last Comic Standing and there was an English comedian on there called Paul Foot. Now am I going mental, or is this the BEST Berba lookalike ever?

Check it out
LINK

BERBATOV WILL NOT BE A SPURS PLAYER NEXT SEASON! There.

yes, but we could get paul foot and trick the other teams into believing we have kept berba : )

Yup, that's Berba. Moody s*ds, those comedians. One moment they're on a high, making you laugh and telling you how happy they are to be with you; the next they want to leave your club.

It's Berbatov and Dantchev - like Morecambe and Wise - with Dantchev the feed.

Surely, Berbs and Dantch are more like Pete and Dud ?
