Joe Hart

I think we should keep Robbo, other than last season he has been blinding. The press and fans that come on here and say he should go are the things that mess his confidence. Get it back and he is one of the best in the premier league. Even last season ppl forget too quick the save he made in the dyin seconds of the cup final. Get a good keeping coach on him and englaands number 1 england englands number 1 will ring round out theatre of dreams COYS!!!!

Not for me Harry boy. We need a new Jennings, we've already got a fat Hart in goal now!!

i dont think we can risk it to be honest... sticking with robinson = risk, signing joe hart regardless of this seasons form as our number 1 is also a big risk... we need quality and experience.

fuck it lets just pull jennings out of retirement!
lol

nah serious im a bit baffled as to why we havent tried for carson as he clearly isnt going to villa?

Surely he'll be a number two for now. I'd be happy to have him onboard, but not if he's more than £8m. We need a 1st choice keeper aswell though. Any news on Gomes? Or is it just a case of an old story repeating itself in the press?

Who when on top for has more quality and passion and love for our club than robbo? did he moan once about being dropped? no he juat said he wanted to get his head down and get back in the team he loves to help the lads.

no what we need is an experienced goalkeepeer like gomez or possibly coupet, not some dribbler just out of the pram. oh and he is also £10m a very very heft fee for his services rather spend £9m on gomez
oh by the way modric was world class against germany

NO NO NO - Gomes please!

danny hotspur-bet i love spurs more than Robbo,shall i play in goal? i commend his love for spurs,but he aint good enough and makes the defence panicky,whether its confidence,coach or whatever i don't care tbh,if you cost us goals you're gone,no room for sentiment here

sorry forgot what the article was about.Hart-watching England the other week he just looked like a younger Robbo/James, panicky,can't deal with crosses i've come to decide all english keepers are crap these days n thats that .so thanks but no thanks

I live in Scotland and all my mates rave about Boruc. After watching him last night id have to agree; he's excellent, plus a bit mental.

for the record i think the only bit of the story that is true is the bit that says he don't like the deal he's been offered ,so link him with us(first name on any agents list)add a bit of pressure and hey presto a new improved deal is on the table. its all bollocks

I cant believe im the only one who's noticed the problem. When did Robbo's form start to dip? when we sold who? Thats right, Michael Carrick. Same Centre backs, in fact weve got 2 top class ones and dawson who isnt far behind but Robbo's form dipped when we sold Carrick. Im not suggesting that he misses his mate and cant play without him because its clearly not that. He needs a good holding midfielder to sit in front of his centre backs and help defend and i know everyone says this but it is the reason. look at all the top sides, they all have a good holding player, hense y the dont concede like we do! Bring in a holding midfielder that isnt Zokora and Robbo will be okay again as will the centre backs

Robinson has been let down by the club as well. No goal keeping coach for a large chunk of last season and it has to be said that the previous coach did not exactly prove to be any good.
Robbo will get his confidence back given the chance and a good coach can teach hit to command the area. But a capable keeper to make him work is just as important and Hart may fit the bill.
I was very sad (and surprised) to see Cerny go as I felt he had earn't a longer stay at the Lane. The defense also has to take a large share of the blame.

we did have a goalkeeping coach in Perry Suckling! robinson has seriously just lost it..... i hope he can find it again but its unlikely i think its now a case of down for him i hate to say it but he is a liability

I love Robbo, I really do. As much as he caused my friends and I no end of grief last season and to some extent the season before.

His reaction saves are second-to-none and before the confidence crisis his decision making was to be applauded. His rapport with the fans has always been great.

BUT

When you look at the top class keepers in the premiership alone you just know that he isn't in the same league as them. Watching Van Der Sar for Holland was like buying a shitbox Fiesta for your first car only to watch the prick down the road zoom by in his TVR spraying you with mud in the process.

The guy is getting on now but he is just GOOD. Really good. Robinson, in comparison, is not. Really...not...

I genuinely think that Joe, had the support of defensively minded team last year and that worked in his favour. We will however will be up and down the pitch more often than Kerry Katona checks into rehab and the lad could be left exposed.

The case for the defense is that Man City weren't that awe-inspiring in the centre of the park and the lad did stop a lot of chances, so he must be all right.

While there isn't a need for another unpolished diamond at the lane, I feel the club is going about this the right way as if just 2/3 of all the young players we buy to turn out to be great players that will be the way we push into the top 4, not through a massive outlay of cash, as the only thing that will bring will be players who value money more than football ala Lucas Neil. I know that most player are greedy but there still a breed that just love playing and these are people that THFC need to have to progress.

i think we should be going for some experienced hands regardless of age.... look at van der sar for example! at the end of the day a good keeper is hard to come by i appreciate that but we need it.... robinson maybe believed a bit of his own hype?

this doesn't look good. too many youngsters signed or in the picture recently. i for 1 think we need more experience, at least 1 in each position. attack - keane/ berba, midfield - jenus? damn!!, defence - woody/king, GK - robbo? damnx2!! talented youngster without proper guidance from oldtimers will turn out to be crap. y is levy so reluctant to sign some1 over 27? does wanker's desire for young kids has rubbed-off to him?

i think it may of... its one thing planning for the future but what about now? if we become a club full of youngsters and we dont perform now the youngsters when coming to fruitition will want to move on... its the way sadly football is now working.

lets build for now and the next 3 seasons thats the way forward in my eyes....

Harry's right, what keeper would want to come to Spurs, knowing that if the make one mistake everyones going to be on their back, straight away.
For Robbo, I blame the England fans. His from started to dip when he missed Nevilles back pass, and it bobbled over his foot.
How was Robbo ment to stop that? he was in mid swing, being closed down, he didn't have a chance.
Yet England cant just admit they lose to Croatia because theyr'e shit, they had to find a reason that they lost, and the blame fell on Robbo.
If I was Ramos, I would give Robbo the summer off, let him get his head right, and then play him, and stand by him.
Before the FA cup final it was showing David James, and how he put all his mistaked behind him and got his confidence back by going to see a sports psychologist. Thats what we need to do with Robbo! James has had the best season of his career!
COYS!

James? Is that David James writing about himself? Did his sports psychologist suggest that he heap more praise on himself?



David James made some stupid mistakes as well last
season . I remember watching one particularly funny mix up with Arse-Sol near the end of the season (v. Man City?).

Robbo is crap and we need a foriegn keeper. English players have become crap in general they've no bottle and big heads. We let Amelia slip through our fingers. We just need a complete keeper not just a shot stopper like Robbos fat arse is.

I'm sure Ramos will have everything sorted by August and Robbo will either be warming half the bench here or flapping at numerous crosses week in week out else were.

sorry, but for me robbo has to go.
always shakey, I dont care what anyone says, my mind is made up. he is ruined.
sick of seeing slow grass cutters bobble in from the edge of the box. holding man or not, he just aint got the confidence he had and its showing now signs of coming back.
forget hart too. waste of money, big risk.
gomes is the dogs wotsits and anyone who so how he hyped the home fans in Eindhoven during the shoot out will tell u, take his save from malbranque in injury time of the same game. made 2 or 3 excellent stops at the lane also, any dutch fan i have spoken too say he keeps Eindhoven alive.

sign him up rapido - please.

harry, is there any truth in the gomes stories?? I hope its a case of no smoke without fire and all that and not just papertalk.

please advise asap!

i don't wont hart either its big NO from me!.

what happen to Vinny any one??

Gomes is a MONSTER inside his fucking area..
He was basically the difference between us and PSV and the fact that we missed pen and the effect We couldn't create anything from corners as Gomes would catch or punch every fucking ball... compared to x england NUMBER 1 Robbo who has big fuck off cement bags tied to his feet!..

Robinson at his best is a great shot stopper, he has never been great at catching anything, he is hopeless with crosses, he never knows when to leave his line and has no idea how to stop a penalty other than diving early to help the penalty taker. He never has been a commanding presence in the penalty area and to blame his poor form on anyone other than him when Jol and Maclaren gave him so much support is just bollocks.

If we want to be top four we need to get real and get a real keeper with experience.

How much better would we have done in the last two seasons if we had David James in goal ?

Watch the inevitable. Robbo will be sold as the club and fans have lost confidence. Whatever club are fortunate enough to snap him up will watch a once was great become great again. He isnt Richard Wright, a few mistakes and we all dumped on him, and thats what he struggled with psychologically, always second guessing his instincts. He needs to move to recover, cause you lot wont lay off his back for just a few months. He will arrive at a shiny new stadium as a player reborn. just watch.

You guys also forget Englands number one number two, Bring in Cudicini and we will be just fine

Harry - to continue your 10cc theme... I'm Not In Love with this move and it almost Makes Me Wanna Cry. Good Godley and Creme, can we not just find and sign a class keeper? C'mon Commoli. Hart is a fine prospect, but so is Alnwick. Agree with others here that Spurs need more than just a shot stopper, they need a strong character in goal -- someone vocal who will hold his defenders to account, and who will not lose confidence following an inevitable blunder.

Just watched the Italy-Romania game, and if you ever needed a reason to buy a top class keeper, you should have watched 2 fine stoppers on show. Even though he must be 60 now (well he looks it anyway) Buffon was excellent as was the Romanian Lobont. Naturally gifted keepers, and technically sound. Shot stopping, commanding on crosses, and bossing their boxes.

That's exactly the calibre of keeper we need for Dan & the Dame to bring to WHL. It's not Robbo unfortunately. Gomes or Boruc would do nicely thanks.

Just so you know harry, proper.

He isnt Richard Wright, a few mistakes and we all dumped on him, and thats what he struggled with psychologically,

Pokey. What are you talking about ? He lost form a long time ago and for months afterwards the crowd continued to support him unless you think that singing "Englands number one" put him off.

Buffon is world class! we got two hopes of
getting HIM Bob hope and NO HOPE!!:(

I like Robbo, but I don't think we can afford another "Give X one more chance" season. After the cash sunk into the team the past three seasons, it's put up or shut up time now.

When Jussi was out of contract, I would have even liked to have seen a move for him. But, I'll be happiest when Given or Octopus Gomez is between the sticks grabbing and fondling more balls than Glitter in a sauna.

Nunchuks.

Big boys don't cry. Big boys don't cry. Big boys don't cry...

For sure, perhaps I should reiterate It was the Tabloids, and the general Stigma and hype around his failures that broke his confidence. But i have full faith that the Robbo of two seasons ago will return, just not until he gets a fresh lease of life.

Harry, would you mind if I plugged the official Spurs pennant signed by all the Carling Cup winning squad that I'm auctioning on ebay for charity? I don't know whether you received my email but as the auction ends tomorrow and you've not replied I thought I'd take my chance by adding a post on here. Anyone who is interested, please go to ebay.co.uk and search for "spurs pennant". 100% of the money raised is going to ME Research UK. Bidding ends on saturday 14 June at 17.00 BST. Thanks.

whos joe hart?

Daniel, do you work for the Daily Mail, mate? Only kiddin'.

He's Tone's brother

Pokey Robbo has been crap since the 06 World Cup. He got hyped up to no end before that tournament as being the next big thing in goalkeepers, but with everyone behind him and 100% support from a nation he showed what he really was an average mistake prone keeper. Robbo will never be a top quality keeper he doesn't have it in him. He's dodgy at the best of times. I don't care who we get in goal as long as he's not English and not young. We need a complete goalkeeper or we'll never break the top 4.

"We need a complete goalkeeper or we'll never break the top 4."


Word.



Totally agree. The 'one for the future' cobblers ought NEVER be applied to the goalie requirements of a club SO ropey at the back like us. We need to go out and poach a decent goalie who can do the task and stop mucking around. Sod England. Give'em Calamity. He can cope with the shite they'll throw at him. We need to just go out and buy Cheatski's number 2 or Big Brad The Penalty Stopper!

Rob Apologies but your mail went into my junk thing...Let's see what can be done...

Good article Harry, well i really hope that we bring a decent Goalkeeper that isn't scared of going into anyone - perhaps John Terry would do - in my opinion the 'brazilian octopus' would be an excellent addition as will Hart. Robinson really needs to go, he may have been a fan favourite at one point, but to continue to have this status you have to keep pleasing the fans and even when he has a good game(which is rare), the next games he messes it up. So i hope we bring in a decent Goalkeeper and perhaps a GK coming through the ranks of any club perhaps Forster or that Viviano bloke whos been in the papers. And someone that knows how to save a penalty.

whos Tone?

Who is Tone?? For anyone under 30 years old, he was only the greatest artist that ever lived, or was that his small brown friend ?

Adam, cheers and welcome.

Grazza you got me!

I don't think we should sell Robbo. He will be back to his best, but should be our number two.
