king woodgate write-offs
Gallas not as good as has been painted, though vital this past while tbf. Not getting younger.

Have always liked kaboul. Bassong can be anywhere between great and a total nightmare. Both good second choice options.

Dawson pretty inarguably the future

Khumalo i dont know much about tbh.

interested to know whats happened all the midfield talent, yr obikas and the like, that came in in one tranche there a few years back.

the '' key on my keybord is not working (darraghmac), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 19:50 (thirteen years ago) link

obika's a striker, iirc.
you mean dean parrett and john bostock? they are both still 19, but have stalled recently it seems. harry kane seems to be best bet along with caulker.

mizzell, Tuesday, 22 March 2011 19:56 (thirteen years ago) link

bostock looked a genuine prospect alright.

dean parrett update

Midfielder Dean was making his home debut for Charlton against high-flying Southampton at the Valley, who took the lead through Radhi Jaidi on 64 minutes.

But Dean capped a Man of the Match display with a sublime chipped through-ball for Bradley Wright-Phillips to equalise four minutes from time.

The 19-year-old was substituted and replaced by former Spur Gary Doherty soon after to a great ovation from the Charlton faithful.

I would quite happily take the Drog for one season and that's the only one of those three Chelsea strikers that's even remotely plausible, and even then so not gonna happen.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 18:51 (thirteen years ago) link

Three Chelsea signings even.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 18:52 (thirteen years ago) link

how much would one season of drog cost?

How many games would he play?

L king, but up front, twice as pricey, and disruptive.

would expect a gooner to empathise with that tbph but there you go eh

Just getting them in quick before Gomes has the game of his life against us to make up for it.

James Mitchell, Thursday, 14 April 2011 14:05 (thirteen years ago) link

nah not gonna happen, we've not much hope of building up a head of steam now.

Tho iirc he made the difference last year after rvp came on.

the salmon of procrastination (darraghmac), Thursday, 14 April 2011 14:10 (thirteen years ago) link

We'd need to shoot from outside the box, so it's never going to happen. And every keeper has the game of their life against us. Even Paul Robinson.

James Mitchell, Thursday, 14 April 2011 14:12 (thirteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

lock this thread, re-open the old one. there are only three big clubs in england, the ones that score phantom goals and can't ever have their centre halves sent off. everyone else makes up the numbers.

So seveir, no more beir (darraghmac), Sunday, 1 May 2011 14:43 (thirteen years ago) link

heh

pandemic, Sunday, 1 May 2011 15:26 (thirteen years ago) link

Or change the thread title to 'WE THOUGHT TOTTENHAM WERE A BIG CLUB FOR 11 MONTHS, WE WERE WRONG'.

James Mitchell, Sunday, 1 May 2011 15:42 (thirteen years ago) link

you'd think with spurs having spent 6000 billion in the last few years they'd have bribed some refs and got more than one cl jaunt out of it.

Will.Have.Known (Local Garda), Sunday, 1 May 2011 23:40 (thirteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

While the priority will be looking for new arrivals, Redknapp knows he has some big decisions to make in terms of what happens with a number of his squad who have failed to come up to scratch this season.

None of his three strikers - Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe or Roman Pavlyuchenko - have impressed

fuck this for accepted narrative bullshit

Rafael Van der Vaart 35 14
Roman Pavlyuchenko 37 12
Gareth Bale 40 11
Peter Crouch 44 11
Jermain Defoe 28 8

pav's 37 appearances includes 13 sub appearances, as far as i can work out.

Britain, the 51sb State (darraghmac), Monday, 16 May 2011 16:45 (thirteen years ago) link

You'd have to be very charitable to say that Pavlyuchenko has "impressed" this season really.

Matt DC, Monday, 16 May 2011 16:46 (thirteen years ago) link

scoring rate stands up, this season and throughout his time with us.

and his general play far outshines crouch/defoe imo (though i'd have to acknowledge vdv's handy knack of being in the right place to benefit from crouch's shit headers)

Britain, the 51sb State (darraghmac), Monday, 16 May 2011 16:50 (thirteen years ago) link

ha just found this. shit so far

i mean, alan hutton 'keep' kyle walker 'season long loan' stfu mate

Britain, the 51sb State (darraghmac), Monday, 16 May 2011 16:52 (thirteen years ago) link

Jermaine Jenas
Has to be rated as one of the worst players in the Premier League. Every time he plays Spurs lose due to his lack of ability to read the game. He should be playing Championship football next season.
Verdict: Ditch

i forgive u

Britain, the 51sb State (darraghmac), Monday, 16 May 2011 16:54 (thirteen years ago) link

i mean, alan hutton 'keep' kyle walker 'season long loan' stfu mate

Also Corluka 'ditch'.

Matt DC, Monday, 16 May 2011 16:55 (thirteen years ago) link

well yeah!

corluka, walker as the rb options next season looks more than a good mix to me.

Palacios, troubling. I'd say rid but then there was the spell last year when he was brilliant.

Britain, the 51sb State (darraghmac), Monday, 16 May 2011 17:00 (thirteen years ago) link

Anyway, I'm thinking:

SELL - Gomes, Bentley, Jenas, Keane, Crouch, Pavlyuchenko, Dos Santos, Hutton, maybe Bassong but knowing our defensive injury record
SIGN - A goalkeeper, at least two big strikers, a left-back to put pressure on BAE and to ensure we never have to play Danny Rose there again
PROMOTE - Walker, maybe Caulker to the squad, dunno what's happened to Bostock but I assume he's not gonna make it

Would keep Kranjcar and play him more often, Palacios as a squad player but behind Sandro in the pecking order.

I'd kinda like a right midfielder with more penetration, Lennon is exciting but inconsistent and come on we're still occasionally playing Jenas there.

Matt DC, Monday, 16 May 2011 17:02 (thirteen years ago) link

How much deadwood can we get away with flogging to QPR I wonder?

Matt DC, Monday, 16 May 2011 17:03 (thirteen years ago) link

SELL- Gomes, Bentley, Keane, Jenas, Crouch, Dos Santos, Hutton
BUY- Everyone you said, and a first team centre-half (I'd keep Bassong, I don't think he's as bad a player as he's looked all season)
PROMOTE- Walker, definitely. You'd know more about the others.

Random- Keep Kranjcar, Palacios, Pienaar as 3/4 of our 2nd midfield- it's not like we don't get injuries or need to refresh things FFS Arry). Agree completely that a new right winger is needed to make up that quartet.

Britain, the 51sb State (darraghmac), Monday, 16 May 2011 17:12 (thirteen years ago) link

i do think we could be the equivalent of QPR's one stop shop, if you look at that first line.

Britain, the 51sb State (darraghmac), Monday, 16 May 2011 17:13 (thirteen years ago) link

is there a lower EPL striker you'd bank on to improve us, or would you rather go abroad? Not that our hitrate is inspired with either option.

Rodallega, Demba Ba, Odemwingie, might all be good options i think

Britain, the 51sb State (darraghmac), Monday, 16 May 2011 17:18 (thirteen years ago) link

wow

this site is the absolute balls

http://www.imscouting.com/reports-generator3/?id=40&t=601&p1=0&p2=100&p3=0&p4=10#rep

anyway ^ spurs players' minutes-per-goal this season

Britain, the 51sb State (darraghmac), Monday, 16 May 2011 17:23 (thirteen years ago) link

I missed Gio dos Santos's first spell in England but he's been excellent for Santander imo. Is he not a good match for the Prem style-of-play wise or is it that his relationship with Redknapp is beyond repair?

boxall, Monday, 16 May 2011 17:26 (thirteen years ago) link

I wouldn't say no to any of them as squad players per se, same with Gyan, but I don't think any of them are exactly The Answer.

Matt DC, Monday, 16 May 2011 17:26 (thirteen years ago) link

it's both at this stage, but for the record i didn't think he was as bad/uninterested as his performances were painted in his first spell

Britain, the 51sb State (darraghmac), Monday, 16 May 2011 17:27 (thirteen years ago) link

that minutes-per-goal for the league as a whole (minimum 300 mins played)

http://www.imscouting.com/reports-generator3/?id=40&l=5304&p1=0&p2=300&p3=0&p4=10#rep

ie, chelsea have a more effective player than hernandez already sorted

Britain, the 51sb State (darraghmac), Monday, 16 May 2011 17:28 (thirteen years ago) link

i'm creating another thread for that site, it's awesome

Britain, the 51sb State (darraghmac), Monday, 16 May 2011 17:29 (thirteen years ago) link

Might as well sell Dos Santos, with the number of wide players we've got he's never going to get near our team long enough to either adapt to the Premiership or for us to say for sure that he's a failure.

Matt DC, Monday, 16 May 2011 17:30 (thirteen years ago) link

would definitely rather keep kranjcar for the vdv/bale/modric cover than dos santos

jesus when you think that niko covers three first team positions to such a high standard (and for players that are injured the whole time) it's fucking criminal he's leaving due to lack of game time.

Britain, the 51sb State (darraghmac), Monday, 16 May 2011 17:34 (thirteen years ago) link


Rafael Van Der Vaart Tottenham Hotspur 2154 13 7 107.7
Roman Pavlyuchenko Tottenham Hotspur 1476 8 4 123.0
Niko Kranjcar Tottenham Hotspur 359 2 0 179.5
Peter Crouch Tottenham Hotspur 1872 4 6 187.2
Jermain Defoe Tottenham Hotspur 1388 4 2 231.3

Gareth Bale Tottenham Hotspur 2362 5 1 393.7
Luka Modric Tottenham Hotspur 2620 3 2 524.0
Alan Hutton Tottenham Hotspur 1677 2 1 559.0

goals/assists per minute for the season

drop-off in effectiveness after crouch (CROUCH FFS) is staggering. Bale I can't slag, he deserves better strikers at the end of his delivery, but Modric def. needs to add some more fional product

Britain, the 51sb State (darraghmac), Monday, 16 May 2011 18:20 (thirteen years ago) link

Lennon too, tho all three of those last mentioned have got serious roles in the team in moving the ball at pace (tho the lack of intelligent movement from the likes of crouch/defoe tends to see that wasted too)

Britain, the 51sb State (darraghmac), Monday, 16 May 2011 18:23 (thirteen years ago) link

i was having this exact convo with a spurs chum and i gotta admit i wasnt comfortable with what i found myself saying

r|t|c, Monday, 16 May 2011 21:50 (thirteen years ago) link

sign: sticklebrick off ajax (quickly), parker (sandro or no sandro this is inevitable so may as well pretend it was your idea. fyi i think he's necessary), and that marin bloke off werder bremen. big striker? who knows, buy a ticket in the llorente, hulk and lukaku lotteries and cross ur fingers i guess.

sell: lennon cos he is a lazy cunt who cant even do the one thing he does any more and liverpool might still pay £15m. (walker can totally do his job fine even if there's no replacement). the usual blokes too. keep charlie.
