Jermaine JenasHas 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 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 recordSIGN - 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 againPROMOTE - 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.

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, HuttonBUY- 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

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

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.

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

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)

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.

Alain Didier Zokora-Déguy (born on 14 December 1980 in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire) is an Ivorian footballer who plays the position of midfielder. He joined the La Liga team Sevilla FC in the summer of 2009. Zokora plays in a defensive role and is a strong tactical player in the middle of the park. He has not scored an outfield goal in seven and a half years.

ya he is one of the /least/ tactically sound defensive midfielders to have played at that level
― no xmas for jonchaies (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 17 May 2011 00:17 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe he plays in the andalucian u-11 park football league, in which case his strength and tactical insight are probably above average

his one talent was running with the ball
That's not even a relevant talent ffs.
He passed/shot like he had shovels for feet, on the wrong feet
Awful, awful player. Even with a pass completion of 12% palacios is so much better.

Think the Parker signing is going to happen whatever and I think he'll add balance to our midfield. Sandro/Parker/Modders or Parker/Modders/Thudd depending who we're playing is potentially very tasty in the middle of the park.

i agree, would love to see a 4-3-3 played at some point with one of those midfields. for strikers, there has been a lot of news about Osvaldo, from Espanyol, don't know much about him, but hope spurs get someone young that can develop with the young midfield. plus maybe a veteran like klose. wonder if lukas podolski is possible. don't know why he has never been able to score for a club since leaving Koln the first time, but his international scoring record is great. maybe put him, klose, and van der vaart in front of that midfield.

What does a Premier League footballer do when a stranger admires his £36,000 watch? Trades him for his cheap watch, apparently.
A lucky nightclub waiter had the chance encounter with Tottenham’s Vedran Corluka, who must have been well on it at the time, and after admiring the defender’s diamond-encrusted Hublot watch, the star handed it over.
Corluka didn’t walk away completely empty-handed from the Whisky Mist in Mayfair, central London, however, as the waiter handed over his £150 Seiko in exchange.
A source close to The Sun newspaper said: "Charlie (Corluka’s club nickname) took it off and handed it to him. Then he spotted the waiter's watch and said he liked it. He said, 'Let's swap'.
“The waiter thought he was joking. Charlie's a lovely bloke and always polite."
