Why wasnt
gomes on the bench
today.....any ideas anybody

Believable4 Unbelievable2

Gomez will be on a flight tomorrow to his former club replaced by a 40 year old whats going on

Agree0 Disagree0

Gomes was a regular liability, one or two clangers will happen to any keeper, 8-10 complete howlers and it's time to call time.

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe to rest him for big games

Crouch had a very weak game today. Couldn't hold onto the ball. So many fouls by him as well. Adebayor will be much better replacement. Parker in place of kran and we have a decent midfield and strike foirce. Defence, we seriously need a cb. Cahill would be my choice.

Still, I'd 8-2 be a gooner Lol

Lots of so called ITKs on twitter believe we have a genuine possibility of getting Kaka on loan.

Top 4 Wannabe

Believable4 Unbelievable11

Ive read ITK of this happenin for a week or 2 now but kaka played and scored for RM today so i would say no move is in the offing for him im afraid...hope im wrong...the shirt sales alone would be great....but not for us i think

Agree0 Disagree0

Why do we want a over the hill player like him.Try and get A Johnston of city and Milner would be another top signing.Two great signings added to Damaio and Samba.If Harry wants parker let him have him but sell Luka and get these plus 1 other striker damned if i know who.Sell pav, crouch,hutton,gio,bentley,bassong,jenas and piennar.Why did we buy him.

Agree0 Disagree0

I would have him in a heart beat

house

Agree0 Disagree0

Judging by his comments after scoring for Real in their win yesterday it doesn't sound like he's going anywhere. Shame he'd be a brilliant signing as his form last season after so long out underlines. He is really a world class talent

Agree0 Disagree0

Why did we buy him @ Piannar. Well said. And yes I did spell his name wrong because he is not worthy of spelling it correct

Agree0 Disagree0

Thats the problem with arry loads of bit part players who never really play just topping up your wage bill and now you cant shift them

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Aug 2011 21:15:24
Levy needs to put in a 28m bid for lavezzi who can play on the right in place of Aaron lennon. He is exactly what we are missing.
Freidel should be dropped as should Lennon and Dawson. Crouch....... Well I can't stand to hear his name.
Azza

Believable6 Unbelievable4

Drop Freidel you must be joking he by far has been our best player so far in the two games and if it were not for at least six top class saves we would have conceded a lot more.

Agree0 Disagree0

Have u lost the plot only for freidel in both manchester games they score cud of bin alot more,it aint freidel the problem is defence

Agree0 Disagree0

Friedel was the only reason we didn't conceed 10 today. Azza, i used to really think highly of your posts, but recently you're sounding really stupid. Davo

Agree0 Disagree0

Azza , dont know who posted last post here mate but it certainly wasnt me Agree with a lot of your posts but not Freidel mate
Davo

Agree0 Disagree0

Drop Freidel and Dawson,you'll make a good manager,what planet you from?Beam me up Scotty

Agree0 Disagree0

Hear me out fella's. You just don't know whether those world class goals scored by City would have been turned into world class saves by gomes. You have to understand that although gomes has made sone blunders there are times when he pulls of some world class match winning saves, which have gone unnoticed because of his previous howlers. Freidel has been sussed out fella's. I'll give you an example. Think back to the utd game when rooney put in a cross and young headed the ball across goal and freidel was left staring. Now I may be wrong but that header by young looked like it was in slowmotion, the ball was in the air for a good 2.5 seconds enough time for freidel to adjust and make a save if needed which luckily wasn't. He did the exact same thing against city with dzeko. Once freidel has made up his mind about which direction he's going to dive there's no changing it. If a balls been hit and is going more central rather then in the corners then of course he's going to save it as shown in both games. The only difference between the two is that freidel is better at handling set pieces because in all other areas in my opinion gomes wins Hands down.
I don't think brad is a bad keeper, I just feel that becAuse of his age he's become less flexible and LesS likely to pull off worldys. I'll put money on it that there will come a time when you'll be crying out for gomes. Mark these words lads. Call me deluded. I don't care fella's.

Azza

Agree0 Disagree0

Granted Dawson has had some poor starting games but he is still a good cb .... As for dropping freidel
Your on drugs

Agree0 Disagree0

Your deluded

Agree0 Disagree0

I will agree with you the fact that gomes
does pull off saves that no keeper has any right to.... however perhaps thinking about it this way.... will dropping gomes for a bit... to make him buck his ideas up and not be sloppy .... ? perhaps this is a motivation tactic... ? {Ed008's Note - Drop all the GK's and start Button!

Agree0 Disagree0

Azza I agree that gomes is better than brad and i think that he could learn alot from freidel and i think that's more about this transfer to get one of the best keepers for set pieces to train up gomes and his world class saves. just a thought and i do think freidel was the right keeper for the job for those games.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wouldnt trust gomez with a bottle of milk in them hands. what a clown

Trust me after today's performance we wont sign a quality player, proven by the link/signing of the spammer reject Parker. Went to the game and to get over run like that was humiliating. VDV injured also or just frustrated with a crap squad you tell me

Believable4 Unbelievable3

28 Aug 2011 16:46:45
On the way home from the game. . . suggest we need at least 2 new defenders and a midfield dynamo plus a strikeq. . . need some backbone to the team

Believable5 Unbelievable3

We need montilivio cahill onouha damiao nilmar and ruiz and maybe ablonglahor (excuse spelling) then we may stand chance of competeing get shot of pav villa crouch palacios stoke hutton villa. Bassong bently to anyone. time to break wage structure too for robben.

Agree0 Disagree0

Harry and Levy , been in a meeting for the last 3 hours. still at the lane.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think we are definitely in need of defenders. Thought kaboul was awful today. Don't like crouch in the side cause all we do is long ball it to him and he's not good enough to do anything with it, ship him. I could tell modric was rusty but I'd be willing to part ways at this point as long as a good replacement is brought in. If we can get Parker for 6m then I think that'd be good. He'll want to play for us and will most likely retire with us and that's good enough value right there. Defoe looked sharp, keep him. We need a world class keeper to, don't think friedel is gonna cut it. Feel like we could have brought some quality in for little value but have missed out on that opportunity, given, steklandburg, and mexes to name a few. I'd go for Cahill, Ireland, moussa sissoko, and a gk.

Agree0 Disagree0

I just got back from that s**t to, and i agree with you 3 days to sort it out

Agree0 Disagree0

You forgot a goalkeeper

Agree0 Disagree0

Friedel will be ok did well at old trafford cud have been worse if not for him. Its the lack of decent cb and dm in front that dont help. Harry never played a ball winner against city. that was a mugs decision.

Leandro Damiao has signed for Tottenham for a fee of R$35m (BRL) which is around £13.5m.

6ft 2ins tall, fast, strong, skillful and effervescent. Surely the total package or is he?

Has managed 22 goals in 25 appearances 2011/12
in addition he created many other goals.

Even scored 15 goals from 27 games 2010/11

Scored a hat-trick in three consecutive games this season.

Gained 6 assists this season in addition to his goals.

Age 21 and the vibes from Brazil are similar to when we saw Pato & Robinho in recent years.

Great in the air and has the height to flourish from the deliveries of Bale, Lennon, Walker, BAE and VDV.

Fantastic news and will provide the fire power upfront with Adebayor to challenge again.

Source? Or is this more horsesh*t

Saw this same post a month ago and it still aint gonna happen

Agree0 Disagree0

Is this genuine?

Agree0 Disagree0

Utter rubbish Where did you get this info?

Agree0 Disagree0

Was that a hope or a true fact, if so where did the information come from?

Agree0 Disagree0

I hope ur rite my friend

sussex yod

Agree0 Disagree0

As much as i wish this where true ... This is utter bulls**t .... : (

Agree0 Disagree0

Its hasnt happened... nice one.

Agree0 Disagree0

If, he signed it would be on the spurs website

Agree0 Disagree0

Would believe it if you actually quoted a legit price.

Agree0 Disagree0

Load of s**t.were after bellamy on a free

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks for your replies, and let me cover a few of your doubts.

1. The deal will be announced on Tuesday as the Spurs legal team finalise the deal.
2. The price is actually alot for a 21 year old kid who has played 1.5 internationals and was dropped in favour of Fred. In addition his experience and success has been limited to the Brazilian league which is hardly comparable with the English Premiership.
3. Compare the £13.5m with Van Der Vaart £8m, Modric £16.5m, Berbatov £10.9m and even Bale £10m. The fee hardly seems cheap does it when the players mentioned above all had raving reviews and much more proven pedigree.

Love the news, doubt the news or whatever tickles your fancy. Leandro Damiao will be playing for Spurs this season, and I believe that he will become a sensation.

Agree0 Disagree0

Completely agree with the last poster until his third point.
van der vaart was a lucky signing (for 8mil anyway) because RM wanted him off the wage-bill and we were literally in the right place at the right time, berbatov had minimal top flight experience coming from a mid-table team in a less than impressive bundesliga at the time, modric's value we paid was pretty fair it was obvious of his class but we signed him from virtually nowhere, and bale.... well he was only 18 when we signed him and i think i'm right in saying he was one of, if not the most, expensive 18 yr olds in history

Agree0 Disagree0

You agree with the last post ie. the original poster.... its Sunday and i can only assume you have a nice old Sunday drink cause that is the only explanationOP knows nothing, FACT

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Aug 2011 16:05:04
Our lack of bite in midfield was evident today. Think we missed a better deal in Barton for free. Now we're going for Parker for £6 mill. Don't get me wrong he's a hungry player with great engine for a 30yr old.

Striker is a must. Bellamy wouldn't be a bad signing but maybe show ambition as a club and pay the asking feedor damiao. Or get Ruiz cos he's a topper

Believable1 Unbelievable7

See this is what i dont get. We sell a player, who bled THFC, could play anywhere on the pitch and put a shift in, could chip in with the odd goal, had a good engine and gave 200% everytime, for absolute peanuts and now are looking to buy a player that is overrated 31 and too expensive for what he is. WTF was we doing selling Jamie O'hara? Im mean Hudd and Kranjcar are way better players........ yeah right...

Agree0 Disagree0

Kranjcar had a good game untill he was removed through injury

Agree0 Disagree0

Quite agree, we misss sandro, and modric asking to be left out, for heavens sake take the 40 million and shore up defence midfield and forward line, modric dident want to play he only gets 80 grand a week. how much money did us poor sucker spurs fans to watch that pile of poo today. go modric and anyone who dosent want to wear the shirt with pride. they say playing the kids gets us a hammering. well ide rather watch them play with passion and heart, than those rich millionaires who turn up and not bother. modric p..s off. u greedy git

Agree0 Disagree0

.........and another thing. If it was so obvious to everybody that our midfield was going to "lack bite" today, why the hell didnt Redknapp stick kaboul into the centre of Midfield and put Bassong into the centre of defence? Ok, Kaboul is no Sandro or Palacios but nor was Nico Thats what seperates the good from the great, a person who is prepared to make a decision and go for it.

Hope levy realises we need to sign some players now after this embarassing defeat.

Believable13 Unbelievable0

28 Aug 2011 14:35:47
Anyone believe that we should be looking at defenders rather than loads of midfielders??

Believable10 Unbelievable2

Agree 100% Who signed Kaboul? Who signed Bassong? Yep, good old "arry".
Maybe we should get somebody else to source a Centre half....
Super Yid

Agree0 Disagree0

Need to get in onouha and cahill get rid of bassong

How s**t do we need to be b4 levy and co pull their fingers out and invest seriously. Get new owners and Carlo ancelotti in now. Same old predictable football being played, crouch hopefully will go so will the deadwood levy gave top contracts to. Mug they are all mugs.

Believable7 Unbelievable2

Well here we go again,levy the poker player stiffs us again.we should have new forwards in ,what do we get a forward who cannot play talk of bellamy what rubbish,what do we get two games and bottom with maybe parker and bellamy and adybeyor building a team for the future.l have been a spurs fan for 50 years l am sick of my team being being considered such a joke,one very very sick fan despair despair.

Agree0 Disagree0

Been saying this for weeeks now and getting slagged for it Why are we buying midfielders , not a new centre back and forward Joke manager , joke team , joke owners Good of Arry to take us back to where we was when he came
Davo

Agree0 Disagree0

Ive supported spurs for 50 years and today was a total and utter discrace. no fight, no idea. no forwards sho are fit to wear the shirt, defenders who cant defend, a midfilder who dosent want to be here. a manager who is so blinkered he thinks we can win the league, and a chairman with short arms and long pockets. top four. looks like if we carry on like today it will be bottom 3. harry go. and take half the team with you.
embarresed fan

To dare is to do mr levy you best act now and fast

Scott Parker - apparently in talks over a move to Tottenham - has been left out of the Hammers squad today.

Believable9 Unbelievable3

28 Aug 2011 12:52:43
Just arriving at WHL, rumour going around that we have signed Bellamy. I told you about Parker talks the day before SSN but this is a bit more in passing.

Believable6 Unbelievable7

28 Aug 2011 10:23:17
Just read rumour thaat if spurs sign a striker pav will be shipped out on loan to glasgow rangers. been in all scottish papers that harry wants to do business with mccoist and would be great for both clubs.
would give your guys winning mentality and give us a few good players. i know the SPL isnt as good as EPL or Champonship but it is a physical league and will toughen up any player also when you have 50,000 fans demanding a win every week you soon hate being defeated. there has been some good players come played in scotland.

Believable0 Unbelievable5

It has be3en in none of the papers up here. This post is obviously from a deluded rangers fan. I would love to see pav play for celtic but lets face it - he is way too good for the spl.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Aug 2011 09:59:34
seen us linked with a loan more for Kaka again and the chavs are set to bid £40m for modric. with all the feedback i fear modric is far to unsettles at the moment and hate to say it but maybe £40m would be better right now. apparently weve got a few scouts over in france atm. i would think Prajic is a good modric replacment.

Believable5 Unbelievable1

What are we supposed to do with £40m in three days? If we cave in now wave bye bye to this season

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Aug 2011 09:11:35
Haven't posted on here for a while but if sources and rumours are true then we could (i said could) be seeing Bellamy and Kaka at the lane soon....the Parker deal is at an advanced stage and i so hope we don't sign 'past it' Joe Cole. Well lets hope we do get the first 2 as i feel it would improve us bigtime as i'm getting a little concerned yet again that another transfer window will pass without signing any major players to help us contend with a top 4th place.

(PS I really hope we don't get spanked by City today)

Believable1 Unbelievable2

28 Aug 2011 07:13:11
Looks like Forlan is off to Inter, another striker we look set to miss out on.

Believable3 Unbelievable4

28 Aug 2011 01:04:41
Could Bellamy be coming to Spurs? I would love it if he did. Adebayor and Bellamy up front would be a fearsome strikeforce.

Believable4 Unbelievable8

What, like they were for man c? is that why they r so desperate to hold on to them?

Agree0 Disagree0

This is the begining of the end. We will have lost all the ground that we made up on the top clubs - it won't be 5 mins before Bellamy is causing unrest, he's done it everywhere I don't know why we didn't buy Barton to throw in to the mix - we'd never finish a game with 11 men. YOU WAIT AND SEE

Agree0 Disagree0

Bellamy is done if he is the class of striker were looking at then were only heading one way and thats down we need a world class striker not a city reject..

Agree0 Disagree0

Clearly, we have been infiltrated by Gooners or something. No way on Gods green Earth would a Spurs supporter,even with only one tenth of his brain functioning, would have posted that drivel Bellamy? More like bellend.

Agree0 Disagree0

The last thing harry needs is that little ned bellamy rocking up at spurs,causes trouble in an empty room

28 Aug 2011 00:11:15
Its rumoured that stoke are closing in on Crouch and Palacios for 20mil, this could be a good sign but are we just dreaming? Mr.Levy Get over to Germany and get Arjen
