This is getting boring isnt it? but do you know what, sell modric! yes he has great awareness, vision, technical ability but he has a weak shot, never scores and goes missing in too many games. give his role to vdv then play 2 up front!
cant wait to see how much robin van persie will go for!

Yes I do believe it was Redknapp who chose Saha, Fridel and Nelson. I agree he may have been limited to the amounts of money he was allowed to spend but why choose players so old? Why aren’t our scouts finding young players with promise. I am sure those players are about wherever in the world. The problem is Redknapp has no clue and no help spotting talent together with a chairman whose main concern is turning a profit. What confuses me is why he went along with Redknapp in buying these old players and even if they cost nothing you still need to pay them. What makes me laugh though is our motto ‘To dare is to do’ but I think we should change it to To bid but not to do.

Do you honestly believe that Harry decides who is to be bought and sold at Spurs.
I think not, he doesn’t hold the purse strings. He has to make do with what he is given.

You paint a pretty depressing picture about Spurs yet at the end of the day we did finish fourth. In real terms we should have at least finished third which I would think would attract players to the club especially also the way Spurs were acclaimed last year, by various sources, as the club playing the best football. The only thing of concern for me is has Harry Redknapp learnt by the dreadful transfers he made last season. All for the quick fix with no long term plans in place. He needs to stop looking for the bargain, ex premiership players who used to be good but he thinks he can squeeze a bit more out of them. What happened to coaching and bringing through players? He needs a new team of scouts because ours do not seem very good. He needs to bring in scouts that know about foreign players. He also needs to learn about team rotation and stop wearing out the main first team all the time. Redknapp has all these people aroung him like Sherwood, Ferdinand, Bond and Jordan…why? what do they do? We have all those players sitting on the bench who never get a chance…why? If you are not going to play them then get rid of them but at realistic prices. It’s just dead money sitting there. Get rid of Jenas, Bentley, Corluka, Defoe, Dos Santos, Gomez, Bassong, the list is endless. If they are not on Redknapp’s plans then he has to sell them and get a squad who can all contribute. Personally I would still keep Defoe and Dos Santos because they have skill but just are not used as much as they should be. It sounds all gloom and doom but really with a bit of tweaking to the side we could be challaging for the title. Would love to see Dalmiao and Vertonghen bought in and Adebayor retained. Those two strikers would offer a plan A and a plan B but Redknapp just needs to learn how to do this. We need to bring in a talented scouting system able to find gems all over the world because ours are doing nothing. I am not up for changing Redknapp but he needs to learn and focus on the team without any distractions and learn by his past mistakes.

Without CL last year, Spurs made a 21m profit, check skysports transfers on Spurs to confirm. This year we plan on selling fringe players, JJ, Giovani, Bentley etc. In fact it is mentioned that there are eleven fringe players up for grabs, Saha might be joining that list as well. This puts us well in the buying seat and all we need is three extra players. Modic is the only player to mention that a decision will be made after the Euros, the others are commintted to Spurs, because Spurs are a family more than a club. Players tend to stay where they get game time. Let Modic go, he’s not the only creative midfielder in the world. I say we let go of the Gem and take the Diamond.
COYS!

So you fancy youself as a soothsayer do you, it’s deja vous as I seem to recall the same bollocks written last Summer by all and sundry, Spurs fail to make it to the CL and the vultures will be circling to pick at the prized bits from the Spurs bones. Modric will be off Bale will be off Sandro will be off even Kaboul and Dawson. I wont be surprised if the low class in the media start spreading rumours that Kyle Walker is next up on the list. Allied to that, the best players in Europe and the world for that matter wont want to join Spurs because the cant (A) offer CL football and (B) pay low wages. Spurs are not a poor club by any streatch of the imagination, only the eleventh richest in the world. The low class among you have it in your head that Spurs are Blackburn Rovers or Wigan in disguise, under estimate Daniel Levy and it may serve you better to look at Arsenal who under Wenger has been an ever present in the CL but continue to sell their best players to the highest bidder year on year yet they are never labeled in the arse friendly press as a selling club. True, Spurs will miss out on the extra revenue from the CL but once again may I remind you that Spurs are far from poor or undesireable. Time will tell but you’re piecemealing last years story in order to make a new on, boring.
