The gulf between the traditions of Barcelona, Madrid, Inter, and United and us is enormous. Players know that playing there is something special, it is the ultimate validation for a life dedicated to football. Yes, Spurs have a tradition as well, but our tradition is important to us only. Is...
This isn't even remotely true. They have a number of multimillion euro signings. A lot of their starting eleven was bought for significant money. The arrogance that Spurs fans show towards Shakhtar is to be expected I guess. They are in reality a very good side, probably one of the top 30 or...
Really is pathetic when your club captain pushes on week after week through immense pain, holds the opposition to half chances and eventually a clean sheet. Absolute disgrace to have a player like that suit up.
If you guys think that Redknapp wouldn't want Arshavin for a second you are crazy. He'll be on the first flight to Moscow, dodgy briefcase in hand, if he thinks there is any way to convince Arshavin to come. I'm sure that we'll also sign a lean mean DM in January so I think all this hand...
No way stoke would sell him for 3 million at this rate he might just be able to keep them up. No one in the world would match Stoke's evaluation which would have to be 10 mil+.
I would have loved to have had him back a week ago, but I feel like Redknapp would flip out if Arnesen returned. So I'll go with a no for stability's sake.
It's not like Arsenal played us off the park either though. 2 goals from badly defended set pieces. A goal gifted to them. They really created only one goal from open play. After our recent run of form I would never expect to go into the emirates and play Arsenal (Which I'll begrudgingly...
Muntari, Krankjar, and Diarra are 3 players who Redknapp brought in at around that price bracket and all 3 are excellent players. Muntari and Diarra especially so. Redknapp managed to put that whole Portsmouth team together on a rather limited transfer budget (I understand that he paid high...
Also want to point out that we got double Bent's fee for Berbatov. Not that I'm happy with that exchange, its not like we bought Bent for 16 and then sold Berbatov for 20. I'd rather have Bent than Keane (Mainly because of their ages) for what it's worth.
If this had ended at 5-1 or something like it looked like early in the second half we would be in very big trouble. Primarily because the fans would have been very negative this weekend and Redknapp would already be feeling the pressure. Our two most important summer signings: Bentley and...
The academy is much much better than it used to be, they are routinely winning youth tournaments now. Every window we bring 2 or 3 very highly rated youth players into the academy. Just this summer we signed 3 very promising youngsters in Italy U-17 goalie Mirko Ranieri, Belgian starlet...
Cambell is cover plain and simple. Would you dolts rather have gone for a Rasiak-like panic signing such as Heskey for a substantial fee + wages? Plus then we'd be stuck with that player for a fair bit of time and be forced to sell for a loss when we decided to upgrade the position. It is far...
This isn't true at all, United wanted him last year too. Yet he stayed and was by far the best player in a dismal team.
I can't understand this mindset that once we sell our best player the team will get better. How is Berbatov unsettling the team? We already know that he is a loner and...
