Haha I think that signing is a pretty safe bet man, no need to be so drearyI really hope you are right Toby, but unless Spurs sign another striker to help H.K. up front I can't see where our goals are going to come from.

Ha ha, this is a brilliant comment. Playing for Spurs must be like working for a horridly sluggish bureaucracy. You arrive full of enthusiasm, before getting ground down and crushed by collective apathy.Poor guy, when's he gonna realize it won't happen and stop caring?
brilliant comment. Another way of saying the same thing is that what separates good players from great ones is usually not some physical difference but a mental one.Half of the game is mentality. Why do you think we have cleared out negative deadwood. Many were fine players. It is not just about the system. Poch is instilling a belief and a mentality. You win things with kids when they will try for each other and the club. That is what we are building. Toby is the added bite and experience.
I for one reckon we're gonna surprise a few people. This team has bedded down together and the first eleven is pretty much the same. Utd have spent loads and have a new midfield to gel. Liverpool have invested and brought in many as well. Who is to say they'll settle well.
11 vs 11. On their day every team can pull of a result. Consistency is the key. Live in hope. Audere es facere etc.
Whenever I think about the possibility of a top four finish next season I always ask myself which of the current top four will realistically lose out to make way for us ? In other words, which of them are we going to be better/ more consistent than? I find it hard to see any of them quite honestly, and I wonder if a realistic target is another scrap for 5th with Liverpool. Maybe that's our level at this time.
There's always a gaping wound in our squad somewhere. The striker problem has been around since Berbatov left!
i personally am sick of this obsession with the TOP FOUR. Since HR left, we have been a team with no identity and no clear sense of how it wants to play (which has not been helped by the different styles of managers we have had). I would settle for a team with a clear identity, personality and style of play that we can be proud of as a starting point. I think getting rid of players that don't fit into our manager's philisophy and getting in those that do is a good starting point so long may that continue. In terms of targets, I think maintaining top 6 and a good run or possibly winning a cup is about right at this stage.
