Firstly, I think it's a disgrace that a man that has been a key factor in turning this club around had to be snuck out of the back door flanked by 8 security guards. He should be proud of what he has done, and without him we wouldnt be able to capture a man of Ramos' reputation.

Anyway, moving on, I think certain players should seriously be looking over their shoulders while others can be excited.

If I was Defoe, Bent, Gardener, Boateng etc etc I would now be thinking ''ok, I have a chance now to show what I can do''. Ramos comes with a reputation of not being bothered about star names. If you're in form you play, if you're not you dont - simple philosophy, but exactly how it should be.

On the flip side, if i was Berbs, Huddlestone, Lennon, Chimbonda, or Zokora I'd be worried. He wont stand for attitudes (Berbs, Chimbo and Lennon) and if you aint good enough you wont play (Lennon, Huddlestone and Zokora).

I have decided now that Huddlestone for me is way off the mark in terms of the quality we need. After 25mins of last nights game there were already signs he was hiding. He rarely moves from the centre circle, he was wasteful in possession, he is weak in tackles and along with Zokora makes our midfield non-existent.

One thing that bugs me is how certain players are scape goats. Stalteri has been slaughtered on here, yet since his time at Spurs, he has made fewer mistakes that have led to goals than Chimbonda. Ramos will soon notice this and will play defenders that can DEFEND.

Anyway, moving forward I think our future is still bright. I believe we need to get rid of the bad eggs like Lennon and the ever decreasing in value Chimbonda, and someone needs to give Berbs a good slapping and explain that United wont want him if his form continues. Has he been snuffed out by defenders or more likely does he just not give a shit about Spurs - if the latter is true then sling your hook mate.
But once Ramos has had a good look at the players with unbias eyes and seen who he likes, he has the capabilities to allow us to play even more attractive football. His sides are renowned for that and I think exciting time slay ahead.

Its just so sad how it all came about.

Martin Jol = :clap:

If Ramos is coming. With our track record, I'll believe it when I see it.

maybe playing Lee at right back might be a better option once bale is back if chimbo continues with his mistakes
