I know the whole new manager and transfers in and out has been done to death, and in numerous different thread this will have been touched on. So I spologise if it seems a bit repetitive, but think it warrants a thread of its own.
With a new Manager sure to arrive in the summer, this presents a massive opportunity for some of what we now class as squad players and deadwood to relaunch their Spurs careers. There is no doubt that we have some talented players who have either not performed or have not been given an opportunity to perform. You only have to see how well the likes of Pienaar has done out on loan to realise what he has to offer us if given a chance. Not 10 mins here and there, but a real opportunity in the team. Rotated with first team players when injuries, suspensions or fatigue hit.
We all know we need some rebuilding work in the summer, and hope that the likes of Caulker & perhaps Naughton can save us a few pounds in the transfer market. We'll also have Huddlestone and Dawson, two England internationals, returning to fitness. But who else, should the likes of Brendan Rogers or David Moyes arrive, might have something to offer us if given a fair crack of the whip.
Gomes - for me he will be moved on. Great shot stopper, but unreliable. Gone
Corluka - at one time the best "defensive" RB in the league, and had a great partnership with Lennon. But there is no arguing with Walker and Corluka wont want to play 2nd fiddle. Gone
Bassong - Formed a 'triffic' partnership with Dawson in season we finished 4th. Has great pace, but surpassed by Kaboul. Has potential. Kaboul Caulker Dawson Bassong next season? Maybe
Bentley - The single biggest waste of money ever. Wonder goal against Arsenal a-side, he's been awful. Too slow, bad attitude. Has to go. Gone
Jenas - Had a pretty good Spurs career, despite fans not completely loving him. Don’t think he is good enough for where we want to be, though perhaps a Moyes type player? Gone
Pienaar - Ryan Tegan let us know Pienaar was a player Harry really wanted. The never really gave him a chance. I think any new Manager would like to retain him. Keep
Kranjcar - Technically superb player but makes VDV look like Aaron Lennon when sprinting. There are better players out there to take his squad place. Gone
Giovani - For me one of the biggest disappointments. When he left Barca Henry said he could go on to become the best player in the world. But quite simply he's been awful. Some fans think he hasn’t been given a chance. I think he doesn’t warrant a chance. Perhaps someone like Rogers could unlock his potential? He's a better player than Dyer at Swansea. For me gone, but perhaps there is a slight chance something could be salvaged from him. Gone
We'll have Carroll, Kane, Townsend, Smith all returning from successful loan spells. We've seen glimpses of Lancaster, heard a lot about Pritchard and Coulibaly…….. And completely given up hope of Bostock coming good.
Be interested to know who others feel about our squad players and who might have something to offer us next season.
