with delpth out and the milner uncertainty, it would be nice to have someone in midfield pretty soon, just so they're on nodding terms with their teammates before kick-off.

Yeah, loaning players from a relegated Hull side is the way to break the top 4.


Do you honestly think that is a realistic target this year? I don't think even MON thinks its possible.


Realistic/possible?  That's a matter of opinion and is certainly asking a lot.  But as for it being a target, it certainly should be and most likely is!

That crocked waste of space john who pissed all over our midfield when he was fit?


When did he last piss over our midfield then?

agreed with this however, i still rate Reo and beleive if not sold he could do a job, remember liverpool last year, he was best player on the pitch!, also Young can play in the centre and he thrives on it so we still have options.... McGeady will hopefully come in and could be very useful but do not forget we have Albrighton who is going to take the big step up in next year or 2 he will be another one to watch.

its just injuries that worry me. i know he likes to chance it but its caught him out before and it only takes someone like petrov getting crocked and we'll look very threadbare indeed.

I take it you weren't at the hull games when he was fit then clampy, or you would have seen?

I agree with Greg, I think probably mon and randy realise that the top 4 is not a realistic target now, when they took over it was but things have changed since then.

We might not like it but the game is all about money and we do very well to hold off the merseysiders and finish top 6.

Are you now trying to become a parody of yourself?

You do know that we were in the battle for 4th up until our 2nd last game of the season, don't you?

In Clampy's defense, he was only fit for about 3 game slast season so pretty easy to miss!

What Hull games were these then? The last time i saw him against us was at home, when he hobbled off after 20 minutes in tears.

Good player but like someone else has said, he's had one injury too many.

I'm a very passionate fan and crave success like we all do, but I don't wear rose tinted specs either- I do not see it as a realistic target and I don't think many fans expect us to break the top 4 either.

Unless there was huge influx of finance this summer then I don't see happening, and I'm
 talking of £100m plus at least!

only because we came back into it with our late season form. the reality was no-one on here thought 4th was more than a faint possibility which was different from the previous seasons

From the Spurs Blog, cant actually see any evidence on Sky itself

Quote
Friday, 16 July 2010
Harry allows Keane to talk with Villa
Sky Sports News "understands that Tottenham Hotspur have given Robbie Keane permission to speak with Aston Villa".

Don't you just love the "understands" bit?

Now that our Harry has finally tied the knot with Daniel, it looks as though our rebuilding "adding one or two new special players" session will commence.

I know I've said this before and it's looked as though I've gotten egg all over my face, but I think exchanging Keane for Carew would be a decent move.

Harry's been ranting on about us deploying a loan striker this coming season. If the Forlan deal doesn't come off, or even if it does, I do believe that big ole' John can do a job for us.

I have prepared myself for the humiliation that is about to follow.....

Hope it's true- robbie keane would be a huge lift to morale and a class player without doubt.

Exchanging Keane for Carew?

I'd want Martin sectioned, let alone replaced if he did that.
