Many of Tottenham’s supposed summer transfer targets ply their trade at Portsmouth. The Harry Redknapp link and implications of a new owner and full-time manager at Fratton Park make this logical, although we should perhaps be concentrating our efforts on raiding the relegated clubs.The wisdom of this can obviously be questioned – surely the players in question can’t be that good if they're getting used to the idea of Championship football – but Spurs have a good recent history in this area.Paul Robinson and Aaron Lennon were picked up from Leeds...

Which 3 players will sign?
Posted on 4:45 AM by Unknown
So then, the end of season rumpus is once again on us and it looks as though our manager has started the merry go round all on his own. He's said that he'll need approximately £30 million to spend on the 3 players he's identified to really push on our squad. But he'll also have to sell around 4 players. Let's begin with the players that will be leaving. We believe that Darren Bent & Tom Huddlestone will be sold to Villa in a deal that will bring Gareth Barry to Spurs. But of course, this relies on whether Barry want to move to us in the first...
Spurs nearly did a Newcastle!
Posted on 3:27 AM by Unknown
Looking back at these recent events, I couldn't but help thinking that Newcastle United's plight may have happened to us. At the end of the day, the buck stops with the big guy running the show. It's the Chairman, Chief Executive, Sugar Daddy, etc. who makes the calls, and our very own nearly did a Newcastle on us. Even before a ball had been kicked in the 2007/2008 season, our Chairman was looking over the hill at pastures greener. Martin Jol, the man that had brought us our highest ever Premier League finishes, was cast aside for the next best...

North East FC
Posted on 5:55 AM by Unknown
Tomorrow marks the eve of a troublesome Sunday, for one side in the North East, be it Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, or Hull, will be sucked into clutches of the Championship. If this giant, and oh yes, Newcastle United FC is a giant, is dismissed from the Premier League, it will be catastrophic. We have all been told that Newcastle won't be wearing the Leeds United shirt upon their exit, but just like the Damned United, Newcastle will be spinning crazily out of control. When it comes to sellable assets, Newcastle also finish bottom of the...
Can you see us sinking Liverpool?
Posted on 3:44 AM by Unknown
I have a feeling that we will beat Liverpool on Sunday. After they threw away the title by drawing too many games, I can see Gerrard & co playing like it's a nothing game.My prediction: Liverpool 1-2 Tottenham Hots...

End of season woes as Spurs win again
Posted on 8:37 AM by Unknown
As I watched today's game against City from a pub in sunny Cyprus, I was pretty sure that our players were on holiday to.Defoe opened the scoring with a cheeky back-heeled half-volley, but other than that, we were entirely flat. Tottenham's timing was all over the place. Mislaid passes, no concentration, and whoever is impersonating Robbie Keane should be shot; for Keane was on the pitch, but I assure you, only in body. His spirit is laying on a beach somewhere not too far from me, although his Romario/Bebeto goal-scoring celebration brought...

No signings
Posted on 4:49 AM by Unknown
I have read through a fair few user comments relating to the type of players we need to buy this summer in a bid strengthen our squad.To be completely honest, I feel that we don't need to spend any money on superstar players. The last few games have shown that we have a solid and most importantly, settled side. Why go out and buy high profile players?Our squad could do with some new recruitments, but as a first eleven, we are covered. If the season had started in April, we would be 2nd in the league. I believe that given another few months, our...

Good at Goodison. And bad
Posted on 10:01 AM by Unknown
Harry Redknapp talked of the lessons he learned at Goodison Park during the recent Premier League clash. He might have been referring to the 3-5-2 system he employed or Gareth Bale’s welcome return to form, but I hope it was actually the team’s disappointing mindset that provided food for thought.This seems a little harsh – a goalless draw at fifth place-chasing Everton is creditable, as was our second away clean sheet of the season – but after a good start there seemed to be no appetite to win the game.This is so often the case. We generally start...

"He will sign for Tottenham", says agent
Posted on 3:14 AM by Unknown
French sports newspaper, L'equipe, have stated that Sunderland's loanee, Djibril Cisse, has already agreed a deal to move to Tottenham Hotspur in the close season. "Djibril will not remain at Sunderland after the season has finished. We have an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur for Djibril to sign a 12 month contract. He will sign for Tottenham", stated Ranko Stojic, the French strikers agent. I really hope that this story is rubbish and an attempt to get him moved onto another club. Harry spoke about bringing in one or two great players. Djibril...

Stop this "Top Four" nonsense
Posted on 3:26 AM by Unknown
It seems as though a Spurs player makes a claim every season that we may be good enough to challenge for a Champions League placing. In the run up to the 2007/2008 season, Ledley King made that assumption. 3 months later, Jol got sacked. King's defensive partner, Jonathan Woodgate, made a similar assumption yesterday. I really do wish that our players would stop dreaming of what could be, and focus on the task ahead; namely, Everton away, City at home, and Liverpool away. We are no way near good enough to make the Champions League, even if Harry...

Ryan Mason
Posted on 3:42 AM by Unknown
A product of the Tottenham Hotspur Academy, Ryan Mason, 18, has scored an impressive 39 goals in 47 games (4 games starting on the bench) for the academy. Mason started off in midfield, but was ushered into an attacking midfielder/striker role by Clive Allen after he scored 11 goals in his first full season. Ryan Mason is extremely pacey and has an abundance of skill. We expect him to make several first-team appearances in the coming season, especially in the early League Cup roun...

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar
Posted on 5:25 AM by Unknown
Roman Pavlyuchenko is making all the right noises in an attempt to secure a move away from Tottenham Hotspur this summer. To openly come out and boast that a move to Real Madrid was on the cards in January doesn't sound as though his hearts with us any longer. If Real are still interested, why don't they put their money where their mouth is and sign him, or better yet, accept a swap deal that takes Pavlyuchenko to Real Madrid and brings in their want away Dutch international striker, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. He's apparently ready to throw in the towel...

Players In/Out
Posted on 6:16 AM by Unknown
It's that time again when every player is linked with Tottenham Hotspur, either in a bid to get an improved contract with their current club, or just for some publicity. Rarely are linked players actually signed by us, but we do feel that with Harry Redknapp at the helm, things could be different as we finally have a manager that uses his media connections to his advantage. InsWe believe that Inter's Sully Muntari is a dead cert. He'll settle comfortably with Palacios in the middle of the park. Lille's left sided midfielder, Michel Bastos, could...
