I still think Charlie will start Saturday at Sunderland.
Gary Doherty has 34 caps for Republic of Ireland.
Timothée Atouba has 24 caps for Cameroon.
Mbulelo Mabizela has 44 caps for South Africa.
Want me to continue or have I destroyed that point enough already?
Zokora has improved ten fold from his first season here. He does a job in any position he's put in, and he always give his all. He's fast becoming one of our most important players. Not necessarily automatically a starting place, but he'll never be left out the squad. Ever. Minus injury, of course, which I don't ever recall happening with him. He's like a bionic man.
Take note: worst international player ever to play for Spurs.
Mabizela looked a decent player(stunning strike against Leicester away). I understand there was a refreshment issue with him. Atouba can play football, has a lot of skill, but lacks judgement. Doherty was pants, I'd forgotten he was an international.
Funnily enough, I generally expect players to give their all. That's the least you can give in their position. If Zokora ever becomes one of our most important players, then even darker times surely beckon. If I ever see a JJ/Zoko midfield next season, I'll be swiftly switching off or leaving the ground.
Take note: worst international player ever to play for Spurs. An athlete, not a football player, except there's a lot more money in football than athletics, and it's a lot less punishing. I don't blame him, but there a lot of deluded fans supporting him because they identify with him(especially at last season's CC final, when he turned his back on the penalty).
What did Harry reckon Bill said to him? "You're a right winger who can't score goals. Are you anywhere near as good as Stanley Matthews?" What the fuck would he have said to Zokora when told about his favoured position? I think it would have been unprintable. Faced with this guy around 1970 as a "fait accompli", Bill would probably have called it a day there and then. It wouldn't have needed Feyenoord to finish him off and I guess there might have been some comfort in that.
He can cause least harm there. I'd prefer his position to be right back at the end of the queue of players likely to be in the first team squad.
I agree with that
Some of us have always said Zokora does a very decent job either in Central defence or at full back but he is not a Premiership CM player, end of.
I thought he did well last night and I've seen him play well for us in Central Defence.
I have never seen him have a good game in CM
I don't mind the Zok bashing... some of it can be well argued and some of it makes sense, even to me.
But it's this sort of bile that winds me up.
He's not the worst international player to ever play for Spurs and you look like a complete nobby if you can't be big enough to take that ridiculous comment back.
So you'd rather Mabizela? Because of a goal he scored against Leicester? Brilliant. I'm beginning to really value your opinion.
Let me guess, it's more switching off than leaving the ground, right?
