Kyle Walker made 45 starts, Bale made 41, Modric made 40 noone else made more than 40.We basically threw the cups to focus on the league. No one was overplayed.

Kyle Walker was visibly playing through injury. Bale looked in need of a break. Almost every media report on almost every Spurs, in the final third of the season, match commented commented on how knackered Modric looked - something I could see with my own eyes, anyway. Wait a minute, that's three outta three.

Bale looked in need of a slap.

It seems fairly clear that Harry has met Levy either today or yesterday. If he's still our manager following that then personally I think he'll be our manager in August.

thers is no doubt about we need 4 top players at top end of field to challenge first teamers at moment. united have plenty of top top class in reserve or to come off bench or to replace kep players when they rest.

the bottom line is harry does not trust anyone bar maybe first 13 or so players and who can blame him in all honesty, i don't but he must rectify that in summer once and for all and bring in a top midfielder, a top winger and 2 top strikers. we cabt keeo relying on bale, vdv and modric to drive us on and get us out of trouble.

Sorry I meant that I thought he could do a good job for someone.

And yes Harry absolutely adores the boy

Given a chance he'd get Kevin bond to drive down and get him personally

Cheers.

Doesn't surprise me. At least you weren't validating keano's info.

Whilst I agree 100% that we need a squad rather than just 13 trusted players, that isn't easy to do with a wage cap.

yes but we can easily get 4 or 5 top players alot better than pienaar, kranjcar,jenas, defoe and pav etc etc to really challenge first team positions. we are too predictable for other teams. every game last year i predicted right team and that cant be good. we need more variety and more class and more options. there is serious players out there who can make a rea
l difference for less than 70 k a week or whateve it is.

Other than Pienaar I do agree with you but isn't Pienaar himself on 70k or so?

shocking! he is good for everton but was never going to make impact for us but i can see why harry went for him. some quality wingers who can make an impact and difference are afellay , johnson, ramirez. we really need to bring more creativity and more pace to side too.

im optimistic stuff is going on but we need some serious luck in getting rid of alot of rubbish we have to do that. money as always is bottom line with levy.

Considering Afellay and Johnson are at Barca and Citeh respectively I suspect they are on close to 100k each which immediately causes problems. I'd love both but it's not easy.

The metro was reporting Afellay at 80k/w and that was in pounds. So it does seem like that could be an issue
