    Summer Transfer Wish List

    As far as I am aware, Carroll's contract expires in the summer and since there has been little news of am extension, I would imagine he won't be here next year. Like you, I would see chadli as being one of the first to go. He's been here long enough to show what he can do and personally I don't...

    Summer Transfer Wish List

    Apologies, I was referring to the Dembele who we are linked to. I thought it was clear with the context of the convo but evidently not! I've edited to make it clearer now...but see...this is the problem with having players with the same name, football forums will be a mess! Regarding, winks...

    Summer Transfer Wish List

    Eriksson, alli,lamela, son, chadli, n'jie, Pritchard, winks, onomah, mason and dembele(the French one we are linked to). Granted, mason can play CM too, but something has got to give in the AM spots.

    Tim: Capoue and Holtby can leave

    I don't really see the point in any sales this window because realistically we don't know who the manager will be come next season. With regards to Holtby, he's a player I really do appreciate. He has that creative spark otherwise he wouldn't be given that role in the german youth sides and he...

    Exclusive interview: Paulinho on Tottenham Hotspur, Brazil, Corinthians, Mano Menezes and links with

    Completely agree. Having to live abroad from a young age must have had a positive impact on his outlook on things. The conditions he had to put up with eastern Europe with the racism must have pushed him on to the great person and player he is today. Can't wait to see more of him now that he...

    Vlad drunk as a skunk at the weekend (Video)

    I find it strange how the drinking culture is just accepted in football. When you consider the advancements in every area in the last 20 years using sports science to get every possible edge on opponents, it seems bizarre to me how something like alcohol is allowed to prevent these athletes...

    Best XI...

    I've always felt that in the Walker and Rose we have great attaching wing backs and that we should be exploiting that more. AVB seemed to insist that only one is allowed to attack at a time which seems counter productive to me. Because if only one is going forward, the wide forwards on the...

    Team v FC Anzhi Mahkachkl

    Anzhi won't be playing any of their matches at the Anzhi Arena in Europe due to trouble in the area. Instead it's been moved to near Moscow, in Saturn FC stadium. Onto my starting line up, resting as many starters as possible while giving run outs for those who aren't starting. Paulinho could...

    Are we getting ahead of ourselves?

    We're still a developing team. Winning big matches isn't just ability, there's a mind set and psychology involved with it too. If you've done it before you can have the confidence and know how to do it again so will be on the better foot. For many of these players it's their first time playing...

    What Happened In Paxton Upper?

    Well if you are going to have a heart attack it's the sort of place you would want it to happen. You'll have medics with you with in minutes which ambulances simply can't do in the majority of cases. Hope the guy recovers, has my wishes.

    Lewis Holtby

    He ran the show against Villa and put in a great performance against Cardiff. When he came on his energy, movement and passing changed the game and livened us up and we were rewarded in a goal. I always felt last year his performances would improve when we improvement the movement of those...

    Which one of our young players have the potential to be world class by 2015?

    It really depends on your definition of world class, a term I feel is over used a lot. World class to me should only be applied to those who are one of the best 2/3/4 in their position in the world. So for me, I can't see any of them reaching that my 2015, although they have the ability to...

    Our foreign players are much better technically...

    Maybe you're right, and I hope you are for the sake of the development of the game here. But either way, it's still 10 years or more behind the rest of Europe in setting it up and progress of the system. So we won't likely see the outcomes of it for 10 years to come. It's also the reason why...

    Our foreign players are much better technically...

    It's the youth development of players. Youth football here still includes putting 9 year olds on full size pitches and full size goals with winning at all costs. Inevitably turns into who can kick the furthest and highest. No development of skill is possible when you win by hoofing. Holland has...
