    Squad Assessment - 2011/2012 - The Defence

    seb started 25 league games for us when we qualified for the CL. we have all seen that he has it in him, but he's been pushed away from the first 11 by introducing gallas and then the return of kaboul. with Khumalo and Caulker already on loan, selling seb would leave us with just 4 centre...

    hi, i work on and off as a football commentator, and i'm always looking to improve my knowledge of the game in terms of tactics. commentating on what is happening is no problem, but when it comes to explaining what a team could be doing better, or why it is performing so badly in a given...

    so what you're saying here is that he scores EVEN when he doesn't hit it well. isn't that a good thing?

    first of all, i'm not trying to convince anyone away from their opinions. i wrote the article from my point of view to open up the topic of fashionable players. with regard to Bent scoring goals in a poorly performing side, what more could you ask for? why that isn't good enough? if Defoe had...

    this is exactly the point i am trying to make. the club's top goalscorer in a poor season, level with rooney and robinho and only behind liverpool's captain fantastic in terms of english scorers and he's still not good enough for some.

    so we'd have Keane, Defoe, Bent, Pav, Ruud and Tuncay? not so sure that would really solve anything at all.

    The summer transfer window is arguably the most interesting time of the year for a Spurs fan. I must admit to reading all of the transfer rumours with slightly more interest than the match reports of a game I’ve just seen us play. We all know that a good 90% of the ‘stories’ that the tabloids...
