    3 -5 -2 anyone?

    I'm aware that AVB prefers 433 or 4231 with wingers that cut inside but what about this type of formation where the wing-backs can give us some width and still have players like Lamela. ------------Lloris---------- ----Kaboul--- Vlad----- Jan Walker-- Sandro-- Paulinho-- Rose/Townsend...

    Moneyball and Spurs

    I've just recently seen the film Moneyball with Brad Pitt, for those who haven't watched it the film it is about a former baseball player called Billy Beane. He becomes General Manager of Oakland A's and seeing that his team had little money he started using sabermetrics (using statistics and...

    Dos Santos to Zaragoza/What barcelona thought of him!

    I've just read in one of the spanish papers that he will go on loan to Zaragoza in January and team up with the mexican manager Javier Aguirre (who managed him at the world cup), there are quotes from Aguirre. i think that's probably the best move for him and hopefully he can pull in some...

    Benzema for Spurs?

    I've just read in the Spanish press that Harry is after Benzema, I don't beleive it as it is the sports paper Marca which love to spread rumours. On a hypothetical level though, do you think he's the striker we're missing?

    Inter Milan's 1st half!

    I've just watched the first half of the super cup and taking into consideration that it is their second official match, they don't look as threatening as i had imagined them to be. They have 10 players from the CL final playing and aren't that impressive. Chivu can be exploited at the back by...

    West Ham banned from europe?

    Injury nightmare?

    I can't remember the last time we had so many inuries to the first team squad, this is not normal and I wonder if they injuries stem from the fact that Marcos Alvarez (fitness instructor under Ramos) is not with us anymore. Apart from King who's problems have been long term, we never had as many...

    Loco rumours from Spain & Juande on Zokora

    As discussed in another thread Ramos is at Real Madrid, now the press are starting the obvious rumours about possible buys. veryone is aware that they need a winger after failing to get Ronaldo and sellin Robinho, well many journalists are calling for lennon to be bought, Mijatovic (sporting...

    Archibald commentating

    Last night they showed the Spurs game on Spanish TV and to my surprise they had Steve Archibald as co-commentator in Spanish ( I forgot he played for Barcelona). He spoke largely about Spurs and his memories at the club and was quite disappointed that Ginola hadn't been given a role as a...

    Is Clive Allen still in charge of the reserves?

    Now that Clive has joined Harry's set-up, where does that leave the reserves, does anyone know if he's doing it part-time? or is this the reason that Les and Tim are coming to the club for?

    Mills and Barcham?

    I was wondering if anyone knows how these two are getting on at Gillingham, I live abroad and saw that they both scored at the weekend in a 2-0 victory. I was hoping that Mills was going to be a good centre half, I still remember all the uproar when we pinched him from Swindon at the age of 15...

    The Daily Mail and Spurs

    I've been with this site for a while now and there have been many people complaining about the Daily Mail and their hatred to Spurs but no one could ever tell me why this paper has it in for us. That is until I read the book "Flat Earth News" by Nick Davies which is basically about how the media...

    Job advert: Crossing coach

    After seeing the first few games of this rather disappointing season which I hope will pick up and beleive it will, I can't help to notice that the team's ability to cross the ball and set piece delivery is still as bad as the previous two years. The only player to save himself is Bale who is...

    Who will be the vice-captain?

    I'm assuming that King will continue with the Spurs captaincy, however do to his persistant injury problems will be relying on a vice-captain to lead the team out. If Keane finally goes, added to the sale of Robinson, we would need a new stand-in-skipper. Who are the alternatives, the other day...

    Etoo to Spurs?

    http://www.as.com/futbol/articulo/futbol-etoo-tratos-tottenham-juande/dasftb/20080422dasdaiftb_52/Tes This is an article in the Spanish sports paper AS, which basically says that Etoo has been in talks with Spurs for the past week, apparently he is unhappy at Barcaleona, on a tv interview 2...

    Where are the tricks promised by Ricardo?

    When Mr Levy brought in Frank as technical director, he went back to Holland to pick up Ricardo Moniz, this man was famed for his skills teaching and apparently he had 50 ways to get passed a player, it was designed by some other dutch coach whose name escapes me. Ricardo has been at the club...

    Kaboul for AM?

    Before the backlash begins, I think that kaboul could do a good job as a midfielder. he is very young and i believe that he has played as a defensive midfielder for his previous club. I think he can go one better, he's very strong and athletic, he can pass the ball and has an eye for the...

    When is Comolli getting a goalkeeping coach?

    Juande has replaced Jol and Poyet has replaced Hughton, which many people see as the best move the club has made, not forgetting Alvarez and Dr Escribano and his baby food. However, the club also sacked Hans Segars and said that they were on the lookout for a goalkeeping coach. What has Comolli...

    Could Ramos do what Jol didn't dare?

    It was extremely brave of Ramos today to drop Berbatov and Keane, especially the latter as he has scored 24 in 31 games, which if I'm not mistaken is the best strike rate in Europe, for two strikers who haven't really been finding the net. Personally, I think Keane is difficult to drop right now...
