20 Games In So Now What Do You Think About Our Summer Signings?

[agrdavidsfan]

I will get us all started

Heurelho Gomes 8/10 had a bumpy start but god he doesnt have look some keeper some of the saves he has made have been unbeleivble i know hes cost a few goals but think how many hes stopped to

Cesar Sanchez N/A We havent seen him play really and he looks to small for a goalkeeper was alright in brief cameo against liverpool

Vedran Corluka 9/10 This guy is pure class my fav player of the moment rarely makes mistakes and he just looks very calm composed bit berbatovish

David Bentley 1/10 The biggest dissapointment ive seen was expecting big things from him looked pure class for blackburn but hes been rubbish and someone needs to tell him hes scored 1 of the all time great spurs goal to be fair to him but hes still living off that

Luka Modric 9/10 Is there something about these croatians? he looks amazing just needs to get some better players around him very good player good purchase

Roman Pavulychenko 6/10 I beleive he will make it hes scored when given the chance just needs a partner up front because he cant cut it on his own

Giovani Dos Santos N/A Hasnt played enough to judge him but what people have said is promising i cant wait to see him back

Fraizer Campbell 2/10 Carbon copy of darren bent dont think hes any good and cant control the ball on his chest at all can go back to united i think

more or less what you said, I'd give campbell a 4 though and Pav a 5.5

 

[alextheyid]

yeah i pretty much agree with you...ratings are a little extreme though..either massive or tiny

Exactly. Giving Bentley a 1 is ill-thought. Yes he's been disappointing in the last few games but you're forgetting that under Ramos he was one of the few players that actually looked like they were up for it.

 

[hughy]

Bentley deserves at least a 3 for the goal against the Scum alone. He'd probably get a 3.1 from me...

 

[dontcallme]

I'm more interested in how they perform as a team rather than praising and writing them off as individuals.

With no Roque Santa Cruz type player to aim for Bentley is struggling, this does not make him a useless player but unless we have the right players to make the most of our players strengths then we wont see the best of our players.

Gomes has shown enough strength of character to prove he can be a good player for us for years to come.

The jury is out on most of them whether it's the players being good enough individually or whether they are the right player for how Harry wants us to play.

For me Gomes no more than a 5 considering the number of ridiculous errors he's made. Fair enough he's made some great saves lately but he achieved the status of a complete laughing stock following his mistake at Fulham and the other countless cock-ups before that.

Bentley has been poor i agree but 1/10 a bit OTT. More like a 3 I'd say. Though why we even signed him when, IMO Lennon is a much player, i really dont know!

Modric is obviously a class player but so far he's only got 2 goals (1 in the league) and if you compare that to other attacking mids or midfield playmakers (Lampard, Gerrard, Arteta, Ireland, even Bullard at Fulham) then it simply doesnt measure up- not only in scoring goals but creating them. A look at the stats will tell you that Modric has 1 prem goal and 3 assists. Considering we are currently playing a 4-5-1 specificly to accomodate Modric I dont think thats anywhere near good enough, especially when you consider that Malbranque has got 9 assists and a goal and he supposedly wasnt good enough to get into our team. Am not trying to say Modric is useless, I realise he's still finding his feet in the prem and have every confidence he'll adapt to the league in time, but in many games his lack of physicque has been a factor and thus far IMO overall he's looked largely annoymous- as reflected by his poor return of goals/assists. For me hasnt made anywhere near the impact to warrant a 9/10. I'd give him a 6/10

 

[NickHSpurs]

I think Modric and Gomes are starting to adapt and settle now and we're seeing the results of that on the pitch. The last 3/4 matches they have both been showing a lot more to their games and if they carry on progressing as they are they'll both be worth every penny.

Bentley's game is suffering for two reasons. First of all because he's playing on the left, secondly because in open play he has one person to aim for in the box. This is knocking his confidence a lot and because of that his all round game is suffering. He needs another big goal, in the semi's or something would be ideal.

Corluka has been solid where ever he has been asked to play and I can see why we fought so hard to get this fella.

I hope Gio doesn't go anywhere, the kid has been unlucky with injuries and there is defintely a role for him to play in our side.

Pavlyuchenko has been in and out of the side but still managed to chip in with a few goals, I think as the team settles down after Jan we'll start to see the best of him.

Er didn't Modric score against the barcodes in the prem??

 

[milkman]

Your ratings are a bit in the extremes! mg:

 

[joespurs]

Oops good point! Ha! About to be edited accordingly... The point still stands though!

 

[Kendall]

and you are missing loads of players eg

King
Woodgate
Bale
Lennon
O'hara

some of these players have been key in our team, and you forget to rate them! :rofl:

what are you talking about?

 

[milkman]

what are you talking about?

oopss. miss read the thread title..

I thought he was just rating some of our players!

 

[handsomecake]

i think giving corluka 9 is very generous.
he is very slow and offers nothing going forward.
when i think of evra or clichy or ashley cole and then compare corluka i dont think he is as good.
i also think modric has a lot to prove to justify 16.5 million.
bentley has been terrible.
gomes has been very very good despite the blunders

 

[Kendall]

Gomes - 5.

He has improved in the last 6 weeks, but his comedy errors played a massive part in us being where we are now. Looks more assured now, but on the 1st 4 months in total I think 5 is fair.

Modric - 6.5/10

Looks a classy little player and again like Gomes he's improved in the last month or so, prior to that he was annonymous, easily push off the ball and limited in that he wasn't able to be a midfielder or create anything, hardly the makings of a top class playmaker.

Corluka - 9/10

The best signing for me. Looks a lot better than Hutton, but has also been an absolute hero at covering CB. He is a great 'footballing' player, a cool customer, the Berbatov of defenders. Can we clone him?

Giovani - 4/10

Looks easily bullied off the ball, can only remember one decent cross and he struggles to beat his man. Nowhere near a first teamer yet. I give him 5 because he's got potential and he's young, but he really hasn't done anything to warrant anything over 2.

Bentley - 5/10

Dissappointing, but not totally shit as some would have you believe. If it was Taarabt or Giovani playing some of the crosses he has then many on here would be creaming their pants.

His corners have been a bone of contention for me rather than his open play crosses. It doesn't help that he's been playing LW for the most part.

Pavlyuchenko - 6/10

He's scored a few goals and that's all you can ask. I think the problems Bent, Campbell and Pav have all faced prove that it's the midfield that's been a problem. When Bent or Pav get a proper chance they rarely miss, it's just nobody create any for them. Communication has been an issue and he looks a bit lazy. Hopefully he'll come good, wouldn't dream of offloading him, because he looks lethal and you'd always back him to score if he got the service.

Campbell - 4/10

Looks like he will become a decent level player if he gets the right coaching. He is only 20 and it's going to be tough to really settle at a club where you know the fans didn't really want you and you know you're not going to stay there. That said, he has fluffed a few decent chances.

 

[garyhopkins]

Yes Luka has two goals and has done well considering all the naysayers before he'd actually played in the Premiership. He's our most gifted, creative player and the one I want to watch. Gomes had a few nightmare moments but has shown great strength of character. Corluka has definitely been the best of the bunch although I wish he were faster. I'd like to see him play DM if we don't get someone in. Bentley has been the big disappointment. I'd only ever seen him on MOTD and he remains a MOTD player for me. Fingers crossed he gets going this year! Pav is still adapting to the new league (and language!). He isn't Berba but I still think he can do a job if we give him time. Campbell tries very hard. He's young and causes problems. Whether he will score many goals? I don't know but I hope so. I look forward to the return of Giovanni if Harry doesn't sell him.
Gomes 7, Corluka 8, Modric 7, Bentley 4, Pav 6, Campbell 5, Giovanni ?

 

[Rabbi_Krustofski]

Heurelho Gomes 6/10 - Not aggressive enough

Cesar Sanchez 10/10 - Not moaning at being sub.

Vedran Corluka 7/10 - Still to see his best

David Bentley 6/10 - Not shown his 'Beckham' best yet

Luka Modric 6/10 - Injuries annoying, everything to prove

Roman Pavulychenko 6/10 - Goals, but no quality about him

Giovani Dos Santos - Injuries annoying, everything to prove

 

[gibbs131]

Heurelho Gomes 7/10: So glad to see him getting some clean sheets and earning us points.

Vedran Corluka 7/10: Very handy player to have given Spurs fragile injury prone defence

David Bentley 4/10: Physically uninterested, slow and went behind Ramos back to stick the knife in to the press (even though he was partially responsible)

Luka Modric 6/10: Criminal lack of goals/assists considering the amount of time he has on the pitch and his given role. If he is going to be Arry's Lynch Pin he better start feeding Bent and Pav a little better and getting more Prem goals.

Roman Pavulychenko 5.5/10: He will get us goals, but he is obviously no athlete. Yet.

Fraizer Campbell 4/10: Athlete but won't get us goals.

 

[riversmonkey]

Gomes - 5.5
I'm actually getting more and more convinced by him as the season goes on, lets hope his early mistakes won't cost us at the end of the season.


Modric - 6
Glimpses of his ability, but we still haven't seen the best of him yet


Corluka - 7.5/10
I like the guy, comfortable in possesion. Looks classy at CB


Giovani - 4/10
Saw him a few times during pre season and he looked mint, has been injured so hard to tell how good he can be in the Premier League.


Bentley - 5/10
One fine game at the Emirates, which is the only bright spot on what has been a terribly inconsistent campaign thus far. Set piece deliveries has been under par. You take the brush away from the painter and he's not going to offer much, is he?


Pavlyuchenko - 4.5/10
Looks knackered. A few goals mask what little else he has offered the team.


Campbell - 4.5/10
Tries hard, puts himself about. Still very raw.

 

[jrio]

Gomes 5/10 Parks seems to have brought noticeable improvements in the last few weeks but that doesn't erode the calamitous early season he had.

Sanchez 5/10 Appears to have been a colossal error in acquiring him as back-up.

Corluka 8/10 Showing the same class that he did at City. He's a little wasted on the right.

Bentley 5/10 Deadballs have been poor and without a main striker to hit he looks somewhat inconsequential

GDS 5/10 Always likely to take time to adjust to the PL, but having been injured, will he get it?

Modric 7/10 Our main creative input, but sides can find it straight-forward to squeeze and hustle him out of the game

Pav 6/10 He can score goals but mobility and desire seem to be lacking

Campbell 5/10 Difficult for him to flit in and out of the side and show any quality, but there have been signs

All in all, a fairly disastrous summer of transfers. 4/10(too many players came too late).
