Dispelling a Myth

[StartingPrice]

I was happy when Commoli left, but now appreciate what he did, am i right in thinking he serves the same role at Liverpool? If so i am hoping he makes more Zokora type signings than Modric

Afaik, he has the same or similar remit at Anfield.
I am not sure about his dealings so far, but do feel that, starting from a higher level, the Scousers are at a similar place to where we were about 5 years ago - buying up a lot of young English/British talent, on the hope that they are going to fulfill that talent. Because they are starting from a higher base, I don't think it will take five years for this process to pan out, and I am not sure of it's value without someone like Redknapp being in charge to round the team/squad off.

I have no massive dislike for liverpool so i don't mind if they succeed, as long as its in our shadow of course.
They an interesting range of signings though, IMO Suarez is probably the cleverest striker in the league and would love him at spurs and on the flip side Carroll seems like one of the stupider, i just don't see Carol as a player in a bad run of form though, he just seems like a bad player. Henderson was a suprising one for me, i honestly can't say i know much about him but i have seen glimmers that make him look like a good utility player.
Adams is a poor mans Huddlestone in my view and downing, well downing is an english winger who looks like he could be playing in a liverpool side in the 80's (not that he would have gotten in one of those sides) meaning its as though he read a book on how to be an english style winger (run, cross, repeat with no creativity or flair)

We should be going to Newcastle and kidnapping whoever their French Scout is, they have made the most astute signings of any side this year i think

The way our squad is developing really makes me wish we had kept Commoli and the DOF football system

We seemed to have really only unearthed two gems in the last few years and thats Sandro and Walker

Players like Bale, Huddlestone, BAE, Modric, Lennon, Dawson, Kaboul have all been incredibly well scouted, not sure if they were all Commoli purchases but they were all purchased around the same era (Lennon seemed obvious though, had already done well in a game or two with leeds and leeds were virtually bankrupt)

I honestly think we have an absoloute quality player in the making and hopefully a replacement to King and that's Caulker, he looks experienced beyond his age and has that same style of defending as King (does not seem to physically hassle the player and reads their movement as opposed to muscling off the ball )

Now that i think about it (sorry this post has been a progression of thought) our youth system seems to be much more productive than in recent years

Levy your a genious! Made the investment in quality young players that are now experienced PL stars, seems to have built a decent youth system and now have the foundations where we can slowly evolve the squad, making purchases for the future, making immediate impact signings or whatever it is we need to tweak an already existing outstanding squad

Its a Friday evening, i am slightly drunk on wine and its just a great feeling to be a spurs fan!


My apologies, this post is off topic, i was just looking at the value of our starting 11 and got rather happy and digressed further from there as i am prone to do, instead f editing i should possibly have just deleted

Please delete post if it is against the guidelines of any kind

If making stuff up as you go along was a reason to delete posts this site would be a waste-land mate!

I think our team is by far the best value for money, bale,modric and vdv for the price of andy carroll

just trying to work out the lay of the land

I think Dalgliesh will be under a lot of pressure next season. A CC win may mask their inconsistency and lack of squad balance for a while but if it becomes obvious that they're not going to crack the top 4 again even he, the King of the bindippers, will be in trouble
