Hi Kendall
- you may be rightBut I keep seeing line ups like this
Santos Modric DM Capel or variants thereof
and I think so JR is gonna start next season with a mid that has no prem experience - and I think no way Juande - he ain't a gonna do that
we may well get in a santos or Capel or both - I hope and pray we get in a proper DM with leadership skills as well if possible
but a whole new mid trotting out at say sunderland or Blackburn - can't see it and wouldn't want it probably (yes if the all new mid had won the last two friendlies 6-0 maybe maybe

I do realise that but as Modric and Dos Santos are attacking midfielders and Jenas is too, that 'could' make him 3rd choice.
Anyway, our rotation policy hasn't been so hot so far, as Bent was expected to play 30 games this season.

Lets not forget, Dos Santos has just ticked 20 and would be looking at his first season in a vastly different league. I would see him being our third choice for a little while, behind Modric and JJ. Unless, of course, Modric doesn't set the pitch alight like we're hoping he will :shrug:

its not news that inter are after him! But I'm not 100% sure he will go there! Not convienced that he is type of player mourinho would go 4! I might b wrong there though! Also if he wants to play week on week out I'm not sure at Chelsea or inter he would get much more game time than he does at barca at the moment! Which I kind of thought from what the papers are saying is one of the main reasons he wants to leave barcalona!
If Dos Santos wants to be third choice, playing a handful of games, he can happily stay at Barca.
If he comes to Spurs, and I hope he does, it will be to play regular first team football. Remember he was voted second and third best player at the U17 & U20 World Cups - that's the second and third best player in his age group in the world. Plus he's very versatile - he can play on both flanks and as an ACM.
If both Dos Santos and Capel come, I expect Dos Santos to play more games - even though Capel has been a regular starter for Sevilla.
PS he was born in May 1989, so he's just turned 19.

DC Boy couldn't agree more. It's pie in the sky stuff to think that our midfield for next season will be totally new. Jenas at his best (Arse 5 - 1) is outstanding. Steed too showed his worth last season. What happens remains to be seen but i would be amazed if an all new midfield lined up at the start of the new season

Being good in a tournament doesn't necessarily mean that they are "the second and third best player in his age group in the world." All it means is that their form at the time was very good. Now I am not doubting he has talent, but you were getting ahead of yourself a bit there.

His speed, his arrival in the area and his shot has been the best arguments that have attracted the attention of the trainer 'Spurs' because cree que with these characteristics could be adapted to perfection-style game of the Premier League.

They can't make up quotes...can they?
"It's an honour that teams as important as Tottenham are interested in Giovanni, but nothing's official yet, although it is very advanced."
"The project that they [Tottenham] have is promising and ambitious, and Giovanni wants to become great with Tottenham, and help this team project to become reality. It's true that leaving Barca is a risky decision, but bearing in mind his qualities this seems to be the best option for him."

If you mean the news that's been cut and pasted, it's from spanish websites and been translated online, so naturally it comes out as a bit of broken English.
Everything else is pretty clear & run of the mill for this time of year though :shrug:

His dad is his #1 handler and acts more or less as his agent, so these quotes are very good news for us.
