[in reference to the comment "why don't you support them?"]

I think that's a good question. What is 'Tottenham' about Tottenham? The manager and coaching staff? The players?

Our manager needs a translator. Only about half of the first team has English as a first language. Apart from the obvious difficulty in getting along to games, why not just support Sevilla?

I stand by my initial response.

We practically started the trend of foreign players coming to England

Players like Ardiles etc. I am proud of the Ginolas, the Klinsmanns, Ricky Villas.

Why not just support the National team?

And your correct response to me should be "fuck off"

Speaking of which, how is Bodmer playing?

At Everton, I can't ever remember Moyes playing Arteta as one of two CMs. When Cahill plays the box-to-box role, you usually get several identical baldies playing CM,

I read this initially as baddies. Same difference!

He repeats his initial goad. I repeat my initial response.

If he walked up to a Spurs fan on game day and told him to go and support another team he would beg for simple words, trust me.

no i said that if you were such a fan of theres go support them, , plus i told barmy to"fuck off and support villa" at the inter gam ethe other year, he didnt beat me, then again im kinda scary looking and secondly your a nob

I agree with that. Assuming for a moment that we are after Arteta, unless Ramos is going to change his entire system, I can only imagine he'd use him as the attacking/tempo dictating CM. Arteta is far too slow to be a classic Ramos wide player.

At Everton, I can't ever remember Moyes playing Arteta as one of two CMs. When Cahill plays the box-to-box role, you usually get several identical baldies playing CM, with Arteta out wide. So, playing Arteta as one of two CMs would be a new role for him in the EPL. However, to repeat my comments from other threads, I can see Ramos wanting to pair Poulsen with Arteta in CM.

I don't know about Arteta. I just think he a star of Moyes system, rather than him being a superb player.

Moyes needs to take some plaudits for polishing some average players into decent players and decent players (like Arteta) into good players.

wouldnt want an influx of Sevilla players, yes one or two, but only ones that would improve the squad (and not all of the would)

With having alot of Brits and Irish playersin the squad over the last few years has been good, i wouldnt want to change that with alot of others coming in.... we just need the ones in CM :lol:

If I remember correctly, Arteta was a playmaker in Barca's youth teams. They sent him out on loan because in the line from Guardiola to Xavi to Iniesta, they felt he wasn't quite as good as a youngster, and then his loan moves at the likes of PSG and Rangers weren't enough to convince Barca to take him back. So he can play as a CM, but hasn't done so regularly in the EPL.

So, I think you're correct in that Moyes has found a system that works for a player like Arteta. The ex-Ajax kid, Pienaar, is very similar. A playmaker in his youth used as a wide player by Moyes.

My main point was that if Arteta signed for us, I suspect Ramos would use him as the offensive/tempo-dictating CM. And the question then would be whether he's matured enough as a player to be able to be that key player in a top European team. And we wouldn't know the answer for a season or so...

It pretty much would be Spurs overseas players leaving IMO to accommodate the new ones should they come.

Malbs, TT, Rocha, Berbs (unfortunately), Zok etc will probably be closer to the exit door than our Irish+Brits.

All speculation though.

fair enough if we are just improving the overseas players with other ones, just think we need to hold onto a UK feel to the team, something that has been good for the club for the last 2 or so seasons

Yep a British spine is essential in this league.

What I am afraid of: I HATED the way Sevilla played the ref every time we met them.

I just hope our players don't start getting that mentality

Kanoute, Palop, Alvez, Kerzhakov and Poulsen have all been heavily linked to Spurs recently.

If by heavily linked you mean fucking lazy arsed journo's that can't be bothered to find a real story so just randomly pick a Seville player daily to link us with just because Ramos was there last manager. There little or no truth in any of the so called rumours and it would surprise me in the slightest if we didn't sign any of there player in the next transfer window.
