Perhaps we are witnesses to the beginning of the Berbatov legend:) They all start somewhere. Personally, I feel he has all the attributes but needs to be around a bit more than two seasons.

Hi Juande :) As I've said before I've seen all the great Spurs players live going right back to Jones White Mackay etc - so am clearly over 25 :) (wish I wasn't)

the great tradition I refer to is players of the highest skill, artists like Greaves Ginola Hodd who didn't rely on sweat but sheer genius - and Berbs is of that lineage - and hence to me for the reasons I've already given Berbs is a Spurs legend (for me anyway, and doubtless some others too)


DC i do respect your views certainly more than others, as you say you have seen some of the greats, and yes when it comes to sheer Genius i do agree with you that he is up there, but that IMO does not make him a Spurs Legend, i think on this one my friend we will have to agree to disagree, i sit here safe in the knowledge that i have seen some truly wonderfull Spurs teams, and i just hope some of these kids on here get to see some more of the wonderfull players we have seen down the years.

fair enough Juande - I entirely respect your views - and I'm certain your view is in the majority :)

as with a lot of arguments - definitions/semantics come into play -

Juande, maybe in your opinion but belonging correctly in the top group. Marsh was a great player and I have seen most teams including our double side. Twice the player Robbie Keane will ever be I am afraid.

When Marsh played for Man City he was always a thorn in our side, I don't we actually won a game against City when he was playing.

Who said he was not twice the player, and yes i have seen the double team aswell, but Marsh was not fit to lace best boot, let alone be put in the same bracket as him

Let me get this straight, Marsh is not fit to lace Bests boots but there is no argument about him being twice the player that Keane is....and Keane is a legend himself?

Again who said Keane is a Legend, i did not??? and no Marsh was not fit to lace George Best's boot, Best was one of the greatest players this world has ever seen, fact, Rodney Marsh was nowhere near.

I think we can all agree that Robbie Keane is not and never will be a Spurs legend.

Not of the required standard.

Oh and Marsh has sullied all his footballing prowess by being a numpty on both national TV and radio.

Hi PLP - I've already said that I think Robbie is a spurs legend - so we clearly don't all agree (and I'm not the only one :)

Well I can only assume that

A: You are younger than 20
B: You are in someway disturbed
C: You are Irish
D: You don't actually watch Spurs.

Which is it?

Somewhat of a stupid reply

Cheers Juande - :) I know we don't agree abourt spurs legends - I've even admitted I'm probably wrong in thinking Berbs is a legend - but that's the way I feel - same with Keane - again I'm probably 'wrong' etc - but hey people are allowed to have opinions and debate them

If I was saying Keane is our greatest ever goal scorer or Brbs for that matter - then call me stupid cos it ain't true - but Legend status - it's how you see it

yes you can get guidance - but insults mmmm - anyway P_L-Ps comment truly doesn't bother me - I'll ignore him from now on and that won't bother him and vice versa I'm sure :)
