Pleased for him - he's got plenty of g&t. Don't know how thrilled he will be if we sign a couple of these top quality midfielders we're being linked with and his opportunities are suddenly greatly curtailed.

God, I've got to get this sore throat sorted out. :wink:
Just kidding, Jamie. You're definitely what we need to bridge the gap to 4th. :up:

Yep, well done Jamie, worked hard all season and definitely a good squad player to have, although i must admit to being a little gutted when i saw the word 'Tottenham' on breaking news on SSN and thought it might be that we've wrapped up the quadruple signing of Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Villa & Gattuso.
Oh well.
Oh well.
I hope as he gets used to EPL and UEFA Cup level football, Jamie O'Hara can continue to improve. He's a neat and tidy passer, and works hard for the team. He also has better set piece delivery than most of our squad.
For me, signing O'Hara up for a few years was a no-brainer. In Europe, he'll count as a homegrown English player, which is crucial in terms of the balance of the squad. Apart from Ledley, I think he's the only homegrown English player we have apart from the kids, as I believe O'Hara joined our Academy at a young enough age to count as a proper Spurs graduate. A lack of homegrown English players may prove to be a huge problem for the likes of the goons in the next few seasons in terms of their European squad (I'm not sure if Walcott counts as an Arse academy graduate).
Plus Jamie's a good example for the rest of our Academy showing that if a player works hard and is prepared to play in a disciplined fashion for the team, then Ramos is willing to give them first team chances.
