Players that have gone backwards DURING THEIR TIME AT Spurs?

[P-L-P]

Backwards:

Robbo - Continuing a worrying trend with Spurs keepers. Get out.
Lennon - Seems more concerned about his status as top dog at faces than his football. Jog him on
Chimbonda - Always been a talent with a questionable attitude. Seems uninterested. See ya!
Dawson - The amount of silly mistakes made by this fella is unacceptable. Where his heart on his sleeve but ultimately not good enough.

Improvers:

Malbranque - looked pony in his first season but performed well even when Jol was doing his best to ruin us.
Jenas - controversial but his goal rate is up since leaving the goldfish bowl and mid season was awesome for a couple of months, needs consistency.
Zok - slightly less bad than he was, which was woeful.
Berbatov - Raised his profile around the world. Nice to have a world class player at Spurs.

Jury's out:

Pudd: Another one that needs to spend less time in faces. Seems to have shifted some poundage another badly flawed player but I think he deserves one more season under ramos.
TT: Get fit or get out.

Too early to Tell:

KPB (dont hold out much hope), Bale (injuries:bang, Woody (looking good), Hutton (The huts nuts)

Not mentioned? - jog on.

how can lennon have gone backwards at spurs, before he signed for us he was at leeds, just about to break into their 1st team and now he has england caps, dawson was languisihng with forest and was brought in as part of the reid deal, not so long back he was carrying the team. keane, so being the top scorer for the last calender year is going backwards. bloody hell can you spell fickle

this might just have been wrote to expand on this season (or most likely the last 3 weeks) but its not wrote to well and not very well thought out really is it?

Sorry I wasn't aware I was being marked on presentation.

Lennon has gone backward this season, his end product is abysmal and his attitude stinks. He had the element of surprise in his first season but prem defenders seem to have the making of young Aron. If we get a sniff of 6 mil plus we should be removing hands.

And just because you have been transferred up a division doesn't mean you are improving as a player.

Keane please your talking out you a*rse

Malbranque rubbish player, runs and runs

but you agree on the rest? So I'm not doing too badly.

If you read my bit about Zok I did say he had started from a poor position.

Lennons end product has always been abysmal, he just hasn't improved to what a lot of us thought he could. Not gone backwards, just not gone forwards as much, or as quickly as we thought he would.

Dawson, a few Forest fans said when we got him he makes these mistakes, again nothing new, just after the Liverpool game we built him up to much.

Keane shouldn't be there. You say exspected so much better, but what does that matter what you exspected? hasn't done any worse than at any other club he has been at, infact improved.

 

[InOffMeLeftShin]

I don't entirely agree, but then I don't entirely disagree either.

Those you say have gone backwards haven't really gone backwards, most just haven't progressed as well as we would all have hoped.

Robbo - Completely lost confidence, is maybe the only one who is playing worse than he was 2 or 3 years ago.

Lennon - Is young enough to come good, just needs to simplify things to get back to just running at people and pinging it across the box. Not a worse player than he was.

Dawson - Still gets his head on everything, still jumps in front of shots, but doesn't have King to bail him out like he did 2 years ago. A limited player, but commited.

Chimbonda - Always been a liability defensively and is getting older

Keane - The 44 goals in the last 2 seasons tend to suggest he hasn't got worse at all. Not really sure what you were expecting.

Would you prefer it if I changed it to gone backwards / not develeped as should be expected? I can do that if you wish.

I stand by my Keane comments.

Keane is set to score more goals this season than he ever has!! He hasn't gone backwards or not developed, in fact he's the opposite. He's as passionate and full of running as he always was and is scoring goals from everywhere - long range, 18-yard line, six-yard box, left-foot, right-foot, headers. He has it all!

Lennon I feel is getting a hard time. He all but scored on Saturday and made some decent runs. Yes, he needs to improve his final ball and other smaller aspects of his game (needs more consistency) but he still has time to develop fully.

I think the fact that our season has been so topsy-turvy has affected a lot of the players, mainly Robbo and Dawson, but both I feel can come good. You can't write someone off after just one poor season, that has been proved time and time again.

And just because you have been transferred up a division doesn't mean you are improving as a player.

So he was an England International while at Leeds then was he?

 

[Barmy_in_Palmy]

Thats because, as has already been determined, your a one-eyed wide up merchant.

 

[P-L-P]

Is he now? Last time I checked he didn't even make the U21 squad.

 

[fozzi44]

can u explain how keane has gone backwards.

 

[PT]

I think that an aspect of some of our players treading water can be attributed to a change of system by Ramos and the training regime being adjusted accordingly. Some of our players will take longer to accommodate the system and Ramos and his staff will know who is on the boat next season and who will be invited to walk the plank.

 

[Barmy_in_Palmy]

Thats not my question, he played in the World Cup as a Spurs player, my question is, was he an England International while he was at Leeds?

 

[PLTuck]

can u explain how keane has gone backwards.

I would also like to know how the Premierships top scorer of calender year 2007 is considered to be going backwards / not improving.

 

[P-L-P]

Thats not my question, he played in the World Cup as a Spurs player, my question is, was he an England International while he was at Leeds?

No but he was at a higher profile club so he was noticed.

He was a brilliant player at first but he has slowly gotten worse over time.

He hardly even beats a man these days. Prem defenders have his number and his exclusion from both squads was justified.

He has gone backwards.
