I hope this is true. Would give us a much-needed lift, especially if he leads the team out at the Emirates on the 22nd.

I'm a bit dubious but also like a kid on Christmas Eve. Anyone, got any kind of link or better evidence?

I suppose we did see him doing ball work with the first team the other day so he can't be a million miles away....

If it's true I might go early to the game and threaten every single one of the opposition kids to make sure they don't touch him at all. Who's with me?

it said on SSN

"we understand that Ledley King is in line to play for Tottenham's reserves against Fulham tonight. We will bring you more news of this when we have it from the club."

they then went on to say how the defence have conceeded 36% more goals in kings absence compared with the last four seasons with King (with whom we conceed an average of 1.1 goals a game)

:bs:

It's our captain who's been injured since last season and he's playing in a game. This sort of thing would be reported on the official site! Some of you are really gullible!

Yeah, you're probably right.
But it's funny how outside sources like Sky Sports and BBC report stuff before the the official site does.
Did I say "funny"? I meant incredibly lousy work on the clubs behalf.

Maybe. Maybe not. If King is in the ressie squad, then everyone at the training ground this morning would know it. Any of them could have leaked to it Sky or the BBC.

Whereas presumably someone in Spurs' Publicity office has to wait for the reserve squad list to be officially passed to him/her, then type it up, then get it approved by Donna Cullen etc etc before it ends up on the website.

So, it could be laziness on Spurs' part, or it could just be a very slow bureaucracy...

I understand this was posted on Spursodyssey which along with SC is one of the boards worth taking seriously.
SSN would have lifted their info from that.

Thoughtful and probably accurate response...

well physioroom has them all back at the same time so could be something in it. Saying that though, the date they give is 15th Dec so might be a bit punchy to be true...

competition for places at CB, eh? Who'd have thunk it... :grin:

Be so happy in a few weeks if we have Leds, Rocha, Daws & Tone as our 4 cb to choose from.

But would sacrifice them all in a second to have King back.
