There must be a bigger story behind it - as he would have just pushed for a move years ago - if that was the reason. Remember he was on the fringe of the England team.
Would have thought it was injury related. But then makes no sense for Harry to buy him after not really using him at spurs. And if it was attitude then again why would Harry buy him?
Because he isn't very good perhaps?
Dare!

The commentators mentioned yesterday that he wasn't 100% match fit yet.
Jay Emmanuel Thomas (JET) looks like he could be a good player for Bristol City. Saw him on Saturday and he's very strong looking. Got a languid style and bet he could easily drift out of a game. Still, was exciting to watch and he's scored tonight to out City 1 up!
Another ex-Gooner down here for City is Wynter who looks a great midfield prospect. Apparently Arsenal offered him a new deal and he declined to join City!

Emmanual Thomas was a huge prospect a few years ago wasn't he? There's been a fair few Arsenal youth in lower leagues down the years. Crawley had Sanchez Watt on loan for a period. Quality player and better than League 2. Wish he was bought permanently.

Have half an eye on Accrington - Portsmouth now, 2-2 with a few minutes left. Accrington's second goal was brilliant, the goalscorer is literally pushed towards the ball by one of his team-mates. Don't ever seem to see stuff like that in the PL.

Having been out all day yesterday I didn't find out the Crawley score until I got a text off my brother. 3-3, and apparently Tranmere scored in the 6th minute of injury when there was meant to be 4 minutes added on? Either way, 4 points from 6 isn't a terrible start by any means. But, clearly the defense needs solidifying as soon as. 5 goals conceded in 2 is pretty poor.

Lost 2-1 to a last minute penalty. Such a harsh result in the end. Had we taken our chances, probably could've won it. Nicky Adams is a top player for this division. More performances like that and I think the play-offs aren't far off at all.
Bournemouth are my second team having grown up in the area. Back in the championship for a second stint. Will be interesting to see if they can stay up and push on from there.
Nice parallels with Spurs, I.e. intelligent young manager, gets his team playing football the right way, club have come into money recently, etc
Try and keep track of ex-bmth players too and Danny Ings at Burnley is on fire at the start of this season. 21 and seems to be progressing really well. Could invite a team like Palace or Hull to make a bid before the window closes on Mon.

Matty Tubbs went Bournemouth but never got going, did he? Wish he never left. Sadly at Rotherham with a bunch of ex-Crawley staff and players (latest of which is former Crawley skipper Pablo Mills).
