I say we approach Sakho asap before he signs a pro contract, get Lulinha on 08 pre patch and of course grab Henri Saivet.

Sorted.

On a serious note, I think we should look at a central defender, maybe Samba from Blackburn or this Lovren (he's bound to be a triffic lad). Reserve keeper I would go for Joe Lewis or maybe look for someone similar to Cudicini, that could come in and do a good job from the start, there's not many about though? How come no one has touched Vincent Enyeama? He can't be that bad can he? Cheap price tag too.

Three players who could improve Tottenham Hotspur







It’s been mostly a very good season for Harry Redknapp’s Tottenham Hotspur, but home defeats to Stoke City and Wolverhampton Wanderers suggest that there is still a bit of work to be done. Sport.co.uk makes a few suggestions…

Name: Carlton Cole
Club: West Ham United
Position: Center forward
Age: 26
Estimated value: £15m
On the face of it, Spurs have one of the strongest strike forces in the league. But Robbie Keane has not looked like the same player since returning from Liverpool, Roman Pavlyuchenko is effectively frozen out and Peter Crouch, although a regular goalscorer, plays too far up the pitch to contribute sufficiently to Spurs’ passing game. Cole also offers goals and aerial threat but he also leads the line well, which could see him linking up with Jermaine Defoe to blistering effect.

Name: Gael Givet
Club: Blackburn Rovers
Position: Centre-back/left-back
Age: 28
Estimated value: £8m
One of the few shining lights at Blackburn this season, the French defender only made his move to Ewood Park permanent in the summer but must already be wondering what on earth he’s let himself in for. He can perform admirably in two positions: one in which he would provide invaluable cover for the ever-crocked Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate, and one in which he would represent an improvement on Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Gareth Bale.

Name: Scott Parker
Club: West Ham United
Position: Central midfielder
Age: 29
Estimated value: £10m
Wilson Palacios and Tom Huddlestone have linked up well in the middle for Spurs this season but, should the former pick up an injury, Spurs would lose vital dynamism in a crucial area of the pitch. Huddlestone and Jermaine Jenas err on the side of languid so Parker’s all-action style would cover the bases to keep the first XI strong throughout a whole campaign.


cole and parker? are you on commission from west ham? for cole one good season does not make you a class player (remember one blackburn player that had a good season and we bought him)

would'nt like to see any of them play for us - though i'd like to see jenas learn to pass forward rather than sideways or back

Only world class players can improve us now imo.

Maybe if we find a superstar midfielder in the Fabregas ilk, we tried with Berbatov when we signed Pav.

I say realistic targets include young wonderkids and a backup for Gomes.

O'hara>Parker Bent>Cole Bassong>Givet

If we buy Cole Ill cry, Id honestly rather bring back Gary Doherty. Think about he'll cover upfront and central defence, and will cost what £2 million!

:p

established world class players are unlikely to join us. I agree its the potential world stars of the future we should be targeting - not as young as Parrett and Bostock but players in their early 20s

Dejan Lovren - Steven Defour - Joe Lewis are examples

but we also lack experience and winning mentality - Van Nistelrooy and maybe even Van Bommel would bring this

I was going to say, if The Wire is a movie it's a fucking long one.

Fair enough, an American mate used to get movie and show mixed up.

I think most are being unfair on Givet. He's predominently a CB who can also play at LB. So it isn't as simple as comparig him to BAE. I haven't ever really kept an eye on him when we've played Blackburn, or watched much of him or Blackburn in general, as I suspect is the case for 99% of posters here, but looking on their forums, he seems highly rated.
