I stopped reading when I read his assessment about Gallas and Dawson. IMO the he lost credibility for what he says about Gallas, and that Dawson being our saviour for the past few games? crap! Gallas may have cost us a couple of late goals but has more than made up for it with outstanding performances where we would have lost without him. Games like ManUtd this season. Of course he has passed his sell by date, and is slower but he has more than made up for it for his leadership and experience, something that you cannot coach.

We think along the same lines.

Yes but Gallas is a winner and we don't have many at the club. He's there to try and help us to stop panicking as Caulker has towards the end of games. He could still play in the FA Cup to give the centre-halves a break, with Kaboul not match fit until probably March, bodies are needed.

But with bae back that leaves us with three quality cbs. No need for gallas now. Dawson and jan jave plenty experience between them.

"Yet still there is one club who give me shivers down my spine, and not simply because I support them, but because this is a team with serious potential. This team is Tottenham Hotspur FC."

Erm...it probably is really.

Exciting .. You never know what is going to happen next

Plenty of goals, not always scored by Spurs.

But hey - That's been life life since the mid sixties when I first watched them at WHL

A club needs 4 centre backs not 3, if one gets injured you have no cover with 3 which is utter madness.

6 weeks is what steffan said the physios said and he is already road running now.

So I think he will be back in action by mid Feb or earlier. The physios always say it's later so when a player returns earlier it looks good on them.

Gallas may be nearing the end of the road but he was a great signing by Harry and has saved us many times. Don't forget the questions over his attitude when he signed, for all the debate he came in and has been a model pro and has no doubt helped our youngsters too.

I don't think Dawson makes any less mistakes than Gallas but I wouldn't say either of them are dodgy either. We're lucky to have them both.

Gallas was ok when he first came. Not my choice of a Spurs player tbh more a redknapp stop gap but he did a do a job a couple of seasons ago. One which he was very well paid for.

Dawson is superb for us and lives and breaths Spurs. Gallas is a liability now.

Our trio and soon to be quartet of CBS is one of the best I have seen at spurs in a long long time.

Especially as Gallas played in two of those three clean sheets (and lost his place through injury) and Dawson only played in one of them.
