Your Worst Spurs Player from the last 20 years?

[kaz Hirai]

I love that people use this an excuse for Pav's goalscoring, yeah he's been subbed at half time a lot, only because he was so fucking awful that he had to be.

I've never 'hated' one of our own before, but after seeing the abuse that Crouch got from some ****s on here and in the ground (although not so much from where I sit, we must be more intelligent in block 30....:lol I am now more than happy to say that Pav is one of the most dogshit footballers I have ever seen. He is utterly disgusting. I cannot wait for the **** to literally fuck off.

Now we have Adebayor, it's time for a real cult hero, and one who is actually good.

i believe i went on to say that even with the sub apperances it still wasnt a great record, you must read the whole thing dude

the point was, that those stats are better than alot of strikers we have had in the past, and he is definitely nowher near the top of worst players

I have always stated my belief that Pav was a panic buy. I have never sat here tounging his bumhole after a sweet finish because, like always his overall performances have mostly been poor.

I'm pretty sure our interest was first flagged up by some ITK in May 2008, and certainly no later than June. Terrible buy he may have been, but not a panic one.

Just think, we might have signed Podolski as well!

I think Pav was only signed to form a partnership with Arshavin.

Once we lost out on Arshavin and sold Berbatov, Ramos was royally screwed!

Sell him

 

[SpurSince57]

It was rumoured that Juanque had wanted Arshavin ever since Sevilla played Zenit in the UEFA. (Looks like we missed a bullet there, too.) Sevilla signed Kerzhakov instead and Ramos froze him out, like he froze out Chevanton. Where Berbatov was going to fit in if this anmazing Arshavin-Pav partnership materialised at Spurs God only knows. Did Ramos really think Berbatov wouldn't spit out his dummy if he didn't get his move to United?

I don't think we did dodge a bullet by not signing Arshavin. I'd still take him even now, I think the way we play would suit him. I'm not sure what Ramos thought about Berbatov matters much, wasn't Damian C in charge of recruitment when we were left woefully short in the striker department once Berbatov left? And pretty soon afterwards he got his P45.

I've thought long and hard about this and i've come to the conclusion it was Gilberto. Over the hill and didn't fit in, in any aspect, with the team at that time. Awful buy. Other than that, i can only think of a selection of average players who have gone on to do alright at their clubs after us :shrug:

I'd say his goal against West Ham automatically gives him higher ranking than Rasaik

I'd put Gilberto on a similar level to Ricardo Rocha

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Worst player? Rasiak for me. Easily.

I can't believe Pav is even getting mentioned.

 

[HodisGawd]

Depends how you judge it really doesn't it.

Raziak was just a stop-gap signing, a last-minute buy because we missed out on someone else (can't remember who). Raziak was appalling.

Andy Booth, only on load (so does he count?), was probably the most dumb signing. He was never, never going to fit in our team.

The most shambolic has to be Gilberto. Totally, totally out off the pace in the Prem and in the last two games he played was a genuine liability. God, I remember that goal. Awful, just awful.

I'll never forget our full-back pairing of Dean Austin and Justin Edinburgh. They were so bad, so Division 2, I used to actively hate them. Sorry, but I did.

But for me it was the left back Paulo Tramezziani (sic). This guy simply wasn't a footballer, he was just an Italian bloke who stepped off the plane who David Pleat mistook for the real classy Italian defender we thought we signed.

Rasiak cost us £2m and Pav cost us £14m........Gregor isn't 7 times worse than Roman.

 

[thfc1989]

If you take into account what he cost, then Bentley has to be up there

 

[BringBack_leGin]

If it's a value for Money thing then Bentley wins hands down if you consider that he cost 20 times as much as Aaron Lennon.

If it's a 'how much they pissed you off' thing then it's between Pavlyuchenko and Freund for me, probably with Freund just edging it because he was an even less worthy cult hero, even more of a pretender and even less able at most jobs he should have been able to do.

If it's just the single worst footballer then we have to go back to the Francis years really, and I for won still haven't forgiver Stuart Nethercott for his performance in the FA Cup Semi v Everton.

 

[nedley]

no chance, im in my 20s and ive seen far far worse, how old are you if you dont mind me askin?

pav has scored 38 goals in 99 apperances, note that probably half of those appearances are from the bench, or being subbed at half time. still not at allgreat but nowhere near the worst we have had.

I've seen some real shocking players in a spurs shirt, some truly dark times under Francias, Gross, Graham and hoddle

It all about opinions though isn't it.

I'm almost thirty and have supported spurs since being a small boy.

Ive already said he's not the worst player we've ever had. like you said there have been plenty over the years - Gilberto like somebody has already shouted is a good call.

But he wasn't a really bad player though was he? What 30 odd caps for brazil? But does his performances for us warrant a call up to the 'Spurs worst player of all time' - Yeah it almost does. He was shocking.

Well I feel strongly about Pav in the same vein. Taking his fee, what he's achieved in Russia and playing for his own country - and to come he and to be so constantly poor - he deserves a shout.

He has certainly got one of the worst touches ive seen from a spurs player.

Oh and I cant stand lazy bastards - and Pav is one lazy bastard.

Freund is the one who pissed me off for life but Pav is definitely getting there.

 

[fortworthspur]

so Pav's the new whipping boy?

disappointing yes, but the worst player of the last 20 years?

JJ has gone, we need someone to start threads about, especially now we are looking good in the league so we can't really start new is Harry good enough threads :grin:

Helder Postiga is a good one, big money at the time, big Rep. 1 goal in 20 games for us before we sold :lol:

 

[MR_BEN]

definitely going to be someone from during the 90's but i've drunk so much alcohol since then i cannot remember much about our team.

 

[Legend10]

Without doubt Jason Cundy, absolutely fuckin useless pile of horeshit!

 

[stormfly]

Freund is the one who pissed me off for life but Pav is definitely getting there.

If we are going down the 'player that pissed me off' route then Sol wins hands down.

 

[Niko]

People suggesting Pav is just farcical. Do you know how bad we were in the 90's?

 

[Spurrific]

van der Vaart - drop him already!
