Does anyone else feel like Tottenham are stuck in limbo? Probably too good for the Europa League, not quite good enough for the Champions League. A situation that it appears impossible to free ourselves from. I’m not interested in the riches of Manchester City or Chelsea. I feel like any achievements they make mean very little as there are no real obstacles in either side’s way other than the impatience of their respective owners. It must be boring supporting sides with an unlimited budget. Or is it more boring being stuck in the Europa League for the foreseeable future?! I’m not sure.
Bring back the UEFA and Cup Winners Cups please. Straight up knockout competitions where teams play at their best rather than continual life sapping trips to Eastern Europe on a Thursday night. I realise there is a fair bit of revenue involved but I’m willing to do a fun run or a few boot sales to make up the shortfall. The majority of football fans whose teams aren’t involved in the Europa League have zero interest in it. For those whose teams are, it’s minimal at best until the latter stages.
I’m assuming Harry is going to treat the Premier League as our priority and the Europa League as a run out for players not seeing regular first team action. At least that’s what I’m hoping. Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool and Tottenham. They are the top six clubs in the country fighting for just four elite places. My problem is I now think that Liverpool are more likely than Tottenham to oust one of those first four mentioned. Is that the pessimist in me or the realist? I was surprised when we went to Anfield and turned them over at the end of the season, especially when the Pool had been in such good form. It could likely be my pessimistic outlook that garners these types of results for us so I should probably try and maintain it.
I suppose the forthcoming season was always going to be a little anti climactic following the euphoria of a Champions League campaign. I’m just not looking forward to it. More about hanging on to our stars than buying new ones coupled with the prospect of losing Harry Redknapp to England at the end of it. Am I missing some light at the end of this dark rather boring tunnel?!
we can only have 25 players next year..
i’d sell: alnwick, cudicini, hutton, corluka, woodgate, bentley, jenas, livermore, keane and pav.
Buy in 2 key players: tevez, rio
No, I don’t think you are. We had a great chance of consolidating a top 4 spot last season but blew it by relying on a totally ineffective strike force (ha ha).
So much for the club’s motto, eh?
gomez
walker king gallas bale
sandro
lennon van der vaart modric dos santos
defoe
wow!
who could we buy to boost this all star 11?
rio tevez you twat
tevez rio you TWAT!!!
I for one hate to see talent being wasted (Kranjcar, Walker, Dos Santos) while other players are being overused and pushed into exhaustion and injuries. A little more squad rotation here and there could do us some good.
Wtf! Not good enough for the cl, we only got beat cos of crouch and gomes and in the prem we would of easily got top3 if it hadnt been for muppets like crouch,pav, defoe and not forgetting the pathetic gomes.
How many muppets does it take not to qualify for the Champions League? Sounds like 4 to me. 😉
sell carlo, hutton, jenas, keane, pav, bassong and wilson we should look to hold on to niko and dos santos and if we can id like to see us bring in a falco or hulk up front parker to solidify that midfeild and move caulker up and give him a few games next season with gallas and ledley not relabl enuff for a hole season at the back £60mil max is all we need and we should already have that without the sales
Sell: Crouch, Keane, Defoe, Hutton, Bassong, Jenas, Palacios.
Keep Gio (although Harry does not like him he will be a big star)
Crouch is utter shite Defoe is not a team player.
Bring in a CB. 2 really good strikers and a youngster. and a wide man
Bring in Falcao, the Brazillian lad whose name I can’t spell,possibly one mid fielder (not priority) and Cahill or Tasci to ad competition/ cover at the back. Cover this with CL cash and the sale of Palcios, Bentley, Hutton, Jenas, PSB, and any 1 or 2 of our current crop of stikers and I reckon we’ll be good…if not maybe 6th?
