2 crocks, a kid who's barely played lb in the prem and a guy who's proven himself in Scotland. Still a lot to prove

Well not that often as I suspect King will only play 1 game a week for the rest of his career.

Possibly right there. I'm thinking the same with Woodgate aswell. Thing is Kaboul and Dawson cannot play together but put King at the side of Dawson and he's transformed! Hopefully playing with Woodgate will do the same, he just needs someone with experience to back him up.

Kaboul will hopefully be the same... though personally I think he's one of the worst defenders I've EVER seen, truly shocking and I wish he'd **** off back to france the useless toad. He does have talent but his decision making is appalling. Thoug I've been slated on Spurs forums for saying that, most seem to think he just needs time to settle. I hope I'm wrong... it has been known lol

So I'm thinking Spurs should always have King or Woodgate to partner Dawson or Kaboul with Rocha also there and Bambi, sorry I mean Gardener.

For sure there's lots to prove, everything to prove infact but you have to admit there's some real potential there..?

Spurs don't have CL football so we can't buy a ready made outfit, we have to do it the harder way.

BaZ87 · 29 Jan 2008 at 16:21

Bale and Hutton have a lot of potential and Woodgate and King have proven themselves to be top CB's however they've also proven throughout their career that they can't stay fit.

If they stay fit and if Bale and Hutton live up to their potential then you will have a very good back line.

He's messing about because of family issues but Rangers are trying to push the sale through because obviously Spurs are offering very good money.

I think we're paying too much but if he keeps up his form and we can get the same money back for Chimbonda then yes I'd be happy to have him at WHL. I think he should prove to be an upgrade over Chimbo who I've had enough of tbh.

i thougth you liked chimbonda

anyway SSN is saying the deal for gilberto is complete and he is only waiting for a work permit

how long does that take normally hopefully he will play on saturday

I liked him a lot but things change. His attitude has changed this season and he's been a liability tbh. After the reported comments he made last week I think it's time he moved on, I'd be happy with £7m-£8m for him.

Not sure but I think his work permit should just be a formality.

Andy Cole's gone to burnley on loan till the end of the season.

big_white_dog84 · 29 Jan 2008 at 16:45

£8m for Hutton!

That's the best bit of business we've done since Boumsong!

Gilberto will more likely be first choice LB thinking about it, I'd imagine Bale being used LM.

Ripper · 29 Jan 2008 at 16:52

If Hutton turns out to be any good he'll only join us in a year or two anyway so it'll be good for him to get some premiership experience at Spurs.

placeholder · 29 Jan 2008 at 17:16

Yeah, its good to get him tested out at Prem level first - save us wasting money on him right now when we dont really need him!!

Chong Warrior · 29 Jan 2008 at 17:21

and two perfect examples of why everyone thinks Man Yoo fans are *******!

placeholder · 29 Jan 2008 at 17:27

Perhaps but the truth of the matter is undeniable. Step forward Mr Tevez!

Gooner14 · 29 Jan 2008 at 17:30

And what does Tevez have to do with this?!? He's not even a player Man United own.

BaZ87 · 29 Jan 2008 at 17:31

Hardly saving money though is it? If he were to leave Spurs they'd take you for mugs (again) and you'll end up paying way OTT.

Blinded by arrogance mate...

He proved himself at being able to play in English football at West Ham. They got the intial adjustment period and half a good season which kept them up. Man Utd then took him safe in the knowledge that he could cope with the Permiership straight away and not have the struggle to adapt that many South American players do.

Hutton for £8m right now is a risk. A year or two down the line if hes done well in the Premiership and got another 10/15 caps under his belt, dont be surprised to see Fergie playing £15m or so for him. Just the way of the world.

Not at all I was actually really only joking, no offence. It is the sort of thing that does happen and has happened through the years. Man Utd were linked with Hutton but at this point in his career it is a risky buy at £8/9m at his level of development.

A lot of Rangers fans are VERY pleased right now.
