He scored the most headed goals last season so he's not exactly ineffective. He'll also play well with Defoe as was proven when they played together at Portsmouth.

So we've had an offer accepted for Crouch and in talks with Sunderland over ditching Bent as well as having all but signed Vieira.

A lot of Spurs fans aren't happy about Vieira and think it's down to Harry trying to prove something. I've just read on one forum that lots of fans are saying they won't goto games if we sign him
I don't see the problem with signing him or any other ex-Arsenal, Chlesea or whoever players. As long as they come and do a job and give it their best.
Only player I'd never welcome at WHL in a Spurs shirt is Campbell.

At the end of the day, Arsenal couldn't care less about signing our players, so why should we get worked up over signing theirs? Especially as we're not signing directly from them.
He actually had a few very good games, really dominant, the problem was that he was too inconsistent. He would have 3 or 4 good games in a row and then one horrendous match, something you can't afford at the top level. He showed glimpses of why he was bought but at the end of the day just not good enough.
Senderos is very similar except arguably even less mobile, he's a yellow card waiting to happen if a forward pushes the ball beyond him and runs.
Newspapers are just full of ****

I think he might Upson was only ever played as a LB when he got the chance. He rarely got to play in the CB role which is a shame as he always had great promise. Im disappointed we havent got for him this summer personally.
As for Cygan... Again DM you say how bad our other players are but this is a classic! Your rating of players is much like Cygans playing ability...inconsistant!

"But Terry has now said: "I am totally committed to Chelsea, always have been. Me leaving was never a possibility."
Yeah he could have said that weeks ago, why now Mr Terry?
A payrise?
Just another mercenary.

does anyone think fergie will bring in any more players this transfer window? i know he said he wouldn't but does any one actually believe it
Possible more "unknown" players and young people like Nani Anderson etc.
I do not believe there will be a big name. The biggest 'name' signing could possibly be Douglas Costa.
However, I believe he is done.
Sounds like a pretty good weekend for Spurs all in all!

Adding insult to injury now they are quoting £12m for toure and they are upping their bid to £20m for Lescott.
If we do sell we sure as hell better get more than £12m for him or I might have to join DM's disliking Wenger club.

I guess this money lark is just weeding out the players with no loyalty or commitment. Greedy ******** is all they are. I mean you look at the fans who struggle each year to pay for the season ticket which costs £800 while the footballers are getting payed £100k+ per WEEK. The more you think of it its just sickening...
The game is swarming with greedy players who have more power than the club. Contacts mean absolutely nothing anymore and I think something needs to change. I mean whats the game going to be like in 10-15 years? I think it needs to change. More power needs to be given to clubs over their players and there deffintiely needs to be a wage cap.
Players should choose the clubs they play for for reasons other than money. It should be about football, club and fans, nothing more. No person besides doctors need to be payed £100k+ a week, its ridiculous.
