http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6631191,00.html Good shout. He'll be 'doubtful' all week then he'll play. Mackem CH's will shit themselves when they see him in the tunnel. Mind games ftw.

Loan to buy Shriley? Can't see more than 5m either and that's if he plays his socks off till the summer. Either way, Redkanpp's comments haven't put Spurs in the best of bargaining positions. We know they don't want to be lumbered with him and should start bidding low. £5m will get him imo.

Given the fact Redknapp has made it perfectly clear that he's not got a future at Spurs, criticised his injury record, not too many clubs after him (that I've heard) I can't see the fee being any more than £5m tops. Could be wrong like.

Fantastic 3 points on the road against a very very poor Wigan. No way on earth will Wigan get 6 more points than us from the rest of the fixtures so there's one side I think we'll finish above. Wolves could well become the second given their next 6 games. If we manage to turn West Ham over on Wednesday then they could well be the third. Fingers crossed. Thought Pardew got it pretty much spot on with formations, tactics and subs. Would have brought Ranger on instead of Best but we got the win so it's all good. Can't complain with a win and a clean sheet away without our top scorer and best player. Played lads.

I'd be astonished if he's not back for Sunderland. Honestly think he'd tell the physio he was good to go even if he was still in a bit of pain.

Simpson has been excellent. Taylor is still a liability though.

Should have had this one won already.

That would have been the best goal I'd ever seen.

Chocolate. Sexual Chocolate.

Krul would have caught that and not conceded the corner.

Can you imagine the circus every training session and match? No thanks. Not happening anyway thankfully.

I quite agree. It's either Souness-like stubborness/ego tripping or completely absymal judgement. Bingo. That's exactly what it is. (If the journos are right obviously)

If Pardew is still overlooking Ranger because he's attitude isn't good and he's playing Smith instead he needs sacking on the spot. He needs to pick the best XI possible and Smith shouldn't be anywhere near it.

That, gentlemen, is the sound of the barrel being scraped. Our best option upfront is Alan fucking Smith. Fuck me.

You'd start with Lovenkrands? Why?

All signings are gambles. But we have to take them with the squad we are at. Correct. Fuck me.

If there's not much cash on the go this month then spending most/all of it (apart from the Ben Arfa deal) on Bentley is a bit of a gamble like, it's got to be said.

Agree with Nixon ( ) and wouldn't mind seeing how he does on the left and cutting in. He's got/had a decent eye for goal and a good shot on him. Would also mean we could switch the wingers and/or move Barton infield if need be.

Are Middlesbrough really sponsored by a chain of pawnbrokers?

Don't. That's the type of challenge Bentley will accept! http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/3118/motivator08313f31179429.jpg I thought he was black........................ I'm not as exited now, ffs. Who was I thinking of then? http://press.comedycentral.co.uk/files/imagecache/showhub-b-main/2009/05/13/davebensonphillips.jpg Dave Benson Phillips? Name some black gentlemen that play for Spurs? For the life of me, i can't remember who i was thinking of. Kaboul. Defoe. I think i was thinking of Huddlestone. f***ing hell man I blame to much drink last night...... Bet you £100 you're not even old enough to drink. Initials LC yeah?

Fuck me.

He might be a decent buy, and this isn't relevant to how well he plays or anything.......but I've always thought Bentley was an absolute bell-end.

Bentley, Keane and Kranjcar + £25m for Carroll.

If his head is right then it's a good buy. Moving will give him a fresh start and a regular place. As long as the fee and wage are right then it's all good.
