I am not too keen for Caroll giong to League 1 or League. I reckon the gulf of quality is too big and last thing I want to see is Carroll adapting himself to League 1 football. Ligue 1 on the other hand

In all honesty I can't see how Carroll would get many games in a Championship club. He is still raw, and very young. Surely Championship clubs could get older and more experienced players like Dean Windass or George Hosfield who would do a similar job?

How about Ashton and Bent? Them as squad players would be a waste of talents and space. I highly doubt that they would settle for a squad place only. There will be plaenty of clubs willing to offer them firm first team places.

I think, when we bought Carr he was a decent fullback. When we bought Boumsong he was a good central defender. When we bought Luque he would have walked in almost every La Liga team.

I would leave the decision to this top class manager. He would know more than me that's for sure

I think Watford is going to kick asses in Championship next season, as long as they get a good keeper to replace Richard Lee who is inconsistent to me. A pair of fullback and another more skillful and positive minded central midfielder (compared to Mahon) too. Priskin, King Hoskin, Kabba (Worst buy of Boothroyd without a doubt) Bouzza, Rinaldi, Williams, Smith Mahon (Not positive enough, even though club captain), Al Bangura, Francis (Boothroyd shouldn't have bought him), Williamson Steward, Shittu, DeMerit, Mariappa Carlisle, Doyle, Chambers Lee

4 million, no thanks then. We spent 5 million on Duff and we might as well stick with Duff (not old yet) and spend the 4m elsewhere.

Priskin cost 1 million. Hoskin is as young as Priskin. What do you think about Rinaldi and Al Bangura?

Will Hoskins no technique Are we talking the same player?

"It's not my squad" is a terrible terrible excuse, worse than using injury as an excuse. Every new managers work with squads left by the predecessor, MON works with what DOL left him, Curbishely works with Pardew's players etc. Only Martins, Duff, Gooch and Sib are his players but he forgets how many times the likes of Solano, Milner, Given, Parker etc save Newcastle for Roeder. Would he dispense with such players? Wake up Roeder.

I suggested Bouzza long time ago But honestly I don't think we should go for him because we already have N'Zogbia and Duff. Unless we are getting him as a forward but he will cost a fortune as he is perhaps the only reason Watford still score the odds goals here and there. There are quite a few good young players collated by Boothroyd in Watford. If we are looking for a tap in striker we miss the boat on Tamas Priskin. He won't be world beater but at less than a million he is more than value for money. Will Hoskin too, we should have gotten him at the price he was bought by Watford. An enigmatic forward whom I think will kick asses in Championship next year. Adrian Mariappa, I thought he would be a good right back for the future but watching him against Man U make me think twice.

Mikel Arteta £2m Patrice Evra £5.5m - At the point of purchase hard no one (fans) would think Evra at 5.5m is good and cheap. And initially he struggled in the premiership. Lee Young-Pyo £2.05m Phil Neville £3.5m - Hardworking useful utility player, no really our priority. 3.5m is not really cheap either. Henri Camara £3m - Not cheap and not good enough Benni McCarthy Undisc. Hatem Trabelsi Bosman Lauren Undisc Sol Campbell Free Lucas Neill Undisc - Not cheap Steed Malbranque Undisc - Not cheap and not needed Nelson Haedo Valdez £3.22m - Not cheap Juan Pablo Sorin Undisc. Diego (Werder Bremen) £4.08m - Not cheap and not needed Maicon £4m - Not cheap, although he is a class player and hence would be expensive Lucho Gonzalez £2.46m - Not needed Nihat Kahveci Undisc Aleksandr Kerzhakov £3.34m - Not exactly cheap Yaya Touré £3.03m - Not needed Moussa Dembele £3.42m - Not exactly cheap Aldo Duscher Bosman (Going to Lyon) Hamit Altintop Bosman (Going to Bayern) Diego Placente (Price not known. But he can’t be that expensive) Yoann Gourcuff £2.39m Julien Escude £1.37m Stephen Appiah 5.5m - Not cheap and not needed Standout transfers have to be Mikel Arteta £2m Lee Young-Pyo £2.05m Benni McCarthy Undisc. Hatem Trabelsi Bosman Lauren Undisc Sol Campbell Free Juan Pablo Sorin Undisc. Maicon £4m Aldo Duscher Bosman Yoann Gourcuff £2.39m Julien Escude £1.37m

The lost Michael Carrick, and replace him with Zokora. There is more steel in the midfield but they sorely miss the forward advance of Carrick. Jenas can't fill the void. However for Spurs, I still think that the sacking of Dawson and Robsinson is more important than the acquisistion of a midfielder better than Jenas. With King seemingly injury prone and Rocha no where near the standard of fellow countryman Andrade, Cavalho and Meira, a central defender would be the priority.

I'd rather pay 1.7m on Kerzhakov than 5m on Duff. A striker is significantly more a priority than left winger. And 1.7m is not much compared to 5m and huge signing on fee.

Tottenham need to get rid of Michael Dawson and Paul Robinson. From a selfish point of view they shouldn't go but for Spurs' sake these 2 are liabilities now. Apart from looking fierce Dawson is error prone. Apart from looking angry Robinson offers nothing more than routine save. Zokora needs to go forward more and Aaron Lennon needs to vary his play aside from kick and run if he wants to be a top class player. Of course, if all Spurs players are better they won't be where they are now. BOttomline is, Dawson and Robinson should not be any near to the national team. Lescott and Taylor are better than the former and Foster, Carson, James and Kirkland better than the latter.

Have you got any other Spurs forum you would recommend?

Have a good day OzzieMandias. You seem to be in a long haul

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

It depends largely on the manager. If a manager of Fergie, Rafa, Wenger and Mourinho's class is managing the England team, then I would expect top or 2nd.

You also remember that England reach any quarter final under Hoddle? f****** ridiculous good point. we spent millions and went what? 1 match further. Great. You know Souness managed to get to quarter finals don't you? Boy do England spent millions on buying players :lol::lol: I know you are trying to be stupid but even a fool NE5 realised that players are dearer than managers ... sigh so your not going to come back to me on the original point then? You're just going to come out with obvious s**** to defend your ridiculous viewpoints? No comment about Alf Ramsey playing Lichtenstein? No comment about Souness reaching a quarter final? fcking manc lover :lol::lol::lol: Mr Vic, you replied to my comment with you money issue and now you expect me to ignore you because you were being silly? Did I say SGE is any better than Alf Ramsay? Slap yourself once. Souness reached UEFA Cup semi-final SVG reached European Cup final. Slapped yourself twice. PS I am a smog, so said Stevie. Torn between you and Stevie, Manc and Smog, I think I would prefer to be a Mackem.

You serious? I appreciate you being a smartarse but don't take it too far.

As you wish Vic. Excellent Candidates Ottmar Hitzfeld - Might leave Bayern Munchen after this season.. Swiss Super league, Bundesliga, Champions League winner. Marcello Lippi - Free agent; Serie A, European Cup, World Cup winner, Arrigo Sacchi - Free agent; Serie A, European Cup winner. Roy Keane - Mackem Manc. To wind up and offend the whole Geordie nation (and Mr Shearer) he might seriously consider taking the job here if Shepherd approaches him. Juande Ramos - Current Sevilla manager. Won UEFA cup with overwhelming convincing and attacking football. Decent Candidates Aidy Boothroyd - Massively overachieving with Watford. Tactically astute. Very ambitious. Very intelligent. Very passionate. Very young (35). Delima's favourite. Might prefer a bigger club than Watford. But can't imagine him working with Shepherd. Quique Sánchez Flores - Good record with Valencia. Might be sacked by Valencia anytime. But could take some time to adapt to EPL. Paul Simpson - Overachieving with Preston. Young bright manager. Might want a bigger club. Tony Mowbray - Decent track record with beautiful Arsenal style football. Might fancy a significantly bigger budget so that next time he won't miss out on players like Rowan Vine, Alan Barnett, Scott Brown and Kevin Thompson. Keith Amstrong - Finnsh league winner Big Grin Boyhood Newcastle supporter. Paul Jewell - Good record with Wigan, despite failing to attract players he trully wanted. Turn Heskey from donkey to horse. Young bright manager. Can't imagine him preferring Shepherd over Whelan. Chris Coleman - Establish Fulham as Premiership regular with tight budget. Very young (36). Might fancy a bigger transfer budget. Oh he has been sacked. Slaven Bilić - Wikipedia profile Rubbish Candidates Graeme Souness Bryan Robson Glenn Hoddle David O'leary Alan Shearer Gary Speed Lee Clark
