Am I the only one who sees a nice finish with the outside of the foot from Sverkos? Why do they keep saying it's off his shin?

GOAL!

Derdiyok should be on soon . Shame for Frei though.

Crosses the ball better and more often than Hleb.

Plasil on the left for Czech looks a classy player.

Rozehnal

Rozehnal's move hasn't been made permanent has it? If not I hope he plays well so we can get more money for him, or maybe even hold onto him, who knows?

Looking forward to seeing Derdiyok, don't think he is starting though. Seems to be one of the young guys we have had our eye on.

The whole settling thing was more of his mom's gripe and not his.

Was excellent when he first arrived at Arsenal and looked like he was going to be special then it all fell to pieces. Apparently, Henry used to be on his case and didn't really get along with him. Also, his mother didn't like England and kept hounding him to return to Spain, as she was intent on living with him due to his age. It was more her than him who didn't settle. There were reports when we were first linked a few months ago that Reyes now regrets leaving the premiership and wants to return, as Spain hasn't been a bed of roses as he thought it might be. Seems he's finally sick of his mom telling him what to do . Could be a very shrewd purchase.

No he has not, Milner has proved a hell of a lot more than huddlestone, a hell of a lot more. Simply because huddlestone has proved precisely nothing. Spurs will snatch their hands off if Everton are foolish enough to hand over that wedge for him. Milner has achieved nothing either! Other than of course being fortunate to play because of the lack of quality at Newcastle in the last few seasons. Huddlestone would walk into our midfield in much the same way, as he would be the best passing midfielder if he were in our team right now. Milner wouldn't get into Tottenham's team. Huddlestone is clearly a far more talented player than Milner. Hudd just needs to be used in a 4-3-3 as he doesn't quite have the mobility for the 4-4-2. Kaka, most of the time you talk a lot of sense but I'm sorry that is a bunch on baloney. Milner was first shone at a very early age in the prem with leeds, he went on to be one of our few consisten performers (admittidly not our best but consistent and more than justifying his place in the team) over the next years, he also had a hugely successful year on loan with Villa, arguably their best player that season. All of this has been done in the PL, he's rack up around 200 games in the top league or something hasn't he ? That's fantastic going for a player of his age. On the other hand Huddlestone, played decent for Derby in the Championship, was bought by Tottenham, and has played at the very most a handful of games where he's looked compendent. I don't deny Huddlestone's got potential, but that's all he's got, I think the majority of Spurs fans would agree that he's a long way from realising it. I understand all that, however do you not feel that Milner has benefitted from the mess the club has been in lately. The reality is if we had a decent right winger in the team these past few years then Milner wouldn't have been playing. My argument is that at a better team Milner wouldn't have played much, and at a worse team Huddlestone would have played a lot more.

I'm a little concerned then by the boys quality, to be frank if Tuncay and Emre are considered better than him then I hope we are not looking at him. I know absolutely bugger all about him, not exactly a huge follower of the fantastic turkish league and youtube is such a liar. It is a selection question, that probably any other manager wouldn't answer the same way. They are playing different (in comparison to Arda) and the Turks will play against the biggest favourite of the Group first. They want to take the safer option, i think. Bet, he will play against Switzerland. If you are good enough, you'll get picked no matter what formation you are playing. Would England leave out Gerard or Rooney, because they want to play a bit more defensive against team X ? The turkish national team hardly supplies the premiership with the leagues best player. If we are interested in a Turkish player then they need to be of the relative standard of a Gerard or a Rooney is to the the Turkish team. (and before you start I don't mean as good as those two players, I mean as relatively better than the rest of the national team). Isn't he only 19 or something? Maybe he's still on the verge of establishing himself in the national team? I dunno, I thought he was a bit older than that. Still doesn't change my opinion. If he's good enough it shouldn't matter, it didn't for Rooney at that age. He wont be the only player not starting for his country who could be could for us though will he Gomis Gomez Crouch they are just some of them we have been linked with They don't play for Turkey though that's my point. Turkey have not supplied the PL or even world football in general with a huge amount of quality players. If we are looking at Turkish players they need to be their best ones. Think your making too big a deal out of this tbh. Some managers sre ujst obsessed with experience and this may well be the case here. Look at England for example, everyone knows Bentley and Young should be in that first team but it still isn't happening, and the likes of Joe Cole, Beckham and SWP are clearly not as good as them both.

Nice time machine. Where did you get it from? HAHA.My bad, you want one, they are good? Nah, I'm cool. No more living in the past for me. Cheers.

If not could be yet more good news for us.

Nice time machine. Where did you get it from?

Quoted for truth.

Have to say for that price he is well worth the risk.. 6 million Euros? Are you kidding me? However the way Spurs have been handling these young guys recently, he will probably end up like Kaboul, Boateng and Taraabt not to mention Lennon i.e. won't really amount to much. Very good price though.

Gotcha. Eidur for £4 million.

THANKS DAVEY! What the heck have you got to be happy about when we haven't signed anyone? What a sucky birthday. got a birthday cake mate.... ok, you can have the candle you can suck with Just kidding buddy. Have a great one!

Probabaly been scouting Digard all this time and not Diane! Martins available for £4 million?! Yeah right. I must say though I have a feeling Kev might cash in on Martins and get a pacy tall lead striker to play upfront with Owen. Certainly not Gudjohnsen though.

THANKS DAVEY! What the heck have you got to be happy about when we haven't signed anyone? What a sucky birthday.

Wish some of our lot would take notice too. He says that every summer though and then buys a Zat Knight on the last day! I'll be taking no advice from that strange little man. We want players NOW!!! Who then goes on to play a pretty important role for us in an excellent season where we progress five places and finish sixth. Although to be honest, that's not what I was forecasting at the time. I do think, though, that if you've got the manager you think you should have, then you've got to trust him to do his job. It is the first week in June and all over the internet, people are going mental because their club hasn't bought anybody (except for Spurs, and well, they've always been a bit peculiar). People of the internet - chill the f*** out. Was only teasing! However, I bet you won't be so optimistic after MON makes Hoyte his first and last signing on August 31st.

Well that certainly works in our favour then. Gala won't be too happy about it though.

looks like he is on his way to PSG.
