Oooh, oooh, I can't wait!

 

Worth waiting for?  Maybe not.

 

You've let me down, you've let yourself down, and you've let the entire Spurs ITK community down.

 

But he did have the first part of his medical today.  Hope that helps rectify matters! O0

Think he'll be rotated tbh. Will definatly get the majority of games BUT players like Dawson and Kaboul will also be getting some time on the pitch.

 

Kaboul as cover for Cerny?

 

 

?

Kaboul and Dawson ought to be made to just sit in the stands, watch King and Woodgate and learn how it should be done.  Both of those are better than Terry.

Part 2 is looking at his medical files, which are being transported from the Boro to the bright lighst of London. The 4  artic trucks should arrive at some point tomorrow at White Hart Lane.

Tottenham have had a £7million offer for Jonathan Woodgate accepted by Middlesbrough, who have given the defender permission to talk with the London club.

 

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=510225&in_page_id=1779&ito=newsnow

 

 

Wonder if we'll match that now or not?  If Ashley wants to give Keegan a blank cheque,  it'd seem a bit silly not to use it to outbid/match another clubs offer for a supposed target.  If given the choice,  i'd like to think Woodgate would choose us.

 

No doubt in my mind that if he did have the choice, Woody would choose Newcastle.

 

££££££££££

 

No, location.

 

Northern lad, played for Newcastle before, wouldn't have to move.  If he did have the choice I can't think of one good reason why he would opt for Spurs.

 

That's what I thought then, it's still what I think now.  Absolute staggered that he's turned Newcastle down.  Delighted he has, but staggered nonetheless.

 

So whats happened in the last 48 hours to make you go from being unhappy about bidding to being delighted he's turned us down for you lot?

Easy why he'd turn us down. He's been here before. Spurs are a good club where he'd get a regular game when fit.

 

He'd get regular games at SJP if fit.  If he was fit he would be a nailed on starter at either club tbh...... or if he wasn't, he should be.

 

You're a better team than us at present and he might not want to go somewhere he's played.

 

I thought he would be happier playing for a manager he knows, plus the fact that he wouldn't have to move.  I don't know if he has kids but I was thinking of schools etc.  Guess I was wrong though.

When he got called back up to the England squad while at Boro there was plenty of mongs on GG saying Dawson was better than him. :lol:

He's obviously better than Dawson but still massively overrated. People like to cling on the things players did in the past as some sort of evidence that their still good players.

I, like many on the Spurs forums, were assuming his injury record from Real had continued with Boro.  I had no idea he had stayed as fit as he has, hence my initial apathy.  On top of that, the first choice CB was Jarque but he picked up an injury ruling him out as an option for this window, Garay was next but seems there would be work permit problems, Woodgate was an option but I don't know whether he was even 3rd choice.

 

What is obvious is that Spurs need more experience at the back than they have currently, I personally was hoping for Garay.  But I know Levy won't pay £12/13m for a player to go on loan for a couple of years while he gets work permit qualification.  Abramovich might but Levy wont!

Bollocks. You thought he wasnt going to join so you down played him & now it looks like he is signing so you big him up. I would do excalty the same  & so would most football fans.

Lol, where has that come from? Terry is an excellent defender who has been onthe top of his game for 4/5 years now. Woodgate is a fine fine defender who on his day is every bit as good as Ferdinand. What is everyone basing there opinion on Woodgate on? This season?

The nearest in ability to a fit Ledders is a fit Woodgate.  You're talking as though Woodgate is about to draw his old age pension, he's 28 ffs.

I had a proper go at my lass the other night. When it looked like we might be getting Diarra, she was playing down his attributes, saying he was leightweight etc etc.

 

Then as soon as he signs for Pompey she's like 'Yeah, and he's a proper player, he'll be like our Viera' etc etc

 

 

She got a proper PegasusBridge backlash for being a fickle fucker.  :lol:

When I first said I wasn't happy, Woodgate looked like he was going to Spurs, Newcastle hadn't even put in a bid for him.  The change of opinion is for the reason I explained to Baggio, nothing more, nothing less.

He may as well be 76 with all the injuries he's had.

48 hours a go it looked like he was more likely to join us.

 

Directly after my post saying I wqasn't happy, the Janitor posted:

It didn't look more likely that he would join Newcastle at that time.

Is it so hard for you to acknowledge that some people may actually not rate Woodgate as much as you?

Ferdinand is the best defender in the country.

 

A little under-rated by Premiership and England fans. A better defender than JT, King and Woodgate with ease.

 

A fit Woodgate would more than match Ferdinand, not seen too much of King to be fair. JT isnt as good as an on form Woodgate, again not sure about King.

I deliberately left Rio out of my comparisons.  I think he gets close to Bobby Moore who was the best English defender I saw on a regular basis.  I did see Duncan Edwards once who might have turned out to be the best, but sadly never got the opportunity to achieve that.
