Deuce Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 And with 14 goals and 10 assists this year, he's still done very well. But he's just not that guy to really strike much fear into opposing defenses. With those stats it wouldn't matter if opposing defences all found him hilarious. Still a far cry from the 37 they had from RVP last season. They've done well to spread-out the goal-scoring this year, with Giroud, Podolski, Walcott and Cazorla all hitting double-digits. But while ManU has RVP, Rooney, Hernandez and City has Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko in addition to their attacking midfielders and wingers, Arsenal has Giroud up top and that's about it. Nobody said he was RVP. But the adoration certain players at this club without ever getting near to such impressive stats should remind folk to think twice. Such as...? Legitimate question. I don't think there are many here who wouldn't take Giroud in this side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 The problem with Podolski-Giroud-Walcott isn't quality.... its balance. All 3 like to crash the box, there is no variety there and no creativity despite being very different they all very much the same. Also Giroud would start for Spurs btw, he's much better than Defoe or Adebayor i also prefer Monreal and Gibbs to any LB Spurs has. Well put. Adebayor's been rather garbage this season and Giroud is a more complete player than Defoe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I am sick to death of Tottenham f***ing Hotspur Wouldn't mind being in their position, thats for sure. For all the sneering against Bale, he's doing it week in week out. Just wonder if Spuds would collapse if Bale was sold, though You don't have to automatically hate them now Redknapp's gone! A lot of begrudging will do instead. Anyway, Spurs would have qualified for the CL last year had Danny Simpson been capable of a simple throw in in the last minute of our game at Arsenal. It cost them far more than it cost us, and papered over what were gaping cracks at Arsenal even when RVP and Song were still there. They've been on the decline for years.

Neil Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Certainly clubs I dislike more than Spurs. I honestly think they're a couple of quality players away from a title challenge, and that's no bad thing really. Whether they'll have the funds to do so, and/or the general ability to attract the required level of player is a different matter, but I really don't think they're a million miles away.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 For me they're one or two players away from being a lot worse. If that makes any sense. They should be as vulnerable to regression as they are ripe for improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I just think it's easy to say that Spurs are on an inevitable upward trajectory. They are doing well obviously, and deserve credit for it.

Village Idiot Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thing is that Spurs are more at risk of losing Bale that ManU at risk of losing RvP or City losing Touré, for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 If they lose Bale then they clearly need to replace him unlike this season where they lost Modric. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 They have noticed the lack of Modric, imho, Bale's form has just masked it. Their attacking play just doesn't seem as varied, although they have a different manager too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 If they lose Bale then they clearly need to replace him unlike this season where they lost Modric. Is he replaceable though? What they'd basically be looking for is a player who's good enough to win them the majority of their games on his own. Not easy to find. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's probably what they should/will do, but overall it might mean they collect the same or probably even less points than with Bale. Long term it might be better for them I guess.
