Fabiano - wants to stay in Seville
Hunterlaar - not big on him, too slow (I'd rather keep Pav)
Dzeko - wants AC Millan or Man Sh1tty
Forlan - wants to stay in Madrid

My grandad is a Norwich season ticket holder and has seen a lot of that Connor Wickham who plays for rival Ipswich and he says he looks good. We've been linked with him and will have him go back on season long loan if the sale goes through.

I wonder who else we'll be connected with??

The other option would have been to go to a 4-5-1 and have Cole behind the lone striker but who would have that striker been? Crouch? Pav? Then what do we do with Defoe and Keane?

How it's looking:
Gomes
Corluka King Dawson BAE
Lennon Hudd Modric Bale
Defoe (New #9??)
We'll also have Krannjcar coming back to play down the left side as well. I wouldn't mind having another skilled midfielder to play in case Modric goes down, but I'm more concerned about having an elite striker.

My utmost respect to your club! Well done! Hopefully Liverpool follows suit soon!

Tottenham the first to ban the vuvuzela


Quote:
Tottenham have become the first Premier League club to ban vuvuzelas from their own ground ahead of the new season.

The noisy trumpets caused much controversy at the World Cup in South Africa and a number of Football League sides have already barred the instruments from their stadia, while rugby officials also took the step of banning them from next year's World Cup in New Zealand.

''Following discussions with the Police and representatives from the local licensing authorities, the club will not be permitting vuvuzelas or similar instruments into White Hart Lane on match days,''

Really want Wickham, not for this year at his age, but for the future

he has some serious potential to be a world class striker

ya it was a good game, Spurs played with 3 at the back (and only 1 an actual CB) most of the time so there were tons of chances

Jermaine Jenas is just useless though even against MLS competition, and the announcer going on about how Spurs fans are extremely happy to have 'world class' striker Robbie Keane back was wrong on both counts

Wish Ryan Mason would have gotten more of a look in these past few games hopefully he gets at least a half on Sunday, same with Taarabt

thank god, he doesn't improve the team in anyway

I think he might be one of the only midfielders in England that Jenas is better than

on Friday Spurs will draw one of these teams for the CL playoff

Dynamo Kiev

Braga

Sampdoria

Auxerre

Young Boys


the Sampdoria manager has all ready said the only team he wants to avoid is Spurs (the other seeded teams are Zenit, Ajax, Werder Bremen, Sevilla) which has me thinking we will get them

They should beat any of these teams and will be favored but in terms of who I hope they get

Young Boys (would be fantastic)

Braga/Auxerra/Sampdoria

Kiev

Harry was at the Norway/France game today, media saying it was to get another look at Remy

Also the media are also saying Stephen Ireland doesn't want to go to Villa, he wants to go to Spurs

I like Ireland, I don't know where he fits in Spurs with Modric and Kranjcar being the same type of players but I think he is a good player

Yeah, I'm not totally sold on Remy but I guess it's a start.

I still can't figure out how TSN has the rights to this game?

Everything but a goal for Spurs.

Defoe and Crouch cannot finish.

I heard a rumor Joe Hart was English, that can't possibly be true can it? surely he would have been starting at the WC

and if that doesn't show Levy/Harry that we need a top striker I don't know what will, the back 4 was superb and Gomes barely had to make a save. They dominated the midfield, no team will be able to stop Lennon/Bale for an entire game. Just sign someone to finish

I know that its pretty much been said that they will buy if they get in the CL proper, but I am tired of waiting

Gio looked good though in limited time and I think he could have a big role with the club this season as an impact sub/play when some of the regulars rest cause of cup games
