He cost far less than £9.5 million. I'm not sure what the actual fee was, but probably less than £3 million.

A lot of you seem to think Richards will go and he's been linked with us. Is the general thinking that he isn't good enough?

Obviously if he stays that's that. But if it is decided it's best for him to leave, I think asking for a fee might prove difficult. I think maybe some sort of compromise might be made. Perhaps the buying club taking him on a loan deal and paying a fee for the loan period. I think we charged...

What do you think will happen with him then? If Mancini wants to bring in other players, do you think that Bellamy would be kept on for the sake of it? Reallistically can you expect another club to pay a transfer fee for him when he himself has said he only thinks he's got another season left...

I think if he is available Harry will be interested. But I doubt we'll buy him from you. If he leaves I'd imagine it's because Mancini wants to bring in other players and accepts that at his age Bellamy needs to be playing first team football regularly. So despite costing a fair bit and only...

From a Spurs fan point of view I don't understand how Gomes is still so under rated. He had a terrible start in the Prem, but prio to that he was superb for years at PSV and Hiddink said he was the best in the world, so he had pedigree. Since his dodgy first 6 months he's been magificent and...

Thanks for the kind words guys. Sorry about the Spurs fans who made the pointlessly stupid post earlier. We went through what you are going through now in 2006, so most Spurs fans can actually empathise with how shitty you must feel. I've only just got over our 2006 season. However, you guys...

Glory-Glory isn't one of the top Spurs forums. The main SPurs forum are closed forum such as COYS, FTL and SC. The open forums are the smaller forums that have low membership and are easy to join. The big 3 I've mentioned have too many members and at certain times the server runs very slow, so...

Do you have links to these forums and posts? I'd like to see them.

Martin Jol. A top class coach is needed. It's easy to pay big money and get quality players, but getting them playing decent football, as a team is tough. Jol is very highly respected as a coach, but also has the presence to deal with big egos. He was twice voted Dutch coach of the year and...

I'm also a HSV fan and joined when we played you. Today there was a link on a Spurs forum to this thread, as it included apparent ITK claiming we were after Barry.

He's a Spurs fan. The only info he's ever got right was taken from Spurs messageboards and nearly every post he makes involves Spurs in some way. I don't know why he's taken seriously on here. I'm a Spurs fan and we have well known and respected ITK's who were very clear about what was happening...

Re: Bit of Update TheNews ITK status seems to be based on the fact he got the Corluka stuff right. But he also admits that, like me, he is a Spurs fan. I can tell you that Spurs messageboard ITK's were saying exactly the same stuff about Corluika, before TheNews posted it here. As for us being...

But that is to win FK's, it doen't mean they can't scrap when the other team have the ball. Jarolim, for example, is known throughout the Bundesliga for falling over at the slightest touch, but on the other hand he's alos one of the best tacklers in Europe. Hamburg wont come expecting to...

We've just played at Stuttgart, Schalke and Galatasary. In a couple of weeks we got to Dortmund. German clubs are used to playing in front of huge crowds in atmospheric stadiums. I'm not biased towards Germany as though I lived there I am English, but the Bundesliga is the only league in Europe...

HSV will have Jarolim and Alex Silva in CM so will be very physical themselves. Jarolim makes the likes of Palcios and Scott Parker seem like they don't like a tackle. And Jol described Alex Silva as an "animal" last week. They will be all over the place trying to make sure City don't get into...

The atmosphere at Stuttgart on Sunday would have been more intimidating and though they lost, they didn't freeze. German clubs play in huge atmospheric arena's all the time. Germany has several huge venue's that sell out every week. COMS will be nothing to compared to what they are used to. It's...

He was really good at Blackburn, but they had a poor start to the season and fired him. The season before Hodgson tookover they finished 13th. He then took them to 6th, qualifying for the UEFA Cup. Sacking him after a poor run at the start of the following season was plain stupid.

I don't remember about Henry, but Drogba having a poor first season is a total myth. It's just that he didn't really start to score alot of goals until the season Mourinho started playing 442. Since that season (2006/7) Chelsea have reverted back to playing with one striker and Drogba has...

Silva has already replaced Kompany. Kompany never matched they hype during his time in Hamburg. He wasn't bad, but before he went there we was considered to be one of the brightest prospects in Europe, so the expectation was very high. De Jong and VDV were HSV's key players and to be doing so...
