Re: if Mourinho goes to Spurs in the summer...

He's up to some kind of stunt. There have been loads of photos of him posing with random fans in London cropping up today. He could have easily done this quietly.

Exactly what I thought when I woke up this morning. Lipton's Mirror story makes that point too - he could easily have snuck in and out of London with zero fuss as he's done many times over the years. The very fact that he's made such a public meal of house hunting suggests he's sending out messages to someone. Maybe I'm totally wrong and he really wants AVB's job.

Whatever he's up to - I'm not ashamed to admit that I'd love to see Mou back in the premier league next season - just not at City!

Re: if Mourinho goes to Spurs in the summer...

Harry has done all the hard word at Tottenham, two to three more additions and they could probably peak next season and win the league.

I wouldn't have thought so. Remember us and the rags will improve also, and I'd be surprised if Chelsea/Arsenal were as shaky next year as they have been this.

Friedel, Parker, King another year closer to needing to be replaced, VDV looks to be on the out, will Modric still want to leave, will Bale be as effective under a new manager?

if Mourinho goes to Spurs in the summer...

Chelsea's a sinking ship there's no way he'll go there. He will only go to a club with a fairly good chance at winning the title. He thinks he'll be able to have a good shot at Tottenham.

 

[Manc in London]

I'd like to see Spurs' record against the top clubs this season when Ledley King has played.

I think this thread just proves that THFC6061 is a snide who only comes on to this forum to have sly digs at City and to convince us that everything about Tottenham is superior to City.

Re: if Mourinho goes to Spurs in the summer...

Spurs have had a blinding season SO FAR but as the post above suggests they have a number of playing staff issues

VDV On his way, he's not a happy bunny
Adebayor is on loan
Saha is on loan
King more or less finished
Friedel can't have long left

Which means that whoever comes in has to rebuild a squad with £30m Champs league money and whatever the Bale, Modric and VDV sales bring in and they're looking at at least eight players

Just to let you know Saha moved to Spurs on a free transfer

The job of turning Spurs into a team capable of winning the league will be a lot harder than what Redknapp has achieved so far. The final steps needed to truly compete with City and United will be mammoth.

I don't mind him to be honest. Aside from the "despot" comment, most of the time all I see is a supporter of an opposing team defending his club in the face of what he believes to be inaccurate observations. I'd do exactly the same if I posted on another club's forum. And let's be fair, it's clear from reading his latest stats table that he's posted up that while Adebayor can blow hot and cold, he has still had a significant impact on Tottenham's season so far.

Spurs are football myth. They are supposed to be the great entertainers, yet we've scored a ton more goals then them. They're supposed to be on a shit hot sequence of results but their points tally has been nothing to write home about lately and their progress in the FA Cup has been faltering at best. The truth about Spurs is very different to the one constantly peddled by the media (it was the same last year incidentally). And then there's the equally bizarre delusion that Adebayor is playing well for them. He's been shit for Spurs whenever I've watched them.

Also, they have too many players of the annoying twat persuasion.

So "shit" that there's only one player in the entire Premier League with more goals and assists than Emmanuel Adebayor so far this season.

It does however make a mockery of Spurs' £8M valuation...

That's true. Going off his performances this season but taking into account his seemingly flaky state of mind, I'd say something in the region of £12m-£15m would be a fair price. If Spurs don't want to pay that then I reckon others may well be interested.

Re: if Mourinho goes to Spurs in the summer...

What the hell is he up to?

It does point to more pressure on the Real board. He did this last year.

Sorry mate, but if you think spurs will finish above chelsea next year you'r deluded.

 

[moomba]

Heres a pointless stat:

In 4 games against top 5 sides, Scotteeeeeeeeee Parker has averaged 61 touches per 90 minutes played, with a maximum of 64 touches in any one of those games.

In 18 games against non top 5 sides he averages 82 touches per 90 minutes played.

Flat track bully? Might not be missed so much against the rags anyway.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Am i missing something here?

wasn't 4 of those assists in one game against newcastle?

another 2 against wolves?

I'm no fields medal winner but if Adebewhore has performed in 33% of games this year i'll show my arse - he's a lazy **** who again will show his true colours when spurs offer him reduced wages in the summer and he politely says 'i have family to feed- fuck off' !!!

A stain on the modern game - vince lombardi would of poisoned such a man.

Re: if Mourinho goes to Spurs in the summer...

Chelsea's ship has already sunk as far as it's going to as long as they have Roman. It'll only get better for them from here, they'll sign more quality to replace a number of outgoing oldies and those who never were that good and have outstayed their welcome (Mikel, Kalou). The youngster de Bruyne they signed is a very big prospect and I don't see why they just didn't start playing him right away instead of sending him back to Genk on loan.

We've discussed this a lot and the only reason we can think of is that Genk insisted on it. Even if he's raw, he'd be able to do a job on a position we're in dire need of strengthening. Didn't make sense.

Re: if Mourinho goes to Spurs in the summer...

I think it'd be brilliant, in fact i want Chelsea and Arsenal and Liverpool to sort themselves out as well. I don't want to win titles by default, i want us to beat the best. I don't care if we don't win it every season, but when we do win it, i want it to feel like we've really fucking earned it. The satisfaction will be so much greater.

U*shited are just two points behind City.

Lampard on 15 and he is on the bench all the time at Chelsea. Impressive i have to admit.<br /><br />-- Wed Feb 29, 2012 4:30 pm --<br /><br />

Isn't the idea to score or assist as many times as you can in a game? Does Dzekos 4 goals at the lane not count because it was in 1 game?
