·Spurs are a big club
Spurs shown this weekend that they are a very big club. tickets in their end of the ground went for over £1200, no other teams would get that kind of support for the Carling Cup final.
Spurs have won something in each of their last 5 decades. not many other teams can say that.
·English players are just not good enough
Carlos Alberto and then Baldini a member of Cappello's team said much the same thing. " We need to work on their technique"
England posses in my opinion one attacking player who the necessary technical qualities. That player is Joe Cole : he is able to improvise, if the ball its not played perfectly to him,. he is able to adapt to difficult conditions because he has the control
·The missing links
Tottenham need 3 players to be able to challenge the top 3. I say top 3 because Liverpool are some way behind the top 3 in terms of personel. This is reflected in Liverpool's league position.
The number one priority for Tottenham must be a top class goalkeeper..
·IIt's better to make a loss on Bent than a profit
It 's better to make a loss on Bent than a profit on Defoe. Why sacrifice Defoe because you made a mistake on another player. Defoe is the better player and always will be. Why jeopardise this season because he has 18 months of his contract left. Would any other top club do that?
·Taarabt the new Zidane? Maybe
From the glimpses they have seen the comparison does not look as far fetched as it first sounds. His latest appearance and his first in the first team under Ramos , was a 10 minute one against Arsenal, In the 10 minutes he should have been awarded a penalty after nutmegging anArsenal defender .
·Ramos has improved some players already
Certain players have improved under Ramos already, Zokora,Malbranque, Robinson and Jenas have all improved. For Robinson it is a return to form, Malbranque was playing well under Jol this season before Ramos's arrival, but he has been playing better than ever lately.
·Getting Ramos shows Tottenham are a big club
Getting Ramos proves that Tottenham are a big club. Tottenham were 17th at the time and have not won a trophy for nine years ,. Sevilla were 3rd in La Liga and the current holders of the UEFA cup. His appointment is a considerable achievement for a board that has made many mistakes over the years. Ramos might just make up for them.
·How can the truth be found?
Jol did not find out he was fired until after the Getafe match. Jol knew at half time. Jolj met the board 6 hours before the match. Compensation of £5m was agreed. £4m.The compensation could be only £1m if Jol gets another job quickly. Jo, did not want the summersignings . Jol did want them.
·Ramos, Capello, Lippi, Mourinho - not Hughes!
.We have been linked with Ramos, Capello, Lippi, Mourinho - Surely we are not going to end up with the relative nonentity, Mark Hughes! His CV is no better than Jols's. The other managers are all proven winners. Mark Hughes has not won anything. He was a failure at Wales. By 'failure' I mean he failed to achieve what must have been his major objective - to qualify for a major tournament.
·Newcastle v Tottenham Preview
Newcastle away is never easy for Spurs, ... it looks even more difficult this season. Newcastle have made a bright start under their new manager Sam Allardyce and are sitting a comfortable in 9th place having played one game less than a lot of teams...
