St Landrew Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 Firing Jol was a smart decision.... As was letting Keane and Berbatov go, with Defoe keeping them honest. An established partnership that shouldn't have been broken up. Well, if you're a Spurs fan, it shouldn't have, anyway. Wonder how Gareth Bale feels this evening..? Sent off, and bottom of the league. What a difference a little time makes. Walcott's career was going nowhere only 12 months ago and, of the pair, he's now the man to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walcott's career was going nowhere only 12 months ago and, of the pair, he's now the man to be. Sure losing Keane and Berbatov was bad for them, but they let Malbranque and Chimbonda go and neither of those two wanted to leave. Those two would have made a massive difference today, they didn't even try to replace Malbranque so they just have a ridiculously un blanced midfield and no one who can play left wing well. They need a midfielder who can actually tackle, you're never going to win with a midfield of Bentley, Jenas, Modric and Lennon - no balance at just four fancy dan creative players.

Saint Martini Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 To be fair they had Zokora, he can tackle. Anyway, I totally agree with your comments on Chimbonda and Malbranque. You have to wonder what they did to upset Ramos so much that he wanted to get rid of two perfectly capable players (apart from them being Jol's players). The Spurs squad is just totally unbalanced and you have to wonder why they waited so long with finding replacements for Keane & Berbatov. They knew early enough that they were leaving but it took them until the last day of the transferwindow to find two "replacements". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't rate him at all either really. They shouldn't have wasted 15m on Bentley, should have kept Malbranque and they should have signed Arshavin with the Berbatov money and any left over money spent on a DM, someone like Kompany at City would be ideal.

Saint Martini Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 Zokora isn't exactely my cup of tea but he can tackle Anyway. Agree with you comment about Bentley, although I do reate him the difference between him and Malbranque is not that big (and on current form Malbranque is a lot better). Don't know if Arshavin would have been the solution, too similar to Bent in my opinion but he would definately have been a better option the Pavlyuckenko (who is not the best professional, just read Hiddinks comments about him prior to the Euro's). Anyway, good luck to whoever is going to replace Ramos is finding another striker and a proper DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 They've got some seriously good players there, it's just the new manager or Ramos if he's given time needs to strike a balance and find his best team. Maybe it's time for Huddlestone to come in and anchor the midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 19 October, 2008 Share Posted 19 October, 2008 Capello's been in the job for a few months and has learnt pretty good English. Ramos has been there much longer and can't string a sentence together. Methinks he can't be arsed. Methinks it's rather funny. Would absolutely crack-up if Spurs or Newcastle or both went down. Looking at what Hull and Stoke are achieving it's not out of the question that one of them will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 20 October, 2008 Share Posted 20 October, 2008 Ramos is a Spaniard, he needs a squad of 16 Spaniards,4 Dutch,2 Poles,3 Argentines and 8 Brazilians.

Window Cleaner Posted 21 October, 2008 Share Posted 21 October, 2008 Comolli is fired and not Ramos, didn't see that coming although with the failed transferpolicy I think this is a justified decision. In fact, that's what Spurs board said would happen if the results didn't improve. Probably less expensive to fire than Ramos. I believe Comolli is held responsible for the sale of Berbatov nd Keane against the wishes of Ramos and the purchase of some Russian wonder kid of whom I forget the name. They wanted Arsavin (is that right?) but couldn't get him so Comolli was determined to get a Russian for mega bucks. Why? I 'll leave you all to speculate.

Andy_Porter Posted 21 October, 2008 Share Posted 21 October, 2008 They wanted Arshavin but Levy didn't want to spend the money, nothing to with Comolli there. He didn't have much of a say with Keane or Berba either, both went for massive money - Comollis problem was not replacing them properly. Replacing Berba and Keane with Pavulychenko (knackered after a full russian season and no break) and Campbell (on loan at Hull last season) was never going to work. His biggest mistake IMO was not replacing Chimbonda (no replacement full back at all) and Malbranque (no left winger). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
