I don't know about the rest of you but I want this Salah guy from Basel! He's only 20 and looks like he could give Lennon a run for his money on the right wing already

I said this when I was at the lane last week. He bossed us and I'd have him at spurs all day long

Dawson's performance last night was BRILLIANT. Leading the team by example. Holtby's work rate was also very very pleasing to see. Fed up of seeing the lazy Ade/Dempsey though.

Believable2 Unbelievable4

Maybe we need to get Ade a mask. Look what it did to Torres

Poor Ade should have gone to specsavers.

Agreed, Dawson was another class last night, a man on a mission. Also agree with Holtby. You missed out little Tom Carroll though, what a player, why hasn't he been given more game time? From what I saw he made 1 poor pass the whole time he was on the pitch. Both him and Holtby like their 1 touch passes. Is this the future for spurs.
All in all disappointed with the result but not the performance we played with great heart and spirit. Well done spurs!

I just think some fans are used to disappointment and mid table team. Over the last 5 years we have had a lot to get excited about hence why the anger here. Face it with Levy we are like the 66/1 horse at the grand national that steams ahead of everyone and drops at the 3rd from last hurdle or at best gets in the each way bet. Yes we are building a super stadium and yes we have one of the best training facilities in the world. I do know that costs money BUT are the players getting better with the new training ground or better parking spaces for there flash cars or de lux changing rooms. Levy has a lot to answer for.

That does not give you the right to slag off every player when we have a bad result.

Agree1 Disagree3

Nameless response. Read again my posts. I am not slagging of every player ask the eds. However this is a great site to air opinions. I dnt even want you to agree. A lot here don't agree but I respect there views more then yours as they know how to sign there posts and not shy away. Except for the ones who want to get persional. You and your comment is my example. I am not talk about one bad result is consent bad results. Fulham, Everton, Leeds and many more have you forgotten them. You are the typical supporter (passionless) just like some of our players
mr g

Agree2 Disagree3

Mr g, yourself, davo and guvnor are the most negative posters on here.
You can't seem to wait to pounce on our defeats when they happen. We will go through a whole season winning games we shouldn't win and losing games we shouldn't lose.
Some of the stuff some of you post, gives trawling apposing fans all the ammo they need. I just wish our fans would learn to dust ourselves off and move on to the next game. I'm just sick of individual players getting singled out for rough treatment. I don't want that starting when I go to the lane, so I hate it when hate spreaders single out individuals on banter sites. It don't take much to give people ideas. The manager picks who he picks. We all need to deal with it.

Davo guvnor and I negative looool. But the team is not or is the manager or levy. Jeeze I bet u clap the other team when they score a worldie against us.

This is for COYS and COYMFS. I can only speak for myself not the rest BUT i'm am pure spurs. i'm just fed up of us falling short year in year out. Selling our quality players and replacing them with average. i'm not a moron. Just won't to win. Levy is the one who calls the shots at the lane. As I dnt want to shoot AVB down we need to address a few points. We all wanted Adi to sign after last years performance (is that harry getting the best out of his players or Adi being lazy?Last night we needed goals and his sub were strange. But I still thing with money he can at least get the players he wants to move us forward. This squad is not as good as it was nor are the players. The players like Hudd, Galas, Lennon, Parker, Defoe, Dempsey and co have been there long enough to prove they are worthy of the shirt. Clearly they are not, Time for them this summer to leave FOR BETTER PLAYERS. Levy is the real problem here. Time to let the manager buy his own players and stay out of football affairs. Am I the only one who can see us going down hill. Even the youth players are not getting a change. Which is shocking due to the injuries we have. If they can get a look in now that mean they never will. We have been over achieving for years plus the other teams are slipping up. Apart from bale, lloris, vat, dawson who would get into the so called top 4. If we are suppose to challenge that means we need the same caliber of players as they have.
Dawson I must say wears his heart on his sleeve and his commitment to the cause at the least can't be ignored. If the rest had half of his desire to win we would be ok
over and out
mr g

Believable4 Unbelievable3

If the players, in your words, aren't good enough. Then why come on here spouting pure tosh about us under achieving.
I'm sick and tired of reading some of the tripe on here when we have most of our world class players missing.
We can't afford to do a city or Chelsea and line our bench with world class players, so when 5 first team players are out, then we are a mid table team at best.
Interesting stat for you.
April '12 played 33 won 17 drew 8 lost 8 goals for 59 goals against 38

April'13 played 32 won 17 drew 7 lost 8
Goals for 57 goals against 42

We are on a par with last season. It ain't all bad. We finished top 4 last season.
So, when posters come on here wanting everyone sacked, it makes my blood boil. We should be slagging off our rivals not people employed by our club.
You slag off various players, ask yourself, would they start with a fully fit squad. No they wouldn't.
So lay off the players we have, that's what we have, that's what we can afford.

COYMFS.

Agree4 Disagree6

How can anyone disagree with you on this Coysmfs?
We are at the same point last year, even though last summer we lost Modric, VdV, winter-Sandro to injury and more recently Defoe and Bale. If this doesn't make a person optimistic I don't know what will. We have fewer positions to strengthen this summer. We will improve. Take this season on the chin, knowing next season we will be in a better position. Come on spuds stop being cry babies and focus on the positives. Nothing you say here will improve our on pitch performances but it can water down our enthusiasm for next season. We understand you're upset when we lose, but there's no reason to go on a tirade when everyone agrees we are on the way up with the stadium, training ground, and current team, all of which done sustainable.

Agree1 Disagree3

Coymfs your poits are not valid. Our world class player is only bale. i'm not asking of city or chelsea spending BUT
im sure we could have bought better for the money also our kids are not getting the chance. Football is a game of results. WIN not take part. WE want to win simple. let me ask you coymfs
Question: if we dnt get cl fottball next season and bale leaves then what? will you be happy? Levy won't spend. so then what? mid table team. Will you be happy with that? answer it as a man and a supporter that walks out of the ground grumbling
mr g

Agree1 Disagree1

Of course I wouldn't be happy but what could I do?
Moan and bitch about certain players or try to get behind the team and support everyone.
Certain poster act like hypocrites, they slag off certain players then big them up when they have a good game. I prefer to stand behind my club/players whatever ever happens. I stand/sit at the lane and sing for my team even if we are losing. I don't stand there and bitch about players in the stands. I hate hearing it. I hate reading it. They wear the colours of my club. If they ain't pulling their weight, I trust my club to deal with it. If you reckon you can see it, ie your Dempsey hang up, then they can see it.
As for your getting the youth players in, great, but it in a European last 8 or fighting for CL qualification. I want experience out there, good or bad.
This is my opinion, if you don't agree with it, tough. I don't agree with your opinion, again tough but I tell you what, you stand and bitch constantly about a player in Paxton road and you will be told to shut the eff up.

Ain't levy taught you anything.
Yea he a tight ass but only to save us a few million.
Bale had just signed a new contract.
If he leaves it will be on spurs/Levy's terms.
It will only be to Madrid. We will get players in return.
I think you slate us a bit by saying bale is our only world class player.
If you call world class as the top 10 in the world, then you are right but if you class world class as top 50 then you are wrong.
Add lloris, sandro, Verts, possibly Lennon (more of a scare factor than skill)
Our first 11 is easily top 4

Agree4 Disagree0

Yawn Mr g, heard it all from you before, seriously change the track it's getting old now!
You would be a terrible manager based on the fact you would just complain your players ain't good enough (what a morale boost that would be). AVB is just accepting that's what he has and is getting on with the job. So basically let him pick the team and decide who are not good enough and just get behind the team and help in the only way you actually can, support the side!

Bring back Oracle, atleast his repetitive bs is amusing.

Ps before you go on about me not signing off (as you always do because you can't think of a better way to negate a fellow fans opinion) it's my choice not to so get over it. Also I challenge you to know why you haven't signed in so we all know for sure it's you if you are so passionate about the "sign off"? Answers on a postcard please!

Ur name says it all. your happy losing in levy u trust. U couldn't even answer my question properly. I'm glad there is not a lot of you at the lane. Because supporters like u lay down and die. I hope we get in cl but not expecting much. But dnt worry I'll look out for you moans and remind u darling xxx

Agree1 Disagree4

Mr g, change the record. If all you have are attempted insults and boyish put downs, then you really have nothing to say that is of any use.
Now, your tears about the state of our team bore me. Bore me to the core.
Do you even know where the lane is.
Your mum had obviously let you have a beer or two tonight and your childish talk is boring me.
You and your cronies bring a sad negativity to normal spurs fans and your posts drag this site down to a bottom dwelling level.
I will be signing off now. You act like a Neanderthal. I won't be dragged down by a Neanderthal. I have said my peace. I hope normal spurs fans agree and join me in condemning the negativity yourself, guvnor and davo bring.
Great job as always ed.
see you at the lane fellow yods.
Over and out.

As disappointing the result in Switzerland, Spurs now have the perfect opportunity to secure Champions League Football. What last night proved is we lack the depth in the squad with a handful of injuries. Adebayor was back to his normal antics, and showed his commitment by strolling around in the last 10 minutes when the remaining 9 defended for their lives.

The sad truth is the squad is desperately short in many areas, and AVB fails to make examples of players like Adebayor who are not committed to the cause. I bet Coulthirst would have scored many more goals given the same playing time of our Togoan mercenary.

The changes required are significant, and we need to ship out some old guard for new talent. Looking at the preferred formation 4-2-3-1, here is my view of what is needed;

GK - Lloris is clearly the future for Spurs, but time to let the old man Freidel move on. We need a young future star like Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, who can develop alongside Lloris.
LB - I actually like BAE, but it is obvious AVB has other plans. With Vertonghen surely the future in the middle, and Fryers coming through, I feel we need a Bastos to replace BAE.
CB - Vertonghen, Dawson, Kaboul and Caulker proved great cover in the middle.
RB - I might be controversial here, but Walker has regressed in my opinion. He is poor defensively, and his attacking ability ad crossing is nothing short of appalling. Naughton given his chance in his correct position can flourish, but surely we need to sell Walker and buy a rock like Alderweireld at RB.
CM - Sandro and Moutinho must be the future, Dembele & Huddlestone provide the cover. Livermore is not good enough and we should sell him.
LM - Bale is the man, and keeping him is going to be very tricky. I would love to see us sign a player like Willian with real class, a two footed player able to play a part every match covering LM, CAM or RM with both feet. Using a player like Willian in rotation with Bale and Lennon will provide cover width, pace and quality every game. Just imagine Bale, Lennon or Willian coming off the bench depending on which two were selected, fresh legs, power and pace say no more. Sigurdson continues to improve as a great squad player.
CAM - Dempsey is simply past his best, Holtby is still unproven which leave a void. Christian Eriksen is surely the right player in the middle, Holtby his deputy and sell Dempsey.
RM - Lennon looks good and Willian could share the workload. Andros Townsend should be included as a squad player next term.
CF - One thing is certain, Adebayor has to go. Coulthirst, Pritchard, Coulibally and even Kane would have certainly outperformed him given half the chance. His pathetic penalty and smile when he missed was the sour icing on a rotten cake. Defoe has also been hit and miss, but at least he is Spurs in his heart, and capable on his day. One thing is certain we need a striker or two, I would get rid of both ours and get Negredo and Papiss Cisse. Negredo is obvious but Cisse looks like he could be world class in the fifth team. Talk of Benteke is worrying, as he is simply overrated and one dimensional.

Sell or release: Freidel, BAE, Gallas, Walker, Livermore, Parker, Bentley, Jenas, Rose, Dempsey, Defoe & Adebayor.
Buy : Ter Stegen, Bastos, Alderweireld, Moutinho, Willian, Eriksen, Negredo and Papiss Cisse.

One can but dream, fantasy football and all that, but we can all see who and what we need. Lastly before the serial naysayers start putting words in my mouth, this is merely a dream list of what I feel we need.

At least you know your team and squad players, well apart from Jenas who has already left you on a free to QPR.

Did you dream he was still one of your players or just see it in the Oracle.

Mr. D Unce

Agree2 Disagree1

So you want the bet young goalkeeper in the world to sit on the bench, someone who has only recently moved to Schalke to play left back, an average centre back to play right back and and a player who has just moved to Anzhi for huge money to rotate on the wings. Nice (sarcasm)

You need to update your Internet trawling oracle.

Obviously the above posts didn't read the last paragraph. ED you are correct even the most basic English seems to create confusion.

I had forgotten Jenas had actually left, amazing seeing as I thought he was one of the worst players in the last Century.

For the Ajax fan who clearly wants to keep Alderweireld, people said the same about Vertonghen, and he looks world class.

Lastly the guy who pointed out Willian joined Anzhi for £30m, I state again this is my wish list.
