Definitely not a spurs fan

Agree5 Disagree2

Sounds like a jealous gooner, although he does have a point about Naughton

Agree1 Disagree3

Agree, naughton isn't good enough! Defoe is on fire, how can you call him rubbish? Could do with Dempsey scoring more goals but his assist rates pretty good! Sandro is one to watch, he's a top top player who we might struggle to hang onto if top comes in for him! One of the best defensive midfielders I've seen in a long time!! For me we need to bring coulibaly into set up, give the boy 20 mins at the end of the game to show us what he's got a the top level, he looks a player at u18 level!

Agree0 Disagree0

How can he have a point about Naughton? He is a RB playing at LB, Bit unfair to be critical. Bit like asking your Bin man to fix your car!!

A premiership worthy player should be able to make a 5 yard pass wherever he is on the pitch.

I think Tottenham wont make many signings in transfer window , but it wouldnt surprise me if we signed moutinho straight away as avb loves him and that would pave the way for scott parker to move to qpr as a result

Hopefully !

People have short memories on this site parker was one of the reasons we had a good season last year. Perhaps its because he has been out for so long that people have forgot how good he was for us, im not saying he should replace sandro who has been immense. What happens if he gets injured who would replace him, livermore would come in now is he better than parker, i think not we cant keep selling good players unless we get in better ones .

p.s moutinho would be class for us he is the miising piece in the puzzle us should have been done in the summer plus a striker to go with ade and defoe.

Agree5 Disagree0

You are right, people do have short memories. Earlier this season, fans on this site were rubbishing Dawson. I wonder if they were the same fans that voted him our player of the season in May 2010.

Moutinho I am less sure about. I don't get to see much foreign football, so I have no idea how good he really is. He is just a name and a price tag to me.

He is highly experienced (although still only 26) and AVB obviously rates him, but I am slightly worried that he has spent so long in Portuguese football and never seems to be linked with any other big clubs. He doesn't seem to score many goals, either.

I have to rely on the superior knowledge of other fans on this site, but I do ask if he is really anything like a £24m player?

At that price we can't afford to make a mistake.

No need to worry about Moutinho, he is top quality. Deep lying playmaker with vision and the ability to pick out a perfectly weighted pass. Similar to Modric - maybe not quite as good but more rounded in other aspects of the game than Modric was. He has been linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid in the past but I don't think he'd quite make the first team at either club.

I think he would be a bit of a luxury buy though to be honest, when CM is arguably the strongest area of our squad at the moment. If we got him I would be tempted to switch back to using a lone striker and push Dembele further forward with Moutinho and Sandro just behind. Dempsey and Sigurdsson can then be used mainly in rotation / as back up for the wings, where I feel they have given their best performances so far.

Parker was made to look very good when playing in the same team as Modric and VDV . Yes he is commited , and hard working , but he is 32 , cant pass or shoot ! Is he better than Livermore , maybe ? Send both to Arry , then buy a decent young french DM .
As for the Dawson arguement , like Parker , commited to the cause but not good enough to displace Vert , Caulker or Kaboul . Too slow , makes to many mistakes . Sell them both while we can decent money for them !
Davo

Agree2 Disagree1

Adam - I agree with your points but I think it is vital to get a good additional creative CM even though it is one of our strongest areas. Dembele and Sandro are an excellent central combination, but when we lost Dembele to injury and had to replace him with Hudds/Livermore we did not look good and the poor performances were matched with poor results. We have nobody else in the team that can play the orchestrating / space creating role in the middle alongside Sandro the destroyer (which is why I think Carrol got a run there on Thursday).

Moutinho could play there and like you say push Dembele forward to CAM and if one gets injured you then have adequate cover as Dembele can drop back if needed.

We r in the next round. All our strikers scored (Dempsey made it at a vital time) and we have won again... Look we r not going to get glory football every game....I'm just happy we have won again... Our big test is really Everton away without bale...... I'm sure Avb has had enough time to look at the squad and can see where we need help.... So FFs relax.... I for one are critical of Avb and the team even levy BUT not when we win that's just stupid

Great to see AVB not let Dempsey just walk to his seat when he's been subbed, but he takes him to one side and tells him what else he could have done and how.

Would love to have seen 'Arry have done that. Other than 'run around a bit' COYS.

Any one goin to Goodison on Sunday?

Another goal let in tonight and against a hopeless team. We have to improve at the back or we will win nothing. It is very frustrating, our inability to keep clean sheets even against very poor teams.

Agree0 Disagree5

I do agree but even poor teams (and players)can score,namely loserpool and Henderson. Must admit though i was worried when with 3 minues to go and leading 3-1 he brings on livermore.

Agree0 Disagree2

Naughton was the reason again I think, but let's not be too harsh he's only young and he's playing on the wrong side of the pitch to fill in for BAE. Other than that it was a good solid win, COYS!

Agree2 Disagree1

3rd best away record in the league behind the 2 Manchester clubs.
Try again perky.

Pinky, Chelsea have always had world class managers before like Bobby Gould, John Neal, John Hollins to name a few. World class managers managing world class players like Kerry Dixon, Ken Mokou, David Speedie eg. There is no way Chelsea has brought any sucess and why would they when they had all that midtable sucess! Chelsea were always winning werent they?!

Believable6 Unbelievable0

90% of Chelsea fans haven't got a clue about any of those names.
Glory hunters. Not only does roman buy trophies, he has bought fans.

Ed, I was wondering what does our "strategic partnership" with Madrid entail, do they get first option on our best players or is that just a myth? {Ed002's Note - Just a myth. It will amount to nothing serious, perhaps the physios will share their personal "grips" with each other.}

Demba Ba has a buyout clause that can only be activated by a team in the Champions League, i think.
