    Tottenham Hotspur v Wigan Athletic Match History 2005-2013 & OMT

    Hudd is the only one really impressing. Our biggest problem has been our own players tripping over themselves in the box instead of shooting.

    Danny Rose

    But my point is that it's dangerous to judge Danny Rose's ability to be ready to play for next season based on his season at Sunderland. I'm not saying that any of the players I mentioned aren't good per se. But that what they did the previous season season at another club, was at a higher level...

    Danny Rose

    I like Rose from what I've seen this season. However, Caulker was top meant to be brilliant for Swansea and though he's been okay for us, I think most are disappointed at the levels he's shown for us. I'm not saying Caulker wont develop or has been bad, but if most are honest, I think after the...

    Gallas apparently did come cheap. He wanted to stay in London. But the others players don't seem to have increased the wage bill. They just seem to be replacements for players who left. Saha came from Everton, so there is no way he was on more than Pav, and the balance sheet suggests this. The...

    But the jump in wages came at a time when we signed 4 players. Yet half this board refuse to give Redknapp any credit for Sandro or VDV. How many time do people claim Levy signed VDV? Yet he can be the only one of those 4 players on really big wages. And Pienaar was only here for half of the...

    I don't think that's true though. If you look at wage increases prior to CL qualification they were in line with previous increases. There is no evidence to suggest we changed our minds about strategy. The wage increases really only shot up once we were in the CL and then we only signed 4...

    But you did say "even if it's not entirely down to Redknapp" and I just wanted to point out it's not at all. He shouldn't be mentioned unless it's to praise him for taking us the level where players demand more money. You don't sign the likes of VDV unless you are a top club. Players want their...

    The only way in which Redknapp is to blame is because of the success he brought. You keep trying to blame him, but I don't see why. You can see the wages jumped £30 million in a single year. So look at the transfer activity for that year and see if you then think it's Redknapps fault. Of course...

    But AVBs entire reputation, the very reason he is managing at this level has absolutely nothing to do with building teams. He came in a made an impact at both the clubs he was at in Portugal. He was very much the head coach there, as he is here. We haven't recruited him to build, but to coach...

    He absolutely should be judged. But not against Redknapp. The trouble is, that Redknapp got so much criticism, it's hard not to. If he isn't judged against Redknapp then AVB is doing a very decent job.

    Look at what happened to them the season before he arrived. They had an extended Lasagne gate, in that they had a virus and totally collapsed and didn't win the 3 points they needed from 4 points to finish 3rd. After that look at the quality of players Monchi brought in. They were a hairs...

    He's not the manager, he's the head coach. Seems like a petty distinction, but I've noticed our fans talk of AVB like he is the manager. He really is just there to coach the team. If he has a suggestion for a player he want, it will be listed to. But as we saw in the summer, he's not seen as a...

    Exactly the reason many managers get way over rated. Cup football is a terrible way to judge a manager or team. We ended up with Ramos as he was judged on cup football. Our chairman, with a 1st class degree from Cambridge, didn't even seem to check who they drew each round of the...

    Song had more assists the VDV last season and Arsenal lost him. But anyway it's not just Arsenal we need to measure ourselves against. We finished 5 points ahead of Chelsea, 13 ahead of Everton and 17 ahead of Liverpool. At the moment it seems like there is going to be some pretty big points...

    By choice though. Huddlestone hasn't been picked. We were in the top 4 before Bale came into the side in 2009/10. That's with a CM of Hudd and Palacios. We had Crouch as a striker. It's our choice to play Sandro/Parker and Dembele. We have other options, that have proved successful in the past...

    what has happened to the transfer section?

    I think he was a match analyst, which is different to a scout. I think he was there to analyse opposition, rather than talent spot players. I could be wrong but I've never seen anything to suggest he was a talent spotter or there to scout players for the manager. I don't remember ever reading...

    Look who we signed during the period between in which the wages jumped £30 million. If you think Sandro, VDV, Pienaar and Gallas added £30 million to the wage bill you are insane. People will desperately try and inflate their wages in order to blame Harry, but even then they'd still only be able...

    How do you know their wages? The real reason for the increase is down to the fact the players and club progressed. When Modric signed his new deal, do you think he asked for an extra few grand a week? Of course he didn't, he'd have had a massive increase. The same would have been true for the...

    TOTTENHAM vs. ASTON VILLA - OMT

    Because we were battering them even with 10 men! We were already pushing up, but VDV was tiring, so we gave Modric a go in his role. The actual system was working fine, we just needed that moment of inspiration to open them up. Unfortunately it didn't come, but you can't judge a game just by the...

    TOTTENHAM vs. ASTON VILLA - OMT

    That sub was made in the 89th minute. We hardly drew due to that! Also, it was Parker for VDV. But are there still fans out there who didn't understand the tactical thinking behind that substitution? It was done to push MOdric forward into VDV's role. We were dominating the possession, but...
