    Harry Kane MBE

    He said in commentary: "Brad Friedel said Brad Freidel is the best finisher in both passive and opposed practices." He meant Kane obviously. Also said he's the best hitter of a cross shot in British football. And, to add another name to the list, said he reminded him of Clive Allen, in terms...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley *** FA Cup OMT ***

    But there's every reason to bring in players who haven't been getting much game time recently.

    Praise for the Academy

    Modric falls in the Chadli/Eriksen category - we got a player that a richer club would later be prepared to pay £40 million for - for less than half that, and on relatively low wages, because there were enough doubts him - his stature mainly - to deter the richer clubs. And he was an established...

    Praise for the Academy

    It's the salaries we can't compete on, and won't be able to until we move to the new stadium and it's paid for - in the same way Arsenal have been able to bring in players like Sanchez and Ozil and pay them £150k a week in the last couple of seasons. We can't afford to take risks on 20-30...

    Praise for the Academy

    One of the reasons I was very pro the appointment of Poch was because it's pretty clear the only way we can truly compete is by developing our own players or spotting up and coming ones we can bring in for a decent fee. The spunking away of the Bale Millions has proven this - any time we spend...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Ok, that is your opinion and I respect that, though I would say that Lamela had 5 seconds in which to make that pass whereas Kane had less than 1, that Lamela had a target area of around 5 square meters in which to aim, whereas Kane had less than 1, and Lamela was in a less pressurized game...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    As I've said before, I really don't rate him and think we should cut our losses on him, this window preferably, and I've always tried to make rational arguments why that's the case, referring to the comments of Tim Vickery regarding his physical weakness to back up something I said ages ago...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    No, I disagree, he can play the type of ball a competent footballer can play - case in point - pass to Chadli that led to goal against Leicester - everything was there in front of him and he had half the pitch to aim for. Kane to Mason against Man Utd? No chance. Eriksen to Chadli leading...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    But he simply doesn't have the same level of football intelligence as those players, Eriksen for example is forever turning up in the right place at the right time, finding space to exploit and do good work in.

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Check out some of Kane and Chadli's highlights against Chelsea. They downright bullied them with their body strength - there's a great moment when Kane is taking it down the wing and literally shoves Cahill away by leaning into him. Lamela gets this done to him repeatedly. He often gets tackled...

    Praise for the Academy

    The guy's blagged a career as a football manager - if he hadn't lived in the same apartment block as Bobby Robson he'd be earning 30K selling insurance or something. He had absolutely no idea what did and didn't make a good footballer. His time at the club was a wasted 18 months of which only...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    But we clearly didn't. It's apparent we went solely on the say so of Baldini, who'd spent the bulk of his career in Italian football.

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    There were no doubt a fair few clubs Lamela would have chosen ahead of Spurs had they offered the same money, but I'd suggest those clubs did their homework and took a thorough look at his attributes and decided against it.

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    I'd snap their hand off if they offered 15 mil, more likely in the Summer - heard a good interview with Tim Vickery the other night, South American football expert and Spurs fan, "too weak for English football", "the occasional moment of skill" and a "nearly player".

    The Annual Tottenham Hotspur Striker Search: January 2015 Edition

    We gave a 28 year old - who earned 30k a week - a four year 60k a week contract - he won't get even half of that anywhere else, even if they were prepared to pay a few million for him. The guy's got a young family to think of - so of course he's gonna run his contract down then do the MLS thing...

    The Annual Tottenham Hotspur Striker Search: January 2015 Edition

    No, really, that wouldn't be a good idea at all and I don't think Poch would give that any serious consideration to it. Soldado is surplus to requirements but we'll be stuck with him for the duration of his contract unfortunately, and just have to loan him out as much as possible until then...

    Aaron Lennon

    Lennon was a 20 million pound+ player in his prime and would have made a good addition to the squads of Man Utd or Liverpool a few years ago - but there are other aspects to him that would have deterred any bids or received a negative response to any approach made to him. He seems a very private...

    Danny Rose

    Agree, the amount of abuse Rose and Townsend were getting on the match thread was outrageous. Everything they do wrong gets highlighted and everything positive overlooked. Better not say any more as trying to stick up for Andros earned me a one day ban.

    Riyad Mahrez

    Like the look of him, quick, can use both feet, could do a better job on the right than either Townsend or Lamela, might be worth a 7 Million bid plus Townsend on loan for the rest of the season.
