    Suiyha, it's a highlights reel, and from the 40 odd games he played that season it produced 9 mins of nice touches and 1 minute of productive outputs. But most importantly it doesn't show the thousands of minutes where he was a peripheral figure. Again don't take this as slagging off Modric...

    Nabil Bentaleb

    It's always funny how the passage of time warps people's memories. Modric might have evolved into one of the best deep lying playmakers in football during his time at Spurs - but his first 18 months were at best mediocre, and mostly frustrating, when he flitted between the roles of winger...

    Ryan Mason

    Yeah you would think that. But then you remember that when Scholes picked his best XI from his time at United he put Wes Brown in it. And then you remember that the overwhelming majority of footballers are in fact idiots; natural born players that have little or no idea of why they are able to...

    Ryan Mason

    While it's maybe a bit odd that it's taken a lad 23 years to have a breakthrough season, it's a lot less odd for a midfielder to reach that age before stamping their authority... or even settling into a clear position or defined style. Look at some of the midfielders that have dominated...

    I'm not on this forum long enough to know who are the WUMs and who are the space cadets. But as you're advocating playing not just Paulinho (probably the most disappointing player ever to play for Spurs) or Soldado (potentially the biggest flop in the club's history), but both of them - in one...

    Which is our worst FA Cup defeat under Levy ?

    Here's hoping you're balanced enough to open a "worst FA Cup defeat under Bill Nicholson" thread as well.

    Ryan Mason

    Imagine web forums had have been around in the early nineties, and you were a follower of a team in red. The forum would have been something like: - Just how many years do we need to give Ferguson? Send him back to Scotland. That's his level. - Look I know Cantona does some magnificent...

    Agreed with this totally. I'd add to it too. Where do the delusions of grandeur come from with Spurs fans? How did expectations become so high? Read the other threads on this site and it would appear that not one player apart from Lloris is good enough for Spurs. This is Spurs who haven't...

    Tottenham Hotspur v Sheffield Utd League cup semi Final first leg

    Never ever will I understand a fixation with historic results. It's like comparing apples to concrete pillars. Sheffield United are a League 1 side who were last in the Premiership in 2006/07. The only Spurs players still around from that season are Aaron Lennon who has little to no chance of...

    Paulinho

    No I don't think so. He has neither the physical nor mental aptitude to be a serious player. My prediction is he'll hit a few goals wherever he goes, and there'll be a few murmurs of what could have been, but before long his lack of presence will see him dropped, and he will descend into...

    Adebayor, Kaboul, Capoue...

    For my money, Capoue would be biggest fraud I have ever seen in a Spurs shirt, if it wasn't for the fact that Paulinho has been here throughout his time too. He has no redeeming qualities. None. I'd happily release him now on a free.

    What are they worth?

    This has always been the case though. There is no other reason to explain why Brendan Rogers spent £15m on Ballotelli - who would never fit into his system, or why David Moyes spent £25m on a battering ram in Fellaini for a team built to pass and move, or indeed almost any of Redknapp's...

    What are they worth?

    Morning all. Some bizarre numbers are being thrown around on here. I like Mason, but unless he adds goals and assists to his game, then his only trajectory from Spurs is downwards, and I don't honestly think Spurs would get more than £3-4m at present. As for Townsend, I'm guessing...
