See ya.
Mido, Bunje and Naybet are all leaving the club over the summer as and when their contracts finally expire. Naybet joined two years ago and played a good few games for us scoring against the scum in the process. I will always rememebr his debut in the 1-1 draw against Liverpool. He had a great game and it was the first time since Mabbutt played that I saw someone actually marshall a defence. Bunje was the Serbian Trevor Brooking when he arrived but never quite lived up to all the hype. A solid servent of the club he was never really good enough. Lastly Mido will not be bought by the club. Although he did his job well he did make our play often one dimensional - i.e. hoof it up from the back and hope for a flick on. This season he looked fit and sharp but then went to the African Nations cup and was never quite the same since. Everyone from The Shelf would like to wisht hem well for the future and I bet I'm not the only one who is a bit annoyed by the official site who managed to write less than a quarter that I have on three first team players leaving.
In other news Carlton Cole's signing is going to be announced tonight or tomorrow. This is from a reliable source on FTL.
COYS!

I think you will find it was Milenko Acimovic that was dubbed the Serbian Trevor Brooking actually.

Yes you're right about the official site mate, these players deserve more written about them. Good luck to them all. The Carlton Cole saga...well tomorrow was last week I thought but we'll wait and see.
10:46 PM, May 26, 2006
Three good club players leaving,and one good squad player coming in, i wish them all the best. ps i am a die hard yid for life in the USA.
10:46 PM, May 26, 2006
Bunjy was the Balkan Beckenbauer wasn't he? Not the Serbian Trevor Brooking! Agree that Naybet was quality and very much needed when he arrived, Bunjy never cut it but was apparently good with the kids behind the scenes (slightly idealistic, I know) as for Mido... I hoped we kept him, he is good. He cannot be blamed for our 1 dimensional play, they're playing to Mr Jol's instructions. But clearly they had fallen out. Besides, Berbatov's gonna be better!! Nice one for bigging up some good servants for the club.

rather have Mido than Cole anytime..useless,lazy,no good for nothing,injury prone young so called potential..very very disappointed with Jol..just when we have to make that big jump into top tier of the PL we are signing Cole..martin joke.
10:53 PM, May 26, 2006
No wonder spurs have such great support, with fans like you around. The fact they got a 1/3 of your script on the official website says it all. How was bunjy a solid servant. He was paid 1st team wages when as you state he didnt live up to the hype, and more to the point wasnt good enough to play in the 1st team.
10:54 PM, May 26, 2006
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but to start insulting Martin Jol because of a rumour that may not even come true is a bit stupid. Even if he does sign then I have faith in MJ to make him come good...sod it, he would only be 4th choice anyway.

I can understand people being dis-appointed in Mido's departure but personally i am not really sad to see him go.
.....but to call Martin Jol a 'joke' is ridiculous......you Twat!
11:01 PM, May 26, 2006
"useless, lazy, no good for nothing, injury prone young so called potential.. "
Is that a description of Mido.
I think so too.
11:03 PM, May 26, 2006
exactly..my opinion is martin joke..Cole is a joke signing he will be the worst youngster we will possibly sign..you think defoe is moody wait til you see cole..waste of £2 million and next january we will be chasing another striker.
11:03 PM, May 26, 2006
Some people are moaning tossers.
11:05 PM, May 26, 2006
Well your opinion is like your posts........SHIT
11:05 PM, May 26, 2006
11:03
Give me ONE example of Defoe being moody?
Please.....
11:08 PM, May 26, 2006
I'd take one dimensional play if it meant someone scoring 14 goals in 28 starts (like Mido did)
11:09 PM, May 26, 2006
You can't slag off Jol like that.
11:10 PM, May 26, 2006
Got to be a gooner in disguise.
11:11 PM, May 26, 2006
Carlton Cole..joke of a player..we might as well sign franny jeffers at least he scores 2 goals season..Big managers think big and sign big..Kuyt,Van Nistelrooy and alike is what we need not Cole..
11:11 PM, May 26, 2006
Mido was fat & lazy, only knuckled down for half a season (cos he was playing for a contract)
Imagine what he would have been like if he had the relaxation of a 4 yr contract.
Trouble maker, you only have to look at his tantrums at the ANC.
Key factor was though (i'm sure) was the asking price Roma were requesting (after allegedly agreeing a fee when he initially came)
And probably his moron agent mouthing off about Spurs weren't 'favourites' and all that to try and bump up his wages (& agents cut!)
Bring on Kuyt!!
11:15 PM, May 26, 2006
a gooner in disguise? a season ticket holder of 20 years at the lane more like it..i have seen so many daft signings over the years and Cole is definitely another one..never confident about the kid and not one good report from either chelsea,wolves,villa or charlton...4 teams and not one decent game..says it all.
11:16 PM, May 26, 2006
Can someone tell this (aaargh let me stay polite) that we have just signed Berbatov to go alongside Defoe and Keane. We are not at a stage where we can have 4 top strikers all happily competing for places. If we were in the Champions League then fine but it's easy to say "Yeah yeah we should be signing RVN, Kuyt etc." but not easy to actually do it. Face facts, RVN would not sign for us when he can get CL football. We will not be signing Kuyt because we have Berbatov.
11:18 PM, May 26, 2006
unless you have a regular 20+ a season goal scorer you wont make the CL next season either.Only top notch players will get you there,berbatov wont start scoring from the game one and will need at least 3 months to adjust the pace and style of the PL..cole is not good enough,a perfect championship player and nothing more.
11:20 PM, May 26, 2006
Are you all insane? Has the last 10 years taught you nothing! How the hell on earth can we consider buying Carlton Cole. Finally I thought we had sorted out our historic problem of buying average shit. We need to push on. Why do they think Cole is the answer. Look at his performances on loan. Average, Average and Average. If the boy can't beat players and score goals for fun now, having Martin Jol on the touchline is not suddenly going to make him be able to dribble a football etc ... He just doesn't have it. Why won't we ever learn!
11:26 PM, May 26, 2006
11:16
Well i suppose YOU should buy the players, pick the formation, choose the starting line-up and maybe even play yourself then seeing as you are such an expert.
'20 years' watching the Spurs and you slag off Jol
....TWAT...
He's been the best thing to happen since Billy Nick & i have total faith in him retuning us to the glory days.
But i suppose you would rather see us with a manager like Ossie Ardiles, George Graham, Jack Santini or Christian Gross?
11:27 PM, May 26, 2006
i slagg off Martin jol as i like..it was all his fault in most of the games to let last minute goals in wasnt it? it took him 5 last minute goals and 7 points loss to realise that he sometimes has to sacrifice a stariker and inforce the midfield to hold onto the lead..he didnt do that til the blackburn and Bolton games..if only he thought of that against west ham,sunderland,fulham..
11:28 PM, May 26, 2006
We haven't even signed Carlton Cole so why the fuss?
Or am i missing something?
11:28 PM, May 26, 2006
Will you still have the same confidence when is posing in front of the cameras in a white Puma shirt? He is just an average player and not even a patch on Mido..charlton,villa did not even go back in to re-sign him..and for a crapp like villa to not to pursue any interest is a statement on its own.
11:32 PM, May 26, 2006
Some people are never happy?
We have had the best season in about 20 years, qualify for Europe for only the second time since the start of the premiership narrowly missing out on CL football, have a great squad of players including many young english talent, with whom are involved in the england squad and we are also financially sound?!!
The future is very bright indeed.
Why the fuck are you moaning?
11:34 PM, May 26, 2006
why spend alot of money on another striker when we have 3 quality strikers allready even if cole fails it 2 mill hopefully he can impress like he has done in the u21`s
11:35 PM, May 26, 2006
Someone seems to have an OBSESSION with C.Cole !!
Very sad.
11:35 PM, May 26, 2006
moaning about an average potential and likely signing in cole..spurs have great kids yes,future is bright but a rubbish like Cole can cause a set back and we can suffer the consequences.
think big,play big get to CL.
11:38 PM, May 26, 2006
We're moaning for exactly that reason. Why waste a great season with a purchase like Carlton Cole. It smacks of not wanting to push on. Why are all you people so blind. Some players just aren't that extra special. Cole is not a special player. Why even have him as a squad member. We must be able to attract higher quality than scummy british wide boy crap like Cole. It is so annoying when Spurs do this. I really thought things were different now. Arrgh, so frustrating.
11:38 PM, May 26, 2006
Yep, lets just go and sign Shevchenko & Ronaldinho then, eh?
11:40 PM, May 26, 2006
It is like a rabbit stuck in head lights. You know we shouldn't buy him, yet we get all emotional and are like Martin knows what he is doing. Or expressions like "I trust the Big Man". F*** off with all that crap. Carlton Cole is not good enough. We shouldn't be looking to buy him. That is the Aston Villa disease, i.e. buy every average player in the country and hope for the best.
11:41 PM, May 26, 2006
all very well saying cole is shit and sign someone of better calibre but i dont hear you naming any players that we should target or are you playing too much champ manager on the pc
11:43 PM, May 26, 2006
We are not saying buy the top players in the world. But take a step back and admit, Carlton Cole is average. O.k. lets put the cheque book away for 5 mintues and see what else is out there. We don't need to panic buy. Surely we can do better than Carlton ****ing Cole.
11:44 PM, May 26, 2006
who would you suggest we buy then?
11:45 PM, May 26, 2006
To win big you have to think big. It is a mental thing. If Spurs fans are happy to accept a Carlton Cole type of player, than more fool us. Why is it so obvious to some of us that he isn't up to scratch. We should be marching on White Hart Lane protesting in anger at this possible signing. It is an absolute disgrace and a slap in the face to all the hard work the players put in last season.
11:46 PM, May 26, 2006
It is like saying to the players "well done for surviving a 9 month hunger strike ... here is your reward, three peas and a slice of bread".
11:47 PM, May 26, 2006
blah blah blah
All your argument is Cole is shit and we can do better, hardly constructive is it?
11:48 PM, May 26, 2006
Have Gooners taken over this site?
11:49 PM, May 26, 2006
We are so close to the CL, why not go the extra yard and give ourselves the best shot of actually doing it this year. Actually no, lets buy Carlton Cole and signal our lack of further ambition and tread water next season. Yes, the spurs fans would rather we tread water.
11:50 PM, May 26, 2006
still havent heard any recommendations for potential signings
do you actually have any or are you just stupid
11:51 PM, May 26, 2006
You guys still don't get it. It is not a personal attack on Cole. It is being outraged that we still fall into this trap of buying average players when we should be pushing on. We shouldn't accept a player like Cole. Why spend 2 years building a fantastic house, only to fill it with IKEA furniture!
11:52 PM, May 26, 2006
I think Cole would only be there to make up the striker numbers. In my eyes he's better than Rasiak. I have a hunch he may impress the few games he will play - if not, what the hell is 2 mil in todays football? Having 3 top strikers and a not so top striker aint to bad. It's the full backs i'm more concerned with, along with a left winger and a creative touch in the centre. Roll on next season when we can show Rosicky that he should have joined us instead of the worthless scum.
11:54 PM, May 26, 2006
CARLTON COLE CAN GO FUCK HIMSELF DONT WANNA SEE HIM AT THE LANE
11:54 PM, May 26, 2006
pushing on? yes i agree
Ok, WHO do you want us to sign then?
Or do you have difficulties in answering a very simple question
11:55 PM, May 26, 2006
What about Hierro Escala the Brazilian at Marbella. 18 years old and has been kept under wraps for the past 12 months in their reserves. I watch him play at reserve games. He is unbelievable.
11:58 PM, May 26, 2006
I agree that the fullbacks & left winger are more of a concern than us signing carlton cole
anyone know anything on the Ryan Babel rumours and if he's any good
11:58 PM, May 26, 2006
stuff cole, whats the point in buying him just to sit on the bench, i would rather see one of our recent youngesters get that spot instead.
12:00 AM, May 27, 2006

youre a knob why dont you fuck off to bed
12:00 AM, May 27, 2006
im confident jol can work his magic on cole, as shown on carrick,lennon and dawson.
A fan slaging off jol is damn right stupid, go surport sunderland or something.
12:02 AM, May 27, 2006
QUOTE :-unless you have a regular 20+ a season goal scorer you wont make the CL next season either.Only top notch players will get you there,berbatov wont start scoring from the game one and will need at least 3 months to adjust the pace and style of the PL..cole is not good enough,a perfect championship player and nothing more./
ok i'm a liverpool fan and you don't need a 20 goal forward to qualify for the CL. you need a good team, you have signed a quality stricker in beratov and you guys have robbie keane who i love to see playin for the pool' so stop complainin, ok if you guys buy C Cole, it won't be the end of the world he better than Rasiek (can't spell his name doude you signed from Derby), Jol has done a good job, i bit pissed off that arsenal got ahead of you guys but that football, look forward to next season you do very well as everyone will be up to beat arsenal and utd and chelsea next season, and of coarse the pool so you guys could end you in the 4. or better (maybe too early) cALM DOWN, TO THE GUY WHO BEEN THERE FOR TWENTY YEARS SHUT UP AND STOP TALIN TRIPE
12:04 AM, May 27, 2006
We don't need Cole, give Barnard a chance, young, british, banging them in for the reserves and was one of the better players when he came on against Bolton. The £2m that we save from Cole can go towards a full back / left winger
12:15 AM, May 27, 2006
im more corncerned about us splashin aload of money on chimbonda
12:28 AM, May 27, 2006
I FOR 1 AM GLAD THAT WE ARE BYING SOME NEW STRIKERS AS AFTER WATCHING THAT POOR EXCUSE DEFOE LAST SEASON WE NEEDED THEM, BYE MIDO YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN A GREAT PREM STRICKER DUE TO YOUR ATTITUDE.THE MONEY WE GET FOR THAT WANK DEFOE SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO BUY A QUALITY THIRD STRIKER WITH COLE AS 4TH CHOICE WHEN INJURIES GET BAD OR CUP GAMES NEED HIM.
12:36 AM, May 27, 2006
why would carlton cole want to come to us?? his best mate is leaving and he knows he's not going to get in front of the replacement MJ brings in...surely he wants 1st team by now
1:34 AM, May 27, 2006
admit i didn't read ALL the previous posts, but as i have said before and will say again - viva jol. slagging him off is silly - look at where we were, look at where we are, look who has made it happen. a great manager, a likeable manager, an honest manager. the arse even hate him. Perfecto!
2:21 AM, May 27, 2006
I would rather have Cole anyday, i've seen him a lot for the England under twenty-ones and he gives it his all, always fighting to stay in the team.
I found Mido to be lazy, came back from the African Nations looking like a pub darts player. Don't think jol found him to be professional (look what he did against his manager playing for Egypt), fair enough he was OK, but 5m for him? Don't think so!!!
I think a few will be presently suprised by Cole, have spoken to Villa fans, they liked him, Chelsea just wouldn't sell him to them at the time!
2:44 AM, May 27, 2006
Martin Jol knows what he is doing ??
OK here i give you 2 names he signed and you tell me the answer..
Stalteri,Rasiak to start with..one gave away too many last minute goals and even unable to kick the ball out when matters the other couldnt even score in a whore house..If we had a better fb than stalteri and a better striker than rasiak we would have been in the CL draw by now..thats how a couple of dross signings by jol matters.
2:52 AM, May 27, 2006
so jol doesnt know what hes doing? i say lennon and dawson so fuck you knob head
4:53 AM, May 27, 2006
I think we should look at it this way - Mido is supposedly going to cost Spurs 5m pounds (or more), and from a financial point of view he's not going to be good value if he's just a cover for Berbatov. So getting Cole would be a cheaper alternative (much as we did with Rasiak), although it remains to be seen whether he can live up to the 'great potential' hype. Mido has done a good job, but he has not proved himself when it comes to shooting, so hopefully Cole (if he comes) can fill up that gap. As for Bunje, I never thought he was top draw anyway, so it's good that he's off; Naybet has been great, but age is a factor. I do hope we sell Defoe and get Kuyt and Denilson. Then our attack will be brilliant. We don't need any central defenders - Davenport can provide excellent cover.
5:25 AM, May 27, 2006
Neither lennon nor dawson are jol signings and as a matter of fact Reid and Routledge are..Dawson and Lennon were at the time actually signed by Arnesens recommendation.Jol was insistant on Routledge and Reid and got them both..Jol is a poor judge of players thats why we keep a director of football in this club..Jol didnt even want Jenas and he was a levy signing.
6:25 AM, May 27, 2006
All we need is 3/4 players..Chimbonda is a must,athletic,good on the ball and good in the air,doesnt get injured and pcey worth the £5 mil. add denilson on the left wing,tricky very very quick a little too selfish at times but needs a good,fresh challenge at a big league and spurs will be a great set up for him to relaunch his career and become a great again,Ruud van Nistelrooy a proven 25+ a season goal scorer thrives on crosses,drops deep and never stops working alongside denilson and lennon he will be lethal,a replacement for Ant Gardner is also a MUST...we need a quality back up for King and Dawson...Chimbonda,RVN,Denilson and a decent centre half should see us progressing into top 4 next season and leaving arsescum behind.
6:32 AM, May 27, 2006
unbelievable
can't believe we are not chasing a better manager,Jol is ok but to show our ambition we should try to get Mourinho, and mabye sign the Brazilian national team first 11 to warm our bench,,then the premiership would quake in its boots, and while we are at it we should move to old trafford as our stadium "shows no ambition"...sigh..i have been a season ticket holder for 86 years and have never missed a game,,not even a freindly, home or away so my opinion has to be the right one........
6:47 AM, May 27, 2006
I think we need to buy a player like Lua-lua! he's better player than Defoe! Defoe barely scored goals from his head ! I say, sell Defoe! get Lua-Lua & Gareth Barry both are spurs fan! and I believe we're on our way to CL next season!
6:58 AM, May 27, 2006
we should sign knwokinho canronadolo shevpelenko he's a shit hot 3 year old who just turned pro in the Afghanistan league, we cold probablly get him for 25,billion dina's and would set the world alight!
7:07 AM, May 27, 2006
I think Charlton Cole is a useful addition if not a exciting one. Barnard, for all his promise is a rookie in the league and you can't argue Cole has played with some of the best players in the world and had scored goals at this level.
I think that settled our strikers quartet; the shop is closed for next season though I love to see Bellamy signed.I can't see that happening now unless Defoe leaves.I think Bellamy has the right mentality while Defoe tends to drift away when going gets tough.
But I have a feeling some of our biggest signings would be AFTER the WC.Management would reserve the biggest funds to the left sided midfielder we all crave;assuming Lennon would not be asked to play there.
8:51 AM, May 27, 2006
I would agree with the poster that alluded to too many people living in fantasy world with computer football games and the distinct lack of looking at the WHOLE picture.
First of all we need 4 strikers for next season, and for each season after that, and even if we were in the CL we would never be able to keep the likes of RVN, Kuyt or Torres happy as a squad player.
We have 3 world class strikers in Keane, Defoe and Berbatov - all proven goalscorers and all Internationals. It would have been nice to have kept a fit and focussed Mido but that all fell apart when he, and his agent, showed their true colurs and tried to stitch the Club up with their demands - it was not Roma that spoilt the deal as there was a signed agreement for 5 million Euros in place. His injury problems and his attitude also came to light. The bottom line is that Mido is gone so we move on - thank you very much for your efforts and goodbye.
We need somebody like Charlton Cole to cover for Berbatov for next season but you all seem to forget that we have Peckhart and Dixon chomping at the bit. Peckhart is 6 foot 2, strong, fast, scores for fun and described as the new Rooney - he joins us in July and he will be groomed to be the 4th striker as will Dixon. Dixon also has rave reviews but Peckhart looks the real deal big time. If these guys live up to their potential then they will be blooded into the team at the end of next season and if you think Lennon was a find then watch Peckhart go - he could be our best ever find. I know less about Dixon but again he has great reviews. Martin Jol is a great believer in youth and if you are good enough then you are old enough.
Barnard is not up to the standard as yet and although I like the guy he might not ever be good enough for a top 4 team and as we are in the position of moving up to the next level we do not have the luxury of time.
Cole is a stop-gap squad player for next season and if he only costs £2 million I am sure we can recoup that when he is surplus to requirements - who else can fit the bill for one season? Dont forget we got our money back on Rasiak who looked good when at Derby - he was crap for us but again he has done well for the Saints and he is an International - shit happens but we quickly realised it and got our money back.
There is AMPLE money available and the will and desire to get to the top is there for all to see, especially with Daniel Levy, so let's stop the crap about our wanting to be just an average Club - that is pure nonsense. Try reading the official statements from the Club and try reading the Annual Reports.
9:33 AM, May 27, 2006
I.ve been a Spurs fan since 1960 - seen the good and the "bad" we've had. Spent enough money to build several houses to watch the Lillywhites two points if I may - 1. MJ is the best manager since KB - stop the moaning, we've just had the most exciting ride for 20 odd years - support the team' the manager and the backroom staff and lets look forward to European
football at the Lane for the first time in years.
2. Even great managers sometimes get it wrong, they dont live up to the "billing" - my view as 4th Striker Cole will be a good buy - my son -in law is a Villa fan and would take your arm off to have him - we need any year or even two to reach CL standard - then we can expect to sign the top, top players we all dream of.
9:59 AM, May 27, 2006
All you so called fans that slag off MJ, for wanting to Carlton Cole, need your wannabe championship manager heads tested....yes MJ did bring some borderline talent stalteri, rasiak, but the latter was a panic if you remember on the deadline day, as mido was of to eygpt. I never really rated cole, but have never really seen him play, and Im happy to trust MJ and our excellent director of football, who has found so many talented players. SO LETS ALL GET BEHIND THE THFC STAFF AND GIVE OUR 100% SUPPORT, and remember this is real life not a pc game.
11:07 AM, May 27, 2006
when does carricks contract end...
dont want manure to be sniffing about.
hes gotta sign a new one, as he is the backbone of our midfield
11:23 AM, May 27, 2006
I have been a season ticket holder for 30 years so I have seen the poor and the bad.
Think Jol is ok but over rated.
Some lousy signings and a few good uns .
Lennon the best of the lot
Dawson good but not tested at the highest level.... Goes to sleep too often like the moment Belarus got the winner.
STALTERI and lee p are poor
mido was fat lazy and over rated>
davids too slow too old
Defoe totally destroyed by poor management.
Jenas only plays well against a few kinds of oppostion.
Carrick too eratic. Was piss poor against Belarus
Robinson good but prone to errors.
King good against 6 foot strikers but poor against tricky forwards... Sunderland WBA Arsenal at home ??
Lets get real.
We are miles behind the top 3 and Arsenal in a poor season for them with so many injuries will get better.
We need top players to break the monopoly.
No Kuyt is not good enough.#
Berbatov scored only against poor sides and I bet he wont get more than 10 next seasson.
Cole is poor ... saw him a few times last season and he is not the answer.
Chimbonda is good but will cost 5 mill.
Curtis is good but think arsenal is more for him cos he likes the champs league attraction.
So sorry to be a downer but i think without serious class we will struggle to be top 6 next year cos Uefa cup will stretch our squad.
11:27 AM, May 27, 2006
Well it is not a rocket science to see clearly that it was Mido and his agents greed ruined his deal at Spurs but he scored and tormented the opposition with his physical presence and he is bloody good in the air..Cole is admittedly a lot quicker than Mido but doesnt have the same influence of Mido..
I still am not convinced about Cole and unless he scores the same amount of goals that Mido did last season i still wont be happy.
On the other hand i believe we have a replacement for stalteri lined up in chimbonda which i am happy about also i still would like to see another quality centre half possibly Woodgate on a pay as you play deal that way at least he wont suffer injuries as he will be resting enough.denilson is always a good shout for the left wing.
11:48 AM, May 27, 2006
Now we have a gooner definitely in the crowd here..
Dawson not tested against top opposition? what other top opposition than the likes of Rooney,Henry,Drogba etc. would you like to test him? errm of course next season he will be tested by Shevchenko as well..do they get any better than that?
King never struggles against smaller tricky players his weakness is clear and obviously in the air which dawson covers up a lot..King is unbeatable on the deck so stop talking cack.
Jenas covers a lot of ground and never stops running,if you cant judge a midfielder with his work rate how else can you do that?/
carrick did not have more than 3 average games in the whole of the last season which puts him there with the best to be honest..no arguments there so belarus game is never a gauge..he is better than any arsenal midfielder wenger would bend over to white hart lane crowd to have him tomorrow..so get lost.
Berbatov will need time to settle in but he played in germany for 6 seasons so it wont take too long before he gets used to it..and he will bang them in against anyone ,i have no worries about him at all..better than that lanky thing wenger bought last january anytime.
we might be behind chelsea but bit of experience would have seen us chasing the second spot last season and arsenal should have been well behind us..so go and get stuffed when suggesting we are years behind arsenal..all the sky tv backing they have got and we have been treated unfairly and still managed the fifth..
STILL NOT HAPPY ABOUT COLE BUT LETS WAIT AND SEE I SUPPOSE.
NEXT SEASON WHEN ARSENAL STARTS THEIR SEASON AT THE BEGINING OF JULY FOR THE CL QUALIFIERS WITH ALL THEIR PLAYERS COMING BACK FROM WORLD CUP WITH HANGOVER AND START GETTING A FEW INJURIES,I AM SURE YOU WILL BE LEFT WITH EGG ON YOUR PIKEY FACES.

GOOD LUCK Mr Cole and a warm welcome to you and everyone else who wants to join the greatest club on earth!
12:49 PM, May 27, 2006
Anyone who slags off Naybet is a cunt he was just what we needed when he signed to bring King on, Jol is the best since KB agreed. Salteri gets stick but he,s helped us to the best position in the PL ever despite making mistakes would you rather have Kelly and not made UEFA? Dawson and Reid were both signed by Arnesen. Denilson and Downing would be shit buys my suggestions would be Bridge (move Lee to right back), Kuyt in for Defoe and buy a left sided midfield player struggling to think of one that would be available to be honest, why not give Zieglar a crack|?

as an aside from all the bad tasteless shit on here, ive been thinking......
call me old fashioned, but i would love to see a spurs starting 11 numbered 1 - 11 !!
at the moment we have no number 2, 4, 9 or 11.
if we sign a right back, chimbonda or whoever, give him the 2 shirt. kelly has 3, well ok.
lennon should have the 7 shirt, i guess berbatov will be 9. 11 - the new left midfield whoever that is ?
if davids goes, dawson and king can be 4 and 5.
championship manager stuff i know, but just a bit of light hearted fun !!
any thoughts? the current numbering system of the premier league reminds me of american football !!!
2:47 PM, May 27, 2006
Ur a fu*king cock whoever wrote the last post. Spurs are Poaching Kuntz who steal all the youth from real clubs like West ham, Leeds, and even Derby!

To 2.57. Most often the reason a team is disliked by so many teams is because they are good! Jelousy is the reason. I take the fact that lots of people don't like us as a compliment. Don't worry, I am sure we will be even more hated in the near future after we win the Uefa Cup and qualify for the Champions league through the league.

To the people slagging of Jol, He doesent buy the fucking players, Comolli find the talents, and Jol and Levy takes a discussion to make out whos the best in the skill/cash ratio.
A bit of insight from The Lane :)
4:53 PM, May 27, 2006
Jus wanna say one thing ppl, about da carlton cole saga...2 Million, is bad for young fella that can learn alot from experiance coach's and players, which will seem likly in a couple of seasons on forms...dont judge dis player yet, he was at chelsea remember, how the hell would he get his chance there.
To me I think its rather a wiser choice than Rasiak...get me.
Plus it falls under the policey of bring in young english talent.
Case closed peeps.
4:58 PM, May 27, 2006
Jol is a good manager, shame about the scum he manages!
UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!!!

WE LAUGHED OURSELVES TO BITS, WHEN TOTTENHAM HAD THE SHITS, LASAGNE OOH,OOH!
5:01 PM, May 27, 2006
I am dead against the signing of Cole. I am afraid that if he is signed it will be a similar mistake as the Rasiak-story.
Jol - Please don't sign Cole !
5:04 PM, May 27, 2006
anon 3.54, dont insult me mate i aint Canadian...lol. Just live here in Montreal, nice birds over here...but shhh!...me Canadian missus is nearby. Moved here a couple of years ago, but still British born and bred mate. At least I get to watch all our games from here on cable tv, and even play for Montreal Utd to teach these putz's some skills...lol. Stalteri and Hargreaves your havin a laugh!!!...are you talkin about Jack Hargreaves the fisherman???
5:22 PM, May 27, 2006
Think that the main deciding factor of whether we make progress to champions league this season will not be Carlton Cole as he will only be 4th striker so unlikely to feature too much in our important games (lets be honest Rasiak didn't), and especially as neither of our first 3 strikers Berbatov, Keane or Defoe will be going to the ANC for 1 month either.
What Im saying is progress will depend on whether the latter 3 strikers perform enough in the prem and Uefa (forget the FA and Carling cups, Cole and Barney will take care of those, prem has got to be our priority).Think the key thing to be seen is whether Berbatov adapts quickly enough/at all and if Defoe regains his scoring form. Now on paper they both are capable, in practice only time will tell if they are.
5:36 PM, May 27, 2006
I agree that Carlton Cole dont look like setting the world alight,but he's a better 4th striker than Rasiak (was 4th choice for the prem champs Chelsk right?). I dont think that a world class striker like Kuyt, RVN, or even Gudjonsen is gonna be happy as our 4th striker. And we all know that it is more likely that if one of these did come in, Defoe would be pushed out to 4th choice and would leave by January, leaving us to bring in someone like Cole anyway!
So the bigger argument, is Defoe's heart in playing for THFC enough to end his barren spell? (I suspect he is good enough) or should we sell him for decent money now to bring in Kuyt, RVN or Gudjonsen as one of our first 3 strikers???...a lot depends on whether they would want to join us in the first place. Also might be a gamble replacing 2/3rds of our established strikeforce by replacing Mido AND Defoe!...it's not an easy choice for a manager, I can see Jol scratching his bald head now...lol!
COYS!
6:22 PM, May 27, 2006
Does anybody know any more about the rumour of Ryan Babel coming to us?
6:38 PM, May 27, 2006
Charlton desparately tried to sign Cole but were told they werent selling as he was too good. At Villa he was hit by injury and then told Chelsea wanted him back. If he was that bad they wouldve said bye bye a long time ago and sold him off. In this time hes been surrounded and learning his trade with top players like Crespo, Drogba, Zola. He'll make a good understudy to Berbatov and add a different option up front. He's 23 and 2 mil is nothing in terms of a tranfer fee, wont even dent the bank. If anyone can get the potential out of him its Jol. Don't forget behind all this we've got Barnard coming through aswell. Mido was good for a spell but as soon as a permanent contract looked in the bag he eased off the gas. Too much of a gamble to sign him for that amount based on the whole of his loan period. An extended loan til Jan wouldve been better.
6:50 PM, May 27, 2006
Like I said lads, no big deal about Cole being 4th striker.
But elsewhere in the world today...Shevcenko of Milan and Kalou of Feyenoord joining the russians at the bridge...how do they do it?!!!
Plus our target Kallstrom of Rennes has joined Lyon because they are in the champs league.
Which goes to prove a point that it is very difficult to attract world class players without champs league.
I say Jol should have one last go at signing Kuyt while he is still a free agent using his Dutch connection like abramovich used his Russian link for Sheva.
If Kuyt does not want to come, keep Defoe as we would be in crap if Defoe leaves and we are stuck with Cole as our 3rd striker!
7:02 PM, May 27, 2006
Kallstrom has gone has he? What about Babel? Also who was that other guy (midfielder) we were talking about signing last week. Can't remember his name but here were loads of rumours over the last cpl of weeks. I think his name started with a D.

fuck off spurs feeder club supporters. go and dream of gerrard banging them in from thirty yards HAHAHAHA wankers
9:18 PM, May 27, 2006
Anon 9.18pm, Cole is not back up for Berbatov really, cos if Berbatov was to get injured , the next first choice pairing would surely be Keane and Defoe like at the end of this season when they started to look good together, when Mido was unfit. If Berbatov would ever be out of action, Cole would sit on the bench to give us an extra physical option if needed late in a game. He would probably start only in carling and fa cup games to get some shooting practice, by the sounds of his record, he might need it...lol!
9:33 PM, May 27, 2006
well he is back-up in the sense that they are the same type of player.
big strong physical type.
however i agree keane/defoe is the next best option.
12:20 AM, May 28, 2006
This isn't going to go down very well but here goes.... I think we should let Carrick go if a really decent offer comes in for him. Yes of course he did ok but we deserve more than just ok. How many assists? how many goals scored? we can do better. He did this at the Stammers - world cup year...play for a space.. it'll be another four years before he plays anywhere near decent again. The armchair brigade will have a go at me but you wait and see.

11:09 AM, May 28, 2006
carrick is one of the main reasons for our success this season.
10.40 .. carrick is'nt meant to be an attacking midfielder, therefore he is'nt told to get as many goals as other AM would do. he is the holding midfielder, but as he as shown he does have the talent to go foward, gooners should know..for his mazy villa style run against the goons defence. if carrick leaves our midfield would fall apart.
11:50 AM, May 28, 2006
Not too sure about Carlton Cole, but worth a gamble at 2m quid, as long as he isn't allowed to hinder the progress of Tomas Pekhart who was absolutety outstanding in the Toulon U21 tournament. Can't wait for this kid to get a chance.
12:25 PM, May 28, 2006
2.32 i agree, jenas will only get better and better, but he didnt have the best of games, but look at carrick nor did he! but no look at him. jenas gives his all for the team, and people slagging him off and just wrong
2:49 PM, May 28, 2006
Hey relax with the tomas Peckhart hype, he is just a kid and the toulon tournament is for kids.
We all hope that he lived up to the billing as the Czech Rooney but give it sometime.
Anway, I got to see the kid in action throught this link...enjoy...

Those who want to sell carrick must be mad.He is one of two names that would be definitely on Jol team sheet.The other is Robinson.
If Man U wants him, he must be doing something right.Fergie has seen the likes of Roy Keane to rate Carrick so highly.
Roy Keane took about 4~5 seasons before he reached full maturity at Man U.Carrick has already took on the mettle of midfield enforcer 2 years at WHL.We will regret the day we let him go.
Zokora is considered so as to release Carrick from the holding role.Just read somewhere that Lippi the italy coach rate Zikoro so highly that he name him as one of two darkhouses who can make a impact at this WC.
Let win the transfer gamemanship over the gooners by recruiting Zikoro and Curtis Davies!
Bite the dusts...gonners !!!
4:31 PM, May 28, 2006
Sell Carrick???...10.40am are you havin a laugh?
Sorry mate dont agree, you can not sell a player on speculation that he will turn bad next year because there will be no worldcup. And remember with the spammers he was playing in a relegation quality side.
The one thing I will say, I dont agree with MJ making him "undroppable" as we have a young lad called Huddlestone, who is knocking the door and Carrick should keep on top of his game with fear of losing his place if has a bad game...thats what competition and squads are for...we should try and blood Huddlestone into the first team a little more this year.
5:56 PM, May 28, 2006
Yeah would be good if we could ring in just 1 quality addition to replace Davids. Kallstrom the swede from Rennes is apparently going to Lyon for Champs league.
Zokora would be good, but seems to be a lot of money asked and other big sides are interested. If he has a good worldcup he might get snapped up by a champs league team, so we should try and get him before.
The scum can offer Curt Davies champs league, so lets see on that one, however he doesn't speak french so might have trouble in the dressing room on that one...lol!
6:03 PM, May 28, 2006
On Peckhart and Dixon, they are youngsters that should be blooded slowly, wont be ready that soon, might take a season or 2, right now we need players who are seasoned and ready for the fight for a top 4 place. So Carlton Cole is the stop gap till then I suppose, lets hope he surprises us and turns out better than just a Rasiak replacement.
6:08 PM, May 28, 2006
5.56pm anon, first name on the teamsheet doesn't mean undroppable.
Huddlestone would be ask to play more this season if we have a good cup run.This goes for the like of Barney.
We miss the CL by 2 points ! It is imperative to play your best team whenever possible especially in the league.Some of us are still haunted by the games such as away to West Brom, where we can't call on Mido.
7:40 AM, May 29, 2006
I just hope we beat the gooners to Curtis Davies.This boy is class and CL quality.He is a born defender. He did what many CL defenders could not do that is mark our Henry.
I'm a realist but I think we must try to convince people to come to WHL b'cos we WILL be CL materials the coming season.
We must look at certain benchmark to get that CL spot.The team's depth and quality must rival Liverpool and Arsenal next season.to stand a chance. Not forgetting the likes of Newcastle would not just roll over for us.
This is a time for taking risk and lets do it big time I say.Invest and Invest Mr Levy, lets go for broke and stun the footballing world with some of our purchases.We have served time with the prudent purchasing policy for the past 2 season. Its time to signal our intent with some high profile purchases !
COYS !!!!
8:09 AM, May 29, 2006
since mido came back from the africa nations cup, he was lazy, overweight and injured.
i believe in jol's judgement.
berbatov hopefully will prove to be a much better player.
mido's agent priced him out of the move apparentley.
COYS
3:37 PM, May 29, 2006
Buying Carlton Cole would be just as bad as buying that pole.
we should be fine with Keane Berbatov and Defoe.
If we ever had masive injury problems with our strikers we could always play Routledge or Jenas as the extra stiker and they would do a far better job.
Why are we not linked to Huth? Hes good cover for King and Dawson.
10:24 PM, May 29, 2006
id like to think theres still hope of signing ribery by using D.Comolli, i remember comolli saying how talented ribery was when we held the under 21 match between the french and our lions. btw wigan charging us 6.3m for chimbonda takes the mick!
COYS
10:44 PM, May 29, 2006
Chimbonda is quality if we had him at right back for the whole of last season we would be in the CL.
It would be nice to see some alternatives for the right back spot.
10:49 PM, May 29, 2006
Just seen this link:
FRENCH STAR KEEPS SPURS WAITING
Wigan defender Pascal Chimbonda is going to keep Tottenham Hotspur waiting on his future after admitting he will decide his future after the world cup.
"It is not difficult to put it out of my mind," he said on Sky Sports News.
"I am concentrating on the World Cup and nothing will distract me from that.
"I will think about my future after the World Cup.
"At the moment I am only thinking about Germany."
11:30 PM, May 29, 2006
If the above link is true about Chimbonda, this stinks of him waiting till after the world cup to see if any better offers come along, which will mean there is no guarantee he will join us.
Im afraid this goes for all the players we're after that are going to the world cup...Kuyt, Ribery etc...they will all wait to see who else comes in for them before deciding. Thats just the way football is now when buying big name foreign stars, they make a decision based on the best money offered and whether a club is in champs league, uefa or whatever, no sentiments involved.
This is why we absolutely need to not sell any of our established players till we have got the signature on the contract for any proposed replacements, or we end up with last minute panic buys like Rasiak after selling Kanoute, eg we would be screwed if we sold Defoe before having definately signed a Kuyt or Huntelaar or a RVN etc
Apart from C.Cole (non world cup)I cannot see us making many other signings in the transfer market till any of our targets finish their world cup campaigns.
11:50 PM, May 29, 2006
Hi there, just found your website.
I was wondering as both a gay man and a BIG Spurs fan, does anyone know if there are any websites to cater for the Gay supporter ?
There must be other gay men out there, so come on boys, dont be shy ;o)

Does it really matter whether you are gay or not to watch spurs!!!! Whats your sexuality got to do with watching football pal?
Do you ever see anyone log on here and ask if there's a straight spurs site?
I suggest you get a life. If you want to meet gay men then piss off to Brighton or fuck off back to Highbury!!!!
