Tottenham Thread

Surprisingly routine win. Good rotation by Poch and excellent performance by Son.

Still think we need a back up striker. Shane Long looks an obvious choice to me.

[alfieconn]

Don't know what happened there but the Poxy alarm clock didn't go off ended up waking up for the last half an hour, have to watch the first 60 mins later.

Anyway, it seems to me lately that playing any of the squad players doesn't really weaken us significantly if at all, a real nice position to be in.

[champers]

The first half had me nodding off, I couldn't manage the second. Leicester were very poor, Spurs very professional and assured. Colchester will give you a tougher game than this one.

[SantiSuk]

Leicester never showed up. Tinker man has decided these duty little English cup tournaments are low priority. Probably right as his reputation is going to take a leap if he can secure top 4 and nobody remembers who got knocked out in the later stages of the FA cup. Nice to see Pochetino going for everything he can. [still in UK and the match was on Beeb 1. Shame the first half must have had most neutrals switching over to Corrie!]

Yeah not a bad shout don't think poch will sign him but for me i always liked long, imo never recieves enuf credit and probably not worked to his benefit he's effective off the bench.

I read something yesterday saying that Pochettino is going to use a couple of youngsters from the academy as back up for Kane. I suppose we'll have to trust his judgement.

[smokie36]

There's not really anyone suitable in Jan for a decent price...basically no one wants to sell their best striker now.

I read something along them lines but I don't believe that for one minute carms, just a bit of spin in case we don't sign anyone.

I think the one most likely to come is Dembele but i'm not even sure that he is ready for the Premiership

Blimey, I've just seen the film A.I Artificial Intelligence and Harry Kane when he was a kid.

That's fine he can sit on the bench until he gets ready.

Yes, here's a screenshot from the movie.

[carmine]

Struggling to understand how we are i-0 down. Kane really should have pulled the ball back for Dier, who was unmarked on the six yard line.

Rose looks a worry against Zaha who clearly thinks he has the better of him.

No reason to panic....yet!

[tmaker]

Great Game !!

World Class Goal - Alli

[smokie36]

Yes fantastic win in the end.

[MrTee]

This has to be one of the best goals ever..

Most of you are probably too young to remember. I know I am.

Former Tottenham defender Peter Baker, part of the club's legendary Double-winning side of 1961, has died aged 84.

Born in Hampstead, London, in 1931, Baker joined Spurs in 1952 and went on to make 299 league appearances for the North London club, scoring three times.

Someone called Nobby will be along in a minute to tell us he never missed a game, used to drink 20 pints of stout and get a bag of chips and still have enough left from a shilling for the bus home.

Someone said in one of the threads that academies are there to either produce players for the first team squad or produce players to sell on, well we seem to be the bee's knees at doing both, Townsend's 12m makes it 28m GBP we've made in the last 2 seasons from academy players, add in the value of Kane, Mason, Bentaleb, Onomah, Carroll and Pritchard then it looks like it's happy days

12m for a player surplus to requirements is great business.

I wonder if we will reinvest it in a player before the window closes?

Only if Pochettino can get exactly the kind of player he wants. He's not the type to be hungering for Balotelli.

In Poch we certainly trust at this point....hopefully he has his eye on a striker as cover.

Any news on verity?

And 12 mill for andros,, decent enuf

wish the guy well always sad to see one of our own go, but it was time,, sure he'll do well as a.straight 4 ward Winger, just not pochs style.

I think the Baggies chairman, Pierce, is acting like a prick over Berahino. The lad doesn

t want to stay, so let him go. Plus he's now a dwindling asset.

JW is out for a minimum of three weeks and at worse two months pending on the severity of injury. I presume we'll line up with Wimmer who looks quite solid although i've not seen too much of him. However, if we lose Alderweirald were deep in it!

[rijit]

Yeah verify is a blow according to the papers spurs are hopeful he'll return for mar 5 v the arsewipes. As for berihino , yep the wb chairman by not selling when the manager wanted has probably cost the club could be as much as 10 million and almost certainly damaged berihinos chances of 'stepping Up ' a level ain't quite the 'clamour' for him there was last window .

The crazy thing is that Berahino only has 18 months left on his contract so even if he starts playing and scores a few goals his value is still going to go down !!
