Tottenham Hotspur - my vent thread.

[The Cryptkeeper]

Sorry to burden you guys with this but I have to get it off my chest.

Now we all know that the Premier League has no soul and that player transfers are the norm. With free agency and big dollars there is no loyalty left in the world game. However, I have to vent my spleen at my beloved club, Tottenham Hotspur selling off our captain and spritual leader Robbie Keane. Seven years he gave my club in an era where anybody staying at their club longer than a couple of years is automatically afforded legend status. Seven years and they offload him. Seven years of Keane knocking back bigger offers to play elsewhere and now Spurs move him on. I have just recovered from the sale of Dimitar Berbatov and now this??????

Well that's it. I've had enough. I'm done. I will no longer watch the British game and so my summer months will be devoid of any and all football.

[RustyHawk]

The EPL certainly shows us the way we dont want the AFL to head.

Not a big follower of the EPL but your reasons are similiar to mine for not watching or taking any interest in the NBA. I used to love watching the old Celtics (go team) vs Lakers and later Bulls v Pacers battles. Not anymore.

Too much bling and the mighty $$ of moving players to teams has ruined the passion for me.

[Rimbaz]

Berbatov hasn't been sold yet! Wish you'd hurry up and offload to ManU already :D

As a fellow Spurs fan, you freaked me out when you said that Berbatov had been sold. I fear though that with Keane gone, Berbatov will want to leave even more.

Hopefully you won't be offended by a Geelong fan joining this discussion, but as a Spurs fan I would like to add to your (impressive) rant:

On the Keane sale, this is seriously disheartening. One of my great sporting pleasures is going to the Lane and watching the human energizer bunny that is Keano running around like a madman. I honestly thought that given the amount of times he could have left, that he would stay. Apparently not.

He could have stayed, made an absolute shed-load of money along the way, and retired as an absolute legend of the club. Now he will go down as just another good player who left to play for a so-called "big club" (Liverpool's status as a big club these days is questionable if you ask me).

But do you know what is the worst part of the whole deal? Keane trying to sell the reason for his move as being that "I was a Liverpool fan as a kid, and I have always wanted to play for them". What an absolute crock. If he had said that he wanted to play Champions League this year, or that it was all about the money, then I would have respected him a lot more than giving this bull&*%t reason that he felt some attachment to a club that he followed as a kid. As Judge Judy would say - "Don't piss on my leg and tell me its raining". He has played for Coventry, Wolves, Inter Milan and Leeds (as well as Spurs) and now he says he is still a Liverpool fan? What an absolute disgrace. Does this mean that every time he played Liverpool he went easy on them because he is a Reds fan?

I can accept players leaving clubs, as sport in general (and EPL in particular) is big business but this one leaves a seriously bad taste in my mouth.

Keane was my absolute favourite Spurs player, because he always seemed like a guy he gave his all at all times. Now this is is questionable. He is either a liar, or deep down his heart was never in it at Spurs. Either way, his legacy at Spurs has been forever tainted and I hope he enjoys his time at Liverpool as much as Harry Kewell did.

Well that's it. I've had enough. I'm done. I will no longer watch the British game and so my summer months will be devoid of any and all football.

Come on, I'm as upset as the next Spurs fan about Keano moving on, but let's get some facts straight.

Keano has been plotting this move all summer, to his boyhood club, and once him and Benitez had decided it was looking like going through, he submitted a transfer request to move to Liverpool.

We certainly haven't offloaded him. If he wants to play elsewhere, why keep someone who doesn't want to be there?

And good on him - he deserves the chance to play Champions League anyway. We should be thankful for the time we got from him. And for 20 mil, its great business.

[Hinkley29]

And good on him - he deserves the chance to play Champions League anyway. We should be thankful for the time we got from him.

Be thankful for what? The fact that he was plotting to leave a club that he supposedly loved, to join a club that he now says he has always barracked for? Even whilst taking a bucketload of money from other clubs along the way?

Apart from the the £20.3m (which under the circumstances is a pretty good deal, I have a feeling Liverpool paid overs a little bit in exchange for Spurs not pursuing their handling of this matter any further) we have nothing to be thankful for. Nothing.

[Gilbert_Hodge]

Sunderland actually stayed out of the relegation zone this year so I am happy!

[Rimbaz]

With the signings they are making this summer they should easily stay out again next season too.

I appreciate the whole (dis)honesty about it all, and that annoys me too.

But at the end of the day, you have to to look at what we are as a club. And what are we? A 5th - 12th type of side. We'll struggle to ever break into the top 4, and if we do, then it won't be on a regular basis.

Keano gave us six great years (his best years), and I'm far, far happier that we had him for those years than if we didn't.

And at 20mil for a 28yo, its great.

Bring on David Villa.

[Linzman]

Well let's just hope that it's a good competition this year, can teams outside the Big 4 come in and shake up the table? I recon they can. I still think its the best league to watch for the neutral.

Melbourne Victory play their first Home game of season 4 Friday 29th of August at Telstra Dome! (Hawks play the blues there the day after)

[HFC082]

The boost of revenue from actually staying out of the relegation zone will enable the club to chase high profile players. Any idea who they are chasing?

But 20M for Keano is an awesome result for Spurs. When you consider that Henry left Arsenal for 16M, Spurs are the winner in this deal.

The problem is Keef, that last season we paid 16.5mil for Darren Bent (not long after Torres went to Liverpool for about 20mil).

So, in effect, we've pocketed about 3mil and swapped Keane for Bent !!!!

Any money we "made" on Keano is just repaying what we wasted last season...

[Grooves]

The David Bentley deal has been done, which is good business I reckon.

Going to be interesting to see how Ramos lines the team up. Get the feeling, assuming no Berbatov, that its going to be Bent up front (another hattrick overnight), with heavy support from the wings through Lennon / Bentley / dos Santos ?

Pity you missed out on El Hadji Diouf.....

[cats2rise]

Hey, we have 20 mil from the Keane Transfer, look at the plus. He will not get as much game time at Liverpool, and he is missing out on something special over 08/09. Spurs did not push him out, he wanted to leave to a bigger club. Someone who states after the Carling Cup win that his future is at WHL but then changes his mind... I do not want him on my team. With Ramos bringing in Bentley, Dos Santos, Modric et al, we are set attackingly and throughout the wings with Lennon.

Gomes is a massive upgrade on the un-confident Robinson. Now, if Berbatov goes we are going to have upwards of 45-50 million pounds... We can go with a quality striker to partner Bent.

Its not all doom and gloom at White Hart Lane, but gee if Keane scores against us I will not be happy.

Was rumoured to be going to Manchester United for 28M. The deal was supposedly signed, sealed and delivered but apparently as of right now this is not the case.

Ill take the 1-1 draw last night. Got pretty lucky.

Berbatov didn't make the trip so obviously we get that sorted soon. (Doesnt the window end soon?)

Didn't it end today?

I'm so glad Berbatov hasn't gone to Man U.

Cop that, Fergie.

[philhawk]

Mind you, if they keep Berbatov, they'll have a bloody good team ...

Bent, Berbatov, Dos Santos, Lennon and Pavlyuchenko aren't that bad at all!

If only they still had Keane. ;)

spurs were really lucky today to be honest. but wouldn't mind anyone making chelski bleed.

I only take a passing interest in the EPL but I did notice that after only 2/3 games, three of the big four are already at the top of the table.

This probably explains why I only have a passing interest, thank God
socialism is alive and well in the AFL.

Give them a few years, but Man City will be up there in a few years.

[Judd2Sewell]

I'm absolutely LIVID we didn't sign anyone, especially after Wenger promised 'one or two' more additions to the squad.

Tottenham couldn't really have done anything. Berbatov wanted out, they can't realistically keep a player that doesn't want to be there - it would be bad for moral and he could/would put in insipid performances.

Wait and see - he'll be an absolute gun.

Don't be too annoyed - I love what Wenger does at Arsenal.

Sure, it's a long-term strategy, but signing the likes of Ramsey, Walcott, Nasri etc will only benefit the club in the future.

But yeh, you guys probably need someone else up forward to help Adebayor.

Did you know that you guys made a play for Kalou?

Arsenal are the Hawthorn of the EPL:

Loads of young, exciting players
Playing fast, skilful, attractive, attacking football


But, yes, another central midfielder would have been nice before the deadline.

Spurs have been going around in circles ever since Glen Hoddle retired.

I will reserve judgement until Modric makes a contribution.

This new formation is just not gelling at the moment.

Fair enough, but I reckon Stalteri was an honest battler at best. Modric could be a star. He has already shown flashes of his quality in combining with our other ballplayers. When they get a few more games under their belt together, Modric will be awesome. Nothing to worry about there.

The season starts now for Spurs. Getting rid of Berba (as much at pains me to say that) was a must. He just had to go and in the end we got a good price for him (£30m+ and Campbell on loan). Unfortunately we start behind the 8 ball in regards getting the players to gel, but we have made our bed and now have to lie in it.

I can honestly say I am much more positive about Spurs today than I was yesterday morning.

EDIT: I forgot to add that Man U are a disgrace. And Ferguson is a hypocrite. That's all.

Man City just became the richest club in England (literally) overnight.

In a league where there is no salary cap, it is almost a guarantee of success.

They will be massive players in the next transfer window, unfortunately Robinho will just be the first in a long list of Man City purchases. They will have to pay overs initially to lure players to the club but they have already shown an appetite to do just that. Within 3 years they will be as despised as Man U and Chelsea.

[Hinkley29]

Nasri and Ramsey are quality signings for the future.

They just need to sign a promising young striker from somewhere - and it wouldn't suprise me to see Arsene make a play for Aguero from Sporting Lisbon.

The funny thing is, I was reading an article about Arsenal and it was the CEO saying how if Arsene ever came to them and asked for 30 million pounds straight up to buy a player, they'd have the cheque book out before he could finish the sentence.

Arsene just prefers to buy players in a more shrewd manner.

Walcott - Nasri - Fabregas - Ramsey

Ha, absolutely no way. Aguero will be the world's best striker pretty soon, Wenger won't fork out more than 15 mil for anyone, this guy could be worth as much as triple that. We have five strikers at the club anyway ... all under 26.

Adebayor and RVP is a decent strike partnership. Eduardo is a clinical finisher and is due back in December. Carlos Vela and Nicklas Bendtner will be quality as well. :thumbsu:

We are set offensively.

What we need is an experienced DM and a dominant CB. Gallas is terrible in the air and it kills us in set pieces.

No, they're not. They're just shit.

What he said.

Too many personell changes on the pitch, no time for the team to get any true understanding going.

Another great weekend for us Spurs fans.

2-1 loss to Stoke and two blokes sent off....

How ****ing embarrassing.

lol

every year

predicted to come 5th, even push for a champions league spot.

YET another slow start to the season for the spurs, though it looks like your teams gonna keep losing:thumbsd:

enjoy supporting your team in the championship next season:thumbsu:

"You're getting sacked in the morning"

Gotta love the opposition chants coming from another team in the relegation zone.

Up until now I'd have said that Tottenham are too big/good to go down and they probably still are, but geez the next 4 matches aren't going to be a walk in the park;

Bolton - SHOULD win - probably wont
Arsenal - Nup - not gonna happen
Chelsea - Nup - not gonna happen
Man City - Nup - not gonna happen

If Martin Jol had purchased a central defender after Ledley King went over he'd still be in the job. Instead he spent up on every hack, two-bit striker that he could find and shoehorned himself out of the number one role.

It is a real shame becasue Jol was a fine matchday planner and a great tactician. His successor though, is an illiterate moron who has completely lost his players. The undisciplined bullshit that was served up yesterday is evidence of this and should be the straw that will break the camel's back.

And to think, I will be making my first (and probably only) lifetime trip to White Hart Lane next month to see them play Blackburn. My boyhood dream of seeing Spurs play at home has quickly turned into a nightmare.:mad:

Argh, I feel for you Crypt as going to an EPL game is a fantastic experience. I went and saw Fulham and Man City when I was over there which was great as I didn't care who won!!!

We are going to need a HUGE effort to get out of this one, though and what you said is right - a club record trnsfer for a dime a dozen striker was a monumental mistake. Then to let both Keane and Berbatov go and NOT reinforce our defence was an even bigger blunder.

Stupid thing is, if we can see it over here, what the **** are they doing over there? These people are supposed to be experts.

And if I here any more cliched answers about why we lost, I'm dead set going to stab someone....

I went and saw Sunderland v West Ham at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland won 2 - 1 in the 95th minute. Great atmosphere which is probable caused by the lot of them being pissed off their faces!

[The Cryptkeeper]

we finally f***ing won one.

[Frankston Rover]

Harry is a magician.

Hopefully we can avoid relegation now. Was a good win too.
