An increase in transfer speculation saw us interestingly linked with David Beckham.

Martin Jol said yesterday: “I’ll sit down and have a think about it tonight. We are well covered on the flanks already. It’s a difficult one. We’ve got Wayne Routledge, although he’s on loan, plus Hossam Ghaly and Aaron Lennon.”

I’m not sure what to think if we were interested in the Real Madrid midfielder. He’d cost a heck of a lot in terms of wages, and with that in mind, would he be able to justify such high wages?

I think if he joined he’d be very influential at the club with all his experience, something of a role that Edgar Davids has. Question is where would he play? I could possibly see him replacing Jermaine Jenas in a central miidfield role. But is he good enough there? On the right wing, I don’t think he contributes enough there, and with Aaron Lennon, there’s no role for him there. So it would be a curious move if it did in fact happen.

Other rumours are that Robbie Keane is being linked with a £5m move to Aston Villa and we’re supposedly considering making a move for ex-Arsenal defender Matthew Upson, who is with Birmingham City.

Despite drawing 0-0 at Watford, I think we deserved the draw. Aaron Lennon had many chances, but their ‘keeper Ben Foster was in fine form to keep the youngster at bay. They did have some very chances though: Tommy Smith’s glaring miss in front of goal and Ashley Young’s goal which was wrongly ruled off side.

Admittedly I was disappointed to see no Mido and Defoe starting, I know we have Club Brugge in the UEFA Cup on Thursday, but we need players who are scoring goals, sadly, they’re in short supply at the moment.

In other news, Calum Davenport is out for a few weeks with a groin injury.

Spurs manager Martin Jol told the club’s official site: “We had to rest Calum this weekend and he will probably be out for the next two weeks.”

I hope he makes a speedy recovery, especially with Ledley King playing so many matches after recovery from his knee problem.

Following our fantastic 5-0 League Cup win over Milton Keynes Dons midweek, we now take the short trip to Watford. There’s only a six point gap between us and them, but in terms of quality, there’s a huge gap. They have some capable players though, Ashley Young being the main one catching the eye of late with his goals. Still though, we should be capable of getting a win at Vicarage Road.

Sadly Didier Zokora is still missing due to illness, however, as I’ve mentioned before, Tom Huddlestone is doing a fine job standing in. Lee Young-Pyo is also out with an ankle injury, although I can’t see him forcing Benoit Assou-Ekotto or Pascal Chimbonda out of the team at the moment anyway. Paul Stalteri is doubtful too, but it doesn’t appear that he’s a first-team regular anymore.

The interesting but good headache Martin Jol will have is who to play upfront. The fact is Jermain Defoe and Mido have scored five in their last two games together, therefore I’d be tempted to stick with them against Watford. Of course, Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane won’t be happy, but if you’re in form you play!

So come on Spurs, let’s get another win tomorrow!
