Brad Friedel joins Spurs

Posted by Stevio in Transfers on June 3rd, 2011

Something certain of late is how unpredictable and perhaps even incomprehensible Spurs signings have been of late.

In January we were screaming out for a new striker, did we get one? No. We instead bought a midfielder in Steven Pienaar, who you have to say wasn’t really needed.

Today has seen us sign Aston Villa’s veteran ‘keeper Brad Friedel. At 40 years of age, he’s still a very capable goalkeeper. However, one has to ask why sign him?

One would assume Heurelho Gomes is on his way out of White Hart Lane, especially since Carlo Cudicini signed a new deal. However, this is Spurs we’re talking about, where logic isn’t always applied.

Admittedly, I had enough of Heurelho Gomes and his shocking errors, there were times though that he made some fantastic saves. We have seen all this before and the Brazilian did bounce back big time.

So who will be our number one next season? Gomes? Friedel? Cudicini? Only two months to find out!

City beaten, Burnley next

Posted by Stevio in Tottenham Hotspur on May 9th, 2010

I’m still pretty speechless following Spurs’ 1-0 win at Manchester City. Such an amazing night. To qualify for the Champions’ League is just fantastic. Sure we still have to come through some tough sounding qualifying matches, but just to get there is brilliant. Of course though, I for one won’t be wanting our Champions’ League campaign to be brief.

Unbelievably, we could still claim third position in the league if Arsenal lose. Admittedly, I doubt they’ll lose, as Fulham as have eyes on the Europa Cup Final. Plus we’ve got to get a win at Burnley, who as we’ve seen before, won’t be a pushover. But nevertheless, after Wednesday, anything can happen!

As for team news, hero Heurelho Gomes is doubful with thigh strain. Ledley King is out, and Vedran Corluka, Niko Kranjcar, Carlo Cudicini and Jonathan Woodgate are all still missing.

We’ve had a great season, I really hope we can finish on a high. COYS!
