Redknapp wants new Woodgate contract

Posted by Stevio in Tottenham Hotspur on February 20th, 2011

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is hopefully that Jonathan Woodgate will get a new contract at White Hart Lane. The 31-year-old’s current deal expires this summer.

Redknapp said: “Hopefully he will [be offered a new deal]. I want him to come back fit. He’s a great player.

“I would love to see him get his career back on track because when I came here two years ago he was one of the first names on the sheet, a different class. He is one of the best centre-backs around.”

The ex-Real Madrid defender came on in the 59th minute for injured Vedran Corluka, following the horrendous two-footed tackle on him by ex-Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini.

Even though Woodgate had been out for over a year, he looked like he hadn’t been away, so fingers crossed his serious injury problems are over and he can earn himself a new deal at Spurs.

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!

Woodgate critical of Berbatov

Posted by Stevio in Miscellaneous on August 30th, 2008

Spurs defender Jonathan Woodgate has slammed striker Dimitar Berbatov for his recent behaviour.

The England international told The Sun: “What he’s done doesn’t give out a great message to the supporters, if I’m honest.

“The boys are working twice as hard for each other. If it was me, I would do it differently.

“I would work hard for the club up until I actually left. I’d still be playing until I was leaving.

“Even if I didn’t want to be somewhere I would still give 100 per cent because that’s the way I was brought up.”
