Tottenham Hotspur 2009/10

Posted by Stevio in Tottenham Hotspur on July 19th, 2009

It has been quite some time since my last post, a lot has happened. The main thing is that Spurs managed to avoid relegation to remain a Premiership club.

Now it’s the close season and all the talk is about transfers. So far, the only signing is an ex-Arsenal youngster called Anton Blackwood. Ricardo Rocha has been released, and Didier Zokora has left for Sevilla.

At present there’s plenty of talk on who could be coming to the Lane. Ashley Young, Peter Crouch, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar are a few being bandied around.

There’s also a lot of talk on who will exit the club. Tom Huddlestone, Darren Bent, David Bentley to name a few.

I think the present squad is pretty good. We’ve got two very good goalkeepers. The defence is strong, although a new experienced centre-half would be a useful addition to act as cover with Michael Dawson. With Zokora’s departure, a new defensive midfielder would be a good idea, as we’ve only got Wilson Palacios who can play there. Of course, as always, a left winger would be great, but, well, let’s not hold our breaths. Upfront is an area which is up for much debate. We’ve got four quality strikers, however there’s question marks on whether they can play together.

I think with a few new additions we should be more than capable of qualifying for Europe next season, especially if we can maintain our excellent home form. That said, we must keep Jonathan Woodgate and Ledley King fit, as without them, our defence becomes too vulnerable. Also I hope Aaron Lennon can continue improving his game, as he most certainly shone last season.

Duo sign for Spurs

Posted by Stevio in Tottenham Hotspur on July 1st, 2008

Tottenham Hotspur have signed a new ‘keeper, sadly it isn’t Gomes, but Mirko Ranieri.

Ranieri is an under-16 Italian international and comes from Perugia.

Spurs’ sporting director Damien Comolli told the official website: “Mirko is 6ft 2″ and an excellent shot stopper. His distribution and decision making is improving all the time.

“He is a highly-intelligent individual and another very good young goalkeeper we have attracted to the Club.”

In other news, Tom Huddlestone has signed a new five-year deal at White Hart Lane. This comes after the 21-year-old was recently linked with a move to Everton and Middlesbrough.

Berbatov and Huddlestone linked with exits

Posted by Stevio in Rumours on June 7th, 2008

Dimitar Berbatov has been mentioned by AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani as a possible signing for the Italian giants.

He said: “Drogba, Adebayor, Berbatov, Barcelona’s Samuel Eto’o and Stuggart’s Mario Gomez are the players the Press have linked us with.

“I cannot say who we will get but any of them would be good.”

Another player on the way out of White Hart Lane could be Tom Huddlestone. He’s been linked with a move to Everton.

The 21-year-old had already been linked with a £6m move to Goodison Park yesterday, today however, The Sun report the defender/midfielder as being rated at £8m. It seems his value has risen £2m in one day!
