King Tendulkar Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Is he any good? Serious question so no pi## taking from people like Preds. Did not really get to see much of him last year. I assume he is rapid though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator_05 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 He iz betta' than Ronaldinho m8 Nah, seriously - good player. Very good finisher, decent close control (see his goal vs Everton at Goodison) and strong enough to hold off defenders. He would complement Berbatov well. He is a natural penalty box goal-poacher. Surely this means that Defoe is leaving though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tendulkar Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Defoe is cr#p. Very overrated. He is not even quick, his pace is a myth. Not good enough for a top 4 side, squad plyer only. Bent will be awesome, just have a feeling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator_05 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 What about Keano - can't bench him 'cos he is class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator_05 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Bent has a great goalscoring record - 18 and 14 goals in the last two seasons for Charlton respectively. That is damn good. See pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holysmoke Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I havent seen him play, but he better be insaaaaaaaaaanely good. I mean, 16M for Henry, and this guy's club is asking for 18M for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator_05 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Bent is 23 and Henry is almost 30. Transfer fees these days reflect promise. If Spurs get 5 good seasons out of Bent, he would be worth the investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooda Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 16 m is too much, but hes a good striker. Defoe is a better finisher though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tendulkar Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 Spurs for top 3 place. We have arguably the best strike pair in world football bar Barcelona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashi Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Good move for Bent.He would do well for Spurs, i reckon. Spurs to break the Big Four...?Possible.If Martin Jol gets his tactics right for once! They had a good chance the last two seasons as well.They bottled it tho. I for one would like Spurs to do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are chokers yaar...perennial chokers. Everyone was talking about how good they would be last summer, but the first half of the season they were just a few spots above the relegation zone. They still haven't replaced Carrick, IMO. King's fitness is also going to be crucial, because he holds their defence together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King's fitness is also going to be crucial, because he holds their defence together. Yup...King is massive for them.He is underrated to an extent when people talk about defenders.He is mint when he is fit. Now that they have signed Bale,maybe they will add some solidity to the left side where they lack heavily. Having said that,they must keep their base.But in all honesty, i dont see how it is possible. The fact is that if Berbatov, Lennon, Huddlestone etc do continue to play well,they will be snapped up by the bigger teams(read The Big Four). But i admire them because they try to have an english centered team unlike a few teams in the league...no prizes for guessing those teams:P N add to that the fact that they rival Arsenal and to a certain extent Chelski, only adds to my wishing well for Spurs.:angel_smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They paid £10 mil for an 18 year old who has no experience other than some 40 odd matches in the mediocre cess-pit otherwise known as the Championship and because he supposedly has a decent free kick ! How ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How ridiculous. True that...10mil is a lot of money for a player who is unproven.But it is yet to be seen whether its an outright 10mil transfer fee or its going to be paid in installments. Inflation...my friend. I blame Chelski :wink_smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tendulkar Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 We are signing a 8 million centre back from france. We have top squad. Bale is expensive but will br top draw. Bent to me seems a much superior version of Defoe. As he is quicker, stronger, less selfish and better finisher. There is now the big 5 again! Spurs are are real threat to status quo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todays reports suggest that Jol may make an combo offer of 18 mil for Swp n Diarra. Will be a coup if u people can get Swp.U could do with strengthening your left side.Its from the Sun though...so, if i were u i wouldn't read much into it tho.:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
