Harry should have used the run in after we were safe to ‘blood’ a few of the youngsters,Bostock,Mason and Obika for example.
Huddleston should have had more pitch time too. Taarabt and Giovani are young enough to develop and whether they are loaned or given a chance we need to develop their undoubted talents.
Who knows we may have what we are looking for at the club already and save ourselves £15 million a throw on people outside.
Good blog but ‘best on the net’ implies that Jonathon hasn’t read mine.

also..

3: has AANP got his heart set on modric playing in the centre? wouldn’t be surprised if he stayed ‘out’ left and we got someone tougher in the centre.

1: so Ricardo Rocha is staying, then?!

2: I hope Gio Does Santos stays- maybe Harry just thought he needed to toughen up a bit… oodles of talent.

Aye, that’s a fair point. Was rushing it a bit because the Cup Final was about to start (missed the first goal, dammit) so picked the first title that sprung to mind - but I think I’d shake each of that lot by the hand and wish them well if they were moved on.

And agree with woodsidestriker - would prefer to see the younger players loaned out for regular first-team games, rather than sold. Can add Giovani and Taarabt to that list.

Forgive me for changing the subject slightly, but what kind of title is “Sayonara Suckers”? That’s no way to describe departing spurs players who don’t make the grade or fit into the set-up. Zokora ain’t no sucka, nor is O’Hara. If they leave I’ll bid those hard working lads farewell with a heavy heart, and remember the times we shouted “Yiddo, yiddo!” at them.

Hossam Ghaly on the other hand, is one mother of a sucka.

The more obvious solution is that Hudd be lent out on loan to Wolves for example, or Birmingham. Same could be true for O’Hara.

Best Spurs blog on the net. The piece about Zokora was particularly amusing.

Appreciate what you’re saying Squad depth but you can’t have £15m signings on the bench..they don’t like it!
