Tottenham Memorabilia

At last someone has admitted it, Spurs prolific strikers do not score enough goals.

Don’t be daft some will say but stop and think how many chances Tottenham create. Often Spurs are all over teams but do not tuck the ball away. This has to improve.

There have been over 100 goals at White Hart Lane, but not enough of them scored by Tottenham. Attack is the Spurs philosophy now, that’s great, but you have to back it up will goals aplenty, 4 - 4 draws are not good enough.

Look at the Chelsea game, Spurs could and should have won 5-4 in the dying moments. This is exactly the type of chance that Tottenham have missed to many of, the type Spurs must score more of.

During the summer Ramos must be ruthless with under achievers and buy quality. Tottenham after the sale of Defoe have 3 strikers, Bent will surely go, Berbatov might be tempted by the Champions League, leaving Spurs only with Keane. To try and find 2 quality strikers is difficult, 3, well I just can’t see that much money being available when you consider the need for a central defender, a full back and a new creative spark in midfield.

Tottenham players ask themselves, should I stay or should I go?

With the season effectively over everybodies thoughts have now turned to the summer clearout, the next step in the Ramos Revolution. Not many games left to win over the boss and claim a new contract. here is our verdict on those who’s future is on the line.

Paul Robinson - we are actively seeking keepers so his days are numbered.

Radek Cerny - a very average keeper to my mind, sell and bring in a younger understudy to whoever we sign as our number 1.

Pascal Chimbonda - he wants to leave. He dribbles to much out of defence and was sold two dummies completely taking him out the game on the halfway line against PSV Eindhoven. We are told he is good in the air but has little effect in the opposition penalty area. He makes a good squad member but he will be going.

Lee Young-Pyo - surely he must be able to play at right back as he is right footed, he can’t cross with his left. I would retain him as a squad player if he is able to play right back.

Michael Dawson - some reports suggest he will be sold, I am a fan. He and King formed a great partnership and he carried our defence last year. I strongly think he should be one of our four centre backs.

Younis Kaboul - he is young but has not shown yet he is reliable, like Chimbonda he likes to dribble out of defence too much and gets caught. Because of his age I’ll come down on the side of keeping him.

Ricardo Rocha - he is not really good enough, reliable yes for a mid table side a good squad player, but as we are looking beyond that, sell.

Aaron Lennon - why has he stopped going past players with pace? He is playing the ball backwards a lot more and needs to start running at defenders again. His final ball still needs work and I think he is one that should be retained and developed, a bit like Shaun Wright-Phillips has at Chelsea.

Kevin Prince-Boateng - again very young, we have players who have promise but are not ready to deliver. All he seems to do is play a simple pass and keep the ball apart from getting booked every time he tries to make a tackle. We need players who can deliver now so another for the boot.

Darren Bent - goodbye. Dimitar Berbatov scored with a volley against PSV, Bent missed the target, that sums it up.
