King on trial.

Seems like ledley could go the way of woodgate if he doesnt make 20 games this season according to a mail report quoting harry.
HR reportedbly said "how can i ask the chairman to renew his contract at the end of the season if he has only played 2 games"?
Sad day if this does turn out to be the case,find a gem of a player and he turns out injury prone at a very young age.

play as you pay contract. its working with woodgate
oh and he also said spurs never offerd him a pay as you pay contract

Well i reckon that was true lought, reports i read said he had turned down a pay as you play contract at spurs.
Mr levy wanted him off the books i reckon.

he said on the bbc website that spurs didnt offer any contract with them or he would still be there

IS THIS THE END OF THE LINE FOR THIS TOTTENHAM FAN FAVOURITE?

According to the Daily Mail, bastion of all that is true and just, Tottenham’s perennial injury-victim has been handed an ultimatum by club boss Harry Redknapp. The 30-year-old has been told: play twenty games this season or miss out on a new contract. The England international has spent his entire career at the club, but his contract will expire at the end of the current season. Tottenham appear to be taking a stricter stance on the issue than they have done previously. Harry Redknapp told the Mail:
‘He has to play this year. I can’t go to the chairman and say: “Give Ledley a contract,” if he has only played two games because he isn’t going to do that. This is Ledley’s big year, he’s got to play 20 games or so, really. Ledley needs to put some games in this year to get another contract.’
It goes without saying that Ledley is a fan favourite at White Hart Lane, but could his time at Spurs be drawing to an end?
Just like everyone else, I sincerely hope that King can overcome his injury difficulties and provide a meaningful contribution for his club this season.

There’s no doubt that Tottenham are a more defensively assured team when he plays. But let’s face it: Spurs have gambled on King for a number of season’s now and it’s a gamble that hasn’t paid off.
Some may suggest offering him a Pay-as-you-play type deal, but what’s the point of wasting a squad space on somebody who has provided ample evidence that he’s unable to contribute to this Spurs side? Tottenham proved earlier this summer that they could be ruthless in these kind of circumstances when they released perma-crock Jonathan Woodgate. It may well be that they have to do the same for King come next summer.
On the flipside of this, if King does show signs that he’s on the road to recovery, then he’d be worthy of his place in the squad, so long as a fair contract can be negotiated. It’s a difficult issue, but Tottenham’s stance on the situation is pitch-perfect. They’ve eased the pressure off of them and onto the player himself – if Ledley can’t come up the goods, despite it being through no fault of his own, then it doesn’t make sense for the club to keep him.
I’m sure Tottenham fans would hate to see King at another club but as time rolls on, this seems to a more and more likely possibility.

Did this last week max, not so in depth but saying exactly the same...sorry........see thread ledley on trial.......guess what max ? one of us is just about to be merged!

If this is true, in all honesty could we blame the club if they do not offer him a contract if he only plays a dozen or so games, I think we and Ledley have been expecting this for a while now. I do wonder if perhaps knowing that Ledley does struggle to put a run of games together would it have been a better choice to have hung onto Woodgate, in other words even with his injury problems would we have got more games out of Woodgate than Ledley?

Sorry Lew, i missed it. maybe Baz might delete this post for me.

I know we cant delete any self made post if someone has answered to it max, i have managed to catch a couple of mine that have been merged or moved and managed to delete them, not to anger the mods but because i felt the subject of the post had been diluted by merging it.
