    No one could forsee that we would lose three major players of the spurs team after four matches, its just fcking bad luck, especially when we are starting on the new unknown venture called the champions league.

    I personally praised levy for not being drawn into signing big name , big money recruitments but i just have to question that perhaps we should have done a little more to cover certain positions.

    I like gallas and vaart ! top signings with their cl experience, they were what we needed at this stage of progress made over the last couple of years, but we seemed to have ignored the injury factor.........our first teamers needed adequate back- up, i mean who can replace a crocked modric ? or defoe ?

    Unfortunately to maintain progress we did need to get involved in the summer transfer merry go round, we needed to get in cover for certain positions............i just hope we arent going to regret it.

    Agree shear ! then we have to put up with rubbish chants like " champions league ? youre having a laugh "

    Defoe and modric are the heart of the team along with bale and others, take them away and we will struggle.

    when you see spams have been done 4 times already this season with 0 pts from 4 and then we are only 5 points ahead it makes pretty bad reading considering they have had some tough games. we should be out of sight of them now. i know its early days but i been to 2 home games and aint seen us score yet, depressing.lol

    But we have 4 international strikers Lew that Harry says are the envy of the Prem so Defoe being out shouldn't make to much difference, should it. Providing the manager picks the right combination of course.

    And we have such a great number of midfielders that Modric being injured shouldn't be to much trouble, should it....especially as we have been without him for long periods before. Providing the manager picks the right combination of course.

    You see what I am getting at Lew.The players have to take a lot of the responsibility, but the manager picks the team and if he isn't picking the right players then a lot of the blame has to be his.

    I have to admit we did ok without modric last term mikey, cant deny that because i have made the same point many times myself..........i think i am just disappointed that we have lost three important players in one week, and we start the cl for real next week, we needed to be at our strongest.

    I dont know if we have an enviable strike force, certainly harry thinks so ! its questionable i suppose ? i definately think obika should be given a go.....or is he out on loan?

    Jonathan Obika


    Currently on loan at Crystal Palace having agreed to join the Championship club for the 2010-11 season.

    This followed involvement with the Spurs First Team during pre-season, for whom he featured three times and scored twice.

    The powerful young striker ended the previous season of loan action at Wembley.

    Jon joined Millwall in February and was on the bench as the Lions gained promotion to the Championship against Swindon in May, 2010.

    He made 12 substitute appearances as Millwall pushed for promotion and scored a key equalising goal in injury time at his former loan club Yeovil in April, 2010.

    Jon earlier returned to Yeovil on loan at the start of the 2009-10 camapign having enjoyed a fruitful loan spell at Huish Park at the end of the 2008-09 season.

    This time he scored seven goals in 25 appearances in all competitions.

    Jon was awarded the Breakthrough Award by Spurs supporters at the end of the 2008-09 season.

    This came after Jon not only spearheaded the Under-18s in an impressive season and caught the eye in his first loan spell at Yeovil, but also made his full Spurs debut at White Hart Lane.

    He played the full 90 minutes of our UEFA Cup Round of 32 second leg draw with Shakhtar Donetsk and more than held his own having made his senior debut as a late substitute during the win over NEC Nijmegen earlier in the competition.

    It was enough to encourage Yeovil boss Terry Skiverton to take him, as well as Spurs team-mate Andros Townsend, on loan to the League One club for the latter part of the 2008-09 season.

    What a decision that proved to be, as Jon scored four crucial goals in his 10 league games, ultimately keeping Yeovil in the division.

    That tally added to the 16 goals he scored at Under-18 level for Spurs during 2008-09 season, as well as one at Reserve level.

    In March 2009, Jon earned his first international call-up for the England Under-19s in their friendly draw with the Czech Republic at Walsall FC.

    In the Autumn of that year, Jon represented England at the Under-20 World Cup in Egypt.

    The Enfield-born striker was brought up in Edmonton and attended Bishops Stortford School before joining our Academy full-time in July 2007.

    That's the point I was making in another post. We are supposed to be vastly superior to WBA who have just come up from the Fizzy pop league. Yet we get a draw. if we want to be a continual top 4 team then we have to play like one every game. We should have had someone to come on and do the business when Modric went off but we didn't. Playing Pav up front on his own was not the way to go, he is not that type of player.
