Poor players and overhyped

Spurs defense is the only thing which somewhat pales in comparison to Arsenal and Chelsea's defense but again with the way some of Chelsea's defenders are performing you could easily have a case there and on the other hand Spurs' defense is exceeding expectations.

Midfield and attack is clearly better than Chelsea especially when you take form into account but its close when you compare to Arsenal's.

I do rate Arsenal highly as they have a good all-round team but currently Spurs hold the edge imo and though there is not much to choose between Arsenal and Spurs' respective squads.

Chelsea is the third best team in London.

Yes they would, we are playing our CB as fullbacks, lol have you see Djourou playing RB lol.

Bale was as popular as Walcott in Southampton and moved around the same time as him....We got Walcott and they got Bale....and because Walcott was English he got more attention ..... they paid 10 million pounds for him...and he was already in Wales NT...
.
and Modric was the Player of the year in Croatia before he moved to Spurs....and they paid big for him equaling their record at that time....16.5 milllion pounds.....and plus he was a starter in NT and they did really good in Euros before his move

Defoe was West Ham's top scorer and Harry had bought him back in the day when he managed WestHam....he scored 41 goals in 105 before moving to Spurs the first time....Spurs paid 7mil back then in 04 for him....and paid 17.5 million pounds the second time.....

lol firstly i would like say i like the new quote system..redoranje papa is proud of you son

secondly, bale was bought to start as a left back for them, he was so shite he struggled to bench "assoue whatever" so they moved him up the field where they were short of good players and due to his one tricky ponytail he impressed 'arry the whealer dealer and stayed there from then on

as good as modric was in the croatian league do you really think he would be good enough for a team in the PL??? no offense to that league(or whoever supports a team in that league) but thats like the sunday league

defoe was just one of "those" players with lots of potential but nothing..if you know what i mean...he is still nothing but my point is harry is having to work with these and he does a pretty damn good job

this isnt the same as say Arsenal or Chelsea(i am not going to mention chelsea because its clear as day what kind of players they spent on)

But Arsenal:

Chamack was league 1s best player since benzema left(not that he is any useful anymore lol)

Vermealen was bought from ajax after being their best player as a defender

Nasri was also one of the best in the league 1 before arsenal signed him

rosicky was dortmunds best player and one of the best players in the league along with Hleb before Arsenal got him and Hleb

Hnery was also pretty damn good before he joined Arsenal

Now lets look at Tottenham

scott parker, very important for west ham but not very good

VDV, meh, garage sale ftw

Ade played with the U16 in city

Pav...their only good transferred player

see, they have an average squad, but they are still doing what most top teams havent been able to....get the results

But boy do they OVERPAY for average players

Chamackh was NEVER the best player in Ligue1, NEVER lol

when you say that your whole argument goes down the drain....

who was better than him??

you gotta be kidding me man ?

Chamakh wasn't even the best player at Bordeaux nevermind ligue 1

Huntelaar and suarez were both better than Vermaelen at ajax. No one knew who vermaelen was untill we signed them

Nasri wasn't was the best player at ligue 1, the fact Marseille rejected 20m bid for ben arfa but let nasri go for 13m says it all.

Hleb was playing for stuttgart ffs, no one even knew who he was. Rosicky was highly rated because of WC 2006

uh...Gourcuff, Lisandro, Hazard, Niang back in the days? Even Lloris and mandanda were better performers than he was.

halamadrid2 strikes again, stop sounding so certain of things you dont even know.

calling Vdv "meh" is damn straight laughable when he was our best AM before leaving

Adebayor was playing for U16 because of his row with mancini. he playd for madrid , played for Arsenal. How was he an average signing ?

VDV was signed from madrid, u cant be a bad signing at all.

you really think Scott was good enough for a top team like Man U etc??

all the players Arsenal signed were being followed by most top teams, Parker was being followed by the Fulhams of PL ffs

We was all here when Arsenal signed Verm.

Like 95% of the forum was like who is this nobody? Why dont Wenger get a actual defender instead of random euro trash.

What an amazing team.


A big at all who said Bale is bad.

I have accepted that they are running away with 3rd, leaving it a dogfight between us, Arsenal and Chavs for 4th.


Things will get bumpy for them next yr thought with Ade's wage demands and fee, Modric wanting a raise and Harry leaving.

I had absolutely no idea who Verm was when he signed him lol. Props to Wenger for spotting talent like that. I even laughed at all the gunner I know and even they only had youtube videos of him lol.

i was kdding with Ade lol, of course he played for us, which makes him the best player in the world

moving on.... VDV seriosuly?? he was shite with us, never liked him

I remember VDV being a nominee for the Ballon D'or award when he was at Real Madrid......

Admittedly it was probably because of his days at Hamburger SV lol.

VDV was decent with Madrid and he's been great with Tottenham. Good transfer and he's been one of the most important players for Tottenham, not as important as Modric, of course.

I'll say wait and see but in the famous words of...(english jewel? I'm not sure) "the table doesn't lie".

But I'm happy with where Tottenham is and they have a good enough squad this year to totally maintain that position fairly well.

Come on you spurs!

that's BS, wasnt Scott Parker voted best player in England? popularity contests mean nothing. If you were following the league you would know that he was never the best player. Fans voted, Pundits never did, Lisandro was the best player in the league that year. And Chamack still wasnt better than Gourcuff in his own team.

Vermealen was their best CB wasnt he and nah maybe only hunteelaar was better but i think he was the best in that team

lol Nasri was probably one of the best talents in Marseille along with Ribery, ben arfa was a nobody until they left

stuttgart were good back in them days
