		<description>So being a big club is all about how much players are payed is it, what a wally you are, being a big club is about being successful, winning meaningful trophies, (not the carling cup) playing in europes elite competition, (not the UEFA cup), not a little club like spurs who have won only 2, yes 2 league championships in their entire history, lol how pathetic is that, just think in 3 years time it will be 50 years since you last won the championship, how embarrasing! So yet again its easy so say that spurs are NOT a big club, will NEVER be a big club and will ALWAYS be in the shadows of their illustrious neighbours. Has the deadline for signings passed, you  keep going about how the gap has closed, well just wait and see next season, as usual pre season is your best time for talking, because as soon as the season starts you melt away as usual, why should next season be any different? When its first 11 v first 11 you cabt get anywhere near us, as the facts show, so keep dreaming you .

		<description>Gunnersaurus.....
Why reply to this guy...waste of space. He should just concentrate on his team and why everyone seems to want to leave. It's like there is a civil war and everyone wants to escape and are afraid for their lives. A top 4 team-that has no respected captain and money grabbers. Think about why they and others have already broken contracts to get out of there. Can't you see your 'great' team have problems back stage!!!</description>

		<description>Guys we all know 61 and Gunnersaurus are getting more and more insecured as years go by.  We all understand why they are very worrying as Spurs squad is ever improving and is getting better with more quality signings.  They have nothing to look forward to except to talk about the past glories cause they know that they have no chance and unable to close the gap with the top 2.  If any of the non top 4 EPL team were to break into top 4, the likely casualty is either Liverpool or Arsenal or both.....obviously they will be worried after so many years dominating the top 4.  Is very pitful of them to live in fear as their behaviour shown that they are scared to admit the fact that Gunner is not progressing but Spurs is.  Lets all feel sorry for them......Amen</description>

		<description>I'm sure Ramos will be flexible in his willingness to employ both a 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 w/ varied personnel, but suspect the former is better.  W/ license to roam, GDS seems best suited for the left wing as the boy's ability to take on players and whip it in from the left is ideal.  Bentley/Lennon on the right and Modric attacking/left side of the Middle will work.  Of course, this highly offensive midfield requires a holding player, the quality of which we currently lack...</description>

		<description>Err thanks 61 never again for that marvellous piece of writing. Nothing of note to write on your own forums today or for the last three years I imagine. 

Anyway I didn't come here to talk down to the likes of you. If I wanted to do that I would have become a special needs teacher or worse still a steward at the Emirates.

What I did want to come on here to say is that what people fail to point out is that GDS is a left sided player with a left foot. At last - its taken about 5 managers to work out that this will balance the side out. We have bought potential but at £4.7 million thats nothing in today's currency (as much as it pains me to say so). 

A balanced side with decent coaching can work wonders. Last season there were too many "oddballs" in the side with right footed left backs and so on but at last it looks like we can put out a side where everyone should be under no illusion as to know what they have to do. 

Expect a centre back and defensive central midfielder to follow but with the right mentality (and lets face it BMJ didn't really do well on this front) a move up the table and some more decent cup runs should be possible. The signings of Hutton and Woodgate in the winter will start to flourish in the new season too.

And to any rogue Woolwich Wanderer on this site, my optimism doesn't mean a top four spot as your paranoia always seems to think, but the foundtions to do so in the next two or three seasons. 

With the "credit crunch" kicking in and clubs debts being under greater scrutiny from the likes of UEFA and Fifa, Spurs are still the best placed club to take advntage of any slip ups. More so with Ramos at the helm.
