Got to say that I thought he would be an excellent squad player to have and a big improvement on Palacios but no idea how integral he would become so quickly.
Whilst I can't say that I realised how good he was til he came to Spurs I definitely used to hate watching him play against us - pain in the backside. I always used to think that he had a knack for niggly little fouls that would break up our flow but rarely be enough to get a card. Of course he doesn't get up to that sort of thing now he's a Spurs player...
Comment above re us buying the bargains of the year three years in a row: spot on. If you look at the hit/miss rate of Spurs transfers over the last few years you'll see how much better the ratio has been with Harry.
Now why didn't we sign that Joe Cole?
