All 3 of those would be excellent deals too. £8.5 for 3 potentially very good players would be worthy of a pay rise for sure!

Any one "in the know" have any news on Uvini?

Uvini is in the preliminary Olympic squad, so if being in the final squad is a prerequisite for his signing we'll have to wait a few weeks. As his trial is up at the end of April, which is when the draw is made, I presume that's close to when the squads are announced.
 
Kuyt - No, his main attribute is running around alot, and at 31 that won't last, maybe thats why he's on the bench, lets be honest, he has little else, he'd be quite **** without his energy level. No better than the not very good options we have ourselves imo. Likes a good clap for chasing a lost cause that was going out anyway, not my kind of forward player at all. Far too ugly aswell.

The Sth American scout will need to get more than 1 out of 5 of those names above IN a Spurs shirt, before I sanction any pay rise. :)
 
I also thought that someone ought to pay tribute to Sir Tom Finney, who is 90 today.

There will be few who can remember him playing, but, by all accounts, he is the greatest ever English player.

He didn't make his debut until he was 23 due to WWII otherwise he would probably have been England's highest ever goalscorer. He could dribble past players as if the ball was tied to his foot in an era when thje full back could legitimately try to hack chunks from him in attempting to stop. He glided past players like Messi, but with a medicine ball at his feet rather than the modern beach balls and on pitches fit for cows.

Happy Birthday

Well said <applause>
 
He is ugly, for sure, ya. Unlike Defoe, he'd have to settle for the Sherbet Dib-Dab or the Curlywurly, not both.

But what is he? He's not a striker, nor a winger or a midfielder. He has done well v United but I'm not sure why. Our defenders obviously didn't know what he is either.

An inside, wide, false trequartista, I would have thought
 
Grand has been over here, posted on a few threads recently then disappeared, oddly just before his ol mate Spurcat started posting here.

What a pathetic reason to ban though, you asked them to post here...aswell as Ja, not move away entirely, whats so wrong about that? the Internet is about freedom of choice I thought.

The decision smacks of "their my friends and you've got no right to speak to them". <doh>
 
I have no problem with people promoting ja on here.
It makes people appreciate this place more.

It's the Ja users that can't read my insights in to Spurs that I feel sorry for :(
 
Spurcat also got banned from Ja it seems <doh>

Nah it really isn't. The guy has complained about umpteen posters including squid and made 700 comments of which most seemed IMO to be exalting the merits of another site.

You couldn't make it up. The more sensible users like Spurcat and (to a lesser extent :p) me get banned from there, the more it's going to become a parody of itself, degenerating into nonsense that would even make Michigan blush.
 
I will defend the Admins on this one, Spurcat got banned for what many WUMs get banned for. Insulting posters and complaining left right and centre.

Its a shame though because he will be missed, just didnt do himself any favours.
