    From the days of andy Robinson, jumping ship, lee trundle leaving for the bright lights of Bristol, darren pratley forcing a move to bolton, dorus de vries's laughable move to wolves, even leons move to sheffield utd and this years clutch of players going,,, can only think of two players who still have anything resembling acareer left....joe allen, and possibly ben davies.......have I missed anyone?

    Yep rickets left in 2006 and robinson 2008, so I guess no one else has made the grade since leaving

    Jordi Gomez still has a Prem career (we only loaned him though).

    Andy Melville.

    Dean Saunders.

    Chris Coleman.

    Andy Legg.

    Jason Bowen....all went on to play at a higher level than we were at the time.

    Terry Phelan.

    What's the deal with Ben? Is he injured or just struggling on their depth chart.

    Don't know. He's starting their Europa games at the mo. Only made 1 sub appearance for Spurs (against Liverpool).
    Perhaps they are easing him in gentle?

    In 4 starts and 1 sub his passing accuracy has been 81% compared to the Spurs' team average of 83%, had a terrible game last time out against Partizan Belgrade (I watched it).
    They were attacking down his side a lot and he was a little ragged, he made 6 clearances (some of them desperate hacks away) and 5 tackles (Spurs made 31 tackles altogether)....the worst stat from that game was that his passing was down at 69%.
    The stats don't surprise me as, like I said, he was ragged

    Needs to put in a good shift or 2 and hope Rose has a bad game soon.

    Oh yeah, didn't read it properly, sorry.

    I suppose Michu going to Napoli could be considered a step up if he can stay fit and make the move permanent.

    Vorm might get in at Spurs if they sell Lloris next summer.

    Martinez left us and his managerial career has blossomed ever since.

    Oh hang on ...
