Just out of interest who would make it into your Tottenham 5-a-side squad and why? Mine would be: Cudicini King Modric Lennon VDV Cudicini: Not the tallest keeper and can get down low to save the bottom corner shots King: Not much running around and damage to the knees so should be able to boss any striker in the Premiership Modric: can get round any player with great ball control skills and set up players Lennon: pure speed and doesn't have to cross the ball so should be a gem of a player VDV: Great tricks and skill and also strong on the ball. Can also shoot from anywhere. Subs: Friedel Parker Defoe Gallas Other teams 5-a-side teams welcome
I think that the 5-a-side game would be too much for King, to be honest. You're constantly on the move and have to turn quickly and frequently, which would be terrible for his knee. I'd go with Gomes, Kaboul, Sandro, Modric and Adebayor. Gomes is an excellent shot-stopper and his inability to deal with crosses or organise his back line wouldn't be relevant. Kaboul's a good defender with a great engine and he's mobile. Sandro's another player with great drive and a good all round game. Modric is superb in close, tight spaces and can pick out a pass regardless of what's going on around him. Adebayor is good on the ball, quick and is a very calm finisher.
Cudicini...welded to his line Walker...quick Modric and VdV, two low centre of gravity players in the middle Ade...forget the rest, they can't hit a full size goal!
