Now this is beginning to annoy me.

Admittedly, I've only seen this lad, Eze, for about 20 minutes last season before he went off injured but, in that time, he was man of the whole 90 minute match. He is exactly the sort of lad - along with Chair and Shodipo - that we should be giving game time, rather than signing the likes of Lua Lua and Wheeler. If we don't show these lads they'll get a chance, they'll leave and who can blame them?

We'll have the biggest squad in the Championship soon (if we haven't already) and be stacked with wingers and midfielders but still be short on quality in defence and attack.

Think long term, not season to season. Since Tony and Les's austerity, wage caps etc there actually is progress toward a more stable squad and we're doing better than anyone of us anticipated. It's not the time to sign for the sake of it. We've previously (mostly) agreed that it would be worth a few seasons in the Championship if it meant gaining promotion with a young, stable and proven team. I think we are making (slow) progress toward that goal.

Brace yourselves, it's deadline day, and Ollie says it will be 'mental'! Yep, we have lots of loans to organise to lighten our bloated and unbalanced squad.

We are the poor kid standing outside the sweet shop staring in through the window, 2p short of a sherbet dip. Unless he sells his trousers.

Agreed. I would settle for a solid team in the top half of the table making steady (even if slow) progress. We have to live within our means.
 
No need to bring in anyone IMO we are looking in a very good shape on the field

A few ironing outs and a reduction is the odd individual mistake those only come with game time and confidence

Clearly at the moment no chance this side is going down and held and matched Cardiff all over the pitch and they look by far the best team for years i have seen in the Championship ... NW has done it again

I would agree that our approach is improving but my central point was that blooding good youngsters, in OUR team, is an essential part of that development.
 
Looks like Matt Ingram is going out on loan to Northampton with an option to recall should Smithies or Lumley get injured.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has revealed he was mugged while attending a football match in Spain on Thursday.

Redknapp, 63, was in Madrid to see the Spanish capital's two main teams, Real and Atletico, play in the Copa del Rey.

He said two men fell to their knees in front of him and tugged at his trouser legs to distract him while four others took money and items from his pockets.

Redknapp said he did not report the incident to police.

He said he was at the match with his assistant manager Kevin Bond and had to borrow money from him to pay for a taxi back to his hotel and for dinner before returning to London.

The former Portsmouth and West Ham manager said: "I'm walking round the outside of the stadium, it's a fantastic atmosphere, there's all little stalls there selling sweets.

I just probably looked stupid or something

"I got some sweets, me and Kevin, and it was so packed. The next thing there's two guys on their knees in front of me and I felt someone pull my overcoat.

"I thought 'what are you doing?'. The next thing he's got my keys on the floor.

"I thought 'is he a blind man or someone having trouble walking properly?' What are they doing, these two blokes?

"I'm going 'let go of my trousers', pushing them away. While I'm doing that they're rifling my pockets, there were about six of them. And then they went.

"I thought 'what are they doing?' I went to put my hand in my pockets and realised what they'd done.

"They took everything. All my money, credit cards, everything really."

The Spurs manager said he did not believe the muggers knew who he was.

"I just probably looked stupid or something, and they thought 'here's one here, he's not Spanish, obviously and we're looking for a foreigner'."
