    Why don't you just play Kane in goal? He has plenty of experience there from his time in the EL.

    This is a team Ossie himself would be proud of.

    I hope Alderweireld and King are very fit, cause they are going to be run off their feet!

    My 4-4-1-1 would be

    Walker King Dawson Beni
    Lennon Modric Dembele Bale
    VDV
    Kane

    Tempting to go with Berbatov and Klinsmann. A number of players were better than Lennon as RM, but none, I think, in this formation.

    You know for someone who lives in a country where the vast majority of sports are played with the hands, you really don't like goalkeepers <laugh>

    He's got nearly 200 caps worth of USA goalkeepers to chose from, too.

    Ay yes, good old Casey. I never liked him - iffy positioning and simply wasn't physically strong enough to cope with the type of brutes that many PL clubs liked (and still like - cf. West Ham) to play up front. Also didn't command his box well enough. The 2 seasons where he was 1st choice were dismally bad. I was overjoyed when Robbo arrived a year later.

    Keller was ok, for me, but we've definitely had far better keepers. A few worse too, though.
    I expect Robinson to get his usual warm welcome if he's part of Burnley's match squad when they visit WHL.

    Robinson visited our training ground during the summer. Apparently he was in the area visiting old friends and popped in.

    I hope those who met him sang "You're Spurs and you know you are".

    Sh*t forgot about him. I was going to put Fulop but given what happened that would have been out of order.

    Can my team be improved further?

    I was waiting for someone to do this. In all honesty if I were to sit and think about my 'worst ever Spurs PL XI' I think I'd be working on it for hours - there are so many to choose from! :(

    It took me a while but I think this team is well up there. Those 2 strikers in particular. Dark days

    I think of you did a worst value for money thread then postiga rebrov and bent would all be pushing for a starting spot but on pure ****ness booth and Rory Allen will take some beating.

    Unless you include Doherty as a striker.....

    Don't you knock our Ginger Pele! For a period, he was the best in Europe at scoring with his face...

    Given that it's close season and there is no football on if you are bored just go on Wikipedia and look at the Spurs squads from the start of the premier league era. There are some abysmal players in there.
    You could spend ages choosing a worst team as you pointed out CK!
    Makes you appreciate our squad now even more!

    For scoring against the goons alone he can't make the team!
