Guest howyousawtheworld Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Gonna enjoy MOTD tonight!! Regardless, excellent wins for Stoke and Norwich today. Much needed win for Newcastle as well although Newcastle and Fulham are two sides that could well have a change of manager sometime in the next few months. Fulham, in particular, could do well with someone other than Martin Jol as their manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham, in particular, could do well with someone other than Martin Jol as their manager. Generally speaking, we've been over the moon with him until today. He's signed exactly the players we needed within budget and found a gem in Pajtim Kasami, who was our best player on the pitch the first two matches. Problem is, he didn't start today. I get that everyone wanted to see Berbatov and Bent gel, and that Ruiz is more experienced (if less effective) on the wing, but it clearly wasn't working. Since Berbatov refuses to chase the ball and Bent was nonexistent, we were basically at 10 men, and yet Jol refused to sub anyone. Still, no reason to call for his head, yet.

He did well in his first season but since last season I've really not thought much about him. He seems to have a tendency to really drop the ball and fails to move on from encouraging starts at the clubs he manages until it gets to a point of regression. He's got a nice little team at Fulham though with some excellent experience there. Good job getting Scott Parker though who let's not forget was so outstanding for Tottenham in 2011-2012!

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Wow what a result! Just before the start of the match I looked at our bench and was really worried at how inexperienced it was compared to theirs. Thought come the last half hour of the match they would ascend through the gears with a few subs up against our subs. Didn't work out that way thankfully but just a keen reminder that we need to add to the squad. Very hard fought game with a few injuries in there. Fantastic day for Liverpool though. Great work by the team and the manager in building a fantastic spirit and fight there but also a bit of quality as well. And arriving just in time for the anniversary of Bill Shankly's 100th birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busybeeburns Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Gareth Bale joins Real Madrid from Spurs in £85m world record deal Gareth Bale joins Real Madrid from Spurs in £85m world record deal Real Madrid have broken the world transfer record to sign Tottenham forward Gareth Bale. The Wales star has agreed a £300,000 per week, six-year deal after sealing an £85.3m (100m euros) move which eclipses the £80m Real paid Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009. "I have had six very happy years at Tottenham but it's the right time to say goodbye," said 24-year-old Bale. "We've had some special times together and I've loved every minute of it." Bale will have a medical and then be presented to the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu at 12:00 BST on Monday before speaking at a media conference. He added: "I am not sure there is ever a good time to leave a club where I felt settled and was playing the best football of my career to date. I know many players talk of their desire to join the club of their boyhood dreams, but I can honestly say, this is my dream come true. Tottenham will always be in my heart and I'm sure this season will be a successful one for them. I am now looking forward to the next exciting chapter in my life, playing football for Real Madrid." Bale joined Spurs as a left-back for £10m from Southampton in 2007 and scored 26 goals last season as he was named both the Professional Footballers' Association's and Football Writers' player of the year. His representatives told Spurs at the end of July that he wanted to speak to the Spanish giants. Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti's claim at the start of August that they were "in talks to find a solution" to the transfer angered Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas, but the clubs have now reached a settlement. After his side's 1-0 loss to Arsenal, Villas-Boas said: "Bale is a wonderful player. He is going to join Real Madrid so we wish him all the best. He left us with some great memories from last season." Bale, who becomes Real Madrid's fifth signing of the summer, paid tribute to both Southampton and Tottenham for developing his career. He said: "I am well aware I would not be at the level I am today were it not for firstly Southampton and then Spurs standing by me during some of the tougher times and affording me the environment and support they have. I would like to thank everyone at the club; the chairman, board, staff, coaches and players, and, most of all, the fantastic fans who I hope will understand this amazing career opportunity." Spurs have been busy in this transfer window, signing seven players for a total outlay approaching £105m. Brazil midfielder Paulinho has arrived from Corinthians for around £17m; forward Roberto Soldado has signed from Valencia for £26m, and Roma playmaker Erik Lamela has joined for a reported £25.7m. Their other summer arrivals are Nacer Chadli from FC Twente for £7m, Etienne Capoue for £9m from Toulouse, Romania centre-back Vlad Chiriches from Steaua Bucharest for £8.5m, and Ajax's 21-year-old Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen for £11.5m. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy admitted he did not expect to have to plan for the season without Bale. "Gareth was a player we had absolutely no intention of selling as we look to build for the future," said Levy. He is a player whose career we have fostered and developed and he was only a year into his new four-year contract. Such has been the attention from Real Madrid, and so great is Gareth's desire to join them, we have taken the view that the player will not be sufficiently committed to our campaign in the current season. We have, therefore, with great reluctance, agreed to this sale and do so in the knowledge that we have an exceptionally strong squad to which we have added no fewer than seven top internationals. More importantly, we have an immense team spirit and a dressing room that is hungry for success." Bale's sale could now trigger a series of deals involving other Premier League clubs before the transfer window closes at 23:00 BST on Monday. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23538218 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
