dananders, you are missing the point. We don't know. Neither does Cascarino. But how can you possibly argue that signing a 22/31 striker from the top div in Argentina will not improve their threat? You can't can you. He might, he might not. But it gives them a better chance than signing no-one doesn't it.

Oh, and Wigan will stay up.

You might think that dananders, but you can hardly guarantee it really, can you?
Spurs conceded eight goals less than Everton last season, had the best home defensive record in the League for the second successive year, and despite the constant drone about Everton's injuries, which even though fair comment is now done to death, Spurs also played the vast majority of their matches without one or both of their two first-choice centre-backs. FWIW, I like Everton, and I hope they do well next season. |

spurs have an unbelievable defensive record under him at home (conceded more than 1 goal only once in 34 games). It would have been twice if Donovan hadn't shown the finishing ability of Stephen Hawking last February  How do you think your boys will do this season? It's a random bet, but I'd love a bookie to price up whether yose will get more points in the first or second half of the season. |

Read an interesting piece by Tim Vickery about Boselli circa a month ago.
He painted a picture of him as some sort of Argentinian Lineker, contributing nothing other than goals and very much relying on him getting excellent service. I haven't seen him play, so will wait to form my own opinion, but I rate Vickery as a fairly informed pundit, so it's a starting point. I don't know what to make of Wigan. I want to like them, I really do. I like McCarthy. I like Moses. I like Rodallega. I like N'Zogbia (well, on the pitch, at least). But there are concerns. Bramble and Scharner gone. Alcaraz looks decent but didn't exactly make convincing noises about his desire to be here. Thomas (who is 54 imo) and Diame did well but can I trust them to run a midfield all season with little backup? I don't know. Hope they do well and they are realistically competing to stay out of one and a half relegation places, so they must have a chance. |

good start to the season for everton and a push for top 4 definitely on the cards. ide be very confident thell finish above liverpool

Oh, and I like Figueroa too.
But I don't like Caldwell and I'm baffled as to who they will have at right back for the whole season. Boyce? Surely not? |

I thought Wigan were vulnerable last season. I see no reason for them to regress this time. Anyway, that's away from the point richard was making.

max, you fancy us for a slow start and then picking up after xmas, don't you ? interested to know why. it is champions league distractions ? really don't wanna see us leaving loads of players before those games. not sure it'll much difference before we go to the nou camp.
 we need to try and consolidate top 4 again which i'm confident we can. plenty of scope for improvement in a pretty youthful side. really we need to hit the ground running. extremely friendly fixtures until november. |

I had Spurs the other way round tbh. Good start and weak finish.

I must admit I've not looked at your fixtures, so my post was more of an observation than based on hard evidence.
If I had to put my £2 on it (depending on the prices, of course), I'd expect you to do better after Christmas. If you lost your Champions League play-off, it would be a massive setback (though I wouldn't expect you to struggle like we did in 2005 cos you're a much better side than we were). And if you have six group games, I would expect them to be a distraction. I don't think Redknapp would make changes cos of Europe, but nevertheless it's still a major thing to consider. |

Oh, yes, Stam. Forgot about him.

and we won't be playing top notch opposition like you. all that trawling around obscure parts of europe over the last 4 years was worth something. also our 2nd XI if not the best in the league certainly in the top 2.
