This is part two of the on going series of four from the Spurs Roundtable of Willie Gannon, Christopher Potter, David Jacobs and Eric Gomez.
Author of this piece: David Jacobs.
In the Juan-days, the weekly team sheet hardly changed; not even Jermain Defoe got the matches that he should’ve had. This left Keane and "Golden Boy" Berbatov to play every time. Ramos didn’t trust the younger players like John Bostock or Obeka who had just come up from the academy.
Maybe Ramos thought that placing them in the squad was a risk to a team already fighting relegation, or he wanted to make the players work for their place.
The £1million question is now—“How can you make the players work for their place on the squad if you don’t give them a chance to play?”
Now, Ramos has departed and a top-draw replacement has arrived fresh from the city of Portsmouth, which he has received freedom from.
His name is Harry Redknapp.
Tottenham is starting to pick up the pace now with their improved mentality and quantity of possession. Redknapp has demonstrated the reason why he is far different from Juande Ramos.
Harry (or Arry as he’s more affectionately known), gives the younger and second string players a chance to show him and everyone else watching how good they are and how much better they can be. This obviously means more choice on who to choose as the starting eleven.
January is now approaching and with that month comes the mid-season transfer window. It is a chance to grab last-minute players to paper over cracks in the squad.
Who should Spurs target?
Who are they targeting?
And are there any players who should go?
