hmmmmm smells of tabloid garbage

s6 - I followed the smell and it led me here: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3561691/Tottenham-line-up-bi

hahaha well found petermorris --- it s so concrete they ve managed to write 2 lines about the proposed transfer

Good player. Would like to see him get a début soon.

Almost certainly just tabloid talk, but they can have him and Wickham for £15m...

Only silly money should tempt us to flog off our future. Keane obviously disagreed when mighty Huddersfield came calling for our (then) hottest strike prospect.

Spurs must really lik our kids !!! Keep your hands off !!
Looks like another one for the future.

Wickham, Carson, and now Whight & Lavery to get their chance !!

COYB!!

Story is more Sun garbage but regardless we should be looking to sign this guy on a professional contract before the vultures start circling.

Dont forget Murray, Smith, Brown & Eastman!
Its mad the amount of quality YA (youth academy) players coming through at the moment.

Why do we neeed the £500,000? It'll only be wasted on buying in another another load of duds. We need more class players, therefore let's sell some of the ones we already have!! Wasn't that the reasoning behind the idiot Keane's decision to sell Jason Rhodes? so he could buy Priskin? If the side is short of class, shouldn't we try to retain the class ones we already have?

I hear 'Arry is ME's best mate, is he having his trousers down? Sounds like it.

@HighgateBlue - Keane never wanted Rhodes to leave but don't let the facts get in the way of a good troll...

brian_a_mul............... Do you really think Eastman, Brown and Smith are our future? Smith can't even defend in the lower leagues, Eastman looks slow and cumbersome and can only hoof the ball, and Brown is totally lightweight as is Murray really. I may well have to eat my words, but seriously doubt it.

@KesgraveBlue: You are not alone with this evaluation.

Kesgraveblue - So smith cant defend at lower leagues hey? I assume you make this assumtion on one reported bad game. Didnt look out of place on the world stage in the world cup at all so I dont buy that he cant defend in lower leagues one bit. how about we all get behind our young players and support them instead of constantly putting them down and writing them off before time. Rant over.

Hollywood, you have half a point there but if you watched his games in the world cup he didn't actually do anything extraordinary. His passes were all either 5 yrds or just hoofed away and was out of position most of the time. His major contribution was to concede a penalty with some very naive defending.

I actually believe we need to look at youngsters but they have to be able to cope with this division. Look at Norwich. I for one had not herd of many of their tam before the season started and look at them now. Yes, the manager helped enormously (and ours didn't) but they reminded me of our side in 2000. Great team spirit, never say die attitude and good footballing side. Can't say that about us can you?

I have been a season ticket holder for over 20 years and to see the state of our club at the moment distresses me. I actually do not know what the answer is. Hopefully PJ can sort the mess we are in.

Rant over!

Hey KesgraveBlue, thanks for response!

As regards Murray, I think he has a very good future ahead of him. He is light at the moment but he will bulk up over the next few years. He has the ability so fingers crossed.
Smith, Eastman were the best things since slice pan at the start of the season. I think it was tough for them being thrown in at the deep end with an organised defense under Keane. They played mostly full back positions and reguraily got fleeced by pacy wingers. Both have good potential at Centre Back maybe not at Ipswich but I do think can can make good players in the future.

lavery can go tbh :L

Good player - but £500K with sell on would be a good deal.

With the strike force we are believed to be getting in during the closed season, is the kid likely to be getting his chance next year ? Still believe he should be given a pro contract, if only to stop a repeat performance on the contract situation.
