carew wouldnt start at spurs, who you kidding???

keane has been useless since joining liverpool?
pavlyuchenko, has he scored a goal yet?
crouch, only useful in the last 10 minutes of games when balls are thrown forward in hast!

carew is a lot more dangerous than that when fit!

i would love keane at the villa, he’s a proven goal scorer. good link up player, would work well with milner, downing, young and gabby.
don’t get me wrong, i’m a massive fan of carew and when he’s on song, he is unplayable (look at the villa – bolton game this season), the only problem is he puts these performances in once every ten games.

‘Gio is perfectly good cover for Defoe’ ?????? Excuse me? Why do people rate Gio so highly? He is completely unproven and doesn’t even so signs that he will make it. Even when he went down a division on loan, he didn’t do enough to suggest we should play him.

I really cannot see how we at spurs would benefit from this transfer what is this musical chairs? No much better we let them keep theirs and we keep ours. We’re a right fickle bunch us spurs Robbie is our man ok so he went walkabout to liverfool he’s back now let’s move on. A player like Robbie brings much to the table passion, leadership, experience, and a crappy goal celebration. What better game for Robbie to show Rafa and the rest of the doubters, if he was to give it to Liverpool on Sunday all those detractors would be choking on pie of the humble variety, if he plays on Sunday you will see how much Robbie is still our man. Oh ye of little faith Harry has bought us out of the wilderness and still we cry for bread. For the first time in a long time we look like we can do the unthinkable and break into the top four ok when Jol was in charge we missed out on the last day but remember this at the time we weren’t in Europe and we had been knocked out of both domestic cups early doors and as much as I loved Martin Jol I really felt he could only have taken us so far this man we have in Harry can do job but we have to trust him he didn’t re sign Robbie on a whim come on get behind your team and let’s do those scousers. And you’ll never work sign on sign on. Lillywhitetillidie

I don’t think Spurs need either of them and can’t see how Carew could get a game at White Hart Lane. Keane has not really recovered from going to Liverpool either on the pitch or in the eyes of the fans who thought he was disloyal. Gio is perfectly good cover for Defoe if Keane goes or as fourth striker if Pav goes.
Centre midfield is the weakest spot if Spurs are buying but I think perhaps they are more likely to be selling a benchwarmer or two.

Kenwyne Jones…pace and athleticism….hhmmm…you mean fast and clumsy….always looks like he is about to fall over. Darren Beckford from Leeds for a bargain 2m….great cover for Defoe. We don’t need another ‘big man’ , we need a poacher ,just like Lineker,ole solkjer or van nist’roy. Defoes finishing has improved grealy but he is still very static at times,waiting for the ball to come to him, especially when we are not leading. I remember Lineker used to say that his mantra was ‘attack the space’, something Defoe does not do.If Defoe had more movement he would have another 10 goals this season.

Let’s face it Keane is now over-the-hill. Yes he was great before he joined Liverpool, but that has gone now. Why Villa would want to sign him is beyond me. Dunne is Irish – perhaps he is a mate and recommended him. Carew has scored some good goals, and when fit and on form looked good – but he is 30. The point of trying to qualify for Champs league is that you also have a good squad to actually compete in it a year later. Spurs should look at players approaching their prime.

obviously not going to happen
Doubt we’d be interested in keane in the first place (he’s been poor since he’s moved to Liverpool) and we wouldn’t sell Carew especially since the fans love him.
Also, Spurs make no sense if they do buy him as they’ve already got Crouch and Pavlyuchenko.
More likely a player like Chamakh moving to Spurs and I’d want a better striker than Keane as a villa fan if we are to get a striker or at least a good deal like beckford

Perhaps Ledley wants some company with him in the swimming pool.

Ha ha. These online translators are rubbish! Are you Norwegian? I didn’t expect to blog with a Norwegian Spurs fan! I did not mean to make a Freudian slip with Carew and ‘nobody’….! Hearing that Carew hardly trains is enough to put Harry right off. We would sign him so that he can hardly train with King and Woodgate – perhaps never train…
