Jermain Defoe he's a ..............

After a stop start season things looked a bit worrying for Defoe over the summer, speculation that he was on the move, that him & 'Arry had fallen out with each other & that the players confidence had been shot to pieces.

@ The start of the new season things seemed to be going well, Defoe looked as sharp as ever against Hearts in the Europa league playoff game as well as in the early season games against Wolves & Liverpool.

Then came a bit of a bomb shell from fans idol VDV. After picking up another win against the scum VDV claimed that he only likes playing behind the striker and not on the wings........

'Arry had a choice to make, With Adebayor the main man up top it was between VDV & JD for the 'second' striker role.

Unfortunately for Defoe, 'Arry went with the Dutchman.... and well VDV true to his word plays better behind the big man up top! Banging in 3 goals in his last 2 games!

During the Newcastle game Defoe came on for a cameo appearance for VDV and scored a cracker! But it seems 'Arry can't leave out VDV and so what does the future hold for Jermain Defoe?

On target

After a full on Sunday roast and a pint or two of cider, the talk of the table went from the week ahead onto Tottenham's target for the coming season. With no real transfer activity happening and with 'Arry having both hands tied behind his back what would be a realistic target for the Lilly whites to achieve? 


It's been 20 years since we last lifted the FA Cup, a cup that put us on the map, a cup that every Spurs fan want's to see us lift again, The magic of 1 has all but vanished, 2001 & now 2011 pass without a cup @ the end of the season. After going out of both cups in the early rounds last season, the least we should expect this time around is a semi final appearance? 


Another season in Europe follows and although its not the Champions League it still offers us a chance to show the others on the continent what we are capable of. With the younger generation looking to break through it could prove a valuable lesson in finding out just where are youngsters are @ in terms of their development. Some fans feel that winning the Europa League would be the ideal achievement come May. 


What about the League i hear you cry? With Chelsea, United & City all looking @ getting to the final of the Champions League it could mean that the likes of us, Liverpool & Everton fighting it out for 4th spot or even better! One things for sure two of the 'Big' clubs will miss out again!


With fringe players unable to leave, and with a certain 'superstar' wanting to leave its left the summer looking a bit overcast, Chelsea for all their money seem intent of buying history like its up for auction. "Next lot up is from Tottenham Hotspur and a certain Luka Modric" opening bid starts @ £25 million.......


But on the flip side of this would the loss of Modric be a blessing? With VDV filling the void left? Last season we ended up having more playmakers on the pitch than needed, each looking to play the killer ball, which often left us red in the face and another game ending in 0-0. 


With all these if, buts & maybes anything is possible. 

An F.A Cup and a top 5 finish would be a fantastic season in my view.
