That's a good 'prettiest X1'! LOL.

You think Gareth is overrated? Not me! When he was in top form he was outpacing everyone up the left flank and sending in the most accurate crosses while on the run! Not many can do that. True, he's a little green still, and a little rough around the edges, but he'll improve, and then watch out! And he hasn't been the same since he got injured. He needs a good rest. Spurs had such a run in both league and CL, and they are not as used to it as Man Utd and others. They've been so cripped with injuries, too. Unlucky. :(

And I hope Roma stays. He's worth getting the chance, IMO. :)

grrr you too. roma's agent is off to london and yes he's staying. he's been offered an extension at the same time as gareth&luka, he just refused to sign it for some time.
and yes. your icon consists of overrated people, lol :PPPPP at least harry's started to realize vdv is not worth sacrificing a striker...but then he prefers vdv/crouchuso anyway for important matches, because this worked for their first few months in the epl.
i don't think the injuries have been that much of a problem, just fucking play those that are currently best, not your faves regardless of whether they're in a good form. and get more defenders who aren't injury-prone, so that they didn't have to play when injured and get injury-prone themselves.

YES!!! Harry seems to love keeping chronically injured players like Jonathan Woodgate and (God help me) Ledley King (because I love Ledley) but sometimes you just have to let them go for the sake of the team. Especially now that a team can field only 25 players. (Is it 25 or 23?) He also needs to get rid of Crouchy and let Roma start and play all the time (and Niko too) and get a new striker. Van der Vaart is hot and cold, but he is a good player and has the type of movement that fits the Spurs style. However, he could be replaced with a younger, more fit player. XDD

(I need to make some NEW Spurs icons! :P)

heh i don't mind them tbh, i think one of them can stay. but the few that are good and not injury-prone shouldn't have to play when not fit.
a new striker only when harry leaves, kthx. roma/jd is fine for now. knowing harry, getting a new striker will 100% mean roma playing less.
i'm happy to have europa league, btw. because of this. i wish niko stayed, because this will definitely mean playing time for him. but i'm afraid he won't -___________-
vdv is good but he's always been a fucking midfielder, right? so it should be midfielders worrying about competition, not strikers! someone put it this way, harry thinks vdv is the most high level player he's ever worked with. seems like he thinks so indeed, but this shouldn't mean playing him whenever he's at least half-ok. it's been too much about trying to make a formation that accomodates more good players.
that said, i really hope that now that he'll have a proper preseason with the team, he builds good interaction with roma♥ you know i'd not be here complaining if harry had played 4-4-1-1 with vdv/roma all season ;D

and i think there's no limit but only 17 of them can be over 21 (there can be 25 total but then you can always add more bbs), so there has to be a youngster at least on the bench in every match. gareth still counted this season but i think he won't at least *next year*. maybe even next season.
eww hate hate hate the form crouchy.
