No easy teams in the last 16 of the tournament IMO. But I'm
please with AC Milan against Spurs, and I'm rooting for Milan to go
through the tie. That should bring Spurs back on earth, if not they
really think they elite liao.
I don't know what made you say that, but I agree with you that
Spurs are still slightly short in quality compared to the real
elites. Having said that, they are not too far from that level too.
They have good players filling the key positions in the team
(Dawson, King, Modric, Bale, and signing of VDV is brilliant). I
wouldn't call them world class but they are good enough for this
team. A good season for Tottenham would be a decent run in the
champions league and more importantly to achieve consistent results
in the league and solify their position in the top 4. Being able to
match the big guns is good, but winning games against the Stokes
and Wigans week in week out is more important. I agree with the
chairman that they do not need to sign players in January. They
could do with a loan signing as backup to the backline and offload
Bentley and Keane at the right price. Having Defoe, Pavlyuchenko
and Crouch to fill 2 forward roles is good enough, even though none
are scoring regularly this season.
