please tell me how Spurs will be challenging Man Utd I think your going a tad over board, i like Spurs i like Jol, but you aint in the same league to compete with Utd.

Firstly Utd are going to be making a further 35 Million per year for having 70000 + fans at each home game, the highest wage you pay at Spurs is 50k a week Utd can happily pay three or four players 100k+ a year.

Spurs are going through a good period at the moment but they will not be on the level of Man Utd Chelski Liverpool or Arsenal for a long long long time if ever.

Man Utd would offer Carrick a chance of silver ware every year, can Tottenham offer that?? No they cant.

They will only challenge if they get there own Abrabovic!!

I think you'll find 50k a week is more than 100k a year.






I know I know a pathetic cheapshot.

We're challenging Arsenal already this season, and be past them if Henry leaves. Don't think we're far off Liverpool either, as I said our squad is young, and will be maturer next season with hopefully a few good additions.

Ive heard Lennon is wanted by Liverpool and obviously Carrick??
Read this as I was submitting. Keeping players is obviously crucial, especially the two you mentioned, both have improved and added to their play considerably this season, Lennon looks to be turning into something special, especially if he works on his finishing. As I said, squadwise we are on par with Liverpool IMO except for Gerrard of course, I'd be gutted if Lennon Carrick would even consider going there.

anyway I'm off to try and do some work before the end of the day.
