We've not been playing him on the right wing, we have no need for that, he is a forward and we use him as such.
He's actually been good. He scored two on his debut, and then a third a game or two later, but he picked up an injury and didnt play for the rest of the season. However he's really worked on his fitness this summer and he trimmed down a stone or two, and he's looking sharp so far. Shame he got sent off against Chelsea really, that'll stump his progress. He looks dangerous on the ball, and he likes his skills, which White Hart Lane appreciates every week. We've needed someone like him since Ginola really. Fingers crossed he'll start socring again and then hopefully he'll be off and running.

If he's not played on the wing, why compare him to Ginola who is a winger? Surely you've needed someone like him since Klinsmann. He will be an option wide left with Defoe through the middle I am sure.
Sorry Fenderek! He's a Polish warrior, I know!

...from the point of view of entertainment and flair, we have needed someone with a bit of cheek and the tendency for a back heal or two...

Yeh.
Shame when that happens lol.

I do apologise, GreatKingSam, for the continued jokes at the expense of Spurs but as a Chelsea (terrace retired, now in armchair) supporter, I just HAVE to do it! LOL
No mate, no probs. I do like some banter, however, one day soon, we'll run out of class British lower league players to buy, and we'll have to start buying them frmo the Premiership too. But looks like we've already started with Jenas...
...maybe Shaun-Wright next (-:
He looked proper dangerous on Saturday. The touch to take him round Stephen Kelly to set-up Duff's inspired strike was absolute class, and when he dragged the ball round Davids and just laid it off was pure cheek. But, agaist eleven men, and I hate to say it, Chelsea weren't all threatening. You need more than shitty Drogba up-front, and gotta stop passing the ball across the back four. With the talent you got, I wouldn't be content with that. But, Chelsea for the League, I hate to say it.

It'll be interesting to see Raziak. My initial thought was that he was a hastily bought stop-gap to fill in for 3 games whilst Mido's out.
But a big man is what we needed.
My preferred midfield would still be Reid, Davids, Carrick and Routledge, although Tainio seems to be bedding in nicely in Routledge's absence.

Rasiak played pretty well in his first agme, didn't he? Donno about the second one, missed monday paper (hangover :) )
It's tough for a Polish player (no offence) to come from the Championship (no offence) and Derby (no offence) and try and cut it straight away next to Defoe, or Keane. But he's trying to do his job.
Against Liverpool he hit the bar, which was unlucky, and he scored a fucking good header, but it's a shame the lino was a little flag happy that day. Against Villa he was a touch quieter, then again so were Spurs in general, but he was always up and headnig knock-ons and lay offs, it's just a shame Defoe isn't as used to this. However, it still looks like selling Kanouté was a bad move.
At the end of the day... Robbie Keane looks the liveliest. Nothing against Defoe, just Robbie Keane seems to excite me more. His finish against Villa was absolute top drawer, and he always wants the ball and pays attention to the midfield. Defoe always just wants the ball and wants to score, which isn't bad, but doesnt always benefit the whole team and whats going on.
Then again, do what you did against Middlesbrough every week and I'll be happy.

shhhhh......Grimsby........*snigger*
Ledley King and Martin Jol officially apologise...
...that' all very well and good, but why did it take seventy odd minutes to introduce Aaron Lennon (stupidly for Andy Reid) and why did it take sixty plus minutes to get some urgency abuot our play?
As always, its our own fault.

It's a shame, because last season Manchester Utd didnt scare me - they do again now however. Looking far more like their old selves. Then again if Tottenham finally hit some form, we're a different propsect to normal.

No, no- I'm talking England- Poland. :) You'll see what Polish players can and are worth. :)
I recommend watching guy called Maciej ZURAWSKI, now Celtic striker- awesome player! Another one to watch is KOSOWSKI (now Sunderland I think) and KRZYNOWEK (Bayer Leverkusen)
