Player expectations for next year ! (Gomes)

Last year Gomes had a rather successful loan spell at Hoffenheim until he had to come back due to an injury. However Gomes has been awful playing for spurs over the past few years making more dreadful mistakes than good saves.

I expect Gomes to be a Spurs player come September however in my opinion I hope he isn't. If Gomes could concentrate more then maybe he would cut out the terrible mistakes he makes however one thing I don't expect is to see him able to cut out his mistakes and the second is that even if he does cut out the mistakes I do not expect the fans to forgive him for the mistakes he made in the past. Next year I expect Gomes to struggle to get onto the bench let alone the starting eleven and therefore I expect that in no time he will want out and I'm sure we won't stop him.

Spurs vs Sunderland Match Review Barclays Asia Trophy

Spurs go home early from a very wet Hong Kong after losing 3-1 to Sunderland this afternoon. The semi-final was scheduled for an 11 am start however due to very heavy rain the game was delayed by thirty minutes and the halves were made five minutes shorter. The weather proved a real problem for both sides as many players were falling over, the ball was holdding up in the rain and ultimately many mistakes were made.

The Spurs lineup was Gomes, Walker, Caulker, Dawson, Rose, Huddlestone, Lennon, Parker, Dempsey, Sigurdsson and Adebayor. Meanwhile Sunderland lined up with Mannone, Gardner, Colback, O'Shea, Brown, Cabral, Larsson, Johnson, Giaccherini, Sessegnon and Altidore. The first 25 minutes were very even with Dawson making some excellent defensive challenges but neither team really troubled either goalkeeper. However in the 28th minute Spurs broke the deadlock with a Gylfi Sigurdsson shot that was deflected in. But Spurs' lead didn't last long and with Huddlestone making a mistake in the wet Sunderland's new signing Cabral went through one on one and slotted home the equaliser. From the start of the second half it all went downhill for Spurs when in the 48th minute Jan Verthongen had to be stretchered of with what looked like a serious injury. Despite Spurs being the better side Sunderland went 2-1 up when poor defending gave Wes Brown a free header from a corner. Spurs then looked like they had dropped their heads with Friedel pulling of some amazing saves to keep us in the game but in the last minute David Moberg Karlsson went through one on one from a counter attack to slot home Sunderland's third which ended the contest.

Sunderland looked much sharper than Spurs and although many players were missing and the conditions were bad I thought Spurs looked very poor and I am just happy that there is still plenty of time to improve before the new season starts. Despite this some players impressed like Dawson who played excellently and Friedel who pulled of some amazing saves to keep us in the game. Hopefully Verthongen's injury is nothing to serious and now Spurs can return to North London for some more well needed pre season training.

Spurs have reportedly signed Soldado ... But who is he ?

According to reports Baldini has agreed a deal for Roberto Soldado this afternoon however nothing is official of yet. This is arguably our second choice striker behind Christian Benteke who signed a new four year deal with Aston Villa. So who is Roberto Soldado?

He joined Real Madrid when he was just 15 and played in the B team. While playing for the B team he was seen as a future star, scoring 64 goals in 120 appearances. He was given his first call up to the 1st team in 2005 where he was wasted and given just 16 appearances in 3 years. In 2008 Soldado transfered to Getafe for €4 million and there he scored 29 goals in 60 appearances.However his time at Getafe was short lived and just 2 years later in 2010 he moved to Valencia for €10 million. He has proved himself a clinical striker at Valencia scoring 59 goals in 101 appearances which is well over a goal every other game. Not only having a great club career he has also had a great International career. He has played for Spain at every level scoring 32 goals in 52 appearances which once again is more than a goal every other game.

In my opinion Soldado would be a great signing for Spurs. The stats speak for themselves showing that he is an incredibly clinical finisher who is guaranteed to score goals and in my opinion would be a better signing than Christian Benteke. There is however one problem with him and that is his age. He is 28 and has probably finished his peak but that doesn't mean he cannot still score with Zola being a perfect example of an old aged striker who could still score in the Premier League. Hopefully this deal is wrapped up soon.

Spurs look very close to signing Roberto Soldado

Baldini travelled to Valencia this afternoon to discuss a possible move for Soldado and he has proven that he doesn't waste any time getting anything done.

It is believed that we have agreed personal terms with Soldado of £3.5 million a season meanwhile a deal is close. Valencia are apparently asking for €30 million however Spurs have offered €26 million plus €4 million add ons.  The Valencia board are expected to accept this deal and hopefully the transfer will be completed by tommorow. In my opinion the sooner Soldado is a yido the better.
