Month: February 2013

With the news confirming that Younes Kaboul has returned from training, but is it too late for the Frenchman to make an impact this year? James Swan takes a closer look. 

With votes due to be cast by fellow professionals next month, we make an early prediction as to the likely nominees and contenders for the Premier League’s best player this season.

Hearing that Jermain Defoe will be ruled out for three weeks would be enough to make any Tottenham Hotspur fan despair. While the news isn’t great, Togo losing to Burkina Faso on Sunday night means Emmanuel Adebayor will be returning to White Hart Lane for the weekend encounter with Newcastle United, with Nick Harris salivating at the prospect of the striker linking up with January arrival Lewis Holbty for the first time.

We Tottenham Hotspur fans were rightfully excited about the signing of Lewis Holtby and when he appeared from the bench during the 1-1 draw with Norwich City, interest in his performance understandably rose. 

The transfer window closed shut yet again with not a bang, but a whimper. Tottenham Hotspur may’ve brought in the likes of Ezekiel Fryers, Lewis Holtby and, well, Lewis Holtby earlier than the summer. With the club in need of a striker, James Swan believes that chairman Daniel Levy has again bottled it when Spurs needed a new arrival now more than ever.

We all know Daniel Levy loves transfer deadline day. Harry Redknapp also. But what of Andre Villas-Boas? How does he feel about the dying embers of the transfer window, dubbed ‘Levy Time’? Matt Walsh looks at how a Director of Football could aid the Spurs boss in the foreseeable future.
