Centre mid for Spurs?

Baxter's coming back from Tranmere and I think he could do Osman's job in midfield.

Also expect Cahill to play

Wow. I totally forgot about him. Yes, he would probably come back into the squad and pair with Saha.

God I hope we somehow turn it around.

From tranmere to Spurs away.

Sorry, I dont agree. I do not think he will make it as a premier league player. A good championship level for me.

I didn't bother to write a disclaimer that he should jump in the game thus topic is about. But I liken him to Osman alot, but have to admit I really haven"t seen him actually play much.

Fair play.

I just think he'll come up short. I expect him to go on loan again.

I guess I'm desperate to see all the kids come good and salvage us.

On Big Soccer Arteta's Girl posted that LD got sponsors MOTM. She was at the game. That's kinda "meh" as he wasn't great today either.

I don't see Moyes putting him in. Do you?

Bench most likely.

milks · January 8, 2012

If Barkley is fit, what indication have you seen from Moyes that he will start? The fact that he's not been involved off the bench of late surely works against that.

There's evidently still room for improvement from Barkley in Moyes' eyes. Someone commented that there are defensive doubts and I can see that. Moyes has expectations of his players which is why our midfield of late had been the axis of dullness. Given Moyes' selection policy and track record, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to gauge that he'll opt for the most experienced side he can field; players who he knows will adhere to his work ethic and demands on playing to shape.

I'd like to see an appearance from Barkley, but I wouldn't count on it when Felliani and Neville are available.

ANY NEWS ON THAT BARKLEY CHARACTER YET

bullensview · January 8, 2012

if moyes doesn't play Barkley against Wolves, WBA etc there is not a chance that, even if fit, that he will play. Also, I love the fact that last week after Vic announced his return everyone wanted him to play. Now Saha is in almost everyone's team. Personally I'm fed up of Louis. Been awful, and looks disinterested. Would rather have Donovan playing just off (or just ahead of) Anichebe/Velios.

Howard
Hibbo, Heits, Distin, Baines.
Felli, Neville,
Drenthe, Donovan, Gueye,
Vic / Velios
