Reaction to yesterday's defeat by Newcastle United has come quickly,
with the Head Coach and some players having plenty to say.
Jonathan Woodgate said that players should regard it as a kick
up the backside to make sure that they perform until the end of the
season and earn their place in Tottenham's future, while Juande
Ramos said that ht was very disappointed by the team's
application and that they are not playing at "maximum motivation."
With changes due in the summer, the rumours
are really starting to fly now. Croatian winger Danijel
Pranjic of Heerenveen is linked with a move, after Spurs have
had the 26 year old left sided player watched in his country's
recent game against Scotland, where he was marked by Alan Hutton.
Tottenham's interest in Villareal goalkeeper Diego Lopez has
been confirmed by the Spanish club, but he has signed a new contract
with the La Liga outfit, while the Sky Sports website claims
Tottenham scouts are looking seriously at Molde FK's young defender
Vegaard Forren, even though the 20 year old says he is
concentrating on his career in Norway.
Spurs Reserves won 3-1 against Fulham reserves tonight at Brisbane
Road with goals from Danny Rose, Adel

Juande Ramos and fitness coach

over the last few weeks, as a possible replacement should Dimitar

The Daily Express has a Tottenham day by claiming that Juande
Ramos is set to reduce the number of English players at
White Hart Lane by selling off Paul Robinson, Jermaine Jenas, Tom
Huddlestone, Darren Bent and Aaron Lennon in the summer.
Coming in to replace them will be
David Villa (Valencia), Diego
Milito (Real Zaragoza), Johan Elmander (Toulouse) and
Ronaldinho
(Barcelona) the Express says, even though most of these seem to be
strikers !! On top of that they reckon that Michael Dawson
will be snapped up by Kevin Keegan, who missed out on getting
Jonathan Woodgate to join Newcastle United.

Juande Ramos has named Ledley King, Jonathan Woodgate,

only players certain to stay at the club next season, so offers will
be considered for any other members of the squad. This is a
little at odds with a further piece in the same paper which reckons
he has told Sporting Director Damien Comolli to find seven
new players to add to the squad to achieve the aim of Champions
League football. On Football 365, the agent of Pascal

Information has been received from one of our readers about
Joe Lewis,
who effectively owns Spurs, that since September he has lost roughly
£580 million by buying 10% of the U.S. investment bank Bear Stearns.
Their shares were around $105 and $95 when he bought them. Today
they are around $3 and there is a takeover bid at just $2, but ...
-
Contrary to rumours, Joe
Lewis does not need to sell Spurs to fund any part of the
losses.
-
He bought the shares in
Bear Stearns with cash and so has no pressure to sell any
assets, of which the holding company that owns Spurs is a
part.
-
Spurs ability to operate in
the transfer market is unlikely to be restricted. Joe Lewis
was a billionaire before this collapse and after it he is
still substantially a multi-billionaire.
However, that
is not to say that Lewis might be more open to a decent offer for
Spurs if it came along but he is primarily a long term investor.
