Scott Parker in talks with Spurs

Particularly considering the fact that they're hopelessly undermanned in central midfield.
 
I thought they said West Ham are in talks with Spurs, about the sale of Scott Parker.
 
Sorry but another midfielder? THE feck!

Well Palacios is leaving, Jenas too probably.

Leaves them with Modrić, Kranjčar, Huddlestone, Sandro Parker as their main central midfielders. Didn't count van der Vaart as her plays further forward.
 
Just watched Harry being interviewed on SSN
I have no reason to dislike him, but his muppetry is highly annoying
 
Took someone long enough to take a chance on Parker.Thought he would have been snapped up by a mid table club.
 
You dont think Parker would be good for them?

How is he scraping the barrell? He is exactly what they require

He is 31 in just over a month. He is asking for around £75,000 per week and doesn't he get injured quite often? I think Spurs can do better than him but they wasted the last two months without signing anyone and they have only themselves to blame.
 
Redknapp: "don't envisage too many problems"

So Harry is doing to West Ham what Chelsea are doing to Spurs. That's football for you.
 
So I guess they won't be signing Diarra after all?
 
They are now linked to Gary Cahill. That would be a fantastic signing along with Parker
 
The Dealer is this season, waiting until the last minute to purchase his average 5 players! Last minute heroics for a team on the down!
 
Agreed, this should be crucial to Spurs. I hope they consider playing a 3 man midfield at some point, it would be nice to see Modric have more freedom.

I'd like to see:

---Parker-Huddlestone
---------Modric
VDV---------------Bale
-------Adebayor

Or Palacios or Sandro if Huddlestone is crap these days.
 
Sandro will be important for them this season. I would have him instead of Hudd anyway. That above formation is excellent. If they also get Cahill they can push Liverpool and Arse for 4th

Their first team isn't the problem, it's their squad which is poor. I'm certain this will cost them any chance of a top 4 finish. They have absolute dross that they should have flogged:

Jenas
Bassong
Palacios
Kaboul
Kranjčar
Pavlyuchenko
Crouch

In addition to Parker, replacing them with 2 good defenders (like Cahill/Samba/Shawcross) and a good striker (someone like Daniel Sturridge or ironically Darren Bent) would give them a much better chance.

Unfortunately it seems Harry generally overvalues his players which leads them to warming the bench for a season or two before being sold for far less (as I'm sure will happen to Bentley/Pavlyuchenko/Jenas/Kranjcar and has already happened to Keane).

He's penny-wise but pound-foolish.
