Spuds hope to unearth Gamst - AGAIN!

This just won't go away will it. Personally I think MGP should give it another year to see how far Spurs pull away from Rovers (if indeed they do!) then decide what he is doing in the summer of 2008.

Totally agree that there isn't too much between the top dozen clubs (the top four aside, and even some of these aren't as far ahead of others as we may think!) so it wouldn't be a forward move, not yet anyway. Let's see how Spurs progress over the next season. I WOULDN'T want Rovers to pay £12 million and don't think we would, personally I think £6 million is more than enough!

I hope no one pays the 10-12 mil for Bellamy,I don't think MGP will join anyone outside the top 4,His fee would be very expensive if he did.Hughes knows what he's doing yous will be alright.

typical pathetic Northerners .. lets be clear on one thing, Spurs have a tradition .. oops you lot will not know what that means ( the fluke was the TEAM Jack Built !). We are clearly moving forward, unlike you lot .. sorry its the InterTOTO for u lot. If this lad wants to progress, come on down to the Nations Capital and join the elite .. CoYS ! .. McCathery will be gone as well !

cant see why hed want to got to spurs anyway, i think if he and some other stay and we bring one or two in, we could be heading for the top 5/6 ?

Pederson signed a new contarct early this year, plus he has been doin a lot of charity work in the area, i think he really likes the place, dont see him leaving any time soon

class player, not sure he is worth that money though.. but the lure of europe is always a testing one.

Pushing Spurs for 4th spot! LOL My God, you're delusional!! Goodbye to Benny! LOL

Spurs have a tradition??? Of what... not winning anything at all.... And last time I checked Rovers had been in the Premier League for a while, and just to refresh Spurs memories, when Spurs bid for Steven Reid last year he immediately signed a new deal wit the "FAKE" football club.... doesnt comapre to Lennon!?!??! lol ha ha ha Lennon has been palying pap now for about 3/4 months.

its quiet at the lib.... If Benni does go we win either way, we either keep and he scores loads again next year (more than Berbatov AGAIN) and if he goes we make a huge profit... if your gonna try and wind us up at least think of something intelligent to say.

how many assists did Benni have compared to Berbatov? Not just about sticking the ball in the net.

Pedersen to Spurs? I don't doubt for a minute that Spurs can afford to buy him off us, but why exactly would he want to join Spurs? We will be in the UEFA Cup next season via the Intertoto and there is very little to choose between the teams the two clubs put on the pitch. The argument from Spurs point of view would be that they are a richer club, financially closer to the top 4 and the gap between them, Arsenal and Liverpool appears to have narrowed this past season. Also, London nightlife is better than Blackburn's. The argument from the Rovers perspective is that this view is touchingly naiive. We have less money to spend but we spend it wisely. Our squad is approximately equal to the Spurs squad but on lower wages and for lesser transfer fees, so the financial inequalities are irrelevant as long as we remain so well managed. London nightlife is excellent, touche, but so is Manchester and the travelling time between home and the best night spots is probably about the same for players in each club. Make no mistake Liverpool will be MASSIVELY stronger next season with the cash injection they have received and Arsenal will be fantastic next season - they only needed a goalscorer and they would have kept pace with the top 2. With either Henry back or Eto'o in exchange if recent speculation is on the mark, they'll be far ahead of Spurs and Rovers next season. The title will be a 4 horse race decided mainly on injuries to key players next season with Spurs and Rovers 5th and 6th with the positions decided on a 6 pointer at either Ewood or the Lane late in the season. Pedersen doesn't have a release clause and is on a nice long contract. His defensive game has improved significantly and he's been carrying injuries including a broken rib so it's no wonder his form appears to have dipped. The finest free-kick taker in the Premiership and in my opinion the best all-round left winger too (heading, crossing, shooting, passing, tackling set-pieces, work-rate...) will not come cheap and he'll want and deserve Champions League football soon. Neither Rovers nor Spurs can offer him that opportunity, but supporters of both teams can share the Champions League dream...

LOL i would rather be DELUDED and follow a club that wins things occasionally rather than be a fan of Spuds who flatter to deceive every god damn season! Snapey. nice write up mate.

I'm ready, bring it on.... F'N pathetic the lot of them. They don't realise that every club laughs at them for the air of superiority they create for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON...

alfiespurs - At the end of the day when all is said and done WHEN we qualify through the Intertoto Cup we'll be in the same European Competiton! So you haven't moved as far forward as you think if you are still "only" playing UEFA Cup football like us. Tradition, you say we have no tradition, whatever you say. As for the "fluke" of winning the Premiership at least we have done that, so we "paid for it" if you believe that but at least we've won it dude, Spurs will NEVER win the League again and you seem to be paying a fair bit of cash to try!

SonicBorg - Blackburn ARE not a small selling club, we don't need, want or have to sell players but much like Spurs some players want to go onto "bigger" teams so they do, you get this a bit yourselves and will get this again with Berbatov next summer if you don't crack the top four! How the ***** can you put Lennon in the same league as Ronaldo, and Robben (I don't know enough about Nani to comment.) I do like Lennon but he's had a POOR season and isn't a patch on the other guys you mention, nor is MGP for that mater, but he is certainly on a par with Lennon at least.

PUREGOLD - You forget (as I think it was you on Vital Arsenal forgot then?) that we are only a couple of games away from Europe dude, so we haven't missed out!

Stretch - But aren't so many Spurs fans both arrogant and diluded?!?!

I think my work here is done, I assume I will have to do the same on the "overrated" Jermaine Jenas part now too lol!

Aren't Spuds fans ever so tiresome. I popped on their site yester about this subject matter. Tradition pedigree history blah blah blah. Stop hiding behind it and win something if you're that good. As fopr Gamst going there, I reiterate my stance in the sense that I would be very surprised to see him leave. Can we please ignore the absurd hollering of Spuds fans from now on? We are proud of our 'modest family' club and continue to enjoy seeing exciting football at Ewood. We don't need to listen to the talk of the disillusioned.

I can't really bring myself to visit Vital Spurs roversman to be honest because I either find myself getting so angry that I want to smash up my computer (and I don't want that!) or I laugh so much at what is said that I p i s s my undercrackers and run out of clean ones (and to be honest with you it's not exactly warm at the moment so little HDM gets a little cold, and when he gets cold it doesn't really do too much for my self-esteem lol!)

NO TRADITION!!!! FOUNDER MEMBERS OF THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE I THINK YOU LL FIND SPURS FANS !!!! COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOLS TO THINK YOU ARE EVEN A BIG CLUB ANYMORE!!! STAY ON YOUR OWN PAGE IF YOU HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY

Good debate life the hard way, see you put a lot of thought in that post, don't really know how to come back to that, other than using caps lock and a load of punctuation, think I'll leave that style to you doesn't really suit me.

To be honest the bar is going to be raised, so much money now in premiership and the top 4 are going to fly away with the way things are going. May be a case of us just trying to make some ground on them next season but I think this is our chance because I have too, if we don't get CL Berbatov will probably go and he is pretty much irreplaceable. We are loaded and we'd get loads of money from him, but as you guys know its not just about who you can afford but who you can attract.

Pking - no offense mate but you have an article with Spurs being a pretty big part of it, yes? Don't really see how youi can complain spurs fans coming on the site?!

Fair point mate but pking is a Villa fan as far as I am aware...

The article is about speculation between two teams... And GuySpur decided to have a go so we are defending ourselves... fair game if you ask me...

If fans come on from teams and want to talk normally, like human beings and honestly about football then we can have a nice chat, the more the merrier in my eyes. If Morten decides to stay at Blackburn and snub Spurs then no-one in the football community will be shocked at all.

Here here Pking!!!

Good call pking..

That is a dark view of your own clubs fortunes west-upper. Although I too think Spuds will be out of all comps and have little to play for come April 2008.

Pking, its the best league in the world theres going to be competition and even teams which have finished lower down in the league will attract good foreign players. I admit it might not go to plan and we don't make the gap bigger between us and the teams who finished below us this year, but I also think it could go the intended way, and it'd be nice if other fans recognised that rather than just calling us to$$ers and putting us down.

By yous I mean Blackburn of course,Spurs fans are always on the Villa site acting like to$$ers Im sorry if I offend you strech.

I browse on lots of other vital sites and there is one common theme on all of them,Spurs fans on every site acting like to$$ers,and everyone hates them,they seem to unify everyone.

I was the man who discovered this player on Football manager 2 years before he came to you guys, so i think Mark Hughes should thank me!

Good attempt at a reasoned argument Daz, although i fear any responses may be tainted by the idiocy of the supporters who posted before you. Spurs are definately better positioned to attack the big 4 because of the cash, but it's the combined 990 minutes of every match that make the difference - We've been doing pretty well recently, and MGP is settled into a side he knows, and an area of the country he likes, under a manager he admires greatly. Also, his (well publicised) dream is to play for Man U - I can't see a transfer to Spurs helping him in this cause, and i think he knows that. (Oh, re the cups - Really? Further? ;-) ) I see Arsenal and Liverpool as both catchable this year, and sincerely hope one (or more) of the "mid-tablers" get there.

Im sorry HDM didnt mean to use capitals was just too idol to retype when i realised. he he!! i apologise to any Spurs fans that wants to come on and have a debate, Stretch my rant wasnt on you!! you actually make some good valid point!! i was merely pointing out to alfiespurs when he said we have no tradition. it really bugs me when people make such ludicrous statement as that!! any way carry on ....

Good call BomBom.... We have a good bunch of players here and with a little more luck with injuries we could of finished a lot higher... having Steven Reid, Ryan Nelsen and Jason Roberts out for long periods is like Spurs without Lennon, Keane and King (yes i know he was injured).

Top four havent even got a bigger stadium to be there ha ha ha!

anil60 - I'm not quite sure what you are saying or who it is even aimed at to be honest?!?!

i think Anil60 is too, so just ignore it

I think Pedersen wants to go to spurs because in Tromso Chas and Dave are massive - just like the Hoff in Germany. That's who spurs are famous for!!! Rabbit Rabbit. They have the cheek to call us deluded - they "think" they are a large club and have for years - the only cups they have lifted are in the canteen!!!! Look at it this way Pedersen will not leave rovers for less than £8M - Hughesy will just bring in a cheaper replacment and spend the cash improving in other areas - aside from his flashes of genius, he doesn't do much in a game. I think we would survive without him - bring back the duffer....

welcome back IsraeliRover, where you been hiding? Simple fact guys, gals and the Spud muppets, we do not need to sell UNLESS it is in BLACKBURN ROVERS BEST INTEREST, not in Gamst's best interest or one of the "top 5" (LOL top 5, as if Spuds fans) best interest. If Anyone leaves the club this summer it will be on Rovers terms not anyone elses. FACT

Absolutely 100% correct BomBom. Gamst doesn't want to leave anyway... he has stated he is happy, knows the club is going places and is happy to be a part of it. Plus he has a hot missus as well and she is eye candy supreme.

Personally I think Liverpool should sign him. They only have the useless Zenden on the left - excluding Riise who I think is more of a left-back. Think of the combination of Crouch and Pedersen. Actually Hughesy, you want a striker - get Crouch!! I am joking of course.

Have you seen your centenery shirt Dazz? Its paying homage to the original team kit, inspired back then by the most successful team in the land, now who could that have been? ;)

Speaking of shirts... what was up with Spurs away shirt last year... absolute shocker!?!?!

Well there is really. 2 Uefa Cups, 1 European Cup Winners Cup and your 6 FA Cups all came before the turn of the century.

I think you will find that all of your Cups came before the turn of the century also :p At least we have won something this century! For the record however, the last FA cup we won was in the 1920's, like I said, around the time of our decline into obscurity for numerous years.

chalky - Dude you leave yourself open for so much grief don't you! Villa could VERY likely be one of the teams challenging you (and us!) for fifth spot next season, if they do you'll be eating your words.

Hughes Da Man-Spurs are far closer to breaking into the top 4 than Villa are of establishing themselves in the top 6.Blue Sq bet have Spurs at 66/1 for the title & Villa at 400/1 whilst Hills i notice have Villa at just 14/1 for relegation next season & us at 150/1 so that is how far the experts think the gap between 11th & 5th is in terms of quality.I not only predict top 4 next season for us but i fully believe that Tottenham will have a serious title chasing side within 2 seasons & it"ll be younger than Fergie"s babes of 95.Even Jose this week said EXACTLY the same thing on Chelsea TV.We have 2 youth sensations about 1 year off the 1st team.Dixon is touted as better than Rooney & Pekhart is touted as the best talent the Czech Rep has EVER produced.We also signed a 15yr old from QPR for £2mill & he"s the best kid the experts have ever seen.Dont say i didnt warn you chaps..!!

chalky - But as your lot keep saying it's the "money" that will make a difference and Villa have LOTS of this, attracting players may be another matter but money often talks A LOT more for some players than it does others?!?! We'll see dude, I personally think you will find it hard to be challenging for the Title in two-years but you obivously know your young talent better than me (I genuinely mean this and I'm not be sarcastic) IF (the big if) Spurs contiune to progress (and finishing fifth constently WILL NOT be enough of a progression!) then your best players will stay and these highly promising youngsters will not be prised away either, so maybe you could challenge for the Title, but Spurs NEED to be in the top four next season and the season after to stand ANY chance of keeping this talent and having than chance (but I still can't see it, but good luck as it would be good for the English game for the "big four" to be broken up) If it happens I will be the first to publicly congratulate you (Spurs, and you personally) and would forward and article for the Vital Spurs Editor to publish saying how wrong I was!

Dont know much about the Czech kid but i have heard very good things about Dixon. Better than Rooney tho? He would have to be a tad special (and a bit better looking lol) I cannt see spuds breaking the top 4 monoploy either but good luck to them. HDM, if MGP does stay this season, i feel that it may well be his last with us!

just tell them to feck off!

and our teams fans would laugh their b0ll0cks off if that happens!

why won;t spurs break into the top four? because someone will poison the lasagne again... so near yet so far! Dear Spuds... our two teams are very much on the same level... along with Notlob, Toffetown and Villa... wake up and smell the coffee... If we lose MGP it will be to Man United...
