Quick Throw: Spurs interested in another mediocre goalkeeper

With Cudicini out for a long time (get well soon, Carlo), it appears ‘Arry has put on his Cap of Player Unsettlement and begun to cast a spell over fading United GK Ben Foster, he of the video iPod at Wembley and precious little since. Foster has plummeted to the ranks of 3rd choice goalkeeper at Old Trafford, yet still has the bizarre privilege of starting for England occasionally, making him the perfect, inconsistent choice to fill out the squad at White Hart Lane.

We may mock Redknapp for this, but I’m sure he knows what he’s doing. That said, I’m surprised he hasn’t finalized a deal to buy back his GK from Pompey, the ageless David James. One thing’s for certain: Foster will be trading reserve at one club for reserve at another.

  1. If Foster wants to be the WC keeper for England, then he needs to go someplace where he will play…say…the Colaship.

    What tripe. No one from Spurs is even quoted in the article. Typical transfer-window rumormongering, nothing more.

    Like you say, if ‘Arry goes in for a keeper, he’s far more likely to go after James than anyone else who might be available.

    Still think Joe Hart deserves more of a shot than he’s getting.


  4. phil

    Agreed, Ryan. I think Hart’s a very underrated player.

    There’s a rumor about the Mascherano’s people have already agreed terms with Barca.”


  6. i believe that is called impeaching the witness.


  7. phil

    I believe it’s called “tu quo que.”

    Ad hominem my ass!

    Having never seen your ass, I would then myself be guilty of an appeal to unqualified authority.


  10. phil

    And no, I do not wish to see your ass.

    Because I don’t do that.

    On land.

    Only in international waters, where they held the Tyson v Secretariat fight.


  12. “Ad hominem my ass!”

    No thanks, I don’t have a dead language gay sex fetish.

    Phil, calm thyself. It’s called “Slow News Day”


  14. phil

    I am nothing if not unwarrantably indignant.

    In lay terms, TFA, it’s called “pulling one’s card”

    Of course, Tottenham no longer has a reserve team….
