If true about Adel Taarabt just think...

[sirpiechucker]

...of our midfield next season:

Routledge---Buzsaky---Rowlands---Taarabt
Vine

With players like Ephraim and Leigertwood competing for places it looks good!

[QPR-FOREVER-N-EVER]

Got a feeling that Rowlands wont be a regular next season..If Ephraim Continues like he has the last two games he could be playing most games next season

[sirpiechucker]

Even if he isn't the fact that we have Legs and Hogan playing so well and if Lopez is offered a new deal things are only going to get better.

Ye and I forgot Lopez...we cant leave him out ;D

[Bluehoop]

Having said that SirPie - didn't we make up a song about having the best midfield in the world at the beginning of this season :grimace:

I'd rather have Vine playing on the Left side of midfield like last season: More end product.

I would have Routledge ( Right Midfield )
Leigertwood ( Defensive Midfielder )
Buzsaky ( Attacking Midfielder )
Vine ( Left Midfield )

Not many teams in the division will have a better midfield than that, will they ??

Rowlands is no way good enough to be deemed an automatic starter IMO, he will have to fight to get back in to the starting line up.

[Nodge70]

Redknapp really rates Taarabt. Not sure if he'd allow a season long deal

[Hertford Hoop]

True but he won't get too many starts next season at the Lane. A season with us pushing for promotion would be sensible for Spurs IMO :exciting:

[sirpiechucker]

Obviously its all about opinions but the one thing we can't argue is that Vine, Buzsaky and Rowlands returning will improve the midfield. If we can add Taarabt to that and bring in just two decent strikers and a left back then we are laughing.

[stainrodisalegend]

I'm lost, where is it reported that we might have him next season?

[Denny Crane]

It's not the midfield that has ever been the problem. It's upfront.:tired:

[Funky]

Nail on head we need a couple of forwards

[stainrodisalegend]

only worth having a big lump of a forward if we play two up front, with a nippy one alongside him to get the knock downs. but if we do keep the spurs lad and have routledge on the right whoever is the striker will get great service so makes sense to have someone big to give us that option.

Having said all that I'd be quite happy if our close season purchases consist of spurr and lita and we off load a lot of dead wood.

Agreed. Pete said that a deal is being done to get Taarabt on a season long deal.

Apologies Sir Pie, saw that after posting. Great if true (though not good if you are Lee Cook I guess).
