Can you post some quotes where Robbie Keane said he would never leave Spurs?

Would you be ok with Eriksen being a coach here in 12 years? Or are you really that pathetic?

He said after the carling Cup final (around that period) that he's not leaving us in the summer and he's looking to build on this carling Cup win. He was adamant he was staying then proceeded to hand in a transfer request and leave. Berbatov on the other hand never said or insinuated he was gonna stay once.

You bringing up Eriksen shows you still don't understand people's point ( as usual). Eriksen never said he was staying...in fact he made it clear he wanted to leave. You can't begrudge a player who has worked hard and given a club a lot of years service if he makes it clear he wants out. Keane the snake didn't do that...in fact he did the complete opposite like the cunt Campbell then justified it with saying he was a Liverpool fan and he wouldn't have left for another team.
 
Not sure if any of you have read The Mixer by the zonal marking guy. I started it but got bored. Anyway, I just picked it up to read about Mourinho and his Chelsea team and it is well worth having a look at it. Some of the similarities of that side and how we have been since the restart are very familiar. We need some players in key positions but I can now see what he meant when he initially said we didn’t need many new additions. I’m not sure I agree with him on that but it’s more clear now if the players do what they are told.

For those of you worried about Ndombele, he had a more talented individual in Joe Cole who was able to function well in the side while still being able to use his playmaking skills in attack. He was willing to listen and work on the defensive side. If Ndombele has the will to do exactly what Mourinho demands of him then there is every chance he will be involved. If he doesn’t, he won’t. It really is that simple.

So no quotes then?
 
I think Ledley King's appointment, if confirmed, would be about identity. João Sacramento is Mourinho's right hand man from a tactical point of view, and I doubt King would play a major role in changing how the team works. But he knows Tottenham, he knows the fans and the club's History.

King would add something very important to this group. It's easy in modern football to have a very good team with no real soul. We have a top manager in Mourinho. We have many international players. But if we want to build something special, we also need our original identity to play a part.

More like Liverpool and less like City.

So....to be clear, you think that if Robbie Keane becomes a coach here, and Kane leaves to win stuff, it won’t be because Kane has had enough of us failing, but because Robbie Keane left 12 years ago and therefore will tell Kane to leave?

You can defend your statement if you want, I don’t see why you feel agitated.

Yep King maybe an up and coming coach but in reality it just ticks a lot of boxes. Cheap, available, a connection with the club that the coaching staff don't currently have. Its a good bit of PR from Mourinho and the club.
 
No idea if King will be a good coach but hopefully Mourinho has sussed that out. I also have no idea if the bloke that is leaving is any good. I do know King was a brilliant defender and loyal servant. I do hope he is getting the job on merit and not on sentimentality or because they can pay him less than his predecessor and not replace him in his current role.
 
Never understand why people get so bitter about players leaving - the only valid one is Sol. The likes of Sheringham, Berbatov, Carrick, Bale, Modric and Keane were all justifiable moves at the time - all moved to bigger clubs and we were well paid for them bar Sheringham. If your abiding memory of those players is their departure then that is very sad way to view things.

Answer mine then.

Of course I don’t afford the same leniency to Sol Campbell and why the fuck would I?
Do you see Keane, Bale and Eriksen in the same light?

Or are you now on the run?

But, Campbell left for 'ambition' and you said that was ok?

Bale and Eriksen basically went on strike to get a move.

Keane said one thing and did another.

Fuck all four of them.

BTW... what does 'on the run' mean?

Running away from the question you still haven’t answered
Let me explain....odd that I have to.....leaving us for the scum is unforgivable in any circumstances.

You asked me a question and I answered it. At the first time of asking too, I had to ask you twice. You just don't like the answer.

Look elsewhere for your cunt-off Sammy, I'm not going there with you.
