Team of the last Decade

[Don Giovanni]

Swap Bale with Dele and that would be mine.

Never in million years.

 

[ginola92]

Only change I would make is VDV for Eriksen

Swapping out Bale for Dele is absolute madness imo, Bale in his last 2 seasons for us was one of the best I've seen in the prem

 

[Joe Clash]

I liked Dawson.

 

[WookieD]

Astonishing that 7 of that team are still available for us to put out, albeit a few a little older and slower than they were. Really underlines the strength of the squad we've had for the last 5 or 6 years.

A few might be arguable - for example Van der Vaart (playing 90 minutes) for Eriksen perhaps

I’d put Rafa in there any day of the week and twice on Sundays. With that team he’d only need 45 minutes to demolish the opposition, let alone 70!

Said it before,will say it again.
One of the few non London born/raised players that truly got what it meant to us fans to turn over the goons up the road. Gazza was another.
He would be in my team any day of the week.

 

[FokkenPrawn]

Gomes
Walker King Vertonghen BAE
Sandro Modric
Son VDV Bale
Kane

Maybe not the best team.. But one I'd love to see line up!

Dembele's contribution will never have the stats it deserved. You just had to watch him. He was phenomenal at breaking up play and shifting it. He made the job of every other player in the team easier, that's why everyone who played with him rates him so highly. He should be the first name on this sheet.

 

[GDN]

fucking hell. bale would be in the conversation if the title was "Team of the last 100 years".

not including him here is madness, and probably due to some personal feelings about the way he left.

 

[ArcspacE]

I liked Dawson.

Last player prior to VdV who truly understood the meaning of the NDL

Looked like he would die for the shirt in every tackle

 

[Borks]

Fucking love Rafa, was gutted when he left. The performances he used to put in vs the scum could get him in the team above alone but I also remember him demolishing Villa on quite a few occasions. Our 2nd goal away at Villa park (think it was a Boxing day match) with 10 men was one of the best counter attacking goals I've seen.

I would say you would have to add which incarnation of each player you would want. I wouldn't neccessarily put the current version of Rose in there, but on the whole - can't disagree with the team too much.

What I did realise, is that the past decade doesn't actually give you that many players to chose from.

Well obviously you pick them in their prime. Nobody thinks about an all time XI and thinks “yeah, let’s stick fat Ronaldo next to crack whore Maradona”.

 

[Don Giovanni]

Bale and Dele comparison is beyond ludicrous. Bale was at one point considered among top 3 in the world.

 

[ArcspacE]

Er no Dawson was shit.

Clueless

 

[Taricco's Tackle]

The only real difficult choice is Eriksen or VDV surely. I'd select VDV purely on his performances against the scum.

 

[spursmalc]

Swap Bale with Dele and that would be mine.

Ledley King played 21 times in 2011/12 and whilst not his best years has to be included in the best 11 of the decade.

 

[Boltonspur]

I liked Dawson.

Met the bloke whilst he was playing for Hull.
He absolutely gave his all for this club and was a really steady defender.
He still loves Spurs too and putting everything together, it’s a yes from me.
Top, top lad.

 

[matspur]

Nope, Dembele to me was a wasted talent, he could have been a lot more than he was and as it's a DM position I would rather go for Parker. Remember that Harry brought him in because he was a winner as well.

And remember when ALL of the squad that appeared individually on Soccer Am over the last few years said Dembele was the best player in the squad (our best squad) and Pochettino compared him to Maradona etc.

So Scott Parker was brought in by Redknapp because he was a winner- what did he win?- the Intertoto cup with Newcastle.

No comparison for me and to say he was a wasted talent is nonsense. Dembele could defend and attack and he drove us to 3rd, 2nd and 3rd in the league. He was unique.
Did we miss Parker when he left as much as we have missed Dembele?

Yeah, I actually think bar one or two players most fans would select that team.
