Mexican Wonder-Kid to Spice Up Spurs

By signing the Mexican wonder-kid Giovani Dos Santos from the Spanish mega-club F.C Barcelona, Tottenham seem to have pulled off a major coup in the silly-season!
Dos Santos is regarded as one of the biggest tallents in european football and this is one of the reasons that many do not understand how Spurs pulled this one off...

"Gio" Presented as Spurs Player

On the other hand, skeptics say that Barcelona only let him go because they have assessed that he is not good enough to make it. I think these statements are more out of jealousy than based on facts.

He had 28 games for Barca in this season, which was his debute season, scoring 3 goals.
Living in Barcelona I have seen him live a few times and I must say I am very excited about the prospect of seeing him at the Lane next season.
People have been doubting his physical presence but he his far more powerfull in his play than for example Bojan. (Fellow team mate at Barcelona) So I am not so concerned about this topic.

But what I can not figure out is were will Ramos play him? On the left/right or as a striker??
Do you have any ideas toughts about were he would be of best use??

A Different Kind of Samba Star to Make Rhythms at The Lane

Tottenham did last week comfirmed what we all were hoping for, they have signed a new number 1 in Brazilian Heurelho Gomes!
Something I personally think is a marvelous signing!

But, I have seen on other blogs that some fans are not as sure as I am, and think he is no better than Paul "can't catch a ball if my life depend on it" Robinson.
Don't get me wrong, I have loads of respect for Paul but his form the last two seasons have been horrible.

But my reason for this blog is to give you some facts and reasons for changing your impression of Gomes, or simply just confirm what a lot of you think already.

Facts:

He has held 60% clean-sheets in his Eredivisie matches, only in history to do that!
(And those of you that argue that the Dutch leauge is "s**t" can just look at the players coming from there the last two decades)

He have had 3 periods in which he has gone for 817, 956 and 976 minutes without conceding a goal.

He won the Eredivisie Division in all of his seasons with PSV. (Winning mentality)

Some have also pointed out to me that he was not popular among the fans in Holland and to prove you guys wrong I have added a video underneath.

Will The Croatian General Command In The EPL?

The Croatian I am talking about is of course Tottenhams new midfield dynamo Luca Modric!
Will he be a success or will he fail as so many before him??

Many followed him during the European Champinship since he was already comfirmed as a Spurs player before this, and if we are to judge him out of that I will say he will become a HUGE success! Then again I tought this about Darren Bent too.... (still haven't given up on him)

But back to Luka Modric, the way he controlled Croatias games was nothing less that impressive. Every creative offensive play went trough him, either he started a counter attack or he had the final pass that made the chance. The way he bossed around with Germany gives me great hope that he will be able to do it in the Premier Leauge too!

What do you think? Will he succeed or will he fail?

Give me your toughts and ideas!!

Not only did he boss around against Germany, he did the same two times against England in the qualifier.
