Roman Pavlyuchenko might be on his way out of Spurs despite the closure of our transfer window, with Russian clubs apparently allowed to sign players until mid-March and Lokomotiv Moscow still with a £9.6m bid on the table. Another player possibly leaving the Tottenham squad is Jonathan Woodgate, who might hang up his boots with Tottenham’s medical staff “baffled” by his latest inury and “running out of ideas”. (Guardian)
Just when we thought the transfer window was shut we find that in Russia things are still very much on the go. Does that mean that Roman can leave White Hart Lane though? I guess that Lokomotiv would have checked that all out before making the move for our bench warmer. Having allowed Robbie Keane to leave Tottenham Pavlyuchenko might still think that he has something of a future at the club but I am afraid he will still find it hard to get a game with Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch ahead of him and Eidur Gudjohnsen newly arrived at the club.
As for Woody, well fingers crossed he can find his way out of this injury nightmare. It seems that he can never quite get fit and clearly he has some severe problems and in a year or two may find himself in a Ledley King type situation that leaves him very debilitated and only able to play sparingly and hardly able to cope with a standard training regime.
Eidur Gudjohnsen took less than a minute to open his Spurs account in a training ground friendly against Dagenham & Redbridge at Spurs Lodge on Tuesday.
The forward marked his first appearance just days after arriving from Monaca with two goals in a 4-1 win against the Daggers. Jon Obika also scored twice.
Eidur was joined in the side by fellow new recruit Younes Kaboul and both played 90 minutes in a friendly that ticked all the boxes for Development Coach Clive Allen.
“Eidur must have scored with his first touch,” reported Clive. “Jon Obika closed the goalkeeper down, blocked his clearance and the ball spun out to Eidur and he finished from about 12 yards.
“Jon scored two excellent goals after that. His first was a left-foot shot into the top corner from the edge of the box and his second a finish at the far post after a break from Andros Townsend.
“Dagenham scored just before half-time to make it 3-1 and Eidur scored his second and our fourth with a near-post header from Jon Bostock’s corner midway through the second half.
“It was ideal for Eidur as he’s worked hard with the fitness coaches over the weekend but he needed a game from a match fitness point of view and just to get to know everyone. It was a real benefit for him.” (Official Tottenham Site)
I have a good feeling about the Iceman. He really is a top notch player with great vision and ability and I am chuffed to see him in at the club and it seems that with age he has become a cleverer player and uses the ball very well and should offer us a new attacking option.
Looking forward to tonight’s game and hoping that we can get past what is clearly a Leeds side on the up and up and definitely going to give us another fantastic battle and Elland Road will be raucous atmospheric place to be and I will be making my way there shortly (if you read this later hopefully we have done the business).
