Now we are very happy to hear that Carlo Cudicini is well on the mend after his horror bike accident. To help him recover and indeed so the rest of you can have a good gander, here is a former conquest of the Tottenham keeper and I think you'll all agree she is a very attractive woman, even when made to pose under a very large leaf (see below).

Italian goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini has joined Tottenham Hotspur on a free transfer after 10 years at Stamford Bridge. Here's a first look at the former Chelsea keeper in the Tottenham goalie strip. The 35-year-old was once voted the best goalkeeper in England but has been second choice to Petr Cech for the last five years.

Can be a very useful asset at White Hart Lane. Luka Modric was spectacular last night, again looking worth every penny of that £16.5m we paid. He looks a lot more effective at the Lane where he probably gets more time on the ball and more freedom but there are no two ways about it, he's quality.
Obviously, Stoke at home is a game we should be winning comfortably but considering the position we are in currently, the pressure on the players last night was huge.

Carlo Cudicini, the Tottenham goalkeeper, fractured his wrists and injured his pelvis after being involved in a road accident this morning. A spokesman for London's Metropolitan police said the ambulance service and an emergency helicopter had attended the scene and found the 36-year-old motorcyclist suffering from injuries described by medics as "possibly life-changing".

Latest rumours from the Lane...

Matt Upson is a player Harry Redknapp is very keen on. He had an enquiry rebuffed in January but will be going back with a further approach in the summer. Although the Tottenham defence is solid, Redknapp believes he still needs another top class centre half especially if his side make it into Europe next season.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has refused to close the door on Heurelho Gomes after insisting he has yet to choose his No 1 goalkeeper. The Brazilian has endured a tough debut season in the Barclays Premier League since his £7.8m summer transfer from PSV Eindhoven. After taking over at Tottenham this season, Redknapp signed Carlo Cudicini in [.

Who could give Peter Čech a run for his money?

The latest news on the transfer window comings and goings in the English Premier League: Spurs continue to be busy and sign Carlo Cudicini from Chelsea and Pascal Chimbonda from Sunderland.

One in, one out.
Not much new news this morning, the latest being the casualties from yesterday's Europa League matches. Those claimed Andy Johnson and will force Jack Rodwell and Steven Pienaar into the dreaded "late fitness test".
Spurs have lost Gomes for a while and so Cudicini will sit behind their make-shift back line.

No love lost!

This letter from Nicolas Sarkozy's office requesting a box at Croke Park on the weekend kicks off what may be the great diplomatic blowup since WWII. Some, all or none if this may be true/legit. What's inarguable is that it's fantastically hilarious. Well wishes for bike accident victim Carlo Cudicini.

A few more slightly interesting transfers happening in the Premier League again today, with Spurs already having signed Carlo Cudicini they have also gone back to former employee Pascal Chimbonda in a rather surprising move. Seems to be one step forward and one step back at White Hart Lane, really don't see why they would [.

What is it with Spurs keepers? It doesn't seem to matter which goalkeeper Harry Redknapp picks, the end result is the same. Heurelho Gomes has become a comedy figure after his string of howlers this season, while new signing Carlo Cudicini is quickly making himself at home at White Hart Lane with some high-profile blunders of [.

Good times. No, awesome times. Wonder goals by Ray Parlour and Freddie"Orange Hair" Ljungberg.

It always comes as a bit of a shock: The number of English players in the 2002 squad:

Parlour, Keown, Adams, Dixon, Campbell, Cole, Wright, and Seaman.

It puts into context the snide criticism of Wenger as one of the culprits held responsible for undermining the national game by encouraging the foreign invasion.

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini has suffered "potentially life-changing injuries" in a motorbike accident in east London, police said.

He was taken to hospital after his BMW bike was involved in a collision with a car this morning. Cudicini is reported to have fractured his wrists and injured his pelvis.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has received a two-match touchline ban for his comments about referee Alan Wiley's fitness. The Football Association handed the 67-year-old a four-game ban, with two of those suspended until the end of the 2010/11 season.

Carlo Cudicini the Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper has suffered ‘potentially life-changing injuries' as the result of crashing his motorbike early this morning.

The crash occurred at 10:30am GMT on Forest Road in Walthamstow East London. The collision involved a Ford Fiesta containing a female driver and a child, both of whom walked away from the incident and did not require hospital treatment.

One of the last remnants of the pre-Roman era of Chelsea has finally moved on.

Goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini agreed a move today to Tottenham on a free transfer. It was a move that many of us assumed would happen each season for the past three. However, it never did as Carlo's loyatly to the Blues continued to shine.

Tottenham announced today that they have successfully signed both Pascal Chimbonda, and Carlo Cudicini from Sunderland and Chelsea. In Chimbonda's case I guess he really missed White Hart Lane because he just left only 6 months ago and now he's back. For Cudicini, he was most likely brought in to challenge Gomes for some playing time seeing how Gomes has been in awful form for what seems like forever.

Head coach Pep Guardiola fielded a "B" team against Tottenham Hotspur in the first round of the Wembley Cup on Friday. During the match Guardiola was able to get 22 players on the field as starts Messi, Henry, Valdes, Marquez and Hleb watched from the stands.

from SkySports:

Tottenham are sweating on the fitness of goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes after he picked up an injury in the win at Hull City.

Gomes was forced to limp off in the first half of Spurs' 5-1 victory at the KC Stadium after sustaining a thigh injury.

The Brazilian is due to undergo scans on the problem and it is feared Gomes could face a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Apart from a Paul Scholes sending off, this was a very impressive Manchester United performance. United bounced back from the shock of conceding a goal within the first minute, pushing for an equaliser as soon as, and for the duration of the game, even after ten men down, were pretty organised and unlike the Arsenal game were not lacking any attacking ideas.

So much for that then. The sizzling atmosphere generated by the White Hart Lane crowd worked in part for Jermain Defoe's sensational opener but United's multiple Premier League winning experience was simply too much of a barrier for us to break down. First defeat of the season. It's the end of the world.

Tim Howard played a blinder in his first season at United, so much so, he was named PFA Keeper of the Year. It is important to note he fought off competition from Jens Lehmann who had just enjoyed an unbeaten season with Arsenal and Chelsea's Carlo Cudicini, who both conceded fewer goals than him.
