Last season was a mixed campaign for many Spurs players and Aaron Lennon was one of those who ended the year with his Spurs career seemingly at a crossroads.

The season was punctuated with brief highlights including his winner over Liverpool while the low points seemed to start with his late withdrawal from the side to face Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

njuries aside, Steven Pienaar's career is stagnating and many felt that the former Everton winger was already surplus to requirements when he joined the club last winter. It could be a long wait before he makes his way back into the Spurs first team and it seems that his former employers may now be preparing a move to take him back to Merseyside.

As Spurs prepare for their Europa League match with Shamrock Rovers this week, the big question once again will be over team selection. Harry Redknapp has taken the opportunity to blood some of the youngsters in the squad and the likes of Harry Kane, Andros Townsend and Tom Carroll have all been given the chance to show their long term value to the club.

True enough, it's only the Third Round of the League Cup and both of the teams playing this evening, whether rightly or wrongly, may well feel that they have bigger fish to fry than this competition this season. There is, however, something in the sea air in Brighton this evening. The trains into the railway station are jammed solid and the queue for the trains out to The American Express Community Stadium snakes out of the station and around the concourse outside.

Gareth Bale: Younes, I'm worried. My career is at a crossroads. I feel that I've proved myself at club level, I've attracted interest from a number of sides and realistically, after my performances against Inter I could have gone anywhere.

But I decided to stay at Spurs.

August 28th, 2011. A day that will live in infamy.....for Arsenal fans at least. But more importantly, a day where two long time rivals met at the crossroads of their careers do establish their paths for the future. "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" as the song goes, truly is an apt title for what took place at Old Trafford [.

The 29 year old Liverpool midfielder has not had a good 12 months at Anfield.

Signed on a free from Chelsea by Christian Purslow (idiot) and Roy Hodgson, the England International has failed to get game-time under Kenny Dalglish since January.

In my life - outside of family - there are three people who have influenced me the most, whom I can point to as being a true role model for me. One was Paul Oberjuerge, my former editor at The San Bernardino Sun, who gave me my start in journalism and allowed me to cover soccer back in 1998. The other was a trainer I had at my local gym, whom you will hear about soon enough.

How many times over the past couple of years have we seen players and officials associated with Barcelona speak about Cesc Fabregas? We now have the manager of Manchester City pretty much begging Samir Nasri to join him in Manchester.

The first few times it is a bit irritating after a while it becomes maddening eventually it's just humiliating.

Like we saw with Danny Rose yesterday, there are several young players in the Tottenham ranks who are facing the decision as to whether another loan spell is needed or whether the time has come to make them regular members of the first team squad.

John Bostock is similar in that sense but the problem seems to be that loan spells and John don't go that well together.

We've unexpectedly arrived at a crossroads. I haven't crunched all the scenarios that the US requires for advancement, but the most important one is win and you're in. If the US loses, a result nobody is doubting at this point, the US can still advance to the quarterfinal stage if Panama gets a result against Canada today.

It's widely known that Man Utd have adopted a couple of firm policies when it comes to player dealings.

Firstly, they want to stick to players under 26 years old when it comes to bringing in new faces to retain a potential resale value.

Secondly, they won't allow existing players to enter into the last two years of their contracts if at all possible.

At the end of the 2009/2010 season, Milan were at a crossroads. The Rossoneri hadn't won anything important since 2007 when Kaka carried an aging squad to a surprise Champions League victory. Domestically, Milan hadn't been crowned champions of Italy since 2004. Even worse, rivals Inter had just won the last 5 Scudetti and came off the best season in their entire history, winning a.

Your dreams are china in your hand.......................

‘Don't push too far your dreams are china in your hand'. The lyrics of this well-known, and somewhat tacky song by T'pau in 1987, came to my mind when I read recent comments regarding Arsène Wenger's position on a variety of Arsenal websites.

It seems odd that a player of 19 may have reached the ‘crossroads' of a career, but John Bostock seems to fit that scenario at the moment. John has been discussed before, but his situation has moved on slightly with a return to Tottenham and a couple of goals at Spurs Lodge that have capped some reports of good overall form.

It's a warm evening in North London, halfway between the full bloom of spring and the cloying heat of the summer, and White Hart Lane is on edge. This evening's derby match between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal finds both clubs at a crossroads. Spurs' advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League may have created the mirage that playing in the competition again next season was something like a certainty, but the truth of the matter is that qualification for it at the end of last season was a massive achievement in itself.

Somewhat predictably there's something of a Harry backlash today and although most of it is thoughtful and considered, the odd headline uses phrases such as ‘losing the dressing room.'

The Telegraph in particular seems to have it in for Redknapp and after printing a piece by Alan Hansen before the Madrid game suggesting he had taken Tottenham as far as he could, an article by Jason Burt claims that he has reached a ‘crossroads'.
