Whatever the hell you think is going on at Chelsea right now, whatever you think the club is
mired in A Carlo-esque bad moment, crisis, et al. it doesn't matter. What we all can agree on is
that anything less than a win this weekend at home to Wolves is going to see the shit hit the
proverbial fan.
Quick Reminder, Real Life Despite a load of money spent on transfer window signings, Wolves found
themselves in the relegation zone on the last day of the season but miraculously survived -
finishing the season with 40 points - only one more than both Birmingham and Blackpool. Despite a
-20 goal difference on the season, Wolves had some memorable wins at home (they beat Manchester
United and
It's been a funny old week in Planet Tottenham. After the Modric mess of last weekend, it's all
gone slightly quiet on that particular front. After the startling admission from Moddle that he
wanted to jump ship and climb aboard the Villas Boas revolution a Stamford Bridge and Daniel Levy's
frank rebuttal of those plans, we were all expecting further fireworks.
Hazing the new guy Note: This was written yesterday, but didn't post for whatever reason. Sky
Sports is reporting that Wolves have finalized their long-expected signing of Jamie O'Hara from
Spurs. Owner-chairman Steve Morgan has revealed Wolves still have other targets in mind this summer
after completing their move for Jamie O'Hara.
The long protracted deal involving Jamie O'Hara was finally come to fruition with confirmation
of his transfer to Wolves. The 24 year old joins on a five year deal following a loan spell with
the West Midlands club for a fee worth £5m.
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy is certainly pleased with the deal: "Jamie made a big impact when he
first came here," he said.
It may be one of the candidates for the least surprising piece of transfer news this summer, but
it would seem that the Jamie O'Hara saga is about to come to a conclusion. Reports are coming
through that the player has already agreed personal terms with Wolves and the ink is expected on a
£5m deal any day now.
While we ran the rule over Steven Pienaar yesterday, another Spurs midfielder was receiving
great praise from his manager. However, the player in question was Jamie O'Hara and the manager was
Mick McCarthy of Wolves – Jamie's loan club.
If it hadn't been for the problems at crisis club Portsmouth, O'Hara may well have left the club
last season and if Wolves secure Premiership survival, the player's Spurs career could be finally
over.
t was pointed out on here in one of the comments that it's not that easy to get rid of our
fringe players if nobody wants them. Players such as Bale and Modric are naturally going to be in
demand but there aren't exactly a flood of rumours concerning the likes of O'Hara, Bentley and
Keane.
The news that Wolves striker Kevin Doyle could miss the rest of the season must have rocked all
those associated with the club. Doyle lasted a total of 20 minutes in the Republic of Ireland's
Euro 2012 qualifying win over Macedonia before limping off with a knee injury.
Republic of Ireland coach Giovanni Trappattoni has claimed Doyle has suffered medial ligament
damage and will be out for one or two months, news that Wolves had yet to deny or confirm.
Spurs as a club may not have been in action over the weekend but there were plenty of Tottenham
players on show for various clubs.
At West Brom, Jamie O'Hara scored a stunning goal for Wolves to earn a 1-1 draw, while David
Bentley was a second half substitute in Birmingham's 3-0 FA Cup win over Sheffield Wednesday.
Could the exit door have the name of Jermaine Jenas written on it by the end of the transfer
window?
While many have expected a mini exodus of Spurs' midfielders this month, JJ wasn't reckoned to
be one of them, but with Aston Villa suddenly finding the money they denied Martin O'Neill, they
have supposedly asked Tottenham to ‘name their price'.
Putting rumour and gossip aside for one second there have been some updates on our walking
wounded this week.
Both Jamie O'Hara and Johnathan Woodgate featured in our friendly against Charlton on Tuesday.
O'Hara played for 70 minutes, as he looks to prove his fitness ahead of a proposed January
move.
Midfielders Jamie O'Hara & Niko Kranjcar both seem almost certain to be headed for the exit door
this month, either on a temporary or permanent basis.
Over the weekend, the Teamtalk website first announced that Kranjcar had confirmed his desire to
leave the club. The catalyst seems to have been the arrival of Steven Pienaar.
Remember Jamie O'Hara? With the arrival of Steven Pienaar adding to the embarrassment of riches
in midfield, there are truly some forgotten men in the ranks at Tottenham.
O'Hara, whose last competitive outing was last season's F A Cup final while playing for
Portsmouth against Chelsea, took his place in a strong Spurs XI that demolished a QPR side 9-2 on
Tuesday.
