Who's Harry about to buy?

THBN - Tottenham Hotspur Blog News 31 August @ 05:57 AM EST
Our great win against the Brum was truly marred by The Modfather's leg fracturing and Ledley suffering a groin injury.

I suppose the one bit of good news is that Woody came through his first training session on Friday. I'm not sure how long he'll still be out for though, but seeing as we don't play for two weeks, he could be fit in time for our biggest test yet, Manchester United at home, although I don't think he'll be match-fit.

The £11m Man Who Could Lead Liverpool To the Title

Great Player, Great Price!

Just supposing that Owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett do want to retain an ounce of credibility at Anfield and that they do have the decency to give Rafa some of the cash from the Xabi Alonso sale to the Liverpool boss before the transfer window closes then this is the player who could well take the club that bit nearer to the ending their domestic league hoodoo.

The £11m Playmaker Arsenal Should Make Room in the Midfield For

Caught Offside 24 August @ 09:20 AM EST

Wenger should seriously consider bringing this guy to the Emirates.

There will be some who believe that the Gunners have enough players of an attacking nature and who do not believe a move for Rafael Van der Vaart makes sense, but I beg to differ.

The adaptable attacking midfielder who could well prove a very intelligent acquisition and one who can play in a number of positions and take some of the pressure from our captain whilst giving the club another angle to our attack.
