Some real potential in JJ and Tommy H but we don't see it often enough. JJ must realise its now or never for him. I agree Hornchurch.

Unless he steps up his game then we will need to replace him. He should be a fantastic player but there is something that is holding him back. Maybe he just can't be arsed enough? The same for Didier Z. Unless he cuts it as a defensive midfielder then we have to look elsewhere. Maybe Ramos has already decided? Frings will be 32 in November so I'm not sure he has the legs left. If only big bad Tom could add some real steel to his game then he would be a good defensive option. He certainly has the passing ability. Nicola Berti anyone?????

I think someone of that mold like Frings would give Luka the opportunity to run the attack without having to stay back so much. That stopper in midfield would allow Juande to really utilize the attacking talent and speed we have now with Giovani, Luka, Bale, etc. If we could get a player in the mold of a Frings or de Jong, I think our attack and counter-attack would be much more potent. I think of how the loss of Makelele from Madrid to Chelsea a few years ago really damaged that team, even though they had Zidane, Figo, Guti, Raul, Roberto Carlos, etc. I agree Brownpants.

Ive been very impressed with him throughout the tournament as Germany's holding midfielder and i think he would slot it well to Spurs midfield alongside Modric. Obviously that would mean that Zokora, Jenas and such like would have to consider their roles within the team, but i rekon that Frings and Modric in the midlle would be a decent combo, possibly the best midfield 2 we have seen at the lane in years. Pairing that with Bentley on the right (?) and Dos Santos (?) on the left, i rekon thats pretty potent. am i living in dreamworld or what???
