Teemu's A Fan!

By PoshSpur

Our newboy Teemu Tainio is a lifelong Spurs fan!

The Finish midfielder spoke about his dream of playing at the Lane on Spurs official site.

It's great having players sign that are dedicated fans. Jurgen Klinsmann is a Spurs fan and goodness me did it show!

Ok, it doesn't always mean that a player that is a Spurs fan will wear his heart on his sleeve. Our ex-skipper proved that!

If Teemu can emulate even half of Jurgen's attitude, then he'll go down as being a Spurs favorite also as well as Robbo, Ginola, & Klinsmann.

  1. I really like the sound of this player. He said he prefers to play in the centre but it's great to hear he's so versitile.
  2. I can't see him getting a game, Carrick, Mendes & Davis are all ahead of him in the pecking order and the wings are now covered with Reid/Ziegler and Routledge/Lennon.

    Why don't we look at where we really need to strengthen, up front and not with Vassell or Lua Lua. We need a top quality big man, how about Koller?
  3. this site is just total bollocks.
  4. Won't get a game, he is better than Carrick. He will be first choice it will be just be who plays with him
  5. If he can score more than 2 goals a season unlike the rest of our existing midfield, he's a starter for me.

    I dont think their is much wrong with our strike force, its the supply I wonder about.
  6. I really believe that the first choice midfield, provided there are no more transfers between now and opening day will be tainio and carrick in the middle and routledge and reid on the wings.

    We'll see throughout pre season how good our new players are
  7. This player is quality and would be my first choice with Carrick.
  8. How do you know that Carrick and co are ahead of him? Mendes couldnt buy a starting place even when he was fit. (even though I couldnt understand why he wasnt playing).

    The fella has good reports and he is a winner and a proven international.

    and by the way...I know we all loved Jurgen but he wasnt a die-hard spurs fan before he came to us. He just loved his time here (not enough to stay I might add)
  9. If you want to slate this site, at least have the decency of stating your name and not posting your rubbish as an anonymous user.
  10. We need to strengthen the midfield, but the attacking side of it.

    Then we can look for strikers.

    I have been told that the Kanoute to Man City story is true. They haven't yet tabled a bid, but will do within the next 5 days. Not sure how much they will fork out.

    It looks as though SWP will leave them.
  11. Lack of attitude is one thing that Teemu Tainio can never be accused.

    First eleven is where he belongs.
  12. Rosicky would be an instant hit. We're not in the CL, so he may prove difficult to get.
  13. Whoever puts Sean (nothing) Davis ahead of Tainio can't have watched any Spurs games last year. You seem to be forgetting Brown as well, the mans injured not dead. I haven't really seen much of Teemu, butI like his attitude already, and have heard only good things about him. Davis on the other hand, we should cut our losses and sell him to a championship side where he belongs!!

    Oh and as for £3 mill for Gardner, what a result! never really lived up to the promise!
  14. There better not be any Dwarfs in here
  15. ROFL
    Better than Carrick?? are you having a girrafe? Carricks our main man. Tainio has a great shot on him and i dont think Mendes will have a looking next year, it will be Carrick and prob either Brown, or Tainio in the middle. Also we got that new fella, Stalteri?? were will he go then?

    Also COME ON 2012!!!!
  16. Stalteri - Left back!!! no more Atouba, and we have reliable cover in Edman
  17. Stalteri has played mainly at right back, but can play as a right wing back or in a defensive right sided midfield role.
  18. Think transfers so far have been positive without being exciting. Really hope there is an exciting forward / attacking midfielder to come. I really feel goal threat/ creative spark in midfield is a weakness at present. And the names linked in last few days (Vassell, Lua Lua, Harewood) are painfully lame to say the least.
  19. Seems to be alot of argueing in here about which players we want or need but one thing is for certain, most people agree that its an attacking midfielder. ok, thats true but do you not think we need more cover in defence??? Naybet will not last every game of the season and with gardner going that leaves us with 3 youngers, dawson, davenport and huddlestone and although they do look like they will be good players we do need someone with experience to partner Ledley... any suggestions???
  20. I suggest Dawson to partner King. We have enough cover in central defence. Even Pamarot and Stalteri can be our short term fix.
  21. Lucky us, Teemu's a very very cultured player.

    BTW, he's played mainly as a holding midfielder and scored at most 3 goals per season. Maybe Carrick can play in a more attacking position.
  22. although he hasn't played european football, he has played some important international games, France, King has enough experiance to carry our defence. With Dawson under his guidance he can become a great player.

    Bit worrying when you think the Captain of our team, isn't even experienced enough to lead our defence?!
  23. I hate dwarfs
  24. He's not a Dwarf, he's a munchkin. A Dwarf is a battler, didn't Lord Of The Rings, teach you anything?. How many times did you see Villa Battle last season, except against relegation.
  25. When I saw Teemu playing for Auxerre against Ajax he was right midfield and played poorly, being subbed after 70 mins. Hope he can do better.
