kyle naughton

We could have a new signing by the end of this week!

It looks as though we've gazumped Everton to the signing of Sheffield United's promising right-back, Kyle Naughton. Various ITK's have said that it's a done deal (heard that one before).

I personally have never seen the lad play. I hadn't even heard his name mentioned before the media jumped all over this story.

You can read up on Steve Claridge's comments on the player here.

If we do sign him, isn't £5 million a bit too much for an unproven Premier League player?

  1. It is a done deal m8. He has already been photographed at Spurs Lodge holding the new home kit along with Harry.
  2. Where's the photo then?
  3. Yeah where the hell did u see that photo then??
  4. What the hell are we buying another right back for? Don't they know we've already got 12? Perhaps we're trying to corner the market.
  5. He is a very good player and if we do sign him i think we should loan him straight back to get more 1st team football
  6. He's currently in the raddison in liverpool
  7. I thought harry was down in exeter ?
  8. I thought spurs were at a training camp in the south west.
  9. He is definitely at the Raddison.
  10. I also see him outside the Raddison this Morning
  11. spurs, where young players go to ruin their careers
  12. Scout you own players FGS...
  13. You gonna buy back Berbatov this year then?
  14. it mean corlka an play as cb instead of king or woodgate and wecan get rid of pascal
  15. as an everton fan i just wanna laugh at your club, how many right backs do you want your buying 2 off sheff utd, and 1 doesn't even want to join you (Naughton) only sheff utd want to him to join you.the amusing thing about it all is you'll still be useless.. White hart lane is were players go to retire. nxt season you'll have 7 right backs and 2 left backs and not a decent FIT centre back but 2 decent crocked ones...... tottenham like newcastle our abit of a joke when it comes to signing players, you always pay to much on players you don't need Hutton, Bentley, dos santos and many many more.
  16. Com on spurs,get ashley young and huntarlaar
  17. Can someone shed light on to the sightings of him at the Raddison in Liverpool?
  18. Well he was spotted with a Mr Joao Moutinho checking in at the reception. It looks like he is off to Everton.
  19. Oi everton fan, sort out your stadium. it's full of wood worms and termites. Just remmember that everton was, the joke of the north.
  20. he cant be that good or the bigger side in scouse land would have bought him....coys
  21. that cant be right? Joao Moutinho, he wnt go there, sporting have just declared him as 'indespensable'
  22. at least we can finish in the top 5 even though spurs are meant to finish higher than us every year :)
  23. To the Everton fan who posted above. You know a lot more about my club than I know about yours.

    I think that tells you everything :)
  24. i just like a flutter mate and i notice these things :)
  25. Sheff U web site player profile says left or right back.
  26. I like the fact you used WAS the joke of the north now hows that numb nuts just like you we've had a glittering past oh sorry we've been more successful than spurs fact.. oh we our the 4th most successful club in english football i think your behind villa and chelsea well at least your top ten.....lol. We've finished in the top 6 in 4 of the last 5 seasons and were moving forward were as your boys seem to be a bunch of fake footballers all the talent but no substance for the fight and when someone says spirit to them they all think about a night out on the spirits. I know like all everton fans wot we'll get from our team and manager 100% when did you last see that at the lane.... the reason he's in liverpool is coz he doesn't want to join you he wants a career not a jolly up with the rest of your big money reseves.
  27. He wad with an everton delegation in the raddison this morning
  28. Naughton at left back, Bale out on loan?
  29. Lol wobbly head does not even know his strongest possition
  30. Tenaciousj is mint :D i think we should all chant it...nice ring to it eh? :P
  31. A lot of Everton ITK's are saying that they've signed him.

    To SpuroogleITK, please let us know where you saw a photograph of Harry and Naughton at Spurs Lodge (if such a photo really exists).
  32. who cares about everton like bloody hell man what trophies you won in last ten years not that we have won loads but its more than you, everton have gone backwards since finsihing 4th just like ourselves ye old scouse knob jocky, your gonna end up ground sharing cos ya tight fucks and p.s ya keeper got tarets syndrome fool and ya managers a sweaty sock
  33. Thanks for the link to the scouting report. I was curious to find out more info about this kid. Obviously, we are always linked day-in day-out with players and we don't know what is true or false.

    For the Everton fans, just wanted to highlight that the press constantly links us with players because of our status and heritage within the Premier League. That should tell you a lot about Spurs and what other teams aspire to be. It does not matter where we finish; we are viewed as one of the top clubs in England regardless. I must admit, I do like Everton's consistency and your squad. I always cheer for you guys to win against Liverpool!

    COYS!!!!!!
  34. "Everton are now thought to be very close to a deal after KN dug his heels in to speak to the toffees, the player arrived on Merseyside over the weekend and is staying in a city centre hotel".

  36. The standard of spelling in this thread is truly appalling, i mean the odd mistake is acceptable but we have people saying "our" instead of "are"... seriously WTF.

    I know football fans are traditionally thick as shit, but still...

    Fix the fuck up you bunch of illiterate mongs !
  37. breaking news...announced to the stock exchange that everton have managed to muster up 12% of vagner loves transfer fee "its taken 4 yrs and 3days but were pleased to have managed to save this much up said the everton chairman he continued...this means not cutting the grass next season or painting the stands but were hopeful that we have managed to get 12percent that cska will allow us to loan him for 5 yrs or so
  38. WTF is Tarets ?

    PMSL, Go back to school and pay attention this time

  41. I am also a big fan of Everton even though i'm a spurs fan, i view your team as the northern spurs, see we are not so different, only thing is we have money to waste, where are David Moyes signs great players, i wish we had Arteta. Modric and Palacios are great signings, i don't care if we sign these to Kyles either way, they will add nothing that we haven't got already. Sign Ashley Young, then i'll be happy. COYS

  43. Some deluded spurs fans on here, Yes you have won more cups than us in the last 10 years but it was the Mickey Mouse cup ffs, and we've went backwards since finishing 4th? You might think that but I would put it down to Liverpool getting their act together and becoming a better team, moving us out the top 4, ah well if Naughton wants to have red face 'arry redkidnap talk to him like he is off Only fools and horse's then go for it Kyle! If he wants to sucseed in football and be played regulary then a move to Everton or villa would be best option.
  44. Anyone interested in learning about Tourette's, please visit Tourette's Info.

    For those that are interested in us signing Naughton, stick around.
  45. We've just read an article about a player that has said that he will sign for us soon. The sources are fairly reliable.

    We'll prepare an article now and publish it later on.

    It's quite shocking (if true)!!
  46. As an Everton fan I have nothing against Spurs, in fact Spurs fans tend me very knowledgable and unbiased, obviously every fans have a set knobheads, as demonstrated in this thread. Spurs will be a threat this year under Redknapp.
  47. Turrets lol, gonna gun you down with my Turrets syndrome. ya sorry your names not tommy gun he only fights in the ring...i'm only kidding by the way, just let the spelling slide a little not all of us are as good as you, you must be a rich jew are you?

    as for everton i like them a lot i cant get my head round how cheap they sign people for and how good they get, flamini should of been ours but we did not want to raise from 9 to 11 but we splashed on bentley!!

    i'd be happy with bentley chimb and bent and maybe even jenas jogging on and bringing in ashley young, a rambo midfielder/defender and a powerhouse of a striker come on harry you must have some african warrior up your sleeve, do we really need the two full backs from sheff utd....bale and gunter are young and learning/ bae and corluka and hutton

    i'd like to see some of our kids coming through and see what gio is like surely cant go from a hatrick vs mallorca for barca to us to ipswich and beyong can he??!!

    p.s i am just p…
  48. naughton will not be talking to everton or villa,as soon as spurs came in for him his mind was made up, i've been told the signing will be announced following a medical tomorrow morning.

  50. honestly, what possible reason is there for him to join spurs ahead of villa and everton ?

    no disrespect to spurs fans but you in the eyes of neutrals your club is seen as a bit of a joke. it's a bit harsh as you have a good history and a solid loyal fanbase, it's just unfortunate that the people who run your club constantly make fools out of themselves which results in everyone laughing at spurs.

    getting back to naughton, all reports suggest he would rather go to goodison than spurs so i don't understand why people are saying stuff like "as soon as spurs cam in for him his mind was made up". What could spurs possibly offer him ? you don't exactly have a good recent history with youngsters coming through the ranks and you are already top heavy in the RB department. Combine that with no european football and the point i mentioned about neutrals not taking spurs seriously and it's hard to see what possible reason he would have for choosing spurs over everton …
  51. most players would sign for spurs on less wages rather than go to everton or villa.
    everton should try for chimbonda who is no longer wanted at spurs and would be a good signing for a club like everton.
  52. what do you base your theory that most players would sign for spurs on less wages ?

    you have less history, you are less successful, you are newcastle mk2 in the eyes of neutrals.

    i know it's hard to hear, but these are facts wether you like it or not
  53. You have to ask why spurs have decided to offer more money than everton when everton had already had a bid accepted. To me it's a clear sign that spurs know that Naughton would choose everton over spurs given the choice... so instead spurs decide to offer more money in the hope of outpricing everton.
  54. spurs haven't offered more money for naughton.
    we have gone for 2 players in our bid. naughton has already said once spurs came in for him his mind was made up. he will not be signing for everton. even doyle picked wolves above everton and lescott would prefer to go to city.
  55. The fact that history dictates Tottenham Hotspur being a bigger club than say Everton or Aston Villa is indisputable. Villa and Everton fans may question this, but I am pretty sure the general consensus agrees with the above point.

    I have also noticed a few that have come on here and talked about Tottenham ruining the careers of players.

    May I add the fact that each and every club has had its fair share of players that have gone wayward.

    Tottenham Hotspur are talked of as a club that many players and managers have gone to but never made the grade simply because of the publicity the club receives.

    Make no qualms about it, Tottenham Hotspur are a massive club with an abundance of potential.

    I am not for one second stating that we should be in the top four simply because of our status in the English game; far from it. But when it comes to a player deciding where to ply his trade (outside of the echelons of the top four consortium and Manchester City's wealth), Tottenham Hotspur is most likely the preferred choice.
  56. in what way are you a bigger club ? history dictates the complete opposite to what you are saying

    everton have won more trophies and more league titles (league titles being the most important factor by far). both teams have similar size fanbases. everton have been in top flight football longer than anyone else (equal with arsenal).

    you are going to have to come up with SOLID FACTS if you are going to claim that spurs are a bigger club.
  57. ^^ based on what really? ^^
  58. the comment at 12.56 was to posh
  59. "naughton has already said once spurs came in for him his mind was made up."

    lol, christ you must be desperate if you are resorting to making stuff up.

    show me a link to the quote pls
  60. spurs= first non league team to win fa cup

    spurs= first to win double

    spurs beat chelsea in a cup final with ramos

    everton lost theres

    harry won an fa cup with pompy
  61. just heard flamini is on his way to spurs 7.5mil
  62. lol, those are the weakest reasons ever.

    you gotta come with something better than that

    you have won the league a grand total of two times, the last time being in 1961. PMSL

    everton have won it 9 times, thats more than 4x more than spurs.
  63. everton your poop go to your fans page
  64. you're not your

    if we are poop what does that make spurs
  65. In my opinion, by the "history" definition, I am taking into account the financial stability of a club, not just the past glories.

    By "history", I state that there is ample evidence which shows that players with superior status in world football have graced the turf of White Heart Lane than of Goodison.

    By "history", I define the fact that on the continent, the name Tottenham Hotspur means something whereas you'll be hard pressed to find a group that know of Everton or Villa.

    In my opinion, everything counts towards the greatness of a football club, not simply the trophies that reside in a cabinet.
  66. THBN welcomes all fans that want to talk about football. We do not welcome comments from any fans (including Spurs fans) that are in any way derogatory.

    Keep the subject to football.

    Everton fans, you are most welcome to share your views.

    Personally, I view Everton and Liverpool fans to be the most knowledgeable fans in England.

    Spurs fans, some of you are beginning to sound like Newcastle fans. Please grow up.

  67. Some Spurs forums are claiming that Flamini is a new target. Can't see it happening myself as we cannot match his £85,000 per week wages.
  68. its a shoe in that naughton will join everton tomorrow. the sticking point was sheff utd need a full back,that has been solved with hibbert going the other way.

    hibbert had a medical this morning, and his heel and sole problem is now cleared up ,and he passed the medical without a hitch.
  69. yes lots of things count, however financial stability has nothing to do with it, that really is clutching at straws.

    as for your players with superior status, pls list them...

    as for your on the continent comment, you have no proof of that whatsoever. it's just an assumption, at least i am coming with solid facts.

    anyone who is neutral and knows the history of english football knows that everton are historically the bigger club. i don't even know why im discussing this, it shouldn't even be debatable.
  70. Very interesting reading all the posts. We have clearly upset a few scousers going for naughton.
    From what I gather stoke want him to go to Us (spurs) because we will also buy walker and then loan him back to them in a combined deal. 11m is being banded around.

    As to what we have that makes us more attractive than Everton and Villa, simply put London. Lets face it Liverpool and Birmingham are no comparison.
  71. I Think the fact that Spurs are in London is a big selling point for European players coming to England but I think that in the media maybe spurs are the bigger team but anyone with even the smallest footballing knowledge would say that historically and currently Everton are the biggest/most ambitious/ well run club of the 2.
  72. historically everton are the bigger club...just

    european games spurs are historically better we actually better ranked than the gooners there

    players:

    lets say last 15 or so years

    bakayoko <<<<< klinsmann

    pat nevin <<<<<< ginola

    rideout <<<<<< sheringham

    no arguement as to who have had the better players

    even andy gray on fifa 09 says with all the stars that tottenham have had they should have won much more

    if jol was aloud to continue and not have commoli getting in the way we would have maintained 5th spot but s**t happens remember the food poisoning we had 4th there more or less
  73. This Beckham rumour is not going away. I cant see where he would fit in. But a good example for the younger guys to follow. Interesting one. Im kinda hoping he does. How does everyone else feel.

    Brightonspur.
  74. Yes i will admit, london is a lot nicer than liverpool and birmingham although tbh london is still a bit of a shit hole (i should know i live here).

    London is obviously more attractive to foreigners but naughton is a northerner, northerners traditionally hate southerners.

    So who knows, i think naughton wants to go to everton but i think he will go to spurs because everton won't stump up the extra 1 million necessary.
  75. Bigger club don't make me laugh. That whole word has been ruined by uneducated football fans to describe their club. the vey meaning of it is distorted to an extent that renders it useless

    Everton are one of the oldest most successful clubs England has.

    Spurs are successful but only in the last 5 years or so because of spending are being seen as a big club.

    At the end of the day none of it matters

    Look Poshspur big or small postition counts for everything we have finished higher than the joke you call a team in the last 4 or 5 seasons.
  76. Wow we have really wound up a few Evertonians today. I think some of the comments are a little just. However this debate is being argued on a spurs website. I would not be seen dead on a everton one. Despite your lofty position in past years in the league, the best players will still join us over you. There is just a better feel about our club. Good stadium, wealthy, attractive style of
    football, glamorous and we are in London.

    Brightonspur.

  78. Tottenham are just another over ambitious side who spend too much and have a shed load of average over priced players.

    If a team ever was more a victim of the modern game it was Spurs.

    Everton have the better manager, the smaller net spend and the better league finishes over the past few years.

    You're not going to break the top 4 so give it up and revert back to the Carling Cup.
  79. << the name Tottenham Hotspur means something whereas you'll be hard pressed to find a group that know of Everton or Villa.>>
    On what basis is the "fact" made then????
    This is the funniest thread I've ever read.
    I don't really go for the "We're a bigger club than you" arguments but really the facts are that Spurs are no way in the same bracket as Everton or Villa when it comes to stature in the game. Both are founder members of the football league. Saying Spurs were the first non-league team to win the FA Cup is not really one you can use at Everton and Villa as they have never been a non-league team!!!!
  80. Andy Taylor of Tranmere is joining Sheff. UTD full back. So im pretty sure Hibbert is not.

    Brightonspur.
  81. If everton thinks that there are a bigger club than villa and spurs, then sort out your rotten wood stadium and start buying top players that worth more than 5million, cheap skate. If everton don't back him up, watch, moyes will be off back to rangers.
  82. This has become a slagging match.
    Utter Wank.
  83. the hibbert comment was a pisstake as was the moutinho one

    as for the all time prem table, this is about HISTORY... history is longer than the premier league. why don't we take a look at the all time top division table which you conveniently ignored

    CORRECT

    END OF ARGUEMENT

    EVERTON BACK TO YOUR PAGE
  85. "If everton thinks that there are a bigger club than villa and spurs, then sort out your rotten wood stadium and start buying top players that worth more than 5million, cheap skate. If everton don't back him up, watch, moyes will be off back to rangers."

    pmsl at using "spend more than 5m on players" arguement. do you think we should follow spurs example of spending stupid money on players like bent and bentley. the fact everton spend so little and do so well is a massive positive. we sign players for cheap and turn them into great players. arteta, cahill, lescott, jagielka, pienaar... all cost peanuts and would now sell for big money.

    i think you need to realise that everton are doing it the correct way, spurs are (for the most part) doing it the wrong way
  86. moyes off to rangers ? you think a die hard celtic fan would join rangers...

    he;s already said he doesn't want the celtic job btw...

    know your facts ;)
  87. Don't get it do u. No money for a new stadium. No money to buy big name players. The only thing can afford is a packet of peanuts. lol. U really are the joke of the north.
  88. you are really failing at whatever point you are trying to make. we spend less money and do better than a spurs side who spend a lot more money.

    You are just making yourself look like a bit of a simpleton.
  89. if there is one thing i hate more than ARSEnal & warm beer it`s ITW in the know my arse hears so many there really boring just people who think they are important or just have important friends but are really loners who know nothing about nothing so keep your ITK to yourself on a lighter note half decent with great potential & redknapp & moyes together both have a good eye for young players & they can`t both be wrong surely , i hope he goes all out for huntelaar he`s world class underrated at madrid never had time to settle & won`t be given it now but he is exactly who spurs need get rid of keane gone right off him , & to be honest never a big fan anyway misses way to many chances & rarely plays well against a really good side i`d rather keep bent at least he knocks a few in & pav deserves one more season to prove himself keane out huntelaar in 4 good strikers fighting for a starting place ( with defoe who never lets us down)
  90. Ok evertons peanuts has turn out to be good players but still if moyes and everton had money behind them, u wouldn't have take loans players from man city, u wouldn't be diving in to sheff utd year after year. Simpleton, look at your stadium, it's a health risk, and thats a fact. NO MONEY!!!
  91. All Time Top Flight Football League History -

    Everton win ratio - 40.76%
    Tottenham win ratio - 39.89%

    Not much in it.

    Number of trophies won - 24 each (inc Charity/Community Shield)

    Again not much in it!
  92. The thing i reckon helps everton is that they have had the same manager for many years and thats something spurs should look to learn from. because a new manager every year cannot be good for the team.
  93. Stability and consistency in the squad is something Spurs need.

    Everton need an injection of cash to propel them to the next level.
  94. everton & spurs both have great history but for some reason since the eighties both have gone from great to just above average i think evertons problem is their chairmans who have been too tight & shown no ambition always too cautious & spurs chairman not too bad ( even sugar ) but just kept picking bad managers who have wasted millions in the last twenty years name me one clever & shrewd manager at spurs who has spent money wisely i hope redknapp is the man to do this i`m fed up with continuous multi million pound flops i.e rebrov, bentley bent,zokora ,vega,the list goes on & on & on
  95. YAWN YAWN YAWN....my dad car is faster than yours...what you need to do its get a fing grip.2 big club with strong fan base....and it looks like both sets of fans talk mostly out of thier bottoms.....yes we have loads of money and yes you have none..yes you have a crap ground we have a great one with a new one on the way...the most you spent on player was about 6 mil tottenham 16.5...so we have the money big deal its not lke we sepnt it well over the last 10 year or we would rule europe...look you go back to stealing cars and robbing grannies we will go back to bagel and cream cheese...
  96. Everton and Villa are both bigger clubs than Spurs.

    The PoshSpurs posters basis was laughable.Its views like his that give Spurs fans their delusional tag amongst the rest of the footballing population. History? Yes mate, you're talking about one club who have been champions of England 9 times and another who have been champions of England 7 times and won the European Cup. While Spurs have one it twice. It just does not compare.

    I mean seriously ‘financial stability’ compared to that lot? What sort of super strength drugs are you on?!
  97. Anyone else think Moyes looks like ET when he gets ill and turns white?
  98. i normally look forward to the new season with great optimism only to be let down year after year am i the only one whose actually realised we are not as great as we think we are and are actually dreading this season to start should both everton & spurs fans wake up & realise history is history & the future is not looking great or is redknapp finally the man to do it i`m undecided i mean he did waste millions bringing keane back ( who is way to overrated)& he spent 12mill on crouch i bet liverpool love doing business with harry i hope he is more clever this summer or it`s same shit different season
  99. this article is bang on

  101. lets be honest, averaging 2,000 more per game isn't really a noticeable difference worth bragging about is it...

    Greatness is defined by league titles, you can fluke a cup run, you can;t fluke the league

    everton - 9 league titles
    spurs - 2 league titles

    all time points in top flight football

    everton - 4302
    spurs - 3067

    those are differences worth mentioning ;)
  102. oh dear evertonians & yids. why are we arguing about 'size' of club? it's a subjective thing anyway. on a worldwide level, spurs have far more fans than everton. how that makes a club 'bigger' than another beats me, however.

    pretty much every reason either side has given on here has been pathetic. at the end of the day, currently, spurs have a much stronger squad, with the majority of their backups being good enough to slot in to the everton team (everton would love hutton, bentley, bent etc) but this is mainly down to the higher financial status of spurs. in terms of ambition, spurs once again rule over everton. in terms of running a tight ship that gradually gets better and better, i'm afraid everton win. both clubs are similar - both living in the shadow of bitter (redscum) rivals and both determined to one day turn this around.

    why can't we all just get along?!
  103. and the only everton players who would challenge for a place in the spurs team would be lescott, cahill and arteta.
  104. Even if more weight can be attached to League titles, winning trophies per se is what it is all about.

    The points are due to Everton being in the top flight longer. The averages above are more informative.

    Let's face it not much between Spurs, Villa and Everton with only recent success (or lack of) defining who is "currently" better off!

    Spurs's two cup wins in 10 years (+ 3 semis in a row and two top 5 finishes in a row) or Everton's 4 top 6 finishes in the last 5 seasons (+ FA cup finalists)?

    Lets face it both teams (inc Villa) prior to the last 5 seasons or so have been mediocre...in league placings and trophy wins!
  105. ...and two cup finals in a row...against Chelscum and Manc Utd!
  106. ...against the only non-top four club to break the cartel in recent years!
  107. "The points are due to Everton being in the top flight longer."

    indeed they are, just another reason why they are a bigger club

    it's amazing how highly some of you rate your own players when they consistently let you down on a regular basis.

    the irony is if we did sign someone like bentley i can guarantee you he would play a lot better for us than he does for you... same would go for most of your players but thats to be expected when we have a vastly superior manager who out performs other managers with triple the transfer budget.
  108. how about we all meet down the wreck and we can have a big scrap to decide who is better. Keyboard Warriors HHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
  109. "indeed they are, just another reason why they are a bigger club"

    No class!
  110. this blog is really funny. "My club is bigger then yours." lol. It's not about size, it's what you do with it that counts ;)
  111. and everton win in that respect as well
  112. Sorry i'm a sheff utd fan and honestly spurs are bigger than everton, from growing up the big four was always man utd,liverpool spurs and arsenal, only recently chelsea have snuck in, with everton probably on par with aston villa.
    Everton seem to be quite happy finishing in that 4th to 7th bracket and have a sund manager, spurs weren't happy with that as the wanted champs league but by changing their manager numerous times they have been setting themselves back.
    I'm pretty sure that 99% of players would choose spurs over everton
  113. sheff united fan my arse, you are the most blatant yid in this entire thread
  114. vucinic knows the score:

    "'Obviously there are places where I would not want to go. Tottenham? Let's reject that"

    pmsl
  115. This is indeed a pointless argument in many ways. But one 'fact' that always gets my goat about Everton is that, were it not for the infamous Malaysian betting cartel they would not have been in the top flight for so many years. 1994/5 was it? 2-0 down to Wimbledon and being relegated. 3 late goals, let in by Hans Segers and they stay up. Funny nobody seems to remember that. If you then add the fact that Arsenal brobed their way into the top flight, both the so-called record holders do so improperly.
  116. well said sheff utd fan
  117. Yes 3 late goals let in by Hans Segers........one being a first half penalty and the other being a 30 yard Barry Horne piledriver no keeper in the world would have saved.

    The third goal scored by Graham Stuart was indeed dubious, but guess what, 2-2 would also have been enough to keep the 'all time champions of English football' in the top flight.
  118. I'm currently in America on a course with 6 yanks, if Everton and Villa are so big how come not one of them have heard of either of you?? On the other hand, 3 of the 6 have heard of Spurs and can even name some of our past and present players.
    Spurs are, am and will always have a bigger pull than either of you, unless of course, like Man City you get taken over by multi-billionaires and start paying ridiculous wages (oh and that is with or without Europa cup football).
    COYS!!!
  119. a 2-2 draw and everton would have been relegated on goal difference. that dubious goal kept you up.
  120. Let us face facts, unless you now have a Billionaire onboard (or
    two fighting it out) then getting into the top four and CL
    football will not happen....
    We have a manager who has kept us in the top
    four on a budget and built a state of the art stadium (expandable
    to 100,000 capacity) with 55,000 on the waiting list and
    will be taken over soon by an American billionaire - soon this
    will be the only way to compete for a top four place!
    It is too late for you now, sorry!
  121. much as it pains me to say this, we, along with 4 or 5 other clubs, will realistically be fighting for a 6th spot finish this season. Pound for pound we cannot compete on a weekly basis with the top four and i think we can now include Man City to make it a TOP FIVE.

    We were frankly embarrasing at times last season and the thing we lacked most was teamwork....look at Villa, Fulham and Everton...arguably their squads dont have as many "names" as ours but as combinations they were successful...and in the end they finished above us....and deservedly so.

    For once lets be realistic and enjoy our team.
  122. Stop buying promising players, because you will waste them. So sad, when we need ST instead we offload Freddie Kanoute. Look how great Freddie in Sevilla! Now we offload Zokora, maybe Taarabt, Santos, Bale?. Offload Defoe and Keane then buy back, WTF???!! Is spurs not aware of this??? All we need is building strong and tough mentality. Train the current player to be a dedicated player for themselves, fans and the club. Stop finding new player instead polish your own players.
    Hope Harry and Levy hear this.
    Peace
  123. lot of silly coments from both sides I like Everton they are a good team and work hard so everyone chill aighttttt.

    Spurs fan.
  124. Nobody likes it when their club gets beaten to
    a signing, if it's true anyway... Everton have done really well and have done it on a budget really, respect to them and Moyes. However, the Toffees footy isn't for the purist though is it!! Better than Stoke's but then again Everton are a 'big-club' after all...
  125. Hate to break it to you all but todays report suggest naughtan is signing for everton now that they upped their bid... hardly surprising and makes me laugh at all the bullshit that was spouted in this thread such as "once he heard spurs were in for him his mind was made up", got to love delusional fans who make up bullshit just to make themselves feel better about supporting such a joke of a club.

    everyone loves a good laugh at spurs, it's going to become the new national hobby now newcastle are in the championship
  126. Spurs are a great a club with, in the main, very knowledgable fans. I'm an Everton fan and in all honestly think both are massive clubs and pretty much on a par with each other. If we don't break the top four I'd want Spurs too.
  127. sorry everton but there both yids now
