Now that 2010 has arrived, one tends to sit back and reflect on 2009 and see what positives he / she could build on to make the new year a better one.
I’ve already posted on the looking back bit, but there is a key factor that will determine our success in the coming months. It popped into my head this morning when I was slowly rolling out of bed (post-new year celebratory mode) that the January window is upon us, which means other teams and managers will be doing whatever it takes to unsettle our squad, especially if we’re pushing for any of the top spots.
Harry and Levy will have to make this January window a smooth transition with quick transactions, if any. Players who are on their way out need to be perished! Players on their way in should be secured early. No Prima Donnas! We need the hardworking team-oriented type. The Kranjcar(s), Palacios(es) and Crouch(es) of this world. We don’t want a PR machine. We want top 4!
Yes, I said it and took the liberty of speaking on your behalf too. We want top 4!
With the way we have been playing lately, we are showing all the right signs of breaking into the top 4. Whether we imitate Aston Villa’s attempted top 4 run of last season is another story (they ran out of wind at the end), but we should aim for the maximum and die trying. I know many of you are cringing at my potential jinxing of our whole season, but we do have the players to pull it off. I believe it! Now, getting them to play with 150% focus and determination is another issue, but that’s not my job now… is it Mr. Redknapp?

Very well said. die trying in the away matches against tough and week opposition; That’s what we need to be up there. Aim high! Why not! its our team and our right to do so.

True. Besides history telling us it won’t happen, there is no reason to believe we can’t be top four.
Has anyone seen the interesting stories on the Brazilian midfielder (Sandro) that has a deal with Tottenham and will join as soon as he gets a work permit? He would add depth at a position that always needs it when you get in the late-season grinder.
COYS!!!!!

Bash: We would be selling ourselves short if we don’t aim high so agreed!
TJ: Nothing concrete about Sandro as of yet… you get the “here & there” bits but nothing official. If I was expecting any player to be signed, it would most probably be him.
COYS!
