Cisse to Tottenham

Yesterday, I was sat in the corner of my room, slowly rocking backwards and forwards crying quietly at the news that Spurs were linked with Joey Barton. Emotional, psychologically and physically a complete meltdown of a mess. But enough about Barton. I was struggling to come to terms with this transfer news.

Having then recovered with an intense therapy session (watching the 1981 FA Cup final) I ventured out today, almost skipping the streets with the renewed optimism of a man that would rather dismiss any tabloid gossip and simply retain faith in the chairman and manager of the club to do the right thing.

Barton to Spurs? Never.

My day can not and will not be ruined.

That was true, until I found myself drowning in news feed articles relating to a one Djibril Cisse. I say one, because you'd be hard pressed to find two players of the same ilk.

What does Cisse do exactly? Apart from haircuts with colours and body art?

I could feel a panic attack coming on. Seconds later I relapsed.

Surely this is just another in a long line of PR stunts by a football agent to get his client some column space in preparation for the summer transfer market?

A glass of water and a ten minute meditation session (Arsenal 4 Spurs 4) had me back to a composed, logical state of mind.

I reviewed the story.

Conclusion?

Cisse threw a strop over a clash of egos with 'arch-rival' Kenwyne Jones. So Cisse decides to resort to childish playground games suggesting he is joining Spurs, to spite Jones who has been linked with us since the last transfer window.

If we wanted a player just like Cisse, then we may as well graffiti-spray Darren Bent from the neck down, dye his hair white, blindfold him and then tie his feet together with industrial strength tape.

He'd be three times more productive than the original. And on par with Robbie Keane.

do you hate me that I would take a punt on Barton and think that 2m euros for Cisse is worth a pop? Though if nay rumour is true today please let it be Tevez. With his and Wilson's workrate we'd be a different animal altogether especially away from home..

enjoying the articles anyway bud, keep them going...

not a bad idea!

Tevez to Spurs is a non-starter. He won't come. We can't afford him. He won't come.

Stories in the press are just tabloid BS and agent chit-chatter to get other clubs interested in signing him. Or force Utd to make a final decision on whether they want him or not. Which is doubtful thanks to the £30M spent on Berba.

Cisse aside (could not agree more with you!!) what a fantastic day you have had!!

Love what Harry is doing and if we keep getting better who cares BUT, i am little worried we are going to lose a little bit of flair in the process!! Still we cant have it all.

By the way, i love your thought of the week great work!!

Spooks,
I never considered cissy to be that good. I think he'd be better off working the door at Punks.

YES VERY FUNNY INDEED

NEITHER OF THEM SPURS PLAYERS

CISSE IS USLESS AND TOTALLY AGREE WE MAY AS WELL KEEP BENT - HARRY WONT BUY CISSE

BARTON WAS A GOOD PLAYER AND THE SORT OF PLAYER HARRY LIKES TO RESCUE ON THE CHEAP AND MAKE GOOD AGAIN - THIS IS MORE LIKLEY THAN CISSE

ALL IN ALL I THINK ITS JUST A LOAD OF RUBBISH TO SELL THE PAPERS. IM SURE HARRY THE GOD HAS A LOT OF TRICKS UP HIS SLEEVE, A FEW JOKERS TO SELL AND FEW ACES HE WILL BRING IN........
