Goodbye Gomez. You were the last current Spurs player in the World Cup, and I'm glad you're gone. Nothing personal, but I'm still seeing orange this morning as I write. It's not like we were going to get to see you play, anyhow. However, it would be nice boasting that one of our most beloved players is also a World Cup champion. I guess you'll make it up by winning the Champion's League.
Kevin-Prince Boateng, as a former Spurs old boy, also went out yesterday in a fantastic battle with Uruguay. He had flashes of brilliance with Spurs, but I wouldn't take him back.
The one I've been wondering about is Dos Santos. He was a revelation for Mexico, a creative spark, and the most exciting player on the Mexico side. When he's been on loan in the Championship, it's been the same. He looks a world-beater. He's played at the highest level now. He's done with being loaned out. He should be blooded into the first team this season, and if he proves a flop, cash in on him. I do hope he comes good for us. I'd gladly keep Gio in World Cup form over Jenas, who should fetch a decent price.
Today will see one of my former Tottenham favorites, Pedro Mendes, square off against Paraguay. Spain should have no trouble advancing with Villa (a former Spurs target, but then again, who hasn't been?) finding his scoring boots. I was always a bit miffed that Mendes left, as he was a hard-working player who brought something to the team. It's been 6 years since the goal-that-wasn't was fired from the halfway line, and neither Spurs nor Man U fans (nor Roy Carroll) have forgotten.
Look familiar?
