I reckon we could sell him to you guys for 10. Way to throw away 10 fucking mil. Maybe 15 to man city. We're in the shitter with him tbh.

Man. Shitty will come in and over-inflate the transfer market, like Chelsea, when they paid outrageous money for player's.

[size=9]Spurs stroll to derby victory[/size]

Ledley King scored his first goal in three years as Tottenham continued their revival under Harry Redknapp with a 2-0 victory at West Ham. King, whose last goal came on December 12, 2005 in a 3-1 win over Portsmouth, met a cross from the electric Aaron Lennon and powered his downward header past Robert Green.

Spurs wrapped up victory in the last minute with a long-range strike from Jamie O'Hara that takes them above West Ham in the Premier League on goal difference.

Tottenham's win ended Green's run of three clean sheets but ensured another successful return to Upton Park for Redknapp, who was West Ham boss between 1994 and 2001 and has never lost on his old stamping ground as a visiting manager.

Croatian midfielder Luka Modric returned to the Spurs side after recovering from a groin injury.

Lennon's cross found David Bentley at the far post on the edge of the box but the shot was tame and did not stretch Green.

Craig Bellamy was in a fiery mood. He took exception to a hefty challenge from Didier Zokora and the pair exchanged words and the odd shove before referee Chris Foy intervened with a word of warning.

West Ham edged the first-half possession with Scott Parker busy in midfield and Bellamy energetic up front and at the heart of the Hammers' best attacking moments.

He linked well with Carlton Cole, Valon Behrami and Hayden Mullins but for all their possession, West Ham could not open Tottenham up as their problems up front continue.

They have now scored just once in four Premier League games.

West Ham did have the ball in the net after 22 minutes, when Jenas turned Bellamy's corner past his own keeper, but it was scratched off because Lucas Neill was climbing all over the Tottenham midfielder.

Behrami then latched onto Carlton Cole's lay-off and closed in on the box, only to be hauled down from behind in an ungainly fashion by Bentley.

The free-kick was teed up for James Collins whose low strike was deflected wide for another corner, which this time Heurelho Gomes punched confidently away.

Bellamy then saw his shot blocked on the edge of the area before he pulled another across goal and wide of Gomes' right post.

West Ham may have enjoyed the better of possession but Spurs had their moments.

Modric's tricky run was halted by a determined challenge from James Collins and Lennon's deep cross found Bentley at the far post but his header did not test Green.

Spurs upped the tempo just before half-time and were unfortunate not to go ahead after working two chances in as many minutes.

Neill's clearing header fell straight to Bentley, who caught the half-volley clean and true but was denied by a brilliant diving save from Green, who punched the ball clear for a throw-in.

Spurs kept the pressure on and Roman Pavlyuchenko stretched to meet a low cross from Lennon at the far post but he could only push the ball onto the post.

Spurs continued to turn the screw after the interval as West Ham struggled to keep pace with the tempo.

Lennon, their most dangerous attacking weapon, broke clear but was tracked all the way by Parker who pulled off a perfectly-timed challenge just as the Spurs winger prepared to shoot.

Redknapp made his first change just 10 minutes into the second half and Darren Bent, replacing Pavlyuchenko, brought a new dimension to their attack.

Spurs had a strong claims for a penalty when Ilunga raised his arms to block Vedran Corluka's cross but their appeals were waved away.

Modric, Jenas and Lennon opened West Ham up with slick one-touch football but Bent, who had escaped Collins in the box, turned his shot wide before Zokora saw his low drive blocked by Green.

But Tottenham's pressure told and it was Lennon who engineered the breakthrough with a delightful cross for King to power a downward header past the keeper's despairing dive.

Zola sent on David di Michele and Diego Tristan in search of an equaliser and it almost paid off as the Hammers threw everything forward.

Di Michele tried to squeeze space at the near post but was closed out and then West Ham were denied by a point-blank save from Gomes to deny the Italian after the ball had ping-ponged around the Spurs area.

And as West Ham fans stood head in hands, Spurs broke straight down field and O'Hara sealed with victory with a long-range strike.

Gomes saved your asses, for once.

he also regualrly makes fuck ups

what did you expect after saying that he has his shair of good performances?
I have seen his quality when he was at PSV I dont watch many Tottenham matches and the ones I have he has looked a mere shadow of thise performances

Watch a game once a while instead of relying on tabloid opinion, Gomes regularly makes fantastic saves.
