Silva was seriously over played in the first half of last season and suffered for it. He was given extended time off after the Euros and didnt feature in pre season. I'm hoping that his failure to start today was just part of a strategy to avoid a repeat of last season.

how can professional footballers, fitter than ever before be 'over played' ? ok, not quite match fit or carrying a knock I can understand but these guys should be able to play the full 90 if required - Silva is a fine player and City looked more mobile for the time he was on

watching the exciting Stoke side I was trying to figure out why Crouch was substituted ? he looked lively and won everything in the air which is the fundamental of the Pulis set up so why take him off FFS ? the strategy didn't change giving the Gooners the advantage with TP having no Plan B in the event of not having 6' 7" to aim at ...

Early bets on the first Prem manager to get the boot ? for me it has to be Paul Lambert in november and AVB in december

Come on you Spurs - sack this clown FFS !

I obviously haven't seen as much of him as you, but that seems a fair assessment to me.

I'm so pleased none of the Premier League teams have come in for James Chester so far, he's the best defender outside the Prem by a million miles and is better than most of the defenders up there too. If we can hold on to him and get Sone Aluko and Proschwitz firing then we'll be not far away come May time.

Is he the lad from Warrington that used to be at United?

Harry will be spitting. Think how he could have burned through the £30 million Modric cash.

Interesting....Spurs sell Modric to Madrid, while also signing upto become their feeder club....

So any decent players Spurs unearth, they now have to sell to Real??.....I think Bale might be on his way to the Bernabau soon??

He used to be at United, im not sure where he's from but he sounds like he's from Warrington way. Very, very good player, when he first signed it was thought his size would let him down but the way he reads the game make up for it.

must be on the cards with Walker not far behind him...

good business by Levy tho' - Modric wanted to leave, not surprisingly but will he go down as a Spurs 'great' ? a very good player in an average side yes, but not a Spurs 'great' for me

hardworking and skillful midfielder to make the legends team for me would have to be Ozzie with Gazza close by...
