Lee 'set to leave Spurs for Roma'

Lee has made 34 appearances for Spurs
Tottenham full-back Lee Young-Pyo is set to move to Italian side Roma, according to the South Korea international's agent.
Lee, 29, joined from PSV Eindhoven last August for an undisclosed fee and has made 34 appearances for Spurs.

"Tottenham and AS Roma have agreed in principle to the transfer of Lee Young-Pyo," Chin Sung-Won told the Yonhap news agency.

"We are in talks with Roma on detailed contract terms."

Lee, who played at the 2002 and 2006 World Cups, spent three years at PSV where he followed his former national team manager Guus Hiddink.

"You can consider the deal as almost sealed, as the only remaining procedure is the player's decision," added his agent.

Roma are looking for a left-back as a replacement for Argentina international Leandro Cufre, who joined Monaco on Tuesday.



FFS why are we selling all our full backs and buying more strikers and midfielders??? Are we going from a stable 4-4-2 to a mental 2-4-4 or something???

we could be selling you guys kewell as your long awaited replacement for anderton on the treatment table...

i wont be too upset if lee leaves, he never really lived upto his billing, we still have ekotto and ziegler as cover on the left, lets just hope we sign a right full back soon.

Wanna by a darkee off us? He usually plays left back but I'm sure the cunt will adapt.

hahahahaha nah you guys keep him. unless you fancy swapping for salteri

looks like lee is staying as he has rejected roma. oh well

Is it some sort of ongoing gag that Spurs are linked with every fucking transfer rumour mentioned?

Yeah, my mum told me she was selling me to them last week.

I hope Spurs buy Michael Carrick.

Tottenham have always been the rumour-heavy club, because they're one of the biggest clubs in England who always underperform. After a slow start to a season, every player and his dog is linked to them. We've had a very slow start.

Now we've got Chimbonda and Malbranque. Steed I'm happy with but Pascy and his little temperament could be a worry. At least we got Mido back. I still love that man.

I'm happy with Chimbonda, he wanted a bigger club and should do fine.

Better than Paul "Shanghai eyebrows, but Canadian" Stalterrible.

im just a bit dicked off about steed being out for 10 weeks, for some reason i see another routledge situation happening, but chimbonda and mido

Ok, Chimbonda is average, striker rotation is killing us, Ghaly is abysmal and Zakora is a cheat.

How the hell:

a ) did we fail to get results so far given the amount of chances we can create?
b ) did we win yesterday with such piss poor players as mentioned above?

Answers

a ) Jenas. Barn door. Mido short of match fitness.
b ) Berbatov obstructed for the first goal, Zakora dived for the second.

Shame because Zakora looks like a decent holding midfielder. Defoe has got to be first pick, so has Keane. Berbatov is unproven and Mido should be a backup.

FFS Jol, stick with a winning eleven!

Christ man, have some heart you're having to play with the pressure of a crammed fixture list now you have Champion's League games as well.

I've been away and expected to see some kind of response to this:

What? Martin Jol's funky ballet?

He looks like some suburban dad who just mowed his lawn and is real happy about it.

Superb form, Rick.

You two are nothing short of gentlemen.

Wait, I do not understand that sentence. Are you calling them short?

English is our second language, Nam.

Same there.
And here.

In fact, we lack real Englishers here aye?

Keep it up men! Soon we'll get this dead horse flogged to two pages!
