Disbanded Yid Army

When Sunderland Manager Roy Keane decided to swoop for four Tottenham Hotspur players at once, it made me think about just how many ex-Spurs players are still plying their trade in the Premier League. Spurs have recently adopted a transfer policy of buying lots of young British talent, keeping whoever makes the grade, or selling on those who don't. It can be fruitful, with players like Gareth Bale, Michael Dawson, Tom Huddlestone etc performing very well. The players that haven't made it have still been good enough for the Premier League, highlighted by Callum Davenport's goal this weekend for West Ham United.

Anyway... here's my Ex-Spurs Current Premier League XI (one player per club)

Paul Robinson (Blackburn Rovers)
Luke Young (Aston Villa)
Sol Campbell (Portsmouth)
Callum Davenport (West Ham United)
Erik Edman (Wigan Athletic)
Nicky Barmby (Hull City)
Simon Davies (Fulham)
Steed Malbranque (Sunderland)
Robbie Keane (Liverpool)
Dimitar Berbatov (Manchester United)
Mido (Middlesbrough)

Alternatives:
Aston Villa - Wayne Routledge
Fulham - Danny Murphy, Bobby Zamora
Hull - Anthony Gardener, Dean Marney
Manchester United - Michael Carrick
Portsmouth - Sean Davis, Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Younes Kaboul, Noe Pamarot
Sunderland - Pascal Chimbonda, Teemu Tainio
West Ham United - Matthew Etherington

I think you should make all your posts Tottenham related.

Any news with the odds on my bet btw?

And one last point, you're slacking a bit with the All Time Premier Eleven feature. Get on it Brown Face. And pick at least one Tottenham player.
