Hoddle was a tough blow. When strachan left, saints should have taken Hoddle back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 After much teeth gnashing I have decided that I will be cheering for Tottenham 36 time a year, and for Paul to score 3 and clear three more off the line in two 4-3 (all chances/goals by Arsenal coming from whatever side of the field Paul is not playing) losses to the Gunners. Yes, I will probably need therapy as a result, but probably do anyways given the state of Canadian soccer generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reza Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Well, hopefully he will be a regular here as well just like he was in Bremen. Will he be the 2nd midfield type to play in EPL from Canada, the other being Brennan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaku_bert Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 sean, saw your post at rivals. So you saw the derisory way that spud fans are treating the arrival of stalteri. The reality is, they can't get past the fact that he's a canadian. In their minds, they are too big for some "schmok" ( a yid on rivals actually wrote the word that way) from canada to be in their team. The lot of them are bun heads. Stalteri is completely suited for english football. He's going to be the makelele of spud-ville (not in the same position perhaps but he'll be the unsung hero that frees up everyone else to be flashy).

Grizzly Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Good move for Stalteri. Probably not a move up in club terms but the Premiership is a slightly better league than the Bundesliga. I always favour players moving to better overall leagues, i.e. a move to Celtic or Dynamo Kiev might be great at club level but they are playing 2nd division level teams for 80% of their games whereas at Spurs he will have extremely competitive matches week in and out. Certainly both the league and club are much higher profile and hopefully he will gain a lot more prominence in the Canadian media. I think the change in style and playing with and against a different set of players will do a lot for his play and in turn help his national team play.

Cheeta Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 If anyone expects me to buy a 'Spurs kit, Stalteri or no, they're fu'king nuts. I think the dislike of 'Spurs here in Canada might go back to the days when it was all Arsenal/Spurs on the television. Hmm. Who to root for? The faggots in white named after a stupid bird (and not exactly a bird-of-prey either). Or the team with an artillary piece on there shirt? Easy call in the trailor park. And of course there is that picture of Gazza getting his nards compounded by Jones. Real charming. P.S. Give Paul a chance. He's built for the EPL in every aspect. They're going to get to learn to love this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massive Attack Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Stalteri's new team has an outside chance of being in the UEFA Cup next year.

shaku_bert Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 A Bremen supporter described Stalteri and his move as such: to STALTERI: man were we sad when it was announced that he would leave. he was here for 8 years, always fighting his arse off, even in the reserves. everybody loved him here. in his first appearance for the pro squad he already scored and since then he moved more and mor into defence. if he was healthy, he played. with so much passion, it made us wonder sometimes. But he wore the 7 on the shirt, i guess there's something about that number... Anyway, many critisised him for his poor crossing abilities. he got the nickname "Stolperi", which means kind of "Stumbli" because it was kind of funny sometimes how hard he tried and where the ball actually landed sometimes. when he came, schaaf, who is now the pro team's manager since '99, coached the reserves and he got stalteri from toronto. schaaf was the man to make stalteri's career possible, he supported him all the time. i mean, it wasn't just stalteri who always played instead of the new players. it was also schaaf who would let him play. still it is a riddle for me how we could let him go. maybe he wanted to change or schaaf finally wants to change the system to one where the whole defence is able to switch to attack and play accurate passes. i think for stalteri it is good to go to the spurs, he will be a leader there and here he was always the guy that played because nobody else was able to do the job. by the way, many werder supporters already bought spurs-shirts with stalteris name on it and everybody prays that we will meet the spurs in a european competition one day. he still is in bremen and has a lot of friends here. maybe he was the worst player ever to become the fan's favourite, but he definitely deserved it and everybody here wishes him all the best.

Timotas Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 quite an interesting article by that supporter... fascinating to see how the fans thought of him... the worst player ever to become a fan's favourite haha... i guess passion and determination got him where he was instead of his skill.
