The Departure Lounge.

"We have a lot of players and there are three or four who are not playing (and their departure might be sanctioned). But Robbie is not going anywhere," Jol said.

Jol also rebuffed speculation that Jamie Redknapp is on his way to Southampton, insisting the club captain is happy at Tottenham.

That last statement narrows the field down significantly, three out of five by my reckoning.

JJ doesn’t feature any more and is firmly behind Edman, Atouba & Ziegler, not to mention new signings.

Dean Richards hasn’t played for years and is behind King, Gardner, Naybet, Davenport, Bunjevcevic & Probably Defendi or anybody else you care to think of.


Goran Bunjevcevic is a component (albeit nothing more than that) defender/utility player, but always gives %100 and never moans about his lot, consequently a good squad player.


Rohan Ricketts is firmly placed in the last chance salon and will at best be an understudy to a fit again Simon Davies. (Soon hopefully)

Would be pleasantly surprised if we received more than 1.5M for the lot of them, probably more of a case of freeing up slots on the payroll.

We will just have to wait & see.
