The 2 kids from the blades are a special pair, you will be delighted to watch them play at WHL. Going to miss the 2 kyles

- Mitchell, Sheffield

Rob Gooner, of South London(Woolwich) you've been well and truly outed.........again!

- Paxton, N17

@ Pierre,
Don't follow your reasoning on this transfer.
Spurs are awash with full backs.
£8m is a lot of money,better spent elsewhere.
The new boys wont get a game so they won't improve.
If they don't improve their value will diminish. So loan them back to SU? Definitely not to a Premiership club, maybe not Championship!
Everton (why snigger at them, a fair-dealing club with an honest manager?) will just buy someone else.
I'm glad you're happy, it's just that I can't see why!

- Ed Moran, Torquay

Well done, Shaun. Yet another person [Evs said the same thing a couple of days back] has seen through the veneer of Rob - he is a Gooner, who pretends to be a Tottenham supporter in order to publicly drag the club down, as though he is a fierce critic - I think he's actually the poster who, when the subject is the Goons, calls himself "Rob Gooner".

By the way, Rob, what is so wrong about 6th spot for a team you so clearly are trying to deride? It means europe and probably this season a place above Villa and Everton, as Man City and the top 4 look to have the top 5 spots covered.

Finally, to those of you who are not able to discern that Rob is a Gooner, there is a clue to be had. See if you can find it. Sorry, no prizes for getting it right.

- Captain Black Of The Mysterons, London, England

People are now turning their backs on Gareth Bale & Chris Gunter they are still the best left & right sided defenders on the earth let spurs fans raise their voices to send bale on loan to milan or roma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Romario Narcis, Edinburgh 500,Trinidad

How er...underwhelming...bargain basement signings or what? Nice 1 Harry.

- Sean, Cork, Ireland

the fact that bale has been linked with ac milan, inter milan, roma and madrid sums up the talent were wasting

- Dave Tucker, spain or hertfordshire

gunter and bale are two top class players and great back up.. why are we spending 8 mil on two players not as good as them?? i think our defence is fine.. as you can see from the amazing home record... i think we have great cover aswel at the back so id jus worry bout the left side which bale could play and up 1 more up top

- Dave Tucker, spain or hertfordshire

Shaun - you are clearly deluded, as I am neither a gooner nor a woman. I am entitled to my opinions as a realistic Tottenham fan, who believes that our defence is in need of surgery. King & Woodgate are fine, but need quality cover. If we intend breaking into the top 4, then our full-backs simpy are'nt good enough. Can you seriously see Assou-Ekotto, Bale, Chimbonda or Gunter making it into any of the top 4 sides ahead of the players they have? Mark my words, whenever you look at the table next season. We will finish no higher than 6th place.

- Rob Hotspurs, South London

Those 2 kids from Sheffield will delight and surprise you if given the chance, Naughton can play anywhere in defence and Walker is both rb and cb. He is actually the better player of the two.

- Frank Turner, Edinburgh Scotland

Gooner Rob, you must have been at the Emirates when Hutton was strutting his stuff prior to his injury. Watch him go next season.you dont think much of Bale or Gunter.
It's it just as well Harry doesn't listen to your philosophical meanderings, he would be up at the Emirates buying all your old cast offs.
What is it that get's you off on this 'cloak and dagger' persona.
I'll bet your a woman really.

- Shaun, London

If it is true, I have every confidence that they will follow in the footsteps of Bale and Gunter. Spurs seems to make a real "project" of young fullbacks.

- Thorchild, New Canaan, USA

Trust me when I say that these two kids are very special talents.

Both will be full England players in the very near future.

Harry knows what he's doing with these kids.

- Steven Leach, United Kingdom

These two young players looked excellent in Sheffield United's defeated play off side. However, will they make the step up from the Championship to the Premiership? I would like to see Chimbonda sold, who I couldnt understand why Harry re-signed last January. I would also like to see Hutton sold, when not injured he has looked a very poor signing for such a high fee. I dont think much of Bale or Gunter & although he had a reasonable season Assou-Ekotto still worries me, as does Corluka who looks far better at Centre half rather than as a right-back. Hence, these 2 new players should compete at right-back & Harry needs, in my opinion, to look out for 2 quality left-backs & cover for Ledley King to improve our defence vastly. Otherwise, all we can hope for is 6th place, at best.

- Rob Hotspurs, South London

Shame to see two young talents wasted at spurs. White hart lane is a graveyard for full backs. It's ruined some of the brightest prospects in british football.

- Tntz, That London

Feel sorry for the Utd boys if this is true.

Naughton desperately wanted to join Everton where his career would have flourished. Now he's having to join a dead beat club with no prospects of starting. He'd be better off staying where he is.

What a waste.

- Richard, France

Time (you know, that rarest of commodities in the Premier League) will determine the wisdom of these signings; but I personally think that we will come up short yet again unless at least three quality players come in.

Be careful, Harry, the natives are getting restless.

- Ted, London

relax, he's building for the next 2 seasons..Hutton will start, Corluka will be back up for King/woody. Those 2 youngsters will both be loaned out once we've sale is complete.. very smart harry. Everton end with nix.. hahahaa

- Pierre, JOBURG/ SOUTH AFRICA

Harry, I'm baffled. I thought I told you we need a central midfielder, a left sided midfielder,a central defender and a striker. How many right backs have we now. Hutton, Corluca, Chimbonda, Gunter, Naughton and Walker. Ah well thats that position covered.

- Kevin, London

So we scour Madrid, Milan and even Middlesboro for talent and end up wih a couple of kids from ... Sheffield!
