Tottenham Hotspur’s potential summer transfer window targets – English Premier League (Part 3)
Following our break-down of as to why Tottenham need to sign a striker like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Forlan, it is time to shift the focus towards Scott Parker’s possible arrival at the White Hart Lane stadium...
Scott Parker
Harry Redknapp has been a big admirer of Scott Parker in the past. He has constantly touted up the veteran Englishman as a top class midfielder. But is Redknapp going to make a move for the West Ham United midfielder now that the
Hammers have been relegated to Championship football.
It is clear that Parker will be a subject of intense transfer speculation in the current summer transfer window. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-Henderson-c19102 which has
poured cold water over their chase for West Ham’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Captain-c8314.
Scott Parker’s rise to fame has not been a sudden one. The English midfielder has seen many ups and downs in his career but it can be safely that his move from Charlton Athletic to Chelsea in the Mourinho era was one of the worst
decisions that he made in his career. At Chelsea, Parker seldom got the opportunity to start a game for the Blues.
With other much more marketable stars such as Essien, Makelele, Obi Mikel, Lampard and Ballack in the Chelsea ranks, Parker was neglected which had a detrimental impact on his development as a footballer. After spending his best
years on the bench in Chelsea, Parker was transferred to Newcastle United where he impressed once again but when Newcastle cashed in on his talents in summer of 2007 when West Ham United came calling for the Englishman.
At West Ham, Parker showcased why http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 had much a hefty amount of money for him to gain his signature as he produced his best form. He singlehandedly kept West Ham United in the English Premier League in the 2009-2010 season
under Gianfranco Zola as the club was teetering on the brink of relegation. However even Parker’s drive was not enough to save West Ham United from relegation in the 2010-2011 Premier League season.
At Tottenham, Parker can potentially be reunited with a manager who has a feel for Scott’s talents. Redknapp is well aware that he is already facing a cramped up midfield department as far as his squad is concerned. Thus if Parker
does arrive at the White Hart Lane stadium, someone will have to make way for the Englishman.
That someone will most likely be http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sandro-c32460. Both the players competed for the same place and Palacios missed out
in the end due to the Brazilian midfielder’s superior performances. However with Parker, Tottenham can obtain a defensive minded midfielder who pushes from box to box and seldom has injury troubles.
The former Charlton Athletic man will give the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rafael-c30339 Van der Vaart freedom to venture forward at will whilst he protects the back four. For Parker, a move to Tottenham will be an ideal one, with the European
Championships coming up in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 national team line up, something that can only be done by playing regular Premier League football with a team like Tottenham Hotspur.
