Vorm N01, Yedlin by NY Times, Spurs chasing Arsenal youngster

As expected Michel Vorm starts against Sheffield United tomorrow night. In telling Vorm early he has allowed him to relax a little and take some of the worry away from him. As far as the Capital One Cup goes he is the number one.

All goalkeepers make mistakes, even the best, indeed it is probably important that when a player comes into an arena he feels is a big stage that he makes a mistake.

We all learn from our mistakes and the feeling will stay with him, driving him to better performances so that the feeling doesn't become a regular occurrence. How you react to adversity tells you much more about a person than how they react to success.

DeAndre Yedln, by Joining Tottenham Hotspur, Swims Against Tide on U.S. Team

An article by the New York Times might not be seen by Spurs fans over here in the UK and gives a different perspective to the Yedlin story. Buying someone on the back of a World Cup is risky but we watched him also and I for one was hoping we'd get him, he stood out for his age on the biggest stage.

By no means the finished article he has massive potential and a speed that will shock a few in the Premier League. Currently he is away with the US team after a brief training stint with Spurs. He spent New Year's Eve at Harry Kane's house with some homemade food.

“We had pasta and a roast chicken that his missus made. It was fantastic.”
He moved to Spurs because he wanted to get out of his 'bubble' which shows a strong mentality, willing to take on new challenges, which means improving his game each day. That is exactly the kind of mentality I have been suggesting we need in layers over the past year so with that drive I'm sure he'll make a success of it.
