I cannot wait for King to return. Just imagine King alongside Dawson with Kaboul playing DM. Excellent

I think that Dawson and Kaboul as centre backs and King as Defensive midfield. hes played there for england and has done really well. i think that would work bnetter as we dont have a bossy midfield guy Ledly could be our man. Top 4 here we come!! (how many times have we heard that before) smiley

King has a big influence on the way Spurs play, so his return will hopefully boost Spurs' confidence right up. I think Kaboul won't get as many games now, but still King will be out untill after Christmas.

I also would like to talk about Younes Kaboul for a second. What a player! 3 goals for Spurs already hes turning out to be a dark horse! But still Spurs aren't the same without Ledley in the back 4.

Unfortunately Ledley is likely to be very injury prone. We need to strengthen the back four , even at the expense of one of the strikers. The signs were there so this should have been rectified during the summer.

Sadly, even with King back, as long as we have a flimsy midfield (Jenas and Zokora) he won't make that much difference. With Robbo now officially one of the worst keepers in the premiership it doesn't bode well for the rest of the season
