The bit about lack of communication scares me a bit, but maybe he has been mis-quoted.

Thoughts?

Judge Ramos next season with his own team.

We have nothing to play for this season except for pride. I still think he should play our fringe players and experiment with them.

I think Kabouls best position is Left Back at home.

kaboul hasn't been good and it looks like he know he's on his way.

who does kaboul think he is?
he is ripping into Ramos because he isn't playing, but does he deserve to play? i think not i didn't think he was all that special when Jol played him.
Also him saying that Ramos had nothing to do with us winning the carling cup is total rubbish he is in no position to say that, i honestly don't believe that Jol would have won it. i am not attacking Jol, i liked him as a manager just i don't believe that he was taking us in the right direction, he had fallings out with top players such as Berbatov and as a result we almost lost him in the transfer windows luckly we never.

Íf i am honest i can't wait to see the back of kaboulsmiley

"hahaha Spurs=laughing stock laugh......look @ what Wenger has spent previous 2 seasons compared to Spurs"

Haha Spurs = laughing at what Wenger has to show for the amount he has spent? Oh yes of course, nothing :P

If you spend nothing, you get nothing ... simple maths really.

I'd be more concerned about trying to keep the ever-growing list of players who may be leaving the Emirates than slagging our fringe players.

BTW, sorry to hear about Keith Edelman:

One too many mistakes for Kaboul, players always do this when they realise they are out of favour. We have better defenders and though the defence has looked shoddy lately Kaboul isn't a defender; he should play in a defensive midfield role.

No-one wanted Jol to go but people have to move on...Ramos is getting used to England and the way Spurs have always played...one thing does bother me, when we aren't winning he just seems to open the game up completely by taking of Dawson/King/Lee and bringing on Bent! Fair play though, actually makes it entertaining. Can't wait to see Modric (and Villa! :D)

By Sssspurssss: Oh and if Jol was such a quality manager then why is he going off to the might of AZ Alkmaar in Holland who mamy people will not of heard of. With probably 40 or 50 clubs ahead of them in Europe if he was such a quality manager how come he has not gone to a better club?
-----------------------------------

AZ Alkmaar are a big team in Holland, they almost won the league last year but blew it on the last matchday. They are managed by a certain Louis van Gaal, you can discuss his likability, but few would consider Van Gaal to be a bad manager. AZ might be unknown abroad slightly (although in recent years they did better in Europe then Spurs), but thanks to a rich owner, they climbed out of a deep hole and are now considered to be a top 5 side in Holland, with Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord and Heerenveen.

Not to mention that the club a manager works for doesn`t say anything about his quality. Some managers get higher positions then they deserve based on reputation as a player (Like Van Basten and Ronald Koeman), some prefer lower profile jobs, an interesting challenge/adventure and/or big salaries (Like Hiddink and Advocaat). Ronald Koeman managed Valencia this year (for a short while), but very few people would state he is a better manager then Martin Jol.

In Holland we got managers at smaller teams who won big prizes:
FC Utrecht (Van Hanegem)
Vitesse (Aad de Mos)
And managers of big teams who haven`t won much yet:
Feyenoord (Next season Gert-Jan Verbeek)
Ajax (Marco van Basten) I don`t consider qualifying with a selection like ours an accomplishment, for the rest he only managed Ajax yourh.

Jol BTW aint going to AZ, since Van Gaal is staying. But if he would go, he could go for several reasons: The money (since AZ pay well nowadays, ask Van Gaal), personal reasons (closer to family for example), challenging ambitions from a club (a club on the rise like AZ is fun to manage since you are part of a key moment and have a lot to do).

I do think any manager can win the carling cup, I`m not convinced who is the better manager, all i know is that Kaboul wouldn`t be so negative about Ramos if he played, which is obvious. But you can`t compare the last months under Jol to this period with Ramos to begin with. Jol did so much for you, its incredible how much criticism he gets, since for now Ramos hasn`t proven that much, where would you have been if Jol got more say in the transfer targets and more confidence from the board? The facts on which the comparison is made are scarred by the way Jol and Ramos were allowed to do their job.

kaboul is just having a whinge at Ramos. Ramos gave him a couple of chances this season but calamitous mistakes r the reason 4 him eing dropped. at times he thinks he has more time on the ball than he actually has.
