Zokora gone

[Keanoldinho]

it's official Sevilla have announced it on their site :thumbup:

best of luck to him even though he was shite

I'll always remember him for that run in the cup final and the typical Zoko finish :cursing:

[TheRealestYiddo]

Worked hard but never warmed to him after that dive against Pompey.

Cheating Baaaastard!

Bye Bye!

[crisyj]

you cant knock him too much - at least he put a lot of effort in - good luck to him i say
the fcuking shit cu.nt

[TheRealestYiddo]

I only hated him for the diving. He worked hard and thats all we can ask but the diving was unnacceptable in my eyes.

[berbzy 'G']

Couldnt shoot to save his life. But to be fair, Zokora had some brilliant defensive displays, I'll remember him for a good defensive performance against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last season.

[Spur]

YES!
GET ****ING IN!
THANK **** FOR THAT!

[TheRealestYiddo]

YES!
GET ****ING IN!
THANK **** FOR THAT!

Listen mate, don't be too down about it! :001_rolleyes:

[Keanoldinho]

now can we please get Cana asap

that would be a quality replacement

[TheRealestYiddo]

A can a' what? I'm partial to Tomato Soup - I'LL GET MY COAT. :001_smile:

[Spur]

A can a' what? I'm partial to Tomato Soup - I'LL GET MY COAT. :001_smile:

You need it!

That's one half of the worst central midfield partnership the Premiership has ever seen gone! Now to work on the other one... Any takers? Anyone? No? Bugger.

[gomessi]

Good luck didier.

[TheRealestYiddo]

Good luck didier.

He'll need it all the racist abuse he'll get out there.

[Spur]

I can't believe we've found someone stupid enough to take him!

[GQCoolest]

Hope we got a decent cchunk of change for him, but always had a soft spot after the camera caught him unable to watch Berba's penalty in the CC Final.

[inthewoods]

Never really rated him. In fact i thought he was shite. Worked hard though. Ah well. Thanks for the service and all that Didi. Good luck.

Finally some money to sign a player or two?

[Spur]

Hope we got a decent cchunk of change for him, but always had a soft spot after the camera caught him unable to watch Berba's penalty in the CC Final.

How about in the same game, when he missed that one-on-one?

That soft spot should've disappeared instantly!

14mllion!!!!!!! r u sure, i thought the fee was around half of that

[morepheus]

I can't believe we've found someone stupid enough to take him!

lol thats about right

yeah he worked hard but he was pony...and if we got most of the £8 million back then we've done well !

[GQCoolest]

I heard it was 8.6 million. Find it hard to believe the deal was worth 14.

[Keanoldinho]

14mllion!!!!!!! r u sure, i thought the fee was around half of that



:lol: there's no fecking way we got that

If Levy got 14 mil he deserves a statue of himself built outside the new ground

[gomessi]

I heard it was 8.6 million. Find it hard to believe the deal was worth 14.

I was oly joking pal. I'm DELIGHTED to get £8.6m I honestly would have taken £2m!!

:thumbup:

[MarlowSpurs]

I can't believe we've found someone stupid enough to take him!

and on a four year deal..........

[gomessi]

:lol: there's no fecking way we got that

If Levy got 14 mil he deserves a statue of himself built outside the new ground

I'll start building a statue now. Getting £8.6m for a £2m is unbelievable!!:001_smile:

[Keanoldinho]

and on a four year deal..........



their fans are in for a right treat

they'll be throwing bananas at him in no time making monkey noises the racist cvnts

[morepheus]

The Ivorian holding midfielder has signed a four-year contract with Sevilla after the two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of €9 million.

Zokora, who joined Tottenham from Saint-Etienne in 2006, made 134 appearances for Spurs, and was part of the side that won the League Cup trophy in 2008.

The 28-year-old will have a €30m release clause attached to his contract and will be officially presented next Wednesday.

[gomessi]

Even the very best make monumental cock ups.

Thank you seville fc.

I wonder if seville fans reading all this. :lol:

[Keanoldinho]

I'll start building a statue now. Getting £8.6m for a £2m is unbelievable!!:001_smile:


8.6 mil is still very good business

recouping all the money we paid for him

Levy really is one hell of negotiator that's why most people feel fleeced after dealing with him :laugh:

[Spur]

Feel like celebrating.

May crack open a Bud.

lol gets funnier by the minute.

Perhaps yaya toure will ask for his dream move to spurs and Barca will match the release clause and pay £30m for didier:001_smile:

I still cant believe it. :001_smile: £8.6m :001_smile:

[CardiffSPur]

£8.4m great... we can buy richard dunne or craig bellamy with that

:cursing:

[singapore spur]

the guy tried , came across as a nice bloke but too many deficiencies in his game,i.e passing, shooting , thinking , to be good enough or consistant enough to warrent a starting place .

wish him well though

[TURKISH]

All the best Zokora.

[Gino Ginelli]

Was tenacious, hard working and athletic, with a good attitude. But who misses a one on one with a keeper in a cup final like that?! Useless! Finished worse than Michael Bridges and had the turning circle of a national express coach with 3 flat tyres.

£8.6m is robbery. But great :thumbup1:

[Beaker]

Chuffed with that price to be honest.
It was hard to dislike Zokora as he wore his heart on his sleeve, but to be honest he is a pretty woeful footballer.

Although perhaps we could remove his engine before he goes and give it to Huddlestone..........

[Baleinho]

My fav quote ever on here was about Zokora:

'The touch of a rapist and the turning circle of a jumbo jet'.

Couldnt be a nicer guy if he tried, but its a shame he just lacked... well... talent.

[KevSpur]

Feel the same about him.
Good business by Levy though.

[JWS]

In my opinion, he wore the shirt with as much pride as the next man. Players may be crap but if they play with pride and as best they can, we should salute that.

If that player is crap [no debate required on that point] it's the club's responsibility to get rid.

I wish him well.


JWS aka the M:001_wub: oderator.

I agree but I was dissapointed we didnt get rid after the first season.

[Rojoknapp]

Best of luck to him, I'm just sad he didn't get to score a goal before he left :sad:

[olly27]

Good luck to him, a nice guy with a great attitude - not good enough for Spurs though.

[irishyid]

am i only one things its dodgy da we let a player go without any sort of solid replacement in place if we cant find one were ****ed

[gomessi]

Best of luck to him, I'm just sad he didn't get to score a goal before he left :sad:

against psv. Was the best pen.

[Rojoknapp]

Doesn't really count though does it? I wanted him to score a proper one, he would have gone mental, bless him :001_rolleyes:

[Spur]

Would've celebrated like Monty Panesar :001_rolleyes:

[gomessi]

I reckon monty has a better first touch.

[Indianspur]

Good luck to the fella but he was not top 6 material with a touch like his!
however he may be better suited to the spanish tempo and i bet he scores there!
We did get conned thinking he will be our lampard after we all saw his shot in the world cup that hit the bar:001_smile:

[Lowther]

all of us on here would play with pride and commitment but if we can't pass, shoot, score etc it doesn't help much. not his fault but he was shit

[thebrute]

you cant really blame him for diving, he is from ivory coast ffs.

wont lose any sleep over it, just hope we get someone decent in now. still cant believe we aint signed anyone

[spurs61]

I'm sorry to see Didier gone, yes he had limited talent but he brought one thing to the team which we will lack even further next season, namely PASSION. I'd swap 20 David Bentley's and ten Darren Bent's for one Didier Zokora. Other than Wilson we have lost the only player in our plethora of midfielders with grit and determination....and of course JOH who is less worthy of a first team place than Didier ever was.

[Richard Wells]

I bet he scores in his first game

[berbzy 'G']

I bet he scores in his first game

The day Zokora gets a shot on target I'll... :001_rolleyes:

[TURKISH]

I will be buying a Seville shirt next season with Zoks name on the back. I love players who show fight and determination even when they lack talent.

I don't believe he was as bad as everyone made out but good luck to the lad.

[irishspur]

I loved his attitude and commitment to spurs and wish him well.

100% agree pal.

[earl warwick]

The day Zokora gets a shot on target I'll... :001_rolleyes:

Within a yard would be an achievement.

[CardiffSPur]

most of his shots didnt even make goal kicks... but i'll miss him; on his good days i loved his driving runs, his pace was incredible... & like people have said, always passionate & gave 100%, unlike a lot of professional footballers these days

[Spur]

Why is there so much love-in for Zok? He played with a smile on his face? Whoopie do.

He was rubbish. Couldn't control the ball, run around like a headless chicken, gave away free-kicks for fun, couldn't cross, pass or shoot, or tackle, or mark, or do anything remotely good except for a 30 yard run every three or four months which would result in a goal kick or the other team jumping on us on the counter-attack!

Good bloody riddance in my view.

Yep, I think you've covered everything there. Apparently, it's more important if a player "loves the club" and "plays for the shirt".

Whilst I did say that and don't have any intentions of changing my opinion I will say that when we were in the shite last aseason he was one of the few to stand up and be counted.

If he wasn't technical enough for England I shudder to think what they'll make of him in Span.

[Shuggie13]

Not really. The sentiment might be shared about those qualities he possessed. In retrospect during the first half of the season he probably stood out for one of the only ones making an effort during the two out of eight era.

Good character, yes. Commendable for his effort, yes. Glad his gone, definitely.

[Hertspur]

so so glad that this clown has gone and at a profit.

i reckon Stephen Clemence offered more to the team thats how shitte he was.

Love the £26million buy out clause he now has, never gonna happen is it!!!

YIDS FOREVER

DID he really go for a profit???
how can they pay more than 8.2 million? or have u got false information?

[MiloMinderbinder]

Went for 8.6 mil not sure if euro or £, either way it was a rip off, Mr Levy I salute you.

Seems that was Euros and that it works out to just under £7m, so no profit, but that's more than I thought we'd get.

Hey think of the positives guys, we could buy him back for 30 Euros! ;)

[Yido]

He works as hard as he possibly can, shows passion and this is the way some of you respect him:thumbdown:

maybe he isnt the most talented player we've ever had but he certainly works his socks off!

good luck zokors we'll miss that energy and dynamism you provided,

I'm sure he'll shine now he's moving to an inferior league.

Big whoop. Maybe we should continue to buy players from inferior leagues because they can shine in them but fail miserably in ours. Big whoop. He worked hard? Fooled me. Could never do - and never did - the right thing.
