He's sharp, he can score and he doesn't worry about missing.

   

The boy can do anything, but to be the star of the World Cup you have got to get to the final and win it!

   

It's incredible considering the public perception that he was tight fisted and he was more than prudent, and lacked ambition to take Tottenham to where the fans wanted them to be.

   

Potentially he could be. He scored the goal four years ago in France against Argentina that was extraordinary.

   

The World Cup needs a brilliant Brazilian team.

   

Even though they won't finish in the top four this season, they will still be of the contenders next season.

   

What I always do is just look at the players, look at the best 11 they can put on the pitch.

   

We got stuffed 4-1, but it was just great to play against, it was like an education. You think you are half good and then you go and play against a side like that!

   

I think if Tottenham are going to be top four side, the fans and the club will need to get away from the philosophy of 'pretty football', that's got to go.

When George Graham was there they complained, harking back to better days, but I think that's a fantasy.

   

I think when people talk about ambition and talking to him, it might have seemed that he wasn't ambitious.

   

Everybody likes Brazil and we want the Brazilians to come out.

   

I played against the Brazilians in '82, who were definitely the best team never to have won the World Cup.

   

These guys live and breathe football; they get something out of going to the training ground every day.

   

Manchester City have been in the doldrums for a while, they came up and went straight back down again.

   

The Italians are very strong defensively. They showed in Euro 2000 how good defensively they are.

   

I think the reality is that, that money was probably badly spent.

   

In '82 Brazil showed that you can't win the World Cup without a solid defense.
