Surprised you have Ledders on the bench, IMO at their best Toby wasn't a patch on him prime for prime. Yeah you'd only get 25 or so league games a season out of Ledley but when he was at his best he was absolutely imperious. Was very sad to see the knee get worse and him lose that edge in his later years but a pleasure to have watched him many times in the flesh, absolute wall of a defender.

Berba > Son in terms of ability and uniqueness. I rate Bale and Waddle higher than Son. Clearly for consistency and longevity Son is higherThe disrespect that Son gets in this forum is mindblowing.
Some idiots have VDV and Berbatov ahead of Son?!
Sadly not someone I ever watched. Of course he’d be in any all time list but I’ve gone for players I’ve seen with my own eyes at WHL. I just missed Hoddle too as it was very late 80s when I first made it to WHL.No Greavsie???

I should preface this that I was born in 1991 so this can only include players post 2000 (and really players before 2004 might be getting overlooked as my memory before that is patchy).
Bench: Robinson, Vertonghen, Tripper, Parker, Van der Vaart, Eriksen, Berbatov
Reserve: Dawson (my favourite spurs player), Dele, Lennon, Keane, Defoe, Davies, Dier (their versatility and longevity rounds up the squad well)
No explanation needed: Kane, Bale, Modric, Lloris
Formation: I started with 4-2-3-1 but wasn't happy with RW (I put Bale in the middle) and thought my midfield two could use some DM support so switched to 4-3-3
RB/LB: We were spoilt at RB when we had Walker and Tripper in the squad. Although Tripper had a poor season before he left us, I think he is underrated and I considered him for both RB and LB. But in the end, Walker and Rose both edged it.
CB: As hard as it is to break the Alderweireld - Vertonghen partnership, King has to be in this team. There's not too much between the two of them but I feel that Alderweireld would pair up with King better
Midfield: Carrick vs Parker was difficult. Parker had more bite as a more traditional DM while Carrick was a very creative DM. While a more traditional DM might suit the other two better, with 3 in the middle and how highly I rate Carrick I picked him. The only reason that Dembélé isn't in the "No explanation needed" was 1) I originally had 2 CMs 2) Carrick
Son: Yes Son was very poor last season but there's no doubt that he gets ahead of the others in my team

Nah, Berba was skilled and unique but he never reached the heights Son has in the Premier league. Bale and Waddle I can give ya, but not VDV and Berba.. that is just pure disrespect to Son.
No way
He was unique - epitome of a Spurs player. Son is brilliantly effective don’t get me wrong but Berba smoked fags, strolled about and had a touch equal to Hoddle
He had good moments but he never reached the height of Son. Son has averaged 20 goals and 10 assists for the past 6 years man....
Please do not compare the 2.....
I saw Berbatov's Spurs debut away at Birmingham in a friendly game.
He scored a great goal and was perfect in everything he did.
His touch, his passing, his vision, his finishing.
I knew he was going to be the bollocks from that one game.
One of my favourite Spurs players of all time.
A player you would gladly pay to watch.
A proper footballer.
