I remember Routledge, Lennon, Huddlestone and someone in the "new signing photo" all wearing that horrid yellow and blue tight kappa top back in 05
 
Found it.

Indeed, he won the Champions League under Mourinho. I thought Mendes was underused, when Carrick left I honestly thought he should have played a similar role. Bit random though from you as Mendes hasn't been mentioned in this thread and he isnt in the photo neither unless you were getting him mixed up with Stalteri
 
QPR chasing Spurs duo Jermain Defoe and William Gallas

Queens Park Rangers hope to send out a real signal of intent by signing William Gallas and Jermain Defoe from Tottenham this summer.

Rangers, having only just avoided relegation last season, are determined to make an impact this time and believe they can convince their London rivals to sell the duo to them.

Both players face uncertain futures at White Hart Lane following the appointment of Andre Villas-Boas as manager there this week.

Former Chelsea and Arsenal defender Gallas has already been linked with West Ham even though he still has one year left on his contract.

Spurs want to lower the average age of the squad and are prepared to let the 34‑year-old go after he made just 15 starts in the Premier League last season due to a variety of injuries.

Rangers manager Mark Hughes, who has already signed goalkeeper Robert Green on a free transfer from West Ham and Manchester United full‑back Fabio on loan, is keen to further strengthen his defence by adding the experience of Gallas as well.

The former France international would be happy to remain in the capital, where he has lived since joining Chelsea from Marseille in 2001.

Hughes also wants to improve his attacking options after the club struggled on their return to the Premier League last season and is monitoring Defoe’s situation.

Defoe grew increasingly frustrated over a lack of first-team football under Harry Redknapp last term and admitted he was considering leaving the club.

There was further frustration for the striker last month as he played only 13 minutes of England’s Euro 2012 campaign, coming on as a substitute in their opening draw with France.

At present Defoe is the only recognised striker in the Spurs squad, although Villas-Boas is expected to spend heavily in the transfer market, which includes turning Emmanuel Adebayor’s loan move from Emirates Marketing Project into a permanent deal. Defoe’s fortunes may have improved with a change of manager but QPR are still hopeful they may be able to lure him to Loftus Road.

The 29-year-old has two years left on his current deal but Spurs may be tempted to sell if a club offer in the region of £10million.

Hughes is determined to improve Rangers’ threat up front after they scored just 43 goals in 38 matches in the League last season and has already acquired Andy Johnson from Fulham.

Liverpool have also been linked with the striker, who has scored a total of 118 goals for Spurs in the seven years he has spent in his career at the club over two spells.

Nah, just remembered him is all!


Edit: Brain of Levy mentioned him just now, that must've been why he entered my thoughts.
