It seems as though our beloved 'Arry is looking to utilise his squad for tonight's Carling up showdown with Manchester United at the fortress that is Old Trafford.
This is a real mark of his intentions and says a lot about the faith that he has in his squad that he will not be solely relying on the Carling Cup as a platform to guarantee a position in Europe next season.
Harry admits, 'Wembley is a great day out but I would love to get into a Champions league position with Tottenham,'
Strong words to say the least. A long shot - yes; an impossibility - certainly not. It is clear that there are players short of match fitness and a Carling Cup tie against a young Man United side would be an ideal opportunity to play the likes of Alan Hutton, Gareth Bale, Jermaine Jenas and Robbie Keane.
What I like about this is the option that we have at the moment. It is a way to for some of the fringe players to make Harry take notice and prove themselves to be indispensable. Robbie has not made a start since the Irish were eliminated due to a former scum handball and he will be up for the challenge.
I love Harry`s comment about Robbie jumping four foot high off the bench when asked to warm up. That is just the dedication and commitment to the cause we have wanting to see for too long now.
I do feel in many ways that Harry should take the Carling Cup very seriously. Football is a funny old game and you can never tell how thing are going to work out at the end of season. Although Champions league football is the epitome, the citadel and the summit, are we not getting a little ahead of ourselves a little early in the season.
I would take a Champions League place at the expense of cup success right now but I am also aware of the fact that qualifying for the Europa League without any silverware at all will still leave a tingle of a bitter taste in the mouth.
Who does Harry play tonight? Does he give Gio a run, allow Alan Hutton to show what he can do, give Robbie the chance to prove that he is still worthy of a first team starting place. Will Bentley take over from Lennon? Nice to have options hey 'Arry?
