Shame. After mason and bentaleb left and with the signing of a new contract I'd hoped he would have featured more.

Always a bit sad when home grown players leave but he obviously hasn't developed at the rate we hoped

With the emergence of Harry Winks, Tom's chances have dwindled even further. Best of luck to him at Swansea.

Totally forgot about Tom... Good luck mate!

 

[Twizzle]

Good luck Tom, should get a lot more game time there.

 

[Phantom]

Good luck Tom, good player just no space in our midfield for the lad.

 

[Bilko]

Little surprised at the fee
4.5 million seems very unLevyish

 

[Dougal]

Our youth set-up has done us proud in the last few years. It's no failure by him not to make the breakthrough at Spurs, these are exceptional times for the young Lilywhites. No disrespect to Swansea but I fully expect him to get a big move in the next 2-3 seasons.

 

[JimmyG2]

All the best Tom.
A very near miss for the Academy.
Give our regards to Gylfi
and all the best in the relegation scrap.

Never quite good enough for us, but too good for the Championship I feel, (which is where Swansea are heading this year).

 

[CosmicHotspur]

I wish him all the best with the Swans and I'm sure he will be valuable to them.

There are some players who have a lot of talent but a timid personality, which holds them back from achieving their potential.

Spurs have had loads of players like this over the years. But these days, under Pochettino, these players struggle to make the grade at Spurs.

And there are some players who have moderate talent and a timid personality. These players have no chance under Pochettino.

That's too cheap but it at least allows him to get some first team football somewhere else.

 

[Japhet]

Good luck to him. Plays with his head up, has good vision and can pick a pass. Think he'll do well for Swansea who shouldn't be in so much trouble. Should have stuck with Gary Monk and blew it when they appointed Bradley IMO.

 

[Jenko]

Only needed another 3% to his game. Probably would have made it if he was 6 inches taller as well and that's not his fault. always liked him and glad he was let go for a reasonable price cos it shows Levy didn't try to extort the buying club as he would be holding the player back.

Makes me wonder if a gentleman's agreement has also been made to buy sygurdsson should swansea go down.

I wonder if there is a high sell-on clause where we get a good perecentage.

I bloody well hope not.

Not sure about that. He hasn't had a full season of football in the premier league before and wasn't even making our bench.

 

[whitesocks]

I bloody well hope not.

Was he really that bad?
There are a few players where you're glad when they are gone,
be he wasn't one of them and neither is Carroll.
