So many rumours went round about his off-field behaviour, most of them drink related. Whilst it was almost certainly the wrong move at the wrong time, he only has himself to blame as to why he never got a look in.

Possibly because of his predilection for getting totally shitfaced at Chiquito's and getting poured into the back of a cab.
And maybe if he was involved on a sat afternoon he wouldn't of gone and got smashed? Even when Lennon was crocked he never got a game. I don't blame him for having a bit of fun if he was never gonna get a chance.

Don't think you can blame Harry for his Spurs career not happening, he certainly recognised his talent, didn't he say "if he could pass a nightclub like he passes a football he could be world class".

Maybe if he hadn't have been on the kaslashnikov he would have been involved on a Saturday afternoon...

Pissed up joker who once went missing when he was required for a drugs test. They found him after 3 days.

In Mexico.

Another player we were told would 'rip it up' when he left and never did.


11 goals and 8 assists for Villareal last season. Not too shabby ?

Soldado

He scored lots in Spain too - maybe if we get a hot Spanish striker and a hot Mexican am (or wherever he plays) we might have somethimg

or Bugger all goals this season in PL.

Waste of skin.

Another player for the sensitive ones.

Should have been binned long before he was finally extradited.

Giovani was a member of the Mexican under-17 team that won the 2005 U17 World Championship held in Peru. He made his debut for the senior national team in a 1–0 victory over Panama on 9 September 2007. He was called to play at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He was also a member of the gold medal-winning team at the 2012 London Olympics.

Giovani was called up by Miguel Herrera to play the 2014 World Cup. Giovani played in Mexico's World Cup opener against Cameroon. Giovani scored two goals which were wrongly disallowed by the referees.[42]

On 29 June 2014, Giovani opened the scoring in a 2–1 round of 16 defeat against the Netherlands with a left-footed long range strike.[43]

I hate to wonder what you'd have planned for his skin if he wasn't using it? :eek:

Watch out Gio!

Did you ever see many performances of his for Spurs - and then ask why most fans thought other players might be better suited or why the 'leaked' meeting with Redknapp and Dos Santos parents happened about his Giovani's late nights etc
